How Can I connect Epson R2880 printer to iMac Lion wirelessly

Can i do this with USB Bluetooth adapter, do I need a special adapter for mac. well whae do i need . printer in next room

HellO:
I do not have an Epson printer.  However, I did look at their web site.  It "appears" that the printer has no built-in wireless connectivity.  However, I "think" you could set up a little wireless network with an Airport Express (see description on this web site).  Do some research before you spend any money.

  • How can I connect to my printer directly through ethernet?

    I have a Lexmark laserjet printer that's connected directly to my eMac's ethernet connection. I also have a third party usb wireless LAN adaptor that connects to my room mate's old airport to provide internet to me.
    I can't find a setting with my Network Preferences control panel that allows the usb device to bring in the internet while the printer is connecting to my ethernet connection. I would think that usb device would connect through TCP/IP and the printer would connect through AppleTalk via ethernet connection. But I seem to be able to only do one or the other but not both.
    I would like to find a Network setting that allows both connection to happen simultaneously.

    I do not see your printer listed here:
    About AirPrint - Apple Support
    You need to buy the right printer.
    The iPad uses a print technology called AirPrint. Airprint is a particular communication protocol that flows over WiFi.  So, having a WiiFi printer isn't sufficient. The printer needs to be of an Airprint variety of WiFi.
    which I can't connect to laptop either.
    I'd contact epson.
    Once you get the printer working, you can...

    To print from the iPad, your going to have to install some more software:
    -- install a printer app on the ipad. many printer makers have iPad applications for their printers.  Look in the app store
    -- install enabling software on a computer which you have connected the printer

  • How can i connect my IMessage into the Mountain Lion (MacBook Pro)

    I'm trying to enable receving my Imeesages in my MacBook Pro but I don't know how, Wish someone can help me.

    Open Messages from the applications folder, the Lauchpad, or your dock if it's setup there.  Go to Messages, Prefereces ..... and select accounts.  Your Apple ID should be already setup.  If it's not you can add it.  If you use more than one ID and it's the wrong one, you can delete the account from messages by going to Account Details and Sign Out.  Then, add the Apple ID you want to use.
    It appears that the syncing with iPhones is only working if you use your Apple ID email as the "Caller ID" on the iPhone and that the sync up with your phone number may not be happening until iOS 6 comes out this fall.  I'm not sure though.  I just know that mine isn't syncing with messages sent to my phone number and from other posts, it appears that other people are having the same issue.
    I hope that helps get you going.

  • How can I connect an ADC to an iMac G4 with mini-VGA port?

    I have an Apple Studio Display monitor that I want to connect to my iMac G4 that has a mini-VGA port. I have the ADC to DVI adapter, but cannot find any adapters that go from DVI to mini-VGA. Please help!
    I "inherited" these devices for work from a different university. They originally used the extra monitor with a PowerBook G4 that has a DVI port. But I would rather use it with the iMac - is it at all possible???
    Thanks!
    iMac PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1.0 GHz 768MB DDR SDRAM

    Hi,Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Depending on the age of the iMac G4 depends on what outputs are possible:
    700/800MHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port
    1.0/1.25GHz - Mini VGA port to VGA port or Mini VGA to S-Video/Composite.
    I'm not sure if the first revision of 1.0GHz iMac (Early 2003) fell in to the first category or the latter one.
    regardless... these adpators are available at theApple Store online for $19/£15. From there you'd need to find a VGA - DVI convertor and then the DVI to ADC convertor. Googling for such adaptors brings up several results.

  • How can i connect PCI Cards to my iMac ?

    Hi there,
    I wanted to buy some UAD(Plug-Ins) PCI cards for my Home Recording Studio, but as far as I know, there is no way I can expand my iMac in such a way.
    Does anybody knows a way to insert/install/integrate a PCI/PCIe card to the iMac ?
    Cheers!
    PS. MacWorld is just days appart.... hopefully they will unveil a new iMac with a new motherboard and more possibilites to expand the system

    It is not possible to add PCI cards to an iMac. If you need expansion of this type a Mac Pro would be the better choice as it has multiple slots.
    There may be some sort of breakout box that you could attach but it is going to be real slow if anything is available at all and probably not fast enough for your audio work.

  • How can I start my Kodak printer with this iPad?

    How can I connect iPad to printer? Could you please help me.

    Look on Kodak's site. They have several options with Google Docs to enable you to print. The exact capabilities vary from model to model.
    Also, you can use third party apps. I have print n share and it works just fine with my Kodak printer, but there's also printopia and print central and more I'm sure.

  • How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?

    How can I connect the ipad2 to an Epson Stylus SX445W wifi printer?
    Any help appreciated. Obviously I'm not technically minded so simple... Sorry... Very simple instructions would be great. Thanks

    Does the iPad come up with a "no AirPrint printers found" message? If so, the most common fault is that the printer isn't on the same WiFi network as the iPad. Your printer may also need a firmware update. Epson has some support information here that may be of help:

  • I have mac book pro and recently changed to Lion.  since then it will not recognise my epson r2880 printer telling me it is not connected when it plainly is with usb connection?

    I have mac book pro and recently changed to Lion.  since then it will not recognise my epson r2880 printer telling me it is not connected when it plainly is with usb connection?

    Turn off your printer.
    Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan > Printers window and delete the printer from the list, then add it back.
    Turn on your printer.
    Any difference?
    Here are some more tips from Apple Support article.

    How can I connect my iPad to an HP Photosmart c309n printer?

    You do not have an Airprint enabled printer.  See the attached link for the most current Airprint list.
    There are however, apps you can purchase, which will let you print via Wifi to your printer.  Check out either Printopia or Print Central in the App Store.  Both are about $9 and work well.

  • I accidentally deleted bonjour and cannot connect my printer, how can I connect my printer?

    I accidentally deleted my Bonjour how can I hook up my printer??  Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Since it is a preinstalled apps, you can not delete it. As Ann said, depending upon your phone and OS, you can disable it. Check in the apps drawer. If you can not find it there, go to Systems>Application Manager, then flip the top files to "all". Next flip down the list until you get to Google Play Store. Tap on it and you will see a key titled "Enable". Tap on this and it should return to normal. You probably will have to put it on a home screen, if you want to.

  • Can't add Epson R2400 printer

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.1 on a 24-inch, Early 2009 iMac.
    I have a USB-connected Epson R2400 printer.  I was having trouble in Photoshop where I couldn't get the printer settings dialog to appear.  I figured maybe the drivers needed to be re-installed after upgrading to Mountain Lion, so I deleted the printer in the System Preferences.
    Then I went to Epson's website to download the driver package and found that they no longer had it for Mountain Lion -- it says only available from Apple from inside OS X.
    Then I went to the System Preferences Print & Scan applet and tried to add the printer.  I select the R2400 from the list and it helpfully says "The selected printer software is available from Apple.  Click Add to download it and add this printer."
    When I do so, after a few minutes of it saying "Setting up 'EPSON Stylus Photo R2400...'" and "Finding software..." I get this error:
    "Can't install the software for the EPSON Stylus Photo R2400 because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
    When I look at what processes are running during the "Finding software..." phase I see PrintUITool running and it seems to fork getPPDVersion several times. After about the third time getPPDVersion runs I get the 'not currently available' error.
    In an attempt to manually force the install, I deleted the /Library/Printers/EPSON directory and manually downloaded the Epson Printer Drivers v2.11 dmg from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 and re-ran that installer.  The end result was the EPSON directory reappeared and yet, when I try to then add the printer again, I get exactly the same error as before.
    Any suggestions on how I can add my printer?
    Thank you,
    --Jim Dempsey--

    OK, I hadn't tried rebooting after re-installing the Epson Printer Driver package.  I rebooted and then I was able to add the printer.
    I don't like rebooting because I typically have dozens of active windows open and many network resources mounted and since the installer didn't tell me that I had to reboot, I didn't.
    Still, it seems like that did the trick.
