Fax to/from MacBook Pro, OSX 10.7.5-???

I would like to be able to send & receive faxes from my MacBook Pro and would appreciate any suggestions. ie: USB fax modems? etc.

Search ebay for the apple USB modem.
Otherwise you'll have to use an e-fax service such as fax.com

Printing from Macbook Pro OSX (version 10.8.5) to Dell 1355cn printer

Hi, I'm trying to print from my Macbook Pro OSX (version 10.8.5) to my Dell 1355cn printer but it is not working. I have downloaded/ installed the appropriate driver software from the Dell website but when I go to print, the Mac says that it is completeing the task, but nothing happens with the printer. The printer does work and all cables are fine.

Sending faxes wirelessly from macbook pro

Recently switched old printer on wireless network to new HP printer,scanner, fax combo. Everything works but the fax. When I attempt to fax a document, I get an error message stating that no fax modem is available. When I go to "print and fax" area of system preferences, the driver is present for the printer as well as the fax but there is no fax tab to allow me to view which fax modems are present. There is a Dell PC in my household on the same wireless network-- it can scan, print, and fax. Go figure. How do I get my macbook pro to send faxes over the wireless network?

grwjr,
Well, it appears you have installed the HP software OK, but you are following the wrong procedure to send a fax.
As sig said, make sure you have a phone line connected to the HP all-in-one. Then, follow these steps to fax a document:
-Open the document on on your computer.
-Select File->Print
-From the drop-down menu at the top, next to "Printer" select the fax printer.
-Click the Print button.
That's it. To use your HP all-in-one's fax function, you do not use any of your Mac's built-in fax capability. So, don't bother with any of the built-in fax commands.

Faxing Wirelessly from MacBook Pro; Yosemite 10.10.1

I have an HP OfficeJet 6700, and wirelessly fax the files from my MacBook Pro.
This morning, I was informed that I had to update the driver, which I did. Now, I cannot find the function to fax files that I have on my computer via a wireless connection with my HP OfficeJet 6700.
Before, it used to be easy. There was a fax driver for the HP, which I easily could find listed among my printers.

Hi @WilsonDad,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you recently did an update to your Mac running the Yosemite 10.10 Operating system and now you are not able to use the fax feature on your HP Officejet 6700 Premium. I would like you to go ahead and follow the steps listed below:
Scrub/ Uninstall
• Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
• Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
• * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
• Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
1. Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
5. Type the correct Name and Password.
6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
Repair Disk Permissions
1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
2.Double-click Disk Utility.
3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the printer. Now you can download and install the printer software and install it. Click on the link below to begin the download and follow the on screen instructions:

Cannot print wirelessly from MacBook Pro OSX Mavericks

I cannot get my new MacBook Pro (using OSX Mavericks) to communicate with my HP Officejet4500 Wireless. I can print when I use a connecting USB cable, but cannot print wirelessly. All of my Mac software updates are current as of 4/20/2014, which included an update for HP printers. When I used the disk to install the printer software, it did not have a screen for entering my wireless router ID or passcode. In the Mac System Preferences for Print and Scan, my Officejet 4500 G510n-z is listed, but to no avail. What do I have to do to get my Mac to print wirelessly? Thanks.

OK, thanks for that. It may indeed may be the problem, but let's check a couple of things first.
1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Print Network Test. Is the printer connected to the network? If it is not:
a. In the Network menu, Restore Defaults
b. In the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your network.
2. On your Mac, download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
3. Reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

HT3669 Can't scan from my HP Office Jet 6700 (Fax) to my MacBook Pro

Hi there, I can't scan from my HP Office Jet 6700 (Fax) to my MacBook Pro. I've tried all of the tips I've found online but when I try to 'Enable Scan to Computer' it says that there is a communication error. Anyone got any tips for me?

Hi,
Both printer and computer seem to be on same network.
Please download and run the following utility to troubleshoot on the issue.

Why can't i airdrop from my macbook pro (OSX 10.9.5) to my ipad air (IOS 8.0.2)

why can't i airdrop from my macbook pro (OSX 10.9.5) to my ipad air (IOS 8.0.2)
OR
How do I............

Wow, that's very disappointing.
I see that you can transfer between two Macs but not, as you say, between older Macs and iOS.
For others, the following is from Mac Basics: AirDrop lets you send files from your Mac to nearby Macs and iOS devices
In order to transfer files between a Mac and and an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your iOS device needs iOS 7 or later installed and your Mac needs to be a 2012 or later model. To transfer files between two Mac computers, you need one of the Mac models listed below and OS X Lion or later.
MacBook Pro (Late 2008 or newer)*
MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 or newer)*
iMac (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2009 with AirPort Extreme card, or Mid 2010)
*The MacBook Pro (17-Inch Late 2008) and the white MacBook (Late 2008) do not support AirDrop.

I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8.

I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8. After trashing the firefox.app from the Applications folder and trashing a related file in the Library folder and then reinstalling, all of my previously opened windows and tabs reappear. And the history and bookmarks are populated too! Then, the computer freezes up so that I must reboot. Because these windows automatically open and the history and bookmarks are populated with my old history and bookmarks, I believe this is not a clean install. Please help.

Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

Worse, the system appears to lock up--I can't force quit, must press the power button to shut down. This problem occurs wherever I am using my laptop, not just with one particular Wi-Fi network.

I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
Did you ever find anything more to this?

My 2011 Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.4 latest update won't connect to secured Wi-fi

2011 Macbook Pro
OSX 10.8.4 latest updates
Suddenly stopped connecting to any wireless network which is secured, WEP/WPA/WPA2/personal/enterprise all do NOT work.
Connects to unsecured networks just fine.
For example, our wireless password is:
123456890!
I tried with WPA2, no luck.
Tried with WPA2 and pw 1234567890, no luck.
Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890!, no luck.
Tried with WPA and pw 1234567890, no luck.
Tried WEP with 1234567890, no luck.
Tried with NO SECURITY on this wi-fi network, connected right away.
-I did reset PRAM, no luck.
-I deleted from Keychain, no luck.
-I added as prefered network and removed, no luck.
-I added new network location, no luck.
-I removed the Wi-fi network adapter, rebooted, activated, no luck.
-In the mac console logs, all I see are "wlEvent: en1 en1 link DOWN" when I try to connect to my secured wireless network (home or my office or even at a neighbors).
-Wireless diagnostics tell me nothing
-Console logs do not tell me anything
-Warranty is expired and no AppleCare
Seems like a bug to me, even though I have tried with a Netgear, Cisco/Linksys, D-Link router and even tried tethering to a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and iPhone 5, all same problem, says "Connection failed."
APPLE FRIENDS HELP ME PLEASE!

For example, our wireless password is: 123456890!
Well a password that weak will get cracked in about 6 hours on just about any PC in the area.
Now: LKUY*&T&67NH(*JKÎM<PijriuÎÓyhm8t, that's a real good network password, even a huge botnet would have trouble cracking that. I know because my router was PING flooded by the Flashback botnet and survived.
After OS X is reinstalled over itself to fix it, you might have to do more as it could be a "in user account" issue with a corrupted preference file, bad users permissions or another cause that's not OS X

Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.

Hi!
Didn't know exactly where to direct this question in the Apple Community so I chose Airport. To everyone, thanks in advance.
I’m really desperate. I’m a big Apple fan. I have two Apple MacBook Pro laptops with Mountain Lion software. I also have an Apple Airport Extreme. My HP Photosmart C4780 printer was also purchased from Apple. Anyway, my Internet service is AT&T. AT&T just upgraded my service with a new modem/router (AT&T U-Verse). Prior to the conversion, my wireless printer connection was working perfectly.
Now can’t print wirelessly. For your information, everything is connected via Wi-Fi. The AT&T technician stated that I no longer needed my Apple Airport Extreme, so it was removed. Naturally, after the tech leaves, we find out the HP printer wirelessly no longer works. Thinking that removing Airport Extreme may have been the problem, I reconnected it to the AT&T modem/router, however no change.
This appears to be an HP printer problem. I went to HP community support with the information below but I have received no solutions outside of buying a new printer.
“Ran the HP wireless network test report and it states that HP printer can’t find wireless router and to verify that the HP printer network name (SSID) matches the wireless router network name (SSID) exactly. The Diagnostic Summary in brief: Wireless On & Working & Security – Pass; Network Name (SSID) Found – Fail. Nothing else under diagnostic summary ran. Under Configuration Summary: It shows old SSID name and Mac Hardware Address but no IP Address.
Next ran the Network Configuration Page and everything is enabled except the 802.11 Wireless. It shows status – disconnected. Under general information it states the following: Network status - Offline; Active Connection Type - None; URL(s) for Embedded Web Server – http://0.0.0.0.”
To be straightforward, I’m no computer tech so I don’t know what this means or where to find. The AT&T tech provided me the new SSID Name and a wireless key number but that’s it. Also I uninstalled and reinstalled via USB. The HP message states can’t find router. At this point, I’ve tried everything to reconfigure without success. If I need to make these changes via Airport Extreme Utility 6.0 not easy to find not that I know what I’m doing.
Most importantly if I ever get wireless working again, do I still need Airport Extreme connection or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Any direction or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for listening.

Thank you for your prompt response. I'll be honest I'm a retiree and a newbie to all of this stuff. I don't even know how to do a thread. (Embarassing) This is my first ever contact with the Apple Community so I'm slowly trying to figure this out as well.
As to your thread request, I'm assuming you want to read my post with HP. Not knowing how to thread, I've copied it below.

Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
I finally figured it out! (Sorry that I'm replying to my own posts btw, but I want to post the solution for anybody else with the SigmaplusEOL1 problem). If you have the SigmaplusEOL1 as your SSID when you print the "Wireless Network Test Report", you do NOT need to return it (I know that's hassle for people). To fix the problem, follow these steps.
1) Unplug your printer.
2) Go to your router's IP address (like 192.168.1.1 or whatever it is for your router).
3) Change the SSID of your wirelss network to "SigmaplusEOL1".
4) For the Security option for your wireless network select none (so that a password is not required to access your wireless network).
5) Power your printer back on and reprint "Wireless Network Test Repor". It should say "No problem found..."
6) The report should also have a the IP Address of the printer (under Configuration Summary at the bottom). Type that IP Address in your browser to get to the printer's settings page.
7) Click the "Network" Tab at the top.
8) Under the "Connections" header in the left pane, click "Wireless (802.11).
9) Click "Start Wizard" at the bottom right.
10) In the wizard, change the SSID and encryption (wep or wpsk) password to whatever you want your wireless network to be. So probably whatever it started out as before you changed the SSID to SigmaplusEOL1
11) Click "Finish" at the end. The page will probably try to keep loading but it won't because you changed the network settings of the printer. Just ignore that
12) Go back to your router's IP address and change the SSID and encryption password to whatever you changed the printer's SSID and password to.
13). Reprint the Wireless Network Test Report. It should say the SSID is the same as your wireless, and everything is good.
That's it. You should be good to go now.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Thank you for your prompt response. This has been a totally frustrating experience. I’ve spent at least 8 hours trying to fix this. My HP problems and your initial steps were identical to mine. I am by no means a tech person and my computer tech knowledge is minimal. However I followed your steps to the best of my ability.
I did get the SigmaplusEOL1 message. I was able to get to Step 6 where the wireless network test report now reads – “HP printer settings do not match your wireless router settings.” So I guess this is a step in the right direction. However unfortunately the Configuration summary message for the IP Address reads – “Not Applicable”. (Note: changing SigmaplusEOL1 to network name knocked out my Internet access. Had to switch back to regular network name to regain access.)
I’m at a loss as to what to do next.   Without the IP Address is it possible to move forward? As I stated earlier, I’m not a tech person. As to your steps 7, 8 and 9, I can’t find them on my computer or maybe I’m looking in the wrong places. In System Preferences - Network, I have none of these steps. If you’re referring to Airport Utility, with the changes in Mountain Lion, these steps are no longer there. If you’re talking about Safari, Firefox or HP, now I’m really lost.
Finally, I don’t know if you can answer this or not. If I ever get wireless working, do I still need Airport Extreme or is the AT&T U-Verse modem/router sufficient?
Again thank you for your time and patience.
Re: Can't connect wirelessly HP Photosmart C4780 to MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.2 Mountain Lion.
Unfortunately I am unable to offer any further advice as I only followed the instructions listed on the other page.
Finally, as to having WEP enabled, I don't know. Don't even know where to look. The best that I could determine is that my security is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
I'm truly sorry about all of this. Thank you for your time and patience. After reading all of this and you change your mind, I would understand.

Hi - I have an older MacBook Pro (osx 10.4.11. Can I upgrade it so it will run snowleopard?

All MBPs up to and including the 2011 models can run Snow Leopard. You will have to purchase a disk from the Apple online store;

Macbook pro osx v 10.9.5 will not recognize or play netflix dvds

My macbook pro osx 10.9.5 2.4 GHZ Intel Core i5 will not longer play any netflix dads. I have even tried 2 separate external stand alone drives hooked up to my mbp via usb and 4 different movies and one will play in any source and the discs are in brand new condition. I insert the disc into the mbp drive and you hear it trying to read the dvd about 3 times, failing, then spits it out. Over and over I have tried.
What is very strange is dvd movies that I personally own will play fine no problem.
This is the first time that I tried to watch a netflix dvd in my mbp since I did an update and I do not remember when that update was done.
Do you think there is some sort of protection on the netflix dvds that could be causing this? or maybe this osx version is faulty and not able to play or recognize rental dvds?
any ideas would be much appreciated.

Have you used DVDs that have different region codes? It may be that your DVD drive is locked for a region code different from what Netflix is programmed for.
Ciao.

My HP ENVY 100 D410a is connection issues between MacBook Pro OSX 10.6

Both my Macbook Pro OSX 10.6 and my HP Envy 100 D410a is connected to my wireless nextwork. Everything was working fine until recently, my macbook does not connect, - keeps saying the printer is offline when it clearly is on and connected. I have tried to reinstall all printer software and drivers from CD and the HP site, it fails when the laptop tries to connect to the printer.
Any advice / help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Can I delete a network I created and now want gone outta the router(airport extreme)?
Sure.. a reset will surely do it.. a removal of the offending name will also do it.
Can I delete all networks by resetting the router back to factory settings?
Sure can.
I also have this UPDATE "A newer version 5.6.1 of airport utility is available" it KEEPS opening when I open my Airport Utility APP, but when I click on it to UPDATE nothing happens, ever. Im already running 7.6.3
Bit of confusion here.
Latest version of the airport utility for snow leopard is indeed 5.6.1
Open the airport utility, about .. and check what version you are running.
The very latest airport utility is 6.3 and only can be installed on Lion or Mountain Lion computers.
The firmware latest version is 7.6.3
which makes it all a bit confusing.
