Can't get my 3050 wireless printer to work. Did the very first time. I have Windows 7 Starter.

I've done all of the resets and basic trouble shooting (including resetting the printer and laptop). Does not appear to be connecting to my wireless router.

Even though this printer isn't wireless, there is a way to to use it wirelessly!
Here's what you need:
Google Chrome on whatever computer you're trying to use the printer from
a Google account so you can sign into chrome
DO THESE FIRST STEPS ON THE COMPUTER THAT THE PRINTER IS ALREADY CONNECTED TO VIA USB CABLE
okay so what you have to do is open up chrome and in the top right hand corner there is a little button looks like three stacked horizontal lines
click that and sign into google chrome (a gmail account works or create a new account)
then what you have to do is click that same button and go to settings
scroll all the way down and click advanced settings
once again, scroll all the way down until you get to Google Cloud Print
click manage and then click add printers
it will go to another screen and you should be able to search/add the hp deskjet (this may take a little patience)
once everything is connected, all that is left is to print
go to the customize and control button (that 3 horizontal lines button in the top right hand corner in crhome)
go to settings > advanced settings > cloud print > manage and click the hp deskjet
on the left hand side click print and click upload file to print
then pick whatever fille you want to print and WAHLAA! its printing (as long as ur printer is powered on of course)
this way you can print wirelessly without losing formatting like you would if you uploaded it to google docs
now you can print to this printer from any computer as long as you are signed in from chrome and the printer is on! MAGIC
hope that helps(:

Am considering buying a Time Capsule. But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection. Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule. I assume yes...?

A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

How can I get my workforce 600 printer to work wireless

Does anyone know how to get an Epson Workforce 600 printer to work wireless with 10.8.3 MacBook Air.

I know my MBP works wireless so it can be done.
I thought that was what helped me do it.
It appears not.

Can't get my deskjet 1050 printer to work as wireless

How do I to use my deskjet 1050 printer as wireless by connecting it to my router? Windows 8 64-bit. It keeps saying, I need to install the wireless connection procedure, but I can't find anything like that. My router is supposed to be able to turn any printer into a wireless.

Can you print on an iPad mini using the same wireless printer that works with my iPhone5 or do you have to a specifically AirPrint capable printer?

Printing on iPad mini compared to iphone5

If you are printing from an iPhone the printer most likely already AirPrint capable. So it should work directly.
Alternatively, if you are using an App on your iPhone to print to it. You should be able to use the same App on your iPad.

Can't get a 250 gb drive to work as the only drive

Someone please help. I have had a 36 gb raptor working on this system just fine but want to switch to use a 250 gb SATA hard drive instead. I have tried everything i can think of:
K8N-FSR motherboard
bios are up to date 1.40v
tried copying disc to disc via Western Digital utilities
everytime i try to boot it up i get the error loading OS message.
Anyone? I really am out of ideas here.

stick with it mate - you will overcome...
if you want a quicker read than the FAQs on SATAs my story is on this thread and to cut a long story short - if you have any IDEs HD in there and don't want it to be primary you need to unplug during any format or repairs. Plus whilst a SATA will slave and operate as non-active partition fine without RAID even to get a single drive to be active needs RAID enabled and the MSI drivers loaded to windows.
Let us know how you ge on - also if you go into BIOS RAID setup have you made sure you switched drive to the right....
oh and ignore the remarks about pr0n - I have 440GB HD space in my rig!

HT4437 Can't get iTunes and monitor mirroring to work at the same time.

When I turn on my airplay on itunes it turns off the airplay from my monitor. I don't know how I've done it before but I sometimes can't play itunes and have it mirror my screen at the same time so I can use the visualizer. Whenever I turn one on, the other shuts off. I've done it before. Is there a specific sequence you need to run itunes and have the mirroring work too?

Can't restore latest Time Machine backup after drive replacement- only the very first.

My 13" Macbook Pro running 10.8.5 had a bad hard drive which had to be replaced. After the new drive was put in I tried to restore everything to the new drive with Time Machine but could only restore the first backup I ever did after getting the computer, which was over a year ago. I can drag and drop files but I would rather have all my preferences and bookmarks etc. How do I restore the latest backup which was only about a week ago? Thank you.

Not yet; I'm not sure if Migration Assistant is quite right. Since I posted the question I ran across this youtube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYUem-QfYBs
which suggests that I need to start up from a bootable external disc in order to restore a Time Machine backup to the same computer that the backup came from when the drive is replaced. The video actually seems to describe my issue exactly. The only confusing thing is I don't know why I would have been able to restore the very first Time Machine backup if I need to boot from an external disc. More investigation needed.

HT4199 My macbook pro and ipad does not recognize my printer on my wireless network, but my pc does. How can I get my apple products to see it on the network so I can print wirelessly? My printer is a Brother MFC-J270W

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

Can I get my HP F4500 wireless printer to work with my Ipad?

Can I get my HP F4500 Wireless Printer to work with my Ipad....It is an IOS 4.3.2

Philip-
I don't see a 4500 HP printer on the list of AirPrint printers, so you will most likely need an alternate way to print to it.
One way is to use an iPad App such as Print n Share. It has its own browser, mail, photo and text programs that can print to some non-AirPrint printers. I don't know if it can print from within other iPad Apps.
Another way is to use a computer to share the printer as AirPrint over WiFi, using a program like Printopia for the Macintosh. For a free solution, search the web for AirPrint Activator.
I recommend you try the free iPad App, HP iPrint Photo.

How can i get my computer to print with a wireless HP envy4502 using an ATT sierra hotspot

I have a HP envy 4502 wireless printer that works find printing from my iphone. I use an ATT Sierra hotspot that is connected via usp to my computer to access the internet form it. My problem is I would like to print from my computer without having to connect the hotspot via usb and connect wireless via the hotspot. How do I connect the printer. Do i need a cable to connect it to computer or do I need a router to connect the computer to the printer wireless. I am confused as to what needs to be done so my hotspot doesnot have to be physically connected to print.

Hi kragan,
I understand you would like to print from your computer to your Envy 4502.
I can help you with this. You should be able to run the wireless wizard on the front screen of the printer and connect it to your Hotspot wirelessly. If you put your computer on the same network, both devices can communicate withe one another. HP Printers are designed to work with 802.11 WiFi networks, thus connecting to the Hotspot may not work.
This particular model does have the feature called Wireless Direct (WD). HP wireless direct is a new feature that allows your Wi-Fi capable devices (for example: smart phones, tablets, or computers) to make a wireless network connection directly to your printer without using a wireless router or access point. You connect to your printer's HP wireless direct signal the same way you connect your Wi-Fi capable device to a new wireless network or hotspot. - Source
Please use the instructions in the link I sourced to set the printer up using wireless direct. Simply open the link and click on 'How to connect to HP wireless direct'.
Once the WD is enabled, open your network settings on your computer and choose the printer network, it will look like a variation of the printer name.
If you would like clarification or have any questions I would be happy to help.

How can I get my ipad to print to my printer on the network

I can not get my Ipad to print to my network printer. The printer is an HP6500a plus officejet

You can use HP ePrint, Apple's AirPrint, or HP ePrint Home & Biz mobile app when it comes to the 6500A Plus eAIO.
Here are some articles pertaining to usage of these apps/methods of wireless printing that may help!
General how to for all methods:

Getting started with eprint:

You want to make sure your printer has the latest firmware installed to support airprint. You can find that software by navigating your control panel on the printer to updates.
Once this has been performed it should be viewable as an Airprint compatible device through the ipad.
You can also download the ePrint Home & Biz app for free from the apple catalogue and use that method as well with much the same result, as well as online management capabilities on the printer.
Hope this helps!
