How do I make my printer work wirelessly from my Apple Mac?

I have recently changed my router.  I have an Apple Mac and a Canon Pixma MP620 printer. I can't seem to set it up so that the printer works wirelessly. The old router is still listed on the printer so I need to change that first. Can anyone help?

If you open System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, then the Canon Printer Options and Supplies, do you have a button for Open Printer Webpage?  You should be able to do the setup of the printer, that is change the network settings, from there.

    Get an Airport Express to plug in near the printer. Connect an Ethernet or USB cable from the printer to the Airport Expres. Use Airport Utility to configure the AEX to Join an Existing Network.

  • Mac pro / Laserjet 4 / Os 10.6 - how do I make the printer work?

    Hi,
    I have a 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8 and an ancient yet still thriving HP Laserjet 4 that I was  using over an ethernet/Jetdirect connection with my G5 for years - how do I get them to talk to each other?
    I'm running the printer connection through a router, but the Mac Pro has 2 ethernet ports so I guess I can plug the printer in directly if that's simpler.  The IP of the printer is 192.168.5.40 and I've tried setting it up with the "Add a printer" dialogue but can't get it to work.
    I've read through a lot of posts and looked at a lot of Websites but I can't find step by step instructions for getting the computer to see the printer.  I have Gutenprint drivers installed if that helps.
    And - just to keep the discussiion concise:
    - I know that there are better newer printers that I could buy for cheap, but that isn't going to happen right now.
    - I know that 10.6 isn't the most recent OS
    I'm hopipng for truly step-by-step instructions that even I can understand.
    Thanks!

    So maybe it's a problem with the printer's IP?
    Yes. As far as your network is concerned, the printer is just not there.
    You will not be able to progress until you assign it an IP address accessible to your LAN. Apparently it needs to be 192.168.1.x (a 1 in the place that is now a 5), where x = a large enough number that is not likely for router to assign to other equipment.
    Your challenge is to assign the printer that IP address. Let's use the address 192.168.1.150.
    HP's support pages for that printer and its Jetdirect card say, rather unhelpfully:
    Using the front panel of printer
    The IP address may also be changed using the front panel of the HP Jetdirect device. This method of front panel configuration varies greatly depending on the model of HP printer that is being used (consult the User's Guide for the front panel instructions for a particular printer). Click here to go to the HP Web site. Use the Search and search for Front Control Panel TCP/IP Configuration .
    I did that and it didn't really get me anywhere, since there seem to be few if any references to the non- "MP" or "V" etc. variants of the original LaserJet 4. So, try to find a setting in the printer's front panel that bears any resemblance to "network settings" or "IP address".
    If you are able to navigate its front panel to a place where you can enter the IP address 192.168.1.150 be sure to press GO or ENTER or ONLINE or whatever you think might make the setting "stick" after you enter those digits. Print the same test page you did before, and ensure its IP address has really been changed. Then, then try the ping command again, with its new IP address:
    ping 192.168.1.150
    If you are unable to determine a way to use the printer's front panel to change its IP address, you should be able to use Terminal to set it. This will get a bit cumbersome so use it only if you are unable to change the printer's IP address some other way:
    Terminal is a program in your Mac's Utilities folder.
    Locate Terminal and open it. At the command prompt, type the following exactly as written (copy and paste the following to avoid errors):
    sudo arp -s 192.168.1.150 00:60:b0:91:21:e7
    ... and press Return. You will get a warning of impending disaster should you make a mistake, and requesting your Mac's Administrator password to proceed. Type your password (which will not appear as you type it) and press Return. Unless something went wrong the command prompt should immediately reappear as if nothing happened.
    Next try the ping command again:
    ping 192.168.1.150
    You should receive ping responses from the printer as in my earlier example.
    If you do, then congratulations because you have made it all the way to Step 1
    You still have to add the printer in System Preferences > Print & Fax, using this new IP address, and make sure the Gutenprint driver works.
    Edit: The reason your printer works with your old G5 running Tiger is that it is using AppleTalk for communication. AppleTalk doesn't exist in Snow Leopard. This is the reason you must use IP for communication on your Mac Pro. Your old G5 should continue to work with the printer as it always has.
    another Edit: HP's support page alleges that the Terminal command arp above will only work with JetDirect firmware versions x.08.03 and later only. Yours appears to be A.05.05, so the front panel option may be all there is. If that does not work I have one more idea but it's an even bigger pain.

  • How Can I Make My PRinter Work???

    Hey there...
    I have an HP OffceJet G55. iMac recognizes it, and when i try to prnt something, it opens the printer window, the status gets to "printing", the printer kinda "moves", but then nothing happens. Then, the document i wanted to print is marked as printed, but nothing comes out!
    Is my printer compatible with my iMac after all??? I can't understand. What can i do for my printer work?
    Thanks for the help.

    Hi fesalviano!
    Is this your printer model?
    HP Officejet G Series All-in-One
    If so, the driver on that page, should be the one you need.
    Good Luck!

  • HT3500 how do i make my printer connect to a new SSID

    I have a new wireless address, and my printer's setting is the old wireless SSID. so my printer is not connected....  how do i make the printer to connect my new SSID??

    You have a printer question, not an AirPort question. No adjustments need to be made on the AirPort if wireless is working for other devices.
    Check the documentation that came with your printer to see how to reset the device back to the original default settings it was using when it was new.
    Then, configure the printer to connect to the "new" network....just like you did when you configured it to connect to the "old" network.
    If you need more info, you need to contact support at the printer manufacturer.

  • How can I make  a "print screen" on my iMac?

    How can I make a Print Screen of my iMac? Also catching only a portion of the video?

    Hello redlion53,
    It sounds like you would like to take screenshots of either the entire screen or a portion of the screen. This article outlines how to perform this function:
    OS X: Taking pictures of your screen
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5775
    Take a picture of your entire screen
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-3. The screen shot is added to your desktop.
    Take a picture of some of your screen
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, and then drag the crosshair pointer to select the area. Hold Shift, Option, or the Space bar while you drag to resize the selection area. To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you release the mouse button.
    Take a picture of a specific window
    Press Command (⌘)-Shift-4, press the Space bar, move the camera pointer over the window to highlight it, and then click.
    This works with open Finder windows and most application windows.
    To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
    Take a picture of a menu
    Click the menu to reveal its contents, then press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and drag the crosshair pointer over the area.
    To take a picture of the menu without the title, hover over the menu, press Command (⌘)-Shift-4 and the Space bar.
    To cancel, press Escape (esc) before you click.
    Additional Information
    In Mac OS X v10.6 and later, the screenshots are saved as PNG files on the desktop. They are automatically named "Screen shot (date and time).png".
    You can also take pictures of the screen using the Grab app.
    Some apps, such as DVD Player, may not let you take pictures of their windows.
    To capture a partial screen or a window selection to the Clipboard instead of a desktop file, use Command-Shift-Control-4.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • How can I make my printer airprint compatible so I can print from my iPad air?

    How can I make my printer airprint compatible so I can print from my iPad air?

    If you have a Mac, you can usually install an application like Printopia to allow the iPad to print to your printer.
    There is a free trial, so you will know if Printopia works for you before you buy. Details here:
    Printopia - Ecamm Network
    There are other apps that do the same things, but I have not tried them, so cannot comment on them.

    Hello estebie67,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the iPhone is experiencing issues upon startup, and may not be loading the firmware or operating system correctly. If you have not already done so, try resetting the iPhone while connected to power:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If the above does not resolve your issue, it will be best to restore the iPhone in recovery mode:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I bought an Apple Airport and the light is flashing a yellow light! I did this because I live in a basement and the modem is in the first floor. I followed the instruction manual and the Airport is not working still. how can I make my Airport work?

    How can I make the Airport work?

    If there is a modem and not a router on the first floor, then the only possible way to get it to work would be an Ethernet cable connection between the modem and the AirPort Express device.
    I think you need to describe your situation in more detail.
