How do I network PowerBook & iBook w/new Printer?

I am considering purchasing a new HP printer that has 'networking' capabilities. I have no idea exactly how to 'network' my iBook and Powerbook with this printer, but I would love to find out. I am assuming that I need an ethernet cable and a 'router'. Can anyone be more specific with this information. I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you, shineylewis

You are exactly right. A router and 3 ethernet cables are what you need. Get a 10/100 router (Linksys, D-Link, etc.) with more than three ports. Connect an ethernet cable from the iBook to a port on the router, the PowerBook to the router, and the HP printer to the router. Set the router as a DHCP server and turn on the printer and computers. Configure the laptops to use DHCP and you should be networked.

It can be tricky I can't explain it clearly. But go to the mac help at top of your screen and enter windows printing in the search box and try this first.
It took me a while to get it working because of firewall problems.
sorry can't tell more

How to get past 6700 not recognizing new print heads.

Ok, so I bought a new printer that came with setup cartridges. I wanted one with network capabilites so I took it back to the store and got a new hp 6700 all in one. But when I took the other one back I forgot to include the start upcartridges in the box I took back. So this gave me two sets of start up ink. Once my first set ran out I tried to put the other set in and I got the message Cartridge problem'.
I have gone thru all the troubleshooting steps and it still won't clear. I even went so far as to buy additional brand new cartiridges. So i have now two sets of new ink sets.
I know it is due to me trying to put in the other set of startup ink. But how do I clear the message and get it to work>? I have only printed 300 sheets out of this thing and now I can't use it. And now I am out of warrenty! When I haven't used it but for 2 months. Help I am so frustrated am ready to throw this perfectly good printer in the trash! Bad product configuration not being allowed to use any HP ink that is for use for the same printer!

Hi,
Please ensure you insert a full set of Non-Setup cartridges, inserting a Non-used startup cartridge to a printer which was already initialized may cause such an error.
Any startup ink is labled with the "Setup" label, ensure all the 4 cartridges in the printer does not labled as a setup cartridge, then turn the pritner off and back on.
If you still see any issue, please clarify the exact error message as listed on teh pritner screen, including any cartridge mark which may appear (it should list a specific color icon).

How do assign mutiple client Macs my new Printer List? What do I copy over?

The only thing that changed is our IP addresses. We moved. Same Printers & Same Macs, just new IP addresses. I want ARD to delete every clients printer list and apply my new Printer List that I created on my Admin ARD Mac. All my printers were 'Printer Browser' created under the IP Printer tab, using protocol LPD. I really don't want to login to each client Mac and do each one individually. What do I copy from local to my 46 clients?? Desparate :-P

There is a document that talks about how you can configure printers with Apple Remote Desktop. It is based on older versions of Apple Remote Desktop, but the concepts, I'm told (I've not done this) still hold true:

Hello Fruhulda
Clicking a Pages table don't give the same result than clicking somewhere in the table then pressing cmd + a.
The first scheme selects the table (height square handles displayed)
The second one select every cells (no handle displayed).
If we try to fill cells with a color in case 1, only standard cells are filled.
If we try to do the same in case 2, every cells (headers included) will receive the color.

How to transfer from Old ibook to new ML iMac

Hello, looking for some help with an installation problem.
     I'm in the process of trying to [help my daughter] transfer relevant files from an old (2004?) iBook running 10.5.8 to a new 21" iMac running Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Using ethernet as iBook has firewire but iMac only has Thunderbolt.
Unfortunately the iMac was "admired/played with" a few times before trying to transfer the files so the only option is/was Migration Assistant.
Initially all seemed fine, but just as the processed was almost complete, - the transfer hung and the time to completion increased from seconds to minutes to hours. Ended by manually shut down.
I believe we have three options:
1) Erase hard drive, do a re-install using Mountain Lion's built in reinstallation facility (We do not have back-up yet)
      Then use set-up assistant on first boot-up to transfer files/apps etc. Have not yet added any data/files so no loss if we erase the HD.
2) Try Migration assistant again
3) I assume most (all?) of the old apps will not run on the new iMac, so there is no point in transfering them.
     Instead I wonder about just copying over the important files, ie Address book files, Safari/iTunes/ etc etc
Any advice suggestions would be appreciated

Mountain Lion, home network and choosing a new printer...

We recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. We have multiple iMacs and use an AirPort Extreme. We also have iPhones and iPads. I am upgrading my printer, but am unsure how to make sure the printer will be compatible and will work on our network. This has been an issue in the past and networking is not my strongest skill. What do I need to look for to ensure my investment is not a waste of money?
I am looking at the HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M276mw, HP LaserJet Pro300 color MFP 375nw but am still open to other options if it suits our needs and will work with our network.

Eric, I just found that document a little while ago. It was what influenced me to choose the 200 series, since it was on the list.
I believe you are correct Gerald. I believe I am now planning on buying, but I want to ensure I know how to install it so everything will work properly. I am not sure if that will require a direct network connection, wireless or something else. I don't like to get something, know it *should* work and fail to be able to accomplish that. LOL
I called the folks at HP. Luckily for me the Mac tech support section is closed on the weekends and only works Monday - Friday. *sigh*

Hi Ajay60610,
If your printer is ePrint enabled you can register it the cloud and get an email ID for your printer.
Here are the steps to enable eprint on your printer.
1. Connect the printer to the internet network.
2. Let the printer fetch the valid IP address.
3. Click on the ePrint Button on the printer.
4. Proceed by clicking Yes.
5. The printer should get registered and display the email ID.
6. It will also print an instruction page which has the claim code with instructions.
Note: For Connecting the printer to wifi you can click on the wireless button and then select wireless setup wizard and proceed with the instructions on the printers front panel.
Kind Regards,
Oliver

You posted in the iMac (PPC) community.
You would do better by posting in the "laptop" forum of the model "laptop" that you have. Your questions has nothing to do w/iMacs (PPC).

Can I Airprint to HP Deskjet 6800 if so how or do I need a new printer

Can I Airprint to HP Deskjet 6800? if so how? or do I need a new printer?

It's not one of the printers that is listed on this page as being AirPrint enabled, and it doesn't look like HP's ePrint app supports it either. You could try a third-party printer app such as Print Central For iPad or Print n Share to see if they work with it.

How do I remove my existing wi-fi networks/settings and create new network. Have lost passwords to the networks.

I have Imac that was upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion. Originally had an ATT Modem that with wi-fi to our Imacs. Original modem quit working and ATT replaced it with a different modem and wi-fi network was changed. During these changes and subsequent support(?) calls with ATT the passwords were changed and/or lost. Using an ethernet connection now which works fine but would like to go back to wi-fi. However, can't get into either of the previous wi-fi networks or make changes since we don't have a working password. How can I completely deletes the existing wi-fi networks and establish a new one? And, If I bought an Apple Wi-Fi base station, could I connect it to my ATT modem and then set up a network using the base station. At one time we were told that we had to use the ATT modem since we are on ATT DSL so I am not sure what will work with that modem or won't work.

Is the wireless network for Internet access provided by another AirPort (Express, Extreme, or Time Capsule) router?

How do i shut down an old network and create a new one

I have a network that requires a password. I changed the password, but people who were previously signed in can still access the network. How can I shut down the network and start a new one with a new password?

Change both the name of the wireless network and the password
Make sure that you are using WPA2 Security
If you give the password to anyone, you should assume that they will give it to someone else.

How do I configure Guest network to access ethernet wired printer?

I have a wired/wireless network with a new dual band AEBS. The AEBS is connected to a Cisco router, which in turn sends it's connections to various wall-plates in our home. One HP 4110 printer is wired via it's ethernet port, one Mac Mini (OS 10.6.2) is hard wired also. The dual band AEBS 5 GHz network is used for our newer laptops, and the 2.4 GHz network is used for a G3 Firewire PowerBook (now don't make fun... it was the best there was at one time) running OS 10.4.11.
The PowerBook cannot access the printer that is hard wired via ethernet cable to the network. How do I get the PowerBook on the "Guest" network to access the printer?
I tried searching these discussions, but can't find an answer to my specific issue. Any help is appreciated.

Since you have a simultaneous dual-band AEBS, why not connect your PowerBook G3 to the non-Guest 2.4 GHz network created?
Can I take an AEBS that is a couple of years older (I have a couple of the flying saucers around here somewhere), wire that to an available ethernet port on the LAN, and then connect the older PowerBook G3 to that older AEBS wirelessly?
Sure
If so, will that arrangement slow down the entire system?
No
If that won't work, and I connect the PowerBook G3 directly to an ethernet port, will that slow down the other wireless computers?
Yes you can connect your PowerBook G3 via Ethernet. That would have no effect on the wireless computers.
