Can I use my non-wireless hp 8500 Officejet Pro to work wirelessly?

I already have a wireless internet setup and am using a motorola  3347 modem/router.  I am using a Mac with 10.5 and a PC with windows 7, mostly interested in printing wirelessly from the PC (in my son's room).  Can I just get a usb wireless dongle and attach it to printer.  Or better yet, can I attach my modem to printer by ethernet cable?  I'm thinking its probabl;y not that simple, but wondering if there is an option that is cheaper than buying a new wireless all-in one.  Thanks
This question was solved.

Actually the best way to connect it is by Ethernet to your router!  Just plug it in with Ethernet (and unplug the USB).
Get the latest software for your printer (for both your Mac and your PC) from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.  Choose "Network" as the installation type when it asks.

    Can I use a non apple wireless hard drive with time Machine?

    Some NAS (network storage) systems do claim to support Time Machine, with varying levels of success. For example, the Synology units have this feature. They're not officially supported by Apple, though.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

  • Can i use a belkin wireless g router with an iMac

    can i use a belkin wireless g router with an imac

    It will work. The wireless card in iMacs (recent ones) work with n, g, and b networks. The g protocol is slower (54 mbs) versus n (130 mbs up to 300 mbs). My employer has hundreds of such access points and has been updating them all to n, but there are still some g routers they haven't gotten to, and they work fine. 54 mbs is not bad, it's about 5 megabytes/sec roughly. Typical actual throughput is lower than these numbers by ~ 50%, so doing a large Mac OS update download of 300 Megabytes would take about ~ 2 minutes with a g router, and maybe a bit less than 1 minute with an n router.

  • HT4628 I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken

    I can not use the internal wireless card with my Mac pro 2012, I don't know if it is broken. The problem is happen recently, I have to use an independent wireless card now. Thanks!

    When you enable Internet Sharing in OS X, you are creating a separate sub-net.
    There is no option to allow this to be a simple pass-through from Ethernet to AirPort (or the other way).
    The problem is easily solved by getting an inexpensive wireless router. You can replace your current router OR disable the DHCP server on the wireless router and allow the wireless clients to get an IP address from the current router.

    Hi, Kimberly. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    If you mean a USB wireless dongle, the answer is yes (as long as it is Mac-compatible).

  • Can you use a Epsom wireless printer to print from an iPad

    Can you use an epson wireless printer to print from an iPaad

    Yes.
    Certain models are air print compliant, check your manual.
    If not I'm not sure if Epson  has an app, but there are third party printer apps such as Print n Share, Print Central and Printopia that should work for you (just to name the three most commonly recommended, there are plenty of apps so read the reviews and pick the one best for you)

  • Can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    can I use an USB disc with my macbook pro bought in 2005.  What capacity will it take 2.00 or 3.00?

    The first MacBook Pro's were not released until the beginning of 2006, and they had USB 2 ports.
    Anything available new in 2005 would have been a PowerBook G4 and they also had USB 2 ports.
    A USB 3 disk will just transfer data slower then it could do, if you plug it into a USB 2 port though, so you can buy either.

    The priner is an HP LaserJet 1200 connected to the network with an HP JetDirect.

    Some of the third-party apps like "handyPrint" are able to configre the HP JetDirect to work with AirPrint.
    I am trying to work up my own solution.

  • Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

    Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
    I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now.  I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf.  At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
    This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
    I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
    So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
    Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software?  If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
    Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
    Any experience with this?  Should I leave well enough alone?  Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
    Thanks
    Steve

    The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
    I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
    If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
    Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

  • Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Can i use my mini Mbox 2 with logic pro 9 on iMac os x lion?

    Hi there,
    Did you find out anything more in regard to this?
    I have been using Pro Tools 8 with the MBox 2 connected to my iMac operating Leopard. It worked a treat for nearly four years.
    However the hardrive has just been replaced on the iMac which now has Snowleopard.  I don't want to have to update to Lion and then fork out £500 for Pro Tools 10. 
    I would be content to get Logic Pro 9 if I can attach the MBox 2 to it.
    Your advice would be appreciated

  • You can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x

    After installing all of Logic Studio (i.e. install dvd, audio content 1-3, jam packs 1-3), my laptop concludes that everything is installed successfully, however, when going to open to Logic, error icon appears and says:
    'you can't use this version of the application "logic pro" with this version of os x'

    Thank you! I found that just after I entered the question. I reinstalled everything two times, updated software, but was still having issues. But, I specifically updated the 9.1.8 (which was supposedly included in my standard software update). Guess I needed to give it some extra attention and affection.
    P.S. - Why do I feel like the more I upgrade versions of OS X, the worse off I am getting or am? Isn't it supposed to be opposite...isn't it supposed to make things better...come on, mac...where you at? mt. lion or mavericks. I'm downloading Snow Leopard to make some programs run. (um, yeah).

    Can't speak about avid, since I am not familiar with the software.
    You can certainly use FCP X on that machine. It should work better if you use a fast external drive for your media and projects.
    There is a free trial, so try it out and see how it goes. You should also follow some good video tutorials, if you are not familiar with the application. FCP X is a lot different from Avid, Premiere or even Final Cut Pro 7.
