Printing Wirelessly from MacBook Pro

Just got a MacBook Pro a few weeks ago. We have an HP PhotoSmart C7180 wireless printer, and I can't figure out how to "connect" the MacBook to the printer wirelessly. The MacBook recognizes the printer when I plug it in, and I connected the printer to my FIOS wireless network that I have. However, when I go to print wirelessly, I get a message saying my printer is off-line.
I no longer use my AirPort Extreme Base Station because you don't need it with FIOS, which comes with its own wireless network. Any help would be much appreciated.

Try deleting the printer from the Printers setting (the one that you set up when it's connected directly to your Mac). And then, add a new printer, it should find your printer in the network (if it's connected to the network properly). Add that printer and choose the correct driver.

    I also saw this same error message above the Print Queue, ever since allowing the Epson Printer Software Update (August 2013) to install. After this update installed, I was able to print a basic Test Page from the Print Queue, but when printing from any application I only got "Looking for printer..." displayed above the Print Queue, which would stall and never print.
    2008 MacBook, 10.7.5. It used to print to my Epson WorkForce 845 wirelessly without problems, before this software update was installed.
    Changing the driver from "Epson WorkForce 845" to "Epson WorkForce 600 - Gutenprint v5.2.3" was a workaround that did allow me to print, but I wasn't satisfied with that.
    Found this better solution in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5233149?start=0&tstart=0
    (with thanks to Yuengdog1983):
    This issue may be a result of the Computer Name being left empty:
    Open System Preferences and choose Sharing.
    Enter a name for your computer.
    Even without restarting the MacBook, I was able to now change back to using the Epson WorkForce 845 driver v9.0 successfully. I never would have guessed that a Computer Name is required in order to print!

  • Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer

    Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer using wireless router.
    I am having trouble setting this up? help? suggestions?

    > Printer is showing its location as a direct connection via USB
    But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)
    > If I click to run dic utility there are no clickable options... only lists calculate image checksum.
    Once Disc Utility is launched, select your local hard drive then the [Repair Permissions] button bottom left will light up.

    Your router does not support printing through the USB port.  It only supports USB hard drives.

  • Help printing wirelessly from MacBook Pro to Canon MP640?

    I can't print from my new MacBook Pro (running 10.9.1) to my Canon MP640. I installed the latest driver (10.84.2.0) correctly, I think, and the printer has WiFi connection and I can print via a PC on my wireless network, but MacBook doesn't see it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi bannyx,
    I hate to hear you are having issues.  Does the printer have a valid IP address when connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?  Click Here for steps to take related to this issue. Please see the below information regarding the connection types for this printer.  Also I need a bit more information to proceed if the above link does not resolve the issue.
    Needed information:
    1.  Has the installation been completed from a disk or download?
    2.  Did the installation software detect the networked printer?
    2.  What is the IP of the printer when connected with Ethernet cable?
    3.  Are you able to access the embedded web server for the printer (type IP into address bar of web browser, does printer web page pull)?
    4.  Do you have security software running on the computer?
    5.  Is the router running in mixed mode?
    Connection information:
    1. Ethernet and wireless connectivity are exclusive.  If the device is hard wired with an Ethernet cable, wireless communication is voided (radio disabled) because the printer is networked with a cable. 
    2. Disconnecting the USB cable puts the driver in an offline state due to the fact it cannot communicate with the printer.  This is normal; it basically informs the user the device is not communicating. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

    I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless.  I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly.  All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers.  When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode.  In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail.  What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly?  Thanks.

    OK, thanks for that.  It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
    1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test.  Is the printer connected to the network?  If it is not:
         a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
         b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
    2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
         Restart your Mac.
    3. Reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • Canon MX860 get error 300 when printing wirelessly from MacBook Pro

    I've been printing wirelessly for several years and most recently after an upgrade to OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite it was printing fine until this morning. Something changed and I get error 300 when I try to print. If I connect my MacBook to the Canon MX860 printer using the USB cord it prints fine so I'm assuming it's some sort of wireless connection issue. I powered down and up both the printer and the Macbook and still get the error. I tried the "Reset Printer System" from the System Preferences and now I can't add the printer back in. I tried using the CD that came with the printer to reinstall the wireless connection and the set-up program says it's incompatible with my operating system and refuses to run. Any assistance to help me print wirelessly again would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

    After further investigation, we believe this is due to an intermittent  modem problem and is not the fault of the printer or MacBook.

  • Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530 get message printer offline

    Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook to ENVY 5530, get error message that "printer is offline"
    Thanks for the help.

    Hey @Geneferg,
    Thanks for getting back to me regarding this issue. Because your printer shows connected on the Wireless Test Report, I am going to have you run some standard Mac troubleshooting steps to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
    First, it's important to have a nice clean slate to work with. Therefore, I am going to have you remove and uninstall the software and drivers for your HP Envy.
    To start, can I please have you click here and run through the steps on how to Reset the Print System for your computer. Please run through the steps on 'Resetting the printing system in Mac OS X v10.5.x or 10.6.x'. This will remove every printer from your computer. However, this does not uninstall the printers. Therefore, if you use other printers on your Mac computer simply ensure that the printer is connected through the USB Cable or network connected and (+) add the printer back in via the Print & Scan window. Do not add your HP Envy back in at this time.
    Next, please click here and follow through with the uninstall steps under the 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' dropdown.
    Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer
    Once the website opens, select the Download button on the top left
    Once the download is complete, please follow any onscreen instructions to reinstall your wireless printer
    Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled please test the printing function again to verify if the 'offline' issue has been resolved.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Printing wirelessly with MacBook Pro?

    I'm sure this topic has come up before. Does anyone have any ideas how I can print wirelessly using my MacBook Pro? I'm trying to get Airport Express working but the 2 printers that I have are not on the list of compatible printers so I think that I might not get it to work easily.
    It is such a pain to have to take the laptop to the printer and plug it in in order to print. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Just enable printer sharing on the machine hosting the printer (be it a windows box or an OS X machine) and then print to the shared printer. A "cleaner" solution (as your printers get replaced) is jut buy wireless printers. Last year I replaced an old HP deskjet that was shared off my Vista desktop machine with an HP wireless 6988dt printer. Now there is no longer a need to keep the Vista box from sleeping when idle just to be able to print.

  • Printing wireless via Macbook Pro but not via iPad

    I was able to install, print my HP Deskjet InkAdvantage 3515 from my Macbook Pro but when tried printing using my iPad, AirPrint printer not available.  How come? Did set-up wireless config in printer too.

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
    3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
    4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

  • Sending faxes wirelessly from macbook pro

    Recently switched old printer on wireless network to new HP printer,scanner, fax combo. Everything works but the fax. When I attempt to fax a document, I get an error message stating that no fax modem is available. When I go to "print and fax" area of system preferences, the driver is present for the printer as well as the fax but there is no fax tab to allow me to view which fax modems are present. There is a Dell PC in my household on the same wireless network-- it can scan, print, and fax. Go figure. How do I get my macbook pro to send faxes over the wireless network?

    grwjr,
    Well, it appears you have installed the HP software OK, but you are following the wrong procedure to send a fax.
    As sig said, make sure you have a phone line connected to the HP all-in-one. Then, follow these steps to fax a document:
    -Open the document on on your computer.
    -Select File->Print
    -From the drop-down menu at the top, next to "Printer" select the fax printer.
    -Click the Print button.
    That's it. To use your HP all-in-one's fax function, you do not use any of your Mac's built-in fax capability. So, don't bother with any of the built-in fax commands.

    2.Double-click Disk Utility.
    3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").

  • Can no longer print from IPad. Prints ok from MacBook pro. Any ideas?.

    I am able to print from a MacBook Pro but I am no longer able to print from my IPad. Any ideas?

    Hi DanielBN,
    I am glad that you are using an Hp ePrint printer, B210a.
    I would suggest you to check the print center on your iPad and cancel jobs in the print center and then try.
    You can follow the step bleow in order to cancel jobs on the iPad.
    Click on the home key 2times.
    It will bring up the apps you visited and it should also show print center.
    Click on the print center and cancel the first job or all the jobs.
    Then try printing from the iPad.
    Do let us know the result.

  • Problem Printing Wirelessly from MacBook to Epson Stylus NX530

    I have been using an Epson Stylus NX530 wireless printer for 8 months or so without issue. However, over the last couple of weeks, I can't print as usual. I can print things from my iPhone, but nothing from my MacBook. When I go to the printer queue for the print job, it says there is a connection error. I used to be able to check the ink levels, but now it says that "information unavailable".
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer in the system preferences, including "printer reset" (control + click printer list) multiple times to no avail. I have tried checking network connections on the printer and everything seems to work (hence, the abilitiy to print from my iPhone). I have gone to Safari and tried to connect via bonjour (it "sees" the printer, but is unable to connect).
    I've even tried to use the network utility program (using a Time Capsule as my router) to ping the printer, but was unsuccessful. I have a felling that there is some type of network issue. I am not a network person, so I'm a little apprehensive of messing around with any settings.
    Please help! My wife is a teacher and really needs to get our printer running again.
    Thanks in advance.

    Well, after the Apple Store genius said the time capsule works fine in the store (of course), I got an Airport Express "just in case". After have same issues with the TC when I got home, I installed the AE as the main wifi router which has reestablished the lost internet and wireless printing to ALL devices/computers (yeah!).
    I'm now trying to hookup the Time Capsule to the AE to be able to use our Time Machine backups again.
    I have configured the connection as follows: wall > modem > IN: WAN connection on Airport Extreme > OUT: LAN connection on Airport Extreme  > IN: "To Internet" conncetion on Ooma (VOIP phone box) > OUT: "Home Network" on Ooma > IN: WAN connection on Time Capsule.
    All devices have solid green "all is good" lights on. Wi-fi internet is working on all 3 MacBooks, 2 iPhones and 1 iPad. All 6 can print wirelessly again.
    Any tips for configuring the TC to access the TM backups I have already?
    Thanks again.
