I have a dell A940 printer. how do i hook up my macbook to it so i can print?

I would like to print docs and photos from my macbook to my dell A940 printer. How do I do this? Also I have a clickfree external hard drive that I used to backup files from my old PC. I can't figure out how to select and make changes to or add to iphoto, the photos that I have saved on the clickfree external hard drive. How do I do that?

Hi JayC,
To change the paper source setting of the printer, please follow the steps located here.  Please note, plain paper that is not Letter 8.5"x11", A5, A4, or B5 sized, and paper types other than plain paper cannot be fed from the cassette.
Hope this helps!

  • For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. Nothing there about sizing.

    For the life of me, I can't find out what size a photo is in terms of inches or how to change the size of the photo[s] so I can print them. I think I read somewhere to click edit, then click adjust. I don't see anything about re-sizing when I click the adjust tab: only saturation and tint levels. Thank you.

    With respect to digital images, there really is no size in inches. The size is given as number of pixels horizontally and vertically. In iPhoto '09 you click the little "i" inthe lower right side of the window and it will display information related to the selected photo, including the pixel dimensions. I do not have iPhoto '11 installed so I don't know if it is the same there.
    In some applications, such as preview, it has something additional called Dots per Inch (DPI) which you would think would allow you to convert the pixel dimensions to inches. It is not a real thing, though. The DPI is determined by how large or small you have chosen to print your photo and the capabilities of your printer. 
    There is also something called Aspect Ratio, which is usually expressed in inches x inches such as 6x9 but that doesn't mean the size on the screen or when printed is 6x9.  It is the ratio of the pixel dimensions.  When cropping your photos, you will have several standard aspect ratios to choose from plus any custom ones you create.
    In iPhoto '09, after you choose Print, in the Print Setting window are the settings for the size you want the photo printed. You want to shoose a setting with the same aspect ratio of your photo. Otherwise, iPhoto will resize and/or crop your photo to fit the size you have chosen.

    Why not simply update your old AppleID so you have only one iTunes account?

  • How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5.  I can print from this app thru wifi.  But it can,t print mail, web pages, etc..

    How do I get print n share to work after upgrade to iOS 5.  I can print from the app thru wifi and PC. However am unable to print mail, web pages, etc..
    In mail when I try to print it just says can,t find air printers.  It used to say print with print  n share.

    I sent e-mail to developer regarding this and they said that basically Apple has denied them access to the Airprint dialog in the new source code for iOS 5.  So, the only way to print to pdf is to capture the e-mail or webpage in the internal apps within Print n Share.  INHO, this really *****.  Apple should make printing to pdf files just a standard feature of all their apps.  If they don't do this, they are going to lose alot of business to the Adroid world as pdf file format is the business standard for all documents.

    I have a student Visa. I wanted to purchase the new macbook with retina display. Can i clam a VAT refund?

    When I go to europe and head back to the states I can go to customs at their airport i.e france, italy or germany and get VAT refund for all the purchases I made. It does not work the other way around. purchase in the US heading back to europe as far as I know but you can ask US customs at the airport if they do such thing, just make sure you have copies of your receipts.

  • How do I get my Canon MX860 back online so I can print wirelessly on my Mac OSX 10.8.4?

    I recently installed a new and bigger Time Capsule on my MacBook Pro system and since doing so, I lost the ability to print wirelessly on my Canon MX860 printer.  I am using Mountain Lion OSX 10-8-4.
    I note Pahu discussion in another group on this same issue but it pertains to Snow Leopard.  I don't know how much difference it makes but when I followed his instructions, I did not get my problems resolved.  I am inserting here his discussion and in bold my comments where my results differed.
    Pahu comments follow (min results in bold):  Some of the new models of Canon inkjet let you set the network settings using the touch panel on the printer. I am not sure if your MX860 has this setting, called Easy Setup under Device Settings > Network. If it does then you can change the network settings and create a new print queue on the Mac.
    If it doesn't have the ability to change the settings via the keypad then you will have to connect the printer via USB to your Mac, which will create a USB connected print queue. If you then open Print & Fax, select this USB MX860 print queue and then press Options & Supplies, you will see the Utility tab. I DID NOT HAVE THAT TAB  I FOLLOWEED HIS LEAD USING THE FOILLOWING:  MAC HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Utilities With this selected then click Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility and within this utility you will see the Network Settings button. Select this and you can then enter the new network settings, such as the SSID, type of security being used and the password for the network. Save the changes, turn off the power to the MX860 and then disconnect the USB cable.
    Now turn the printer back on and open Print & Fax again. For the USB print queue you just created, you can delete this. I NEVER SAW ANY PRINT QUEUES AFTER TURNING THE PRINTER BACK ON.  ONLY THING I HAD WAS THE PRINTER LISTED IN THE WINDOW SHOWING IT WAS OFFLINE.  And for the old networked print queue, you need to delete this also. You may also need to delete the networked scanner queue if you had one. So with all the old queues to the MX860 removed you can then add the new network printer. I DID TWO THINGS, FIRST LEAVING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW, I TRIED ADDING USING + BUT NOTHING HAPPENED.  THEN I TRIED DELETING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW AND THEN TRIED HITTINH + BUT NOTHING EVER APPEARED.  HAD TO RECABLE THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK TO GET PRINTER BACK.  Click the + and wait for the MX860 to appear as a printer - it will appear first as a scanner and you can either add that now or after adding the printer. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED AND I LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.  Several seconds after the scanner appears the printer should also appear, showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. DID NOT HAPPEN.  Select this and the Print Using menu should automatically select the Canon MX860 series printer driver. When it does click Add to complete the network print queue creation and repeat the steps to add the network scanner if you need it.  OBVIOUSLY, NONE OF THIS HAPPENED EITHER.
    NOW IT IS ME AGAIN.  Can someone please help me with this mess?  I am so frustrated with dealing with this for three days and the only way I can print is using the RSB cable which is not so cool strung across my bedfrom the computer to the printer.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  I am an old man of 73 and way over my head with this mess.  Don't know why Canon has to make this so difficult.  Thanks in advance, Ron Wikoff

    I too am experiencing the same problem, my Canon MX860 printer is no longer connecting to my Airport Extreme Router. I tried following the directions on Canon's website http://www.usa.canon.com/CUSA/assets/app/pdf/wireless/router_network_change_mx34 0_mp495_mx860_mp980_mp620_mac.pdf
    I have tried uninstalling all of the printer drivers, as suggested in another apple discussion, then running the Canon IJ network tool.
    I tried PAHU's response above:
    Okay. No facility to add the MX860 to an Apple wireless network using the control panel so you will need to use the Canon IJ Network Tool.
    So with the Mac connected to the MX860 via USB cable, open Canon IJ Network Tool (which should be located in Applications > Canon Utilities > IJ Network Tool). If you are looking in the other path you mention above, this could be an older version so download and install this latest version of the IJ Network Tool.
    With the IJ Network Tool open, the first window talks about adding the printer to the network. Ensure the setting "Use the printer on the network" is set. Click OK
    From the next window, the MX860 should be shown and as connected to the Mac via USB. Select it and click OK.
    The next window will show the utility searching for wireless access points. A new window will then appear asking you to confirm the connection to the access point and the text will show which access point was found - which should show "Ronald Wikoff's Network". Click Yes to continue. When a window appears stating that the Canon IJ Network Tool wants to use your password, click Allow. (I cannot make it past this step. The Canon IJ Network Tool does not aoutmatically find my password. Instead I am taken to a screen where I type in my password and then attempt to connect.)
    Now the window will take several seconds to setup the printer and should show a Setup Completion window. Click OK. (I never make it to this window. I receive an error message that that says the printer cannot communicate with the access point and to check the password. I checked the password then tried again. I even changed the password in the airport utility to make sure I had the correct password and it still did not work. I am starting to suspect that this may be related a recent Airport utility upgrade to 6.3.1 a few days ago.)
    This will make the Add printer window appear. In the list, the "Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)" should be visible. If it is, select it. The "Use" menu should then show "Canon MX860 series". If it does, click Add. This will add the network printer to the Mac.
    If you now open Print & Scan, the "Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)" should be in the printers list, as well as the Canon MX860 series. This latter one is for the USB connection. You could delete this printer and disconnect the USB cable.
    The last step is to print a document to this network printer.
    I plan on calling Canon tomorrow but if you have any other options for my to before then I am open to suggestions.

  • How do you print the calander from an iPad to a wireless HP6520. I can print everything else.

    Hiw do you print the calander from an iPad to a wifi connected HP 6520. I can print everything else. Printer and wifi both working fine.

    It's not meant to support that. You can do a work around by taking a screen cap and then printing that. To take a screen cap push down the home and sleep button at the same time (like you'd press down a camera shutter)
    The screen will flash white and you'll hear a camera sound. You'll find the screen cap in your photos app.

    Otherwise, you would have to find an app in the app store that provides for printing.

  • How do I change what Firefox opens documents with so I can print them?

    I used to print documents for work. The would show up in separate tabs across the top. I click on it and print. Now all the documents go to an arrow on the side and when Ipull them up they are in wordpad and jibberish. please help.

    Could you describe this in a little more detail?
    First, are you opening PDF documents from a website? If Firefox is automatically downloading them instead of displaying them, you may be able to change that setting. Please see this article for more information: [[View PDF files in Firefox without downloading them]].
    Second, instead of clicking items on the download panel to open them, try clicking the folder icon on the right to open the folder they're in with the file highlighted. What kind of file does Windows say it is? If you right-click the file, do you have the option to open it in another program?
    Third, if the problem comes after printing, make sure the checkbox for "Print to file" is NOT selected in the print dialog.
