Can't get my hp printer to print on my macbook air

I have the new MacBook Air and am trying to connect wirelessly with my HP Photosmart printer.  The printer driver is a supported driver on the new operating system, so I shouldn't have to download anything, according to HP.
I have gotten the printer to show up in the hardware area of system preferences.  When I try to connect to the printer it doesn't seem to recognize my printer (The printer utility just shows a printer with "unknown" next to all the data) and I get a "Printer is not responding" message when I try to print a document.  I followed all the installation instructions on the HP website.
This HAS to be an easy fix.  What am I doing wrong?

Greetings,
Here's a direct link to the drivers you need, they should work perfectly for your situation.

  • Newbie: How can I get the camera to work with skype on macbook air

    Sorry that I'm a beginner at this.  I just can't find the answer to it, but I'm sure it's common question.  Since the macbook air has a camera built in, how come it isn't showing up on my new skype account?

    Go into an Apple Store if under a year old from purchase. They can assist you

    Shannmo-
    The HP PhotoSmart 5514 is on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>
    One problem might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.
    I had a printing problem several months ago, where the WiFi had jumped to a neighbor's WiFi that happened to have the same name.  There are a LOT of WiFi routers out there named "Linksys"!

    Hello,
    You may only print via the HP ePrint app indeed.

  • I can't get my Mackbook Pro to print on 11 x 17 paper. Help?

    I can't get my Mackbook Pro to print on 11 x 17 paper to a wireless printer. It will print on 8.5 x 11, even when I select 11 x 17 Help?
    I am smart, smrt.

    I do have the tabloid option, but it won't print to 11 x 17. If I go into page setup in the print menu, the 11 x 17 option is "grayed out" and it can't be selected as a print option. I can go into "manage custom sizes" and put 11 x 17, and it won't work. It doesn't matter what size I select, it prints to 8.5 x 11. Stuck.

  • Can't get Canon iR-ADV C5250 printer to work on Yosemite

    Can't get Canon iR-ADV C5250 printer to work on Yosemite; keep getting "printer is not responding."
    I did try and install the driver for Mavericks first. I *have* deleted printer and appropriate /Library files. And re-installed using "UFRII_v10.06.00_Mac.dmg" which is the equivalent of what worked on the previous Macbook Air.
    We do use Dept. ID Management. I know how to set that up.  Although we do not use a PIN.  Again in other macs and computers that's not an issue.
    PAHU? :-)
    Thanks!
    David

    Hi David,
    Sorry for the late reply. Printer not responding is typically an issue with the protocol or the wrong network address. Easiest way to check that the correct IP address has been used is to enter the IPv4 address into a web browser on the Mac. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the C5250. If this does happen, then you know the IP address used to create the printer was correct.
    As for the protocol, the UFR2 driver supports LPD and HP Jetdirect-Socket. It does not support IPP. And there have been some users who have found even the LPD protocol will not communicate with the printer, so check that you are using HP Jetdirect-Socket. If you cannot remember what protocol was used when creating the queue, then you can open System Information (Applications > Utilities) and then select Printers in the left column. If you have more than one printer on this Mac, the top right pane will list them. Select the C5250 to see its information in the bottom right pane. Then look for the entry of URI. This is the print queue. It should show socket://ip-address, indicating the HP Jetdirect-Socket was used. If it shows lpd or ipp then you know one of the other protocols was used.
    Hope this helps. Reply if you need more assistance.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    If you have Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9, I afraid the printer is not compatible with your Mac and therefore the printing is black ink only:
