Can you wirelessly connect to a printer

Is it possible to wirelessly print froma mac to a dell printer? IF so is there any extra stuff i might need and if so what would the cost be?
I'm new to macs if you couldn't tell!
Thanks!

If your dell printer has a usb cable you could use something like the airport express base station. The following is a link to it. It cost $99.00 USD.

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

HT4437 Can you only connect iPhone 4S to Apple TV via AirPlay

Can you only connect iPhone 4S to Apple TV via AirPlay

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's only the iPhone 4S and 5 that will allow mirroring, earlier models will allow basic AirPlay.

Can't establish wireless connection between the printer and computer.

I recently upgraded my wireless to an Apple AirPort Time Capsule. I'm able to set up the printer via USB cable. And I'm able to set up the printer on the network via the Airport WPA utility. However I cannot establish a wireless connection between the computer and the printer. When I go to the printers window in my system prefereces, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu. Only the USB version printer is listed and of course when I disconnect the USB cable it shows as offline.I've tried all the fixes on HP's support pages. I've tried reinstalling the printer on both the router and the computer numerous times. The only thing I haven't done is reinstall the printer using the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download). And when I reset the printer to factory settings, then connect it to the computer via the USB, there is no installation software that pops up. Cant even find the **bleep** thing in "Finder". (I'm assuming that it should show up as some sort of external device.) I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network. (sometimes my computer will grab a connection with the next nearest network.) I've checked all the settings for the printer via the HTML configuration utility. I've even updated my Macbook software and restarted it multiple times. Note: the printer actually worked for a bit when I first switched routers, but the printer's wireless function went offline several times and then quit altogether. Really frustrated that I bought another HP product thinking this time things would be different. HP is no help unless you want to pay $$ for a phone call. I'm about ready to take this thing out in the desert to use for target practice and never buy another HP product ever again.

Hi , I saw your post regarding the problems you are having with your LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer not showing on your Macintosh computer. I may have found some resources for you.
I have a few questions for you, so I can offer some additional assistance:Before you upgraded to the Apple AirPort Time Capsule, was the printer working wirelessly without any issues?
When you say; 'I reset the printer to factory settings', how where you trying to do this?
I found some instructions from this post: How do I reset my Laserjet p1102w to its defaults, copied here for you:
To restore the printer back to factory settings, turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and the cancel button (x button) then turn the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise. (When they say turn the printer off, I think they mean unplug the power cable.)
"I've checked to make sure both computer and printer are on the same network." Do you know if you are able to access the printers Embedded Web Server (EWS)?To access the EWS - Make sure that the Ready light () is on and that the printer is idle and silent.Press and hold the Cancel button (), and release it when the Ready light () begins blinking.The configuration page prints.Type the IP address or host name of the product in the address field of a supported Web browser, and then press Enter on your keyboardLet me know if this page loads
To answer a few more items you have listed:... When I go to the printers window in my system preferences, there is no wireless printer available to add in the "available printers" menu.This could be an issue with your print system, I recommend resetting the printing system and then Repair Disk Permissions - after that try to add the printer again.
... the "Install Wizard" software that is supposed to come with the printer - (mine never came with it in the first place and of course HP doesn't have it available for download)HP provides their software/drivers to Apple to be released through your Apple software updates. You can review this document on how to Install a Mac Printer Driver Using Apple Software Update. Which leads into your next point...
... there is no installation software that pops upWhen you connect the USB cable your mac may still recognize the printer software as being already installed - check for apple updatesOn the Mac, click the Apple menu (), and then click Software Update, or click About this Mac, and then click Software Update. A list of available updates displays.
... Not seeing the printer in "Finder" From what I understand most printers will not show in Finder unless you install a memory card into a supported port on certain printer models, only then will it read it like an external device. A few more things you can check are that the new settings in the Apple AirPort Time Capsule are setup to allow the printer to communicate. There are several of these settings listed in this document; Tips and Workarounds for Common Wireless Network Printer Issues. HP regularly releases firmware updates that may also correct the problem you are experiencing. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer. I did find 2 more documents that may offer some additional information as well;HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer - Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless NetworkAn 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Displays for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or the details of what happened. I look forward to hearing from you, hopefully with good news! Thanks,

1) How do I actually scan something? I am connected to the main computer (therefor scanner) but I don't how what button I click/what programme to actually use the scanner and be able to have a copy of something
2) Can I use the HP easy scan software with the ISIS sever?
Note: if there is a better way to share the connected as opposted to this ISIS server, please help
Thank you!

Hi, I don't know how you connect your printer now and what is your tablet. But as long as both are on a SAME wireless network you can use HP ePrint app to print. You can use Google Play or Apple store to install this app (free). Regards.

Lost wireless connection with Lexmark Printer

MBPro with 10.8.1. Lost my wireless connection with X6675 Lexmark printer. How do I reestablish the connection. My router is a Time Machine.

Did you solve your printer connection problem? I have the same issue. When I first turn the system on, it is connected. But after a short time (a few minutes?) it loses connection between Mac and printer, even tho both are connected to my WIFI. I have to turn the printer and and off to reconnect it to the Mac. Very frustrating. I have checked Netgear, Printer and Mac settings and can't find any explanation.

Can't stay connected to my printer when I re-enter the network

We have had many issues with the HP printers over the years, but in fairness they work very well when everything is working.
We have 2 computers in our house, both had issues reconnecting to the printers when the network went down etc... But I have fiddled around, and changed the IP address to a static IP, and now one of the computers works beautifully! It always connects, no problems printing, and it can open the printer's page when it's ip address is typed in.
However the other computer, which is the same spec and has the same HP programs, cannot detect any printer on the network! I typed in the new static IP in this computer and it couldn't detect anthing, whereas the first computer is fine!
I turned the firewall off to check if it was the problem, but unfortunately still nothing can be detected.
I am an amateur, so Im sure I must be missing something obvious!
Please help!
Alex
EDIT: Ok I have been spending countless hours again looking into what could be the issue, I have found that on the working computer the printer is connected via WSD port while on the non-working computer the printer was trying to connect through TCP/IP ports... Is this significant? If so, how to I change port type on the non working computer?
Thanks
Alex

Manual duplex times out on wireless connectivity only - D5560 printer

The printer is set for manual duplex. I use a Dell Insiron laptop (OSW7) with a wireless connection to Netgear Wireless-N 3000 Router. IP address is 192.168.1.5:3910 for the wireless printer.
The pages print on the one side and then simply stop printing on the last page just before the printer should be releasing it.
If I leave everything alone, approx 15 seconds later the page gets released and the print cancels.
If I manually tug the final page out of the printer and manually insert for the second side the page has a small area at the end unfinished. The first page of the second side may have this data printed on it.
I've reinstalled the software and all hardware has driver updates etc.
My PC is cable connected to the router and I've never had this happen. It is only on the wireless connection for the laptop.
Is there a solution?

Does the printer recover by power-cycling your switch or unplugging the LAN cable to the printer?

Getting wireless connectivity on the printer.

The printer is a HP Photosmart 6510 series. Initial set up (6 months ago) was fine and the printer connected wirelessly to the PC fine. Today something has happened and the computer cannot connect to the printer. I have deinstalled the printer and have tried reinstalling with the original disc but the when the set up asks for the IP address of the printer the process stops.

Hello staffstp.
Please, check this document to know if your printer is still connected to the router.

HT204380 When using facetime how many people can you be connected to at one given time? The reason for this question is I would like to utilize facetime for conference call meetings.

When using facetime, how many people can you be connectedto at once? The reason I ask this question is, I am wanting to conduct teleconference meetings with my staff who are spread out throughout the state and I would like to be able to have seven people in total connected to facetime at once.

Currently only one person. A lot of users want to be able to FT multiple users.
Send feedback to Apple requesting it. Maybe in a future iOS update or iPad it will be available.

Can you still connect to iTunes Store with v.7?

Like numerous others who have posted here (most without receiving responses, it would appear), I'm getting the "iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable" message and have been for a long time. I've begun to suspect that the store may no longer allow access using iTunes v.7 (I'm using 7.4) and below. Can anyone confirm this?
The latest version of iTunes will run on my computer but only with OSX 10.5 and above. I'm running OSX 10.4.11 on a G4 and need to continue to do so because of several pieces of software that I'm running, so upgrading the OS is not an option for me.

iTunes 7.x will not work with the current incarnation of the iTunes Store. I don't believe even iTunes 8 will work correctly. iTunes 9.2.1 will work, I believe, and it will run on your system:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
9.2.1 won't support all the current features of the iTunes Store, but should at least allow you to connect and purchase. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before even iTunes 9 won't work with the Store, though.
Hope this helps.
