How do I make my old printer work with my MacBook Air?

I have a new MacBook Air and I can not seem to get my old HP Officejet T65 printer to work with it. It worked perfectly with my old PC but although my mac recognises the printer it does not show all of the printer options and is only printing in black and white. It is also saying that the printer is "offline" or that the printer USB is not connected when it is. I know I should probably just get a new printer but would like to use my old one in the meantime. The HP online help I could find only offered printer updates or help for windows. Any suggestions on how to make it work with my mac?

It may not make you feel any better but you would likely have the same or worse problem with a newer Windows PC computer and that printer. HP hasn't offered Windows drivers for it since Windows XP days (i.e., no support for Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8).

  • How can I make my Droid 3 work with my Macbook Air

    My Macbook is the 13.3 with 128 Flash memory... The 2011 model and I cannot get my droid 3 show up as USB media , the phone doesnt pick up the computer ? its weird... 

    Hi again,
    The games are copyrighted 2001, 2002, 2003 & 2004; I just bought them in December.
    This is a classic case of: had an old computer, the new CD-roms were too advanced & wouldn't work. So I bought a new computer, and now the games are not advanced enough!
    Although the other posted said I probably had to run them in "classic" - that's not something I should really do, right? Or is it ok to switch my OS back & forth?
    When I first realized my problem & went back to the store, they suggested I look for a patch of some sort, that would upgrade these games. Is that realistic? I went to the mattel site & the vivendi site & didn't find anything that looked useful.
    Finally, I do want to buy games for my kids. What sort of compatibility do I need to look for in the future? Is there really no way for us to use these games now?
    Thanks for your help (and patience, since it takes me so long to get back to these forums

  • How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

              How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

    You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month!  I refuse to do that.  I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do.  To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
    From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.)  It is basically a hard disk.  There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

    Check with the manufacturer of your printer.

  • So, I've taken my panasonic printer back to the shop and exchenged it for a Canon MF-4430. Alas... the generic drivers do not make it print. Is it possible to get drivers to make this canon printer work with my lovely Mac Book Pro Snow Leopard, 6.8?

    I could not find a MF-4430 at the Canon site. Are you sure the model is correct? They have a MF4450. The Mac drivers are here:

    If you are sure you have a MF4430, look around the canon site for the drivers.

  • How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)?

    How can I control my my mac mini with my macbook air (no wifi)? Also...what is the best method (less lag) for screen sharing? 
    I own a mac mini Quad Server 2.0 i7 and I use it for audio production.  It's great but I need to travel with it. I was hoping some form of screen sharing could be useful using the macbook air to control the mac mini.  Therefore, I'd be using the stronger processor of the mac mini but would still be using the keyboard and trackpad from the air. 
    My two problems: 
    1.  I can't depend on wifi to make this happen. Wifi is not always available when travleing.  What would be the best way to configure a LAN connection?
    2.  The less lag the better for screen sharing.  Which apps are fastest?
    Thanks in advance.

    Both of your devices have WiFi built in. Here is Apple Support's solution:

    As you quote the price in 'Pounds' I'm assuming you are in the UK!
    You might want to consider one of these from Amazon.  I have one on my MBA and it works well.

  • HT201335 Does air play work with my macbook Air?

    Does air play work with my macbook Air?

    Hard to say without knowing the model. You can go to About This Mac - more info to verify. It needs to be mid 2011 or later.

    Mirroring is done over the local network so internet speed isn't relevant.
    I would check istumbler.net to see if there is any interference

  • Does wireless Key board Model # A1016 work with the Macbook air?

    I have an old Apple wirless key board Model # A1016, I am trying to pair it with my Macbook air. Doesn't seem to be working, does anyone know if it is even compatible or not?

    My understanding is that the BWI uses an 802.11b wireless standard that is perfectly compatible with the built-in reception that the MBA has.
    Is there anything that would lead you to doubt the compatibility?

  • Does the Apple Snow Leopard install USB work with any macbook air?

    Hi guys and girls,
    Im changing the hard drive in my MBA 2008 A1237 from the 80GB HDD to the 64GB SSD. Ive seen a Snow Leopard install usb on ebay for £15 so ive brought it.... but I was wondering if it would actuly work with my particular Air?
    As my perivouse exspriance tells me that some install DVDs are tied to cirent products such as my iMac install dvd wont work on my Macbook.. 
    Thanks
    Firky

    The OS X Lion Thumb Drive isn't being sold by Apple, so you need Snow Leopard. Buy Snow Leopard from Apple and use the USB SuperDrive to do it. Then, open Apple menu > Software Update and install the most recent version. If you don't want to spend more money, stay in Snow Leopard, but if you want Lion, call Apple to purchase Lion > http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • I have a wired keyboard which won't work with my MacBook Air unless I use the extension cable supplied with the apple keyboard. Is this normal or have I got a connection problem?

    I Have an apple wired keyboard which suddenly won't work unless I use the apple ext cable supplied with the keyboard...used with the wire fixed into the keyboard it just won't respond.  Do u think the keyboard is faulty. ? I want to use it with my MacBook Air and a big screen.

    My best guess is that either there's a small deformation of the USB plug of your keyboard or some foreign matter (like lint) inside the keyboard plug. When I was setting up my new lab last year I had to use the extension cables and I found that the female end of the extension cable was considerably tighter than the computer's USB port. If an Apple store is nearby it would be worth taking the computer, keyboard, and extension just for piece of mind.

  • How can I make my cd-roms work with osx 10.4.9?

    We bought a new mac, but my kids cd-roms -- which we just bought in December -- don't work with it. They say they're Macintosh compatible, but I suspect they just don't work with this new system.
    Is there a driver or some other update I can download to make these games work?
    Thanks for your help -
    S.
    PS: I don't know if it matters, but the games are from Disney (Cinderella's Dollhouse and Magical Dress-Up) and Vivendi Universal (Barbie Swan Lake & Barbie Fashion Show).
