How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer

How do I set up my MacBook Pro to print via wi-fi to my printer?

It is rather hard to know how to help you since, among other things, you didn't tell us what printer you own, what you've tried thus far, and what happened when you tried it. Your printer came with documentation and it may have even come with a disk that takes you through the process step by step. My first two suggestions are that you (1) make sure you know the password and SSID of your wireless router. You'll definitely need the password and you might need to know the router's ID name. (2) read and try to follow the instructions that came with your printer. In general, I've found that Canon and HP instructions and setup software are quite good while Brother wireless printers, at least in the past, have been rather flaky to set up (but work fine once that initial headache is dealt with).

    Hi there
    If you have a 2010 + MacBook Pro, then you will be able to play audio/video via the MiniDisplay Port to HDMI. You can purchase an adapter from here, or a 3rd party adapter from here.

  • How do I set up my MacBook Pro to view on my HDTV?

    I connected my TV to my MacBook Pro with the hdmi cable and changed the display to mirror and changed the source on my TV to PC. What am I missing?
    Thanks!

    Check System Preferences > Sound > Output to see if you have a line for the TV (could be labelled with the brand of the TV or some string with "HDMI" in it). If you have one and it's not selected, select it.
    If you don't have one, the port you are using on your MBP may not support sound output. In that case, you might have to attach a separate audio cable.
    I'm not familiar enough with the model MBP you are using to say which situation is likely to apply to you.

  • How do i xfer audio from macbook pro to ipad via usb

    I have some audio loaded onto my MacBook Pro and my wife would like them on her iPad. I have read the iPad user guide, but the menus it discusses do not appear on my iTunes. I have loaded the compatible version of iTunes to my MacBook.

    Nice try. Really. Thanks.
    I have version 11.0.1 (12)
    The only button in the upper right corner is the iTunes store button.
    I looked at the link you furnished, and saw the iPad button to which you refer.
    The copy of the 11.0.1  I have does not show the iPad button.
    I then selected show sidebar, no help either.
    It shows library, store, genius, and playlists.
    No iPad.
    The real issue is that I was able to transfer some songs to the iPad a week or so ago. I thought that I had merely forgotten how.
    When I first tried to transfer that time I received the message that I needed to download a more recent version of iTunes. I did that, and, voila, I was able to transfer the songs. I just don't remember how. Obviously something has changed since then and I can't imagine what it is.
    Thanks for the effort. Do you have any other suggestions? I am willing to listen.

  • How do you set up a MacBook Pro and a PC with one Airport Express?

    I have a MacBook and my roommate has a PC and we're trying to set up my new Airport Express at our college so we can hook up our computers and printers to it. I had it so that my laptop worked fine, but hers would "connect" and not really have any internet connection at all. Class starts on Thursday, so help would be kindly appreciated!

    I'm a great believer in the KISS principle.
    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Connect the Airport to AC power and finally to the Internet modem (or modem/router).  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • How do i set up my macbook pro for the software i want to use

    how do i customize the building of my mac?  i want to add the software that i want?

    Most of the factory software-installation options have been dropped recently. This is probably because almost everything that Apple used to offer to preinstall for you can now be obtained very quickly and easily through the App Store.

  • Is it easy to set up a Macbook Pro alongside an existing iMac?

    How do you set up a Macbook Pro alongside an existing iMac please?

    Hi,
    We'd like to do everything, basically - to have the 2 machines completely in synch so that we can access all documents, photos, email, iTunes, between the two. We have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 on the desktop so under its second user licence, I want to install that on the Pro. We also have Pages on the iMac but would this be shareable with the Pro or is it one App per machine?
    Thank you!

  • How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?

    How can I restore my new Macbook pro to Factory setting?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.

  • Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

    Does anyone know how to set up a macbook pro so that other computers can join me and use my internet connection?

    Have you set up any security on the Mac Connection Sharing?
    Sorry but I don't use that so I'm not familiar with the settings.
    But if you haven't setup and security the iPhone might not mind but I know most Windows computers do not like to connect to Open WiFi. and make sure it is WPA or WPA2.
    Then again it may be a setting in the connection sharing like some type of MAC filtering or it may simply be that Mac OS X connection sharing only allows one connection at a time. Try disconnecting your phone and then connect the PC.
    As to Linc's response about Windows.
    Windows basically does care about connecting to open, unsecured, WiFi. But it will normally pop up a windows asking "Are myou sure you want to connect to this open network". And a simple click on yes will get you connected and an IP address.
    So this is clearly a Mac OS X problem.
