How can i install my hp printer when there is no cd port on my 2011 macbook air

How can I install a printer to my macbook air which has no cd port?  I have a basic hp printer.

You won't need to. As long as the computer "sees" the printer it will automatically download any needed software for it. I have one of the HP wireless printers and as soon as my Air saw it on my wirelss network it told me there was software available for it and asked if I wanted to download it which I did. No cd/DVD needed.

  • How can I install the pdf printer when Win 7 doesn't offer the choice?

    Hi,
    I have Acrobat 8.0 Pro, and in XP I used to have an Adobe pdf printer in my printer's dropdown list, so that it was possible to convert anything in any application into a pdf document.
    Now I had to change the system, and I try to install a pdf printer. The Acrobat help simply says "in devices and printers chose the pdf printer". Yes, would be easyif it were at choice. But it isn't.
    I assume there must be a driver missing. Does anybody know anything about the what and where?
    Thanks for your help.

    AA8 works on VISTA and several folks have reported it working on 32-bit Win7 (I have only heard of 2 getting it to work on the 64-bit system). Adobe does not support AA8 beyond VISTA (actually they won't give much support on AA8 for anything anymore). If you were successful in the Win7 installation and Acrobat and Distiller both open, then there is a chance you will be able to get things taken care of. As I understand it, you can open Acrobat, but the updates in the help menu do not respond. In that case go to http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows and download the updates for manual installation. If you start with the most current update, it will tell you on the download page the previous update that is required. That way you can go back through the updates and install the needed ones in order. Reboot after the last update only.

    I presume you mean that pop-ups are disabled. If you're using Safari, that setting is in the Safari Security preferences. For other web browsers, consult their documentation.

    You should be able to copy all the files from your old computer, although it might not work if the old machine didn't have an intel processor. When I got a new Mac a few months ago, I used the migration assistant to copy everything from my old computer's time machine backup disk. All my old pro apps, such as Final Cut Pro 6, work fine on the new machine under Lion.
    Later, I wanted to install Soundtrack pro and couldn't do it from the original disks. So I installed it on my old machine and copied the files. It worked perfectly.

    How can I install Microsoft Silverlight. Is there an app for this?
    Ipad does not recognise programms .dmg

    You can't. Silverlight applications won't work on iOS devices.
    .dmg files are typically Mac OS X disk image files, you can't run them on an iPad either.

  • How can I install a 2605dn printer to ny network using a windows 7 based computer?

    I have been running a 2605dn colour laser printer on my home network for some time now without trouble.  The XP computer that I used to install the printer has died and I now have a windows 7 based machine.
    The printer needs to be re-installed and the installation disk is for windows XP and 2000.
    How can I install this printer without an XP based pc?

    Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • How can i install konicaminolta ip printer

    how can i install konicaminolta ip printer

    In general,
    1) download and install the driver
    2) System preferences > Print & Fax > click the tiny PLUS Icon under the left pane to Add a Printer.
    3) all connected and "reachable" printers will be shown. If the konicaminolta is shown, choose it and proceed. If it is not shown or does not work correctly see #4 below.
    4) if not, go back to konicaminolta directions and study carefully, as they are using their own procedure to establish contact with the printer (as do some hp and others).

  • How can I set PATH environment variables when there is no ~/.profile?

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Air and just installed MySQL.
    I read the doc which I downloaded and should be able to run "mysql" from terminal as descibed below:
    Suppose that your MySQL programs are installed in /usr/local/mysql/bin and that you want to make it easy to invoke these programs. To do this, set the value of the PATH environment variable to include that directory. For example, if your shell is bash, add the following line to your .bashrc file:
               PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/mysql/bin
    I checked on my terminal with ls -al, but no ~/.bashrc also no ~/.profile files.  Echo $SHELL shows me that I am using /bin/bash as shell.
    When I run export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin  then it works and I just have to type "mysql" to get the mysql command line but as soon as I kill my terminal and open a new terminal this setting is lost.
    Any idea how I can accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    MacNewby

    Hi,
    Never mind, I found it :-)
    I just created a file  .bash_profile in my home folder and added "export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/mysql/bin" and restarted my terninal. Now it works.

  • How can I restore the firefox session when there is no previous version available?

    I had a lot of tabs opened for months now but this has happened before when I was able to restore the tab history in the profile folder in firefox with the "sessionstore.js" file and look up previous versions that were available. When I exited firefox and did a restart on my computer all of a sudden when it came back on it didnt restore the session I had previously opened. I went to the profile folder and tried to look up previous versions of that sessionstore.js file and the bak file too and it said it was no previous versions available. How can this happen all of a sudden when I exited and restarted the computer? I have Firefox set to remember the history and tab history and session restore to restore it all but yet this mess happens. Can anyone guide me into what to do for other things that can restore this session in Firefox because I know I didn't loose this for nothing and It has to be somewhere to restore all my tabs back. Any help?

    Awesome, glad you know about that Previous version trick.
    There's a catch though. It never works for me if you check for previous versions on the individual Firefox files. You have to check previous versions on the actual firefox profile folder.
    So to view the folders, navigate to where your Firefox profile folder lives: C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[random].default\
    Right-click on the [random].default folder and choose Restore previous versions. Choose a folder dated from before this accident and click the "Open" button. You should find a safely backed up sessionstore.js file there. ;) Lastly, copy the file to another safe location and copy it back into the Firefox profile.

  • How can I permantely delete photos from iPhoto in order to free up space on my MacBook Air?

    I am trying to delete photos (which I have backed up on an external drive) from my MacBook Air in order to free up storage space.  When I simply drag the photos into the trash and empty, I see no difference in the amount of storage.  I also read somewhere that they are also stored in iPhoto, so I have tried to delete them in small batches, only to return to the trash bin and find that the remaining (undeleted) ones are missing.  What's going on with this?
    I have a MacBook Air (late 2010)

    Are you aware that iPhoto has its own trash area?  Find it on the left sidebar.  Go there and empty the iPhoto trash.

  • How can you install a older printing software?

         I have had a iMac running OS X Tiger and had a HP CLJ 8500  (Color Laser Jet) that took a software disc and since Snow Leopard does not have AppleTalk anymore, is there any way I can run the software on my Macbook Pro? If not, then is there any possible way to use the iMac as a printer server via bonjour, IP, etc.?

    Check with HP to see if they have updated the printer driver to work with Snow Leopard:
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    From HP, "The latest HP printer driver for devices listed below are built into Mac OS X 10.6. You do not need to download or reinstall any HP software for full printing functionality."
    How is the printer connected to the iMac?
