I can not get my printer to work with my new macbook pro. Help?

I have a printer from Dell that my macbook has recognized and it act as though it is printing but nothing is happening. The computer acts like it sends the doc to the printer but my printer is not doing anything. Any suggestions?

Check the Dell website for compatible printer drivers you can download and install.
Once the drivers are installed, open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Then click + to add the printer.

  • Brother Printer HL-5250DN not working with my new MacBook Pro - HELP

    Hello there, I just purchased a new MacBook Pro - I've had to use PC (yuck) for work and had an IBook which was great until the dog knocked it off the dresser ...... Anyway, so I've replaced it with the Pro and love it - of course. Except......
    My problem is this Brother printer (HL 5250DN) which has been an absolute workhorse, but try as I might I can't get this Pro to print - unless I physically hook it to a USB port and print, which defeats the purpose of having a wireless network allowing me to print from anywhere.....
    I have tried suggestions from previous posts (unzipping the gz files - resetting the printer) but still nothing works... Any other suggestions - I'm going nuts here and Brother help line can't seem to give me a solution that works... HELP..... I really want to get going (New Years Resolutions and such) on my new projects and am absolutely grounded with this thing....

  • Can't get out.print to work with XML jsp tags

    <jsp:scriptlet>
    if(ErrorTrap == true) {
         out.println("<tr><td colspan=\"center\" align=\"center\">There was" an error while processing the form</td></tr>");
         ErrorTrap = false;
    </jsp:scriptlet>
    I can't get this script to work with the XML stype jsp tags. It keeps telling me the <jsp> tags are untermintaed. Is there a special trick to fix this or do I have to use the non-XML type tags?

    Sorry, I didn't mean to put the extra " in the out.println text string. :-/

  • How can I get my CS$ to work on my new Macbook after a migration?

    Please somebody help me get my CS4 to work on my new MacBook.  I deactivated on the old one, and the Apple store installed it on this one before the deactivation.  Is there any hope?  This is so frustrating and Adobe is not much help.

    You haven't told us what actually the problem is. If you get the 150:30 licensing error, run the cleaner tool and reinstall the program properly. It's a known fact that using the Migration Assistant doesn't work with Adobe software due to the specifics of the activation system...

    My ipod classic, (that I've previously used on another mac), is not working on my new Macbook Pro??  I've had all my music transered to my new Macbook, but can't upload anything onto my ipod :-(

    When I tried the headsets again, they all work. I didn't have one of them plugged in far enough. I guess didn't want to breakanything. Thanks for your reply. All fixed!!

  • I've used a Hitachi multimedia projector with my previous MacBook with Snow Leopard but I can't get it to project data from my new MacBook Pro. Any suggestions?

    My new MacBook Pro with 10.8.4 does not seem to work with my Hitachi multimedia projector which works find with my older MacBook running 10.6.8. Is there anything I can do to get the projector to recognize my Mac or is it the other way around? (It would be nice to just carry one machine instead of two. Besides it's not a good advertisement for the new MacBook Pro!

    Are you using the same cable and input connector with both systems?
    Are you using the same (or corresponding) settings on both systems?

  • HT1349 I can't get past the welcome screen for my new macbook pro. Help!!

    Seriously. My new macbook pro will not let me progress past the welcome screen. It will not let me select australia (or any other) country as its host country!!!!

    I just had the exact same problem. You must physically push down on the trackpad and get an audible "click" to activate the continue button on the language screen. The one-touch click function is not yet enabled on your Macbook because you haven't set it up yet. This should work for you. It did for me!

  • Can't get my printer to work with Airport Express

    I got a new MacBook today, everything is up and running, so is my Airport express with my DSL line, but my printer is not responding to the connection. I plugged in the USB port from the printer to the Airport and the printer and it doesn't work. I restarted things, went to troubleshooting... nothing helped. It's not the printer because if I plug in the printer USB port directly to my MacBook it works. Anyone have any advice? Thank you!

    The directiions on your site are for the Printer Setup Utility that was part of OS X 10.3 Panther. There is no optoin for "IP Printing" in the Tiger Printer Setup Utility, so I don't get how everyone was able to follow the intructions successfully. I sure can't. Is it enough to just add the printer normally using the default browser (as a Bonjour printer) and selecting the aformentioned GIMP driver manually? If not, I need help getting instructions that pertain to Tiger IP Printing. Thanks.

  • I can not get itunes match to work with my ipad.  I am subscribed but when i go to turn it on it keeps telling me that i am not subscribed.  how do i fix this?

    I subscribed to itunes match. I have it working on my iphone but can't get it to work on my ipad.  I did the same exact steps that I did for my iphone but when i try to turn it on it keeps telling me I am not subscribed and to subscribe through itunes on my PC.  I've already paid and subscribed to iTunes match and do not know why I keep getting this error message.  When I am in itunes on my PC I can see that my ipad is not authorized with that account and do not know if that is the problem.  If so how do I authorize my ipad?  I've used the store drop down box and choose authorize this computer but it keeps trying to authorize my PC and not my ipad.  I am running the most current version of the ipad and itunes.
