Hello mariamac80,
It sounds like you cannot print from your network printer on your MacBook. Printer issues can be a but tough to nail down, but I would recommend trying the troubleshooting in this article named:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

  • I have a office jet pro 8500 A909 a printer. Will it print wireless? windows 7 & 8

    can it be modified to print wireless if it won't do it now

    Hi,
    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 (A909a) can only be connected using USB or wired Etehrnet, the printer itself cannot be connected wirelessly.
    By connecting it using a network Ethernet cable you may install the printer on any PC connected to the same network, either Wirelessly or Wired..
    For Windows 8 download and use the doftware below:

    For Windows 7 you may gt the latest software from here:

  • I have a Office Jet pro 8500 wireless.

    When I print an email, I get a window on the screen as if I wanted to send a fax. I have tried the Network test Report, and everything looks fine.
    What am I doing wrong?

    What program are you using for email?  It would appear the default printer is the Fax version.  Go to File, Print and select the Officejet 8500 rather than the Officejet 8500 Fax.

  • Two office jet pro 8500 printers set up to operate wirelessly from one computer

    I have two office jet pro 8500 Wireless printers in my real estate office. I would like for them to both operate wirelessly from one computer, but can't get it to work.  I do not have any firewalls enabled. I can get only one to work.

    Do you have a network (wireless router) in your office that you are trying to connect the printers to or are you connecting directly to each printer via its "hpsetup" network?

  • Ipad mini printing to Hp office jet pro 8500 wireless

    Any suggestions re printing from Ipad mini using HP office jet pro 8500 wireless which supposedely is Airprint compatible?Downloaded HP's Eprint but it was not able to ID printer. Thank you.

    If its AirPrint compatible you should not need an additional App. The App is onyl foir their wireless Printers which aren't Air Print compatible.
    Make sure the printer is connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad. Then tap on the "Send To" icon in any App that you wish to print. Then tap on the Print option. 
    From there it should Appear as a selectable Printer in the Printers button

  • I have a Office Jet Pro L7780. When I try to print red, the color comes out brown

    I have a Office Jet Pro L7780. When I try to print red, the color comes out brown. I have tried replacing all of the ink cartridges, printing from within two different programs (microsoft word and belight business card composer V5) from my Mac, and from within MS Word on my Windows lap top. In all cases if red is called for, I get brown.
    I have gone through the printhead cleaning procedure, the alignment procedure and the print quality diagnostics, all to no avail.
    Thanks in advance for your help

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless carriage jam message.

    I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless.  It is on a home wireless network and I am using a new HP laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit).  I am getting a carriage jam message that I cannot get removed.  Leading up to this, my son did have a paper jam and probably didn't get all the paper removed the first time around.  But I have checked thoroughly with a flashlight and there is now no paper anywhere in the carriage.  I have followed the video online and still have the same message and I can tell that the carriage is not moving side to side.  It stays over on the right side.   When the video talks about manually moving the carriage, I can move it very easily manually after I wiggle it a little and move it to the right a little.  Then it will move back and forth easily by hand.  I have tried to see if something is blocking it, but can see nothing.  But then when I try to print a test page, no luck.  I have reset it according to the video with no results.  I cannot print a test page from the touchscreen or from my computer.
    I really like this printer and hope you can help me.

    I hope you are doing well and sorry lt learn that you are having this issue.
