HELP!!! MacBook wont print on wireless computer

New to Macs.
I have a Lexmark X7550 wireless printer that was set up on our wireless network and works fine with three other PCs. But I can't get the MacBook to print or find it when i go through System Preferences.
But I can see the printers name on Bonjour when I look at it through Safari?
I downloaded Bonjour for one of my PCs but it couldn't find it through Bonjour.

Hey NoName,
Folder with question mark, could be a few things. RAM, HDD, among others.
The best thing to try first is, when you turn it on, try inserting the MacBook dvd that came with it. Hopefully it takes it in. After you shut it down, try starting it up again while holding the "c" key. If it starts from there, try to repair permission from the disk... it is under Disk Utility.
If you get that far, great... We might have a chance.
Also, please let us know where you are located. If you are close to an Apple Store or authorized repair facility, take it in under warranty.
Good Luck and let us know what outcome you get.

  • Connecting Macbook to printer in wireless network

    I recently got a Macbook. I have a pc downstairs that is connected to an HP officejet printer, and one upstairs connected to the same printer via the wireless network. My Macbook uses the same wireless network but I don't know how to find and connect to my home printer. It is already connected to one printer - an unopened one I will use at college. Can I connect to two? I searched via spotlight (I'm new to Macs and finding everything) and it brought me to the printer utility set up thing, but I just can't find the printer even when I tell it to add one. I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me!
    Thanks,

  • Document wont print on wireless or wired

    I have a HP Photosmart6520 e-All-in-One. I have had it for about 6 months with no problems until today I am trying to print a document and it wont print. I tried it both ways from my Dell laptop, wireless and wired this document will not print. So I used HP Print doctor and was able to print a test page twice. I am assumming it is the document but for the life of me I can't figure out why.I even turned off my firewall and tried to print again with no luck and there is nothing showing up in the Print Que. Thanks for your help in advance

  • Officejet 7210 wont print on wireless laptop

    Ok...my printer and wireless laptop read each other perfectly until I got a virus...took it in ..and after I got home with the computer, it would no longer work with the printer. Printer is plugged in through ethernet cable to wireless router.
    Running windows xp home
     by the way it works when printer and laptop are hooked up via usb
    Thank you for your help..Dave

    If you still have the driver loaded you can add it manually: 
    First, verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address.
    1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
    4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
    5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
    6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
    7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
    8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
    9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
    10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
    11. Click "Next"
    12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

  • Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

    I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

    Hi topgunner,
    How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

  • Printer wont print from the computer

    I can use my printer as a scanner and print documents,
    however it doesnt print anything from my computer system

    There are many possible reasons.  Please read this post then provide some details.  What printer model? What operating system? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth? Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?

  • Help document wont print

    Hello Hope someone can shed some light as I am so frustrated. When I open a pdf file with adobe and try and print the document.. i keep getting the error message DOCUMENT COULD NOT BE PRINTED.. THERE WERE NO PAGES SELECTED TO PRINT..
    Yes there were pages selected to print.  I can't figure this one out.. help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Gabriella

    Are you printing that to Physical Printer? It seems like a driver issue. Try this:
    File->Print->Select you printer-> Click Advanced->Check Print as Image check box. Click on OK and then try. If it works then update the printer's PostScript driver.

  • Please Help MacBook Wont boot

    Hi
    My sons MacBook (one year and one week old) will not boot up. The fans are full on and the folder icon with question mark is flashing. I have tried starting from disc but everytime the disc is ejected and the screen shows flashing folder and question mark. I have tried to access the hard drive in target disc mode but this does not work. I have tried resetting the pram etc.
    Any suggestions gratfully received

    Let me see if I have what you are saying straight:
    1) When you start up the computer with no changes, it gives you a flashing "?" icon.
    2) You are unable to boot the computer into FireWire target disk mode.
    3) Booting with the install disk in and holding down the C key you still get the same result.
    At this point it is quite plain that there is a hardware failure. Is everything in the computer original equipment? or have you added RAM or changed out the hard drive? If the latter, does it change if you put the original stuff back in?
    Assuming that the problem remains with your stock computer, call Apple (800-275-2273 in the USA) or go to an Apple retail store to arrange a repair.
    Best of luck.

  • My printer wont print because I can't find the right password on (re)set-up. What should I do?

    I"m running windows 8 (I think) and my printer wont print from my computer on the wireless function.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software and updatuing but none of this seems to help.  What should I do now.

    Hi @mfk8 
    I am not sure I understand, what password are you looking for? Is the printer still on the wireless network? Perhaps the following document will be helpful; 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Look for cloud solutions such as DropBox, OneDrive, SugarSync or others. They are all cloud based services that sync documents between computers via the cloud. Of course another solution is simply a flash drive formatted in exFat so that Macs and Windows computers can read it.

  • MacBook won't print from shared printer on Windows computer

    I've been trying all day to get my MacBook to print through my wireless workgroup network. I've found detailed instructions here http://macs.about.com/od/macwindows/ss/sharewinprttig.htm. I have a Canon Pixma MX330 Printer hooked up to my Windows XP Computer. The PC is hooked up to a cable modem and wireless router which I have been successfully able to use for internet for the past 3 years. I have a white MacBook with OS X 10.4.11.
    I have completed all the instructions at the website stated above without any problems. The problem is that when I try printing something, nothing actually prints. My MacBook acknowledges that there is a printing in progress, the job is sent to my PC which signals that there is active data transport throughout the workgroup, AND my printer lights up. BUT the Printer utility on my Mac says the job is completed before anything actually prints. My printer doesn't signal any errors and neither does the PC. It seems as though the job has been completely lost in cyberspace.
    Its been a hassle to print something from my computer for the past 3 years (my old printer wasn't compatible with Macintosh and I just got a new one), having to email it to myself then open it up from the PC to print and today I've decided to put all my effort into solving this problem.
    I'd greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Hello Sarah897 and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    When you have a Windows computer sharing its USB connection, you cannot use the drivers supplied by some vendors, and Canon is one of those. This is due to the Canon driver software for Mac OS X only being written to work with a direct USB connection. It will not work when shared by a Windows computer. (This is step 13 on page 4/5 of the link you posted. Also, this step is not entirely correct - or up to date - GimpPrint is long be renamed to Gutenprint)
    So you will need to look at using a CUPS-based driver, such as those offered by Gutenprint. And in most cases the Gutenprint driver will work fine, providing your printer model is supported. And that could also be your issue here if you using a Gutenprint driver already. Looking through the list of supported printers with the latest version of Gutenprint, the MX330 is not listed. So you would have to look at using a different model of Canon driver within the Gutenprint list to see if you can get the printing to work - but this could take a lot of time and use a lot of paper and ink.
    I would actually you look at purchasing an Airport Express. With this connected to your wireless network, you could connect the MX330 to the Express's USB port and then use the Canon provided OS X driver - no need to find a compatible driver while the good folks at Gutenprint get around to supporting this new model. The other benefit of having the Express is that you don't need the XP computer to be turned on in order to print from the Mac.

  • My officejet 4500 g510n-z wont print faxes or from copy or scan. It prints perfect from computer.

    my officejet 4500g510n-z suddenly wont print incoming faxes, or from copy or scan. It prints perfectly from computer. it also wont print fax reports or test pages. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing with software disc, still no go.what do i need to do please?

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP.  Let's us 192.168.1.100 for your printer.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Wireless Computer, Wireless Router, Wireless Print Server

    I am having difficulty with a specific configuration trying to print wirelessly.
    I have no problem printing from my iBook G4, Power Mac Dual G4 750, Dell Notebook, or Compaq Presario Desktop using this configuration: Linksys Wireless-G router and Linksys Wireless-G Print Server.
    As long as the Print Server is connected to the Router via an ethernet cable, the network works fine - I can print from any computer.
    The problem I am encountering comes from the fact that I now want to use the Print Server with another printer that is a seperate room from the router (I don't want to connect it with an ethernet cable). This shouldn't be a problem since it's a wireless print server.
    I had always used a static IP to access and configure the router, but now that I have removed the ethernet connection I can't log in. In fact, when it is plugged into a different port on the router (via ethernet) I can't log into it either. When I reconnect it the original way, it is not problem.
    Running the original install software on my PCs doesn't help either.
    How can I make this work?
    Can my wireless computers (e.g. iBook with Airport Extreme wireless card) talk directly to the Print Server, or does it talk to the Print Server via the wireless router?
    I don't have an Airport base.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I do not think I can help you with your question however I have the same router and print server and I too have never been able to get the print server to work wirelessly. It's a real kick in the head too because the linksys tech nubs just talk you around in a circle saying that the deivce is wireless but that you have to use the wire. I don't know maybe its me...
    Nonetheless I now have a mac laptop that works the the router but I can not get the powerbook to connect the the print server. I would be interested to know how you go your mac to work with you first printer.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 wireless wont print with iPhone 5s

    This printer billed as Wireless that I purchased in 2011 wont print with IPhone or iPad because it is not on list of Air Print devices So I was told by HP to buy a new one and since it wasnt equipped with HP's "eprint" the app thats out there to make up for this will not work. I was speaking to sales person to avoid paying but I cant believe this. There are better printers but that doesnt make this a throw away. and who wants to buy a wireless printer that wont print wirelessly? Help!
    This question was solved.

    Hi there Hank,
    Sorry to hear you're having a rough go with the printer.
    As for the 8000 wireless, I would guess that you got a newbie tech rep on the phone. I couldn't figure out why they said there's no workaround, because I had been able to get older printers going with HP troubleshooting documents. So here are a few that might help:
    1. Install the printer on your network (if it isn't already) Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection
    2. Download the HP E-Print Mobile App for iOS. It should still work with non- eprint printers: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/hp-eprint/id299531​647?mt=8
    3. Take a glance at this tutorial video, for some quick tips on getting started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1z1pSC8WHI
    Hope this helps
