Can't get my hp printer to work wireless with my iMac

I am so computer illiterate, it's not funny. I am really getting frustrated with trying to get my new HP Photosart all-in-one c7820 to work with my new iMac. This computer is awesome, but I am so used to pc's because that's all I have ever known. I connected the new iMac sucessfully to our wireless modem in the house, and connected the printer to the same wireless connection. They both say they are connected and working, but nothing will print. I DID get a message "The application HP Printer Utility quit unexpetedly" duting the installation but it didn't seem to matter, it said it was "installed successfully" When I try to print something, it seems like it's going to work, but it says stopped,and I can't get it to work.
I think I am missing something with the wireless info or something.
Anyone have any ideas? (In lamemans terms please)
thanks,
U

Hi Ursula M-
Actually I find that opening statement very funny! Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards
Have you tried going to the HP website and downloading and installing the latest driver for that printer?

  • Can't get my Satellite Pro to work wirelessly with internet

    I have a Satellite Pro L20- which has wireless network adaptor. Have bought a BT Voyager 2110 Wireless ADSL router. Have plugged router to my Broadband. Have used Toshiba config to find router on my laptop - looks like I then have to drag the laptop icon onto the router but it says I can't do that as the router is being used by another owner?
    Should I be doing anyting else - the Inter adaptor card in my laptop says enabled - the router is plugged in - but nothing works.
    Please help but am pretty useless on these things so keep it clear
    Thanks

    Hi
    Please be sure that your WLAN card is activated properly. You can check it using FN+F8 key combination or using preinstalled ConfigFree tool. If you are sure that card is activated properly use also Search for wireless devices option (ConfigFree).
    Every available WLAN network will be shown there.
    I also recommend you to use standard Windows settings for WLAN. Go into WLAN network properties and activate option Use windows to configure my .. After that click on View Wireless networks. All available WLAN will be listed and you can try to connect it. If the WLAN is encrypted be sure that you use the right password.
    Bye

  • Can anyone recommend a printer that works well with the IMAC?

    I am new to the Mac world and bought an IMAC with Iphoto08. My main reason was for printing photos and using the great graphics of an IMAC. But, I have no printer as of yet because I don't know which printer would work best with the IMAC. Please helppppppp

    Nikki,
    click on this Epson link:
    http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/consumer/consDetail.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oi d=63059194
    The 88+ is a very good inexpensive printer ..... it is temporarily "out of stock", but press the "Notify Me" button on the web page. You will also need a printer cable sold separately, but which Epson lists when you are able to order the printer.
    Also check their ink jet photo-type print papers. (I do not work for Epson .... but I've used their products for years and never had any problems). I know of two instances where the printers were duds, but Customer Service replaced them without a hassle.

  • Can't get canon LPB6300 printer to work on a second machine

    Hi
    The printer I will refer to is reachable in my local network over ethernet and has a fixed IP address.
    I got cups to work with my canon printer this afternoon on one of my machines. I searched the whole internet for howtos and I think the steps that finally got the thing working were the following:
    1. Install capt-src from aur
    2. Add myself to the lp group and relogin
    3. Connect the printer and restart cups
    3. Perform the following two commands:
    sudo lpadmin -p LBP6300 -m CNCUPSLBP6300CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E
    sudo ccpdadmin -p LBP6300 -o net:192.168.1.2
    and the result is:
    sudo ccpdadmin -P
    CUPS_ConfigPath = /etc/cups/
    LOG Path = None
    UI Port = 59787
    Entry Num : Spooler : Backend : FIFO path : Device Path : Status
    [0] : LBP6300 : ccp : //localhost:59687 : net:192.168.1.2 :
    4. Start ccpd daemon
    These steps worked on one of my machines. I thought I could perform the same steps on another machine to get it to work but until now I had no success. I tried to print a test page but cups immediately changed the new job to "completed" without printing something out.
    The packages installed on the archlinux systems are the same, at least the one i checked (-Qs cups, foomatic, dependencies from aur for capt-src).
    yaourt -Qs capt
    local/capt-src 2.50-9

    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Canon_LBP2900
    I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.. Can anyone help?
    Cheers

    Thanks for your link but i don't think it has something to do with relinking libraries since i never had to to that on my first machine. I'm currently pursuing a different approach: I'm comparing the files used by ccpd and cups on both machines with each other. These are the results:
    On the machine with working capt service:
    http://pastebin.com/Fyif7zxz
    http://pastebin.com/n0KQj14z
    On the machine with defect capt service:
    http://pastebin.com/rtUW5Gfm
    http://pastebin.com/vh94E3Jv
    One thing that i noticed is the two libraries resolv and nss which are used on the defect machine. Could it be that?

  • How to set up LPD printer properly? I just upgraded to Snow Leopard from 10.4.  I can not get my laser printer to work.

    OK, here is what I have found.  Since the printer is on an ethernet network it can not be seen since there is no more apple talk.  I must set it up as a LPD printer.  Xante tech support has told me how to do this but they are baffled by the fact that it will not print.  I am using a Linksys wireless/broadband router.
    These are my numbers:
    IP 192.168.1.110
    subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.188.1.1
    DNS Server" 66.103.237.2.66.103.251.130
    Xante has suggested using 192.168.1.112 and the printer is found and the print queue is opened and the following message is in the print queue window: Network host '192.168.1.112' is busy; will retry in 10 seconds...  Nothing ever prints.
    On this list I have seen a successful connection in the past through an airport connection.  I think that the number that Xante has suggested is not correct.
    I am able to print to this printer through another computer on the network that has not been upgraded to Leopard.
    Any thoughts?  Thanks

    The best answer to this question requires a little more digging.
    More specifically, what spare inputs do you have on the TV, and what video card are you currently driving.
    IMHO S-Video is going to give you about a poor a picture as you can get, mostly because of the limited bandwidth and the fact it's based around standard resolution TV (e.g. NTSC signaling).
    The best experience would be via HDMI, but for that you'd need a video card with a DVI interface, plus a DVI -> HDMI cable. If you don't have a DVI-based video card and you're OK spending a few dollars that would be your best bet, although off hand I don't know specifically which card you'd need - most of the modern cards are PCI-X or PCIe and won't work in the G4.
    If you don't want to replace the card then you'll need to let us know what kind of video card you have in it so that we can find the best match.

  • Can't get 4GB RAM Upgrade to work in 2.8GHz iMac

    I bought two 2GB RAM Modules @ Frys to replace the 1GB in my 2.8GHz iMac 24". It was a Mac Refurb bought from their store. When I put in both 2GB, it won't boot up. It will boot up with one 1 and one 2, for a total of 3GB. Both are running @ 667 MHz, however the 2GB is a Crucial and they say I should run part # CT817145. http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=39D3BF46A5CA7304
    What I got from Frys is part # CT25664AC800. http://www.crucial.com/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=F4042F1EA5CA7304
    Crucials site shows the specs to be the same at first glance.
    I swapped slots all around and still no dice, it won't start with both 2GB's.
    So why is it booting from 3GB and not 4GB?
    Can anyone be of help besides taking both back and getting the part number Crucial says, even though the specs appear to be similar.
    Thank you so much!

    Hello cwinkler
    Use this first article to identify exactly which iMac model you have:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1463?viewlocale=en_US
    The following article's are the iMac Spec's for the mid 2007 and Early 2008.
    http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacMid2007.html
    http://support.apple.com/specs/imac/iMacEarly2008.html
    To me it's sounds like you have a Mid 2007 2.8GHz that uses PC2-5300 667GHz, only the Early 2008 models use PC2-6400 800MHz ram.

  • M1212nf printer wont work wireless with Windows 10

    I installed Windows 10 two days ago to my computer as well as two others in the house.We were all using a wireless network.I now have to use the printer through the USB port on my computer only. The wireless feature does not function.When I try to update I am only able to find drivers for a 1210 series system. The driver is rejected and I am told it is not compatible with my printer.How do I restore the connection without going back to Windows 8.1? Is there a separate update for this product based on Windows 10?How do i solve this problem?

    Hi , I read your post and see that you need the drivers for Windows 10. I would be happy to help you.
    This model has a USB and Ethernet connection only. I have provided a link to the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver. The Windows 8.1 and the Windows 10 are the same drivers and can be used for both operating systems.Please note : If your device had full support (not just basic print or scan) in Windows 7 or 8 then your device is supported, but may not immediately show up on hp.com for Windows 10: Please download the Windows 8.1 drivers and use those (they have been tested and worked with Windows10) If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • How can I get Apple to replace my rev a with isight imac?

    I'm on my second major repair of my Imac rev a in less than a year. So many horror stories here. How hard is it to get Apple to replace my computer with one that one break down all the time? Any advice would be helpful.
    Roxie

    I am currently trying my hardest to get a replacement machine. I have had several repairs on my iMac, (6 trips to the apple store!!) but they have told me that my repairs were not major enough to warrant a new machine. I am sending letters and documentation to as many people in customer relations as possible.
    Right now my computer is getting repaired. Again.
    Good luck.

  • I need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?  i use OS X

    i need to use an hp 6215 printer with my mac book pro.  the driver installation disk doesn't work.  where can i get a driver that will work?

    With the Lion it is essentially unnecessary to resort to external driver disks. What's more, most of those disks are incompatible with the OS and should not be used. The system already carries a wide variety of printer description files (aka PPDs, which is what modern printing systems use as "drivers") for a lot of brands. And there was an HP printer update just two days ago.
    Just checked in mine and did indeed find that the HP OfficeJet 6200 Series, with or without Fax, is covered with the latest update.
    So just go thru the motions of creating a proper printer instance:
    Make sure the Mac "sees" the printer on the network.
    System Preferences / Print & Scan
    Click on the + button on the left column
    Select the appropriate type of printer, will use IP for the rest of this
    Select HP Jetdirect - Socket, default for HP network printers
    Type the IP address or look it up
    Name the printer for easy identification on the print dialog
    Let the Mac identify the printer model or manually choose the driver
    Click Add.
    Once the instance pops up in the list, can click on Options & Supplies for further config.

    I have a Mac Air with 10.10 .  Just purchased a HP Laserjet Pro M201dw printer.  I can not get the duplex printing to work in Word or Pages.  It does work for PDF files in Acrobat Pro.  It won't for emails.  In Pages I see two- sided but it is dimmed.  I look at setups and it shows two -sided is off but can't find a way to change this setting.  In the printer setting itself, the duplex box is checked.  Need help.  Did notice the driver only goes up to 10.9 but it says on Apple site of supported printers this one is listed.
    Appreciate help in solving this issue.
    Thanks in advance for anyone willing to give me some time and assistance.

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

    I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.

    Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
    Reset the printing system:
