Can't Add Wireless Printer to Laptop

I am trying to add a HP Officejet Pro x576dw MFP to my HP Probook 4530s . Laptop runs Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
When I use the add printer feature, the printer shows up. I select it, then hit next. The next step is to install the print drivers. BUT, my printer isn't listed. I have updated the list, but it still isn't on the list.
How do I add my printer?

With most multi-function devices, you need to run the printer manufacturer's setup/configuring program first. That will either "Add" the printer directly, or make it discoverable in the "Add-a-Printer" window. Look around, you probably downloaded that program when you downloaded the Driver.

Read another post in the forum about this and it appears this app also installs a profile with a proxy service that you will have to try and delete as well. Check that out.

I’m trying to follow HP’s instructions to add a driver for HP Color Laserjet CP 1215 which is connected to my Time Capsule. However, in System Preferences I can’t “add” the printer to the print queue because I don’t have a driver and you have to select a driver before the add button becomes active. Therefore, the Mountain Lion software update doesn’t add driver software for the CP 1215 driver because I was unable to add the printer to the print queue.

This printer doesn't seem to be supported in ML:

You could try the 1515 driver or use the Generic PostScript Printer PPD when adding the printer.
Hope this helps.

How can I get wireless printing with my ipad?

Best way is to use an AirPrint compatible printer:

If your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you might want to take a look at Printopia.

Remove the toner cartridge and gently shake it from side to side while holding it level (in the position it is in while in the printer). Re-insert the cartridge, restart (power cycle) the printer. Then restart the Mac and test.

How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

These devices would be added the same way that any other wireless device is added as a client to a network......
1) Scan to select the network
2) Enter the wireless network password
Keep in mind that DirecTV cannot connect to a wireless network if there are special characters.....like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc......in the wireless network name.
So if your wireless network is named something like Ernestomelia's Wireless Network, DirecTV will not be able to to connect. Instead, the network should read something like ernestomelia network. A shorter name with no spaces would be better.
Your printer might have similar requirements, but you did not provide the make or model number of the device....so we don't have much to go on here. In general, you would want to contact support at the printer manufacturer for more specific information.

Why does the software update say that drivers for my printers are not available? I have the drivers installed from the CD but can't add the printer because it wants to go through software update.

It's pretty difficult to offer suggestions when you say nothing about your Mac, the version of Mac OS it's running, or the models of printers you have. This forum, however, is intended for questions about old, pre-G3 hardware, so unless you are asking about an very old Mac, this is not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with your problem. I'd suggest you ask this question in the forum for your model of Mac or version of Mac OS X it's running. You'll be more likely to get assistance there, assuming you provide sufficient detail for anyone to make a diagnosis of the problem.

Cannot add wireless printer - can't get past "Add Printer"

Months ago I set up my Photosmart C4700 printer with my home wifi and MacBook Pro according to the HP instructions. All saw each other fine, the computer recognized the printer. But printing was terrible. Long hangs, half sheets, jobs queued for hours then later spat out in the middle of the night. All this has been reported elsewhere.
This morning I uninstalled all the HP software, upgraded to OSX 10.6.7 using Software Update and attempted to re-add the printer without using any of the HP code. Given the printer itself was previously set up to be on my wireless LAN, I attempted to add the printer from the MacBook over wifi without relying on the USB cable.
The add printer dialogue lists the Photosmart C4700 as a "Bonjour" printer (good). But when I select it and click "Add", I *very* briefly see a dropdown dialog entitled "Determining Discoverable Options" which disappears in less than half a second. I'm left back at the Add Printer screen. I can repeat this over and over with exactly the same result.
Any input on how to proceed would be most appreciated!

Add wireless printer to my wireless laptop

I have spend many hours trying to add my wireless printer to my laptop. My laptop is wireless and is running on Linksys Router. I have a new HP Photosmart Premium C309a series. I did a wireless Network Test Report, the report states. Your wireless network is currently using the manufacturer's default network name SSID. It is recommended to change your network name (SSID) to be unique to avoid connecting to wireless network I've been trying to solve this problem and was able to at least see the document to be printed....but just want print. Will someone please help? My wife and I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you, Bill

I changed my SSID on the printer and ran a wireless network test report. Its say HP printer cannot find your wireless router. Check that your wireless router is powered on ......"which" it was. Check that your HP printer network name (SSID) matches your wireless router network name (SSID) exactly. If the don't match exactly, run the wireless network setup to configure your HP printer. Network name (SSID) FAILED
How do I run a network router network name (SSID) to see if the names matches. When I changed the SSID name on the printer setup wizard, shouldn't name change be under the Select Network (SSID) category? If so its not showing the name change. I would like to thank you for your reply, It is obvious I'm doing something wrong try to get the names to match. Will you please tell me where I go from here?

Can't find wireless printer with E2000 router

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (running Vista Home Premium) that connects to my Linksys E2000 and to a wireless printer, the Canon MX870. It's been working for months without problems.
I just got a Toshiba Satellite P770-BT4G22 Laptop (running Window 7 Professional 64 bit) and installed the Cisco Connect software following the instructions where you have already set up the router and just need to install the software to do things like add a device. I can connect to the router fine using a web browser or the Cisco Connect Software and my Toshiba connects to the Internet through the router without problems.
The problem is Cisco Connect says it can't find a wireless printer when I run it on my new Toshiba. I've put the printer within 3 feet of the router with my Toshiba in between but still it can't find it. My Dell in another room connects to the printer no problem. And I can print to the Canon if I select the Shared Canon Printer ( on the Dell) using the Toshiba's Control Panel Add Printer function. But obviously that means the Dell has to be on so that's not good for much more than troubleshooting. I've also wired a connection from the printer to the Toshiba and downloaded the latest driver, printed that way so I know that's not the problem. The problem is that Cisco Connect can't find the printer. It says there are 6 devices attached to my router so it's seeing something, but I guess not the printer. I've turned any firewalls off for this testing too.
I'm stumped as to why it can't find the printer when the Dell did and they are all on the same network. Unless it's not compatible with 64 bit Windows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Solved!

I have already added the printer to my network using Windows Add Printer prior to assigning the printer a static IP. But I followed your instructions in making the IP static so if I reset the router I don't have to go through the process again.
When I ran CC and told it to add a printer, it did not identify any printer for me, it went from the screen where you say to add a printer to one where it asked me to name the printer. Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was referring to the Canon because I'd already added it using Windows, albeit without a static IP, just by knowing what IP it had been assigned. After I gave it the name, it went back to the "home" screen with computers & devices, parental controls, etc. No errors, but no real way to see or change what I had done.
That's why I was asking if there's a way to look at the router and view devices that have a static IP. I can view the DHCP table but it's not there of course. I don't really see anywhere using the router software (either by web connection or CC) where the Canon printer is listed. I see it in Windows Printers, but I saw it there before I reran CC and it asked me to name it.
I appreciate your help and I'm glad to be up and running with it. Especially with having a static IP. I'm just trying to better understand what happened and how to view my devices connected to the router.
Thank you very much for your help.

Can't do wireless printing using my macbook

hello all!
i need a little bit of help here as i'm new to wireless printing.
i bought a new wireless-N router from Aztech model GR7000, it has two USB ports and allows files sharing and printer sharing. I have connect my Canon MP258 (a normal non-wireless All-in-One printer) to the router and i have successfully set up my desktop and my brother's laptop (both running windows vista) to print wirelessly. I have also set up my bootcamp (windows7) on this macbook pro i'm using to print wirelessly successfully. However, the problem comes when i wish to set up my macbook (OS X 10.6.6) to connect to this printer. The following are the steps i did to add this printer:
Added under IP
Protocol: Internet Printing Protocol
Address: my router's IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x)
Queue: left blank
Name: my router's IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x)
Location: left blank
Print Using: Auto Select and it sets it as Generic PostScript Printer
after which i went to the Print & Fax page to change the settings using Options & Supplies, i changed the driver of the printer to Canon MP250 series. I set this printer as my default printer and there is a green idle light below my printer name. I assumed this means my macbook has successfully registered my printer and detected it as online. However, when i go on with printing, nothing happens and the job queue will show my document is printing but will never be done printing. Anyone can please provide me some advices? I am lost. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
When you have the Canon AIO connected to the USB port of a wireless router/print server you cannot use the Canon provided drivers (or use Generic Postscript as you have done so far). Normally for this type of connection you need to use a CUPS driver, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab.
Gutenprint is preferred because it is free however your new MP258 is not listed as a supported model. So you could try using a different model of Gutenprint/Canon driver, such as the MP160, but you could waste a lot of ink, paper and time trying to find a good match.
So your other option is [PrintFab|www.printfab.net] which supports more recent models of Canon inkjets and costs €49. Your MP258 is not listed on PrintFab either, but your model could be region based (we have a similar thing in Australia with the MP495) and therefore may work with the MP250 or MP260.
Another option would be to replace the Aztech with an Airport Express or Extreme. Airport devices do allow you to use the Canon supplied drivers.

I can no longer wireless print from my mac using my Lexmark X4550 printer

I have read all the previous forums from like a year ago about the troubles that Leopard brought to Lexmark printers, some helped a lot, although I would really like to use my wireless capabilities. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling like 15 times and I decided to post a thread here to hopefully get this resolved. I get as far as installing the printer driver but then when I go to install the printer into my print&fax under system preferences it does not allow me to add the printer... It just does not show up under my printer options. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED, Thank you.
P.S.
I can print using USB cable but would really like to print wireless. I was able to print wireless before I installed Leopard and have tried talking to Lexmark but no help.

Can't see wireless printer

I upgraded to OSX and My HP 2600N could no longer be seen on my wireless network. This resolved it after much trial and error.
How to setup HP Color Laserjet 2600n over wireless network with Mac OSX 10.8
Download HP Color Laserjet driver from Apple Support Page http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907?viewlocale=en US
Install the driver. 3. Reboot the Mac
Open the Apple Icon and hit System Preferences... Select "Print & Scan" under hardware section
Hit the + sign to add a new printer
Select the IP option
Select the HP Jetdirect - Socket protocol
Enter the IP Address for the wireless printer [can be found on the control penal of wireless printer, using reports function)Mine is 10.0.0.7
Under the "Use:" list it will most likely default to Generic PostScript Printer
DO NOT USE THIS
INSTEAD, open the list and scroll down to "Select Printer Software...'
From the list of printers scroll down and select
"HP Color Laserjet 2600,1.3.0.261"
Hit the Add button and you should be good to go.

Perhaps the router or whatever the printer is connected to needs a wake up.
