Why can i not get my ipad to recognize my wireless printer but my apple desktop works with it

Why can I not get my ipad2 to print from my my wireless printer that i use for my apple desktop

It's also possible that your wireless printer will work with a minor OS tweak if you're on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x. Your Mac system must be on for printing to occur. (I haven't tested with Leopard 10.5.x or Lion 10.7.x)
Details are found in this Apple Support Communities thread begun in November 2010

I've been using it to print to a Canon MP560 wireless printer and an HP LaserJet 1320 USB-to-Mac printer from my wife's iPad 2 since the first day she received it for both photos and documents.  Duplex printing to the Canon does not seem to be supported.

    Why can I not download ios5 and my computer says it has run out of time?

    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version)
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see

  • Why can i not get my amazon intant movies to come up on my apple tv?

    Why can I not get my amazon instant movies to come up on my apple tv from my ipad airplay?

    Not an AppleTV problem as such.
    Many app developers seem to block video airplay of content that you can watch in an app.
    I can only assume this has something to do with rights issues for the movie/show.
    Check on amazon's instant movies site for more info.

  • Cannot get my ipad to recognize my wireless printer.

    I only have an iPad and hp netbook.  iPad does not recognize my wireless hp deskjet 3050a printer.  Don't know how to connect printer to my wireless network

    It looks like if your printer is model 3050a j611, then it should be OK for that iPad.
    Take a look at the following Apple setup instructions and see if that helps clear up the issue for you.

    I hope this helps!

  • Why can I not get the Web Icon for some of my saved Bookmarks

    Many of my saved Bookmarks have their correct Web Icons.
    However many fail to save their Web Icon leaving the Icon blank.
    The Web Sites in question do have specific Web Icons.
    I have tried deleting the Bookmarks in question and saving them again without success.
    Why can I not get these icons to be saved in the Bookmarks?

    No problem here with that TalkTalk website, the favicon image saves immediately when I save it as a bookmark. It uses a conventional favicon.ico image in the root directory <br />
    link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" /
    With Barcalays iBank I can't figure out where the website image in the Location bar is being loaded from.
    With Barclaycard, the favicon saves with the new bookmark, even though that image is in a non-standard location. <br/>
    link rel="shortcut icon" href="assets/images/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"

    Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

    Yes I understand the PC is where everything is maintained and my playlists used to reside there and that is where I created them. However, they are now gone and only appear on my iPhone and I am trying to figure out how to get my Playlists to show back up on my PC so I can manage the songs.

  • HT201269 why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iphone to import to my new Ipad Air?

    Why can I not get my photos and videos stored on my iPhone to import onto my new iPad Air ?

    We don't know how to answer because we don't know what you are doing.
    I can tell you that you cannot connect the two devices together to transfer content. And videos do not work in Photo Stream, but it does work for photos. However, you can only stream photos to the device after you have enabled photo stream on the iPad. Any photos that were already on the phone - before you turned on Photo Stream -will not sync to the iPad.
    Look at this app for the videos.

  • Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?

    Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?
    It tells me "unable to confirm account name or password.
    But the same name and password worked on my ipad 2.

    If you have a Gmail account and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

  • Why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge?

    why can't I get my ipad 2 to charge?  I have never had this problem before.  I have tried two different chargers.  I have tried it via the computer.  I have turned the ipad off and on.  Any suggestions?  Thank you.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    When you're swapping out chargers, make sure you're using an iPad charger. It is different from an iPhone one (iPhone chargers put out about half the power)
    Charging via USB will likley tell you that it's not charging because most USB's put out a fraction of the power that the iPad wants, so it says not charging.
    ALso try different outlets and cables if you have them
    If you go through all that and still can't get it to charge then you may need to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it.

    In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div' or any of my 'designer' tools?

    Insertion of APDivs/Layers are deprecated in CC. Historically, APDivs caused many, many problems for people who didn't understand they were not intended to be used as a primary layout tool.  Look at FluidGrid Layouts.

    This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
    I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
    I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
    So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
    That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
    All the music is on an 2T external drive.

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.
