How do I print from wifi-connected MacBook Pro to printer connected via USB to Win7 PC?

This is really frustrating, and I did not think that anything could be this difficult on a Mac. I have a Windows 7 Home Premium desktop PC connected via ethernet cable to wireless router, and a printer connected to the PC via USB. I recently bought my first ever Mac - a MacBook Pro, which is connected via wifi through the same router. All I want to do is to print files from the MacBook Pro on the printer connected to the PC. I have spent a LOT of time searching all over the web. Have tried some 2 or 3 different methods but none of them work for me, e.g. I shared the printer on the Win7 desktop and then added the printer on the MBP with the IP option with LPD/LPR Protocol, after enabling LPD Print Service on the PC. The printer gets added but when I give the command to print from the Mac, the print job shows up on the printer queue but the "Printing" soon changes to "Error Printing" (or something like that) and nothing gets printed. Then, I have to switch off the printer, remove the print job from the queue and switch on the printer again to get it out of the error state.
I also tried setting up the printer on the MBP using CUPS Admin interface, i.e. localhost:631. Again, printer gets added but document does not print. The third way I tried to add the printer was using the Windows option in the Add Printer dialog, and typing in an smb: URL but no luck with that, either.
Please, can anyone help me? This is driving me crazy
Oh, and the devices are:
1) Windows 7 Home Premium Desktop PC
2) MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion
3) HP Deskjet F2110 printer
Thanks...

First Install Bonjour for Windows on your Windows machine. This will allow the printer to be discovered.

Hello bstaab,
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities. To wirelessly sync your iPhone with iTunes, you need to be connected using a Wi-Fi network. I found an article that has the steps outlined on how to sync your iPhone wirelessly with iTunes:
Wi-Fi syncing
Open iTunes
To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
The iOS device is plugged in to power
iTunes is open on the computer
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
You can find the full article here:

I hope this helps!

How do I link contacts on the MACBook Pro?

Is contact linking not available on the MACbook Pro?
I'm using OSX 10.9.2, Contacts 8.0?
I can only find how to merge contacts on the MAC but not link them as I can on my iPhone. Am I missing something?

Hello there, jimmyatpc.
Although each action is similar in each OS, they are ultimately a bit different. While contacts in Mavericks "merge" and become one contact (unless in different accounts), on iOS 7 when you link 2 contacts they remain two unique contacts and the information is just shared. See the following Knowledge Base article respectively to get a clear explanation of each:
Contacts (Mavericks): Combine duplicate contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15079
If you have more than one card for a contact, you can combine them, preserving all the unique information.
If the contact cards are in different accounts: You can link them, which retains the separate cards, but displays the combined contact information in one card.If contacts have the same name, the cards are linked automatically.
If the contact cards are in the same account: You can merged them, which combines the cards into one card.
If you remove an account with linked cards, the cards simply unlink, and only the cards in that account are removed.
Add contacts - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph14a87326
Unify contacts. If two entries for the same person aren’t linked automatically, you can unify them manually. Edit one of the contacts, tap Edit, then tap Link Contact and choose the other contact entry to link to.
Linked contacts aren’t merged. If you change or add information in a unified contact, the changes are copied to each source account where that information already exists.
If you link contacts with different first or last names, the names on the individual cards won’t change, but only one name appears on the unified card. To choose which name appears when you view the unified card, tap Edit, tap the linked card with the name you prefer, then tap Use This Name For Unified Card.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

HT4906 I have photos on my iPad how do I sync them with my MacBook Pro?

I just bought a MacBook Pro and I am able to sync calenders and contacts et al but my photos on my iPad don't sync with the compurter. What am I doing wrong?

Any photos you take with your iPad will be added to the iPad's Camera Roll.
If you set up Photo Stream on your iPad, the new photos in the Camera Roll will automatically be added to the Photo Stream.
On your Mac you need iPhoto or Aperture to import the photos from the Photo Stream into a Photo Library. This Photo Stream feature requires OS X Lion v10.7.2 (or later) and iPhoto 9.2 (or later) or Aperture 3.2 (or later).
On your new MacBook Pro you probably have MacOS X 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.2, so the Photo Stream should be available. Have you enabled it in the iCloud settings? And are you using the same Apple ID on both your iPad and your Mac?

I have somehow the same problem. I just bought the new iPhone 4S and tried to connect it to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.6, latest version, model 2011). The Phone did not see the Mac but the Mac the Phone, so I connected the Phone via Mac.
It worked for about 5 seconds, but then I got this error message:
It's German and means that the network is not available.
Of course I tried again to connect, but I now get always this error:
It says that the device is not available...
I deleted the iPhone from the list under Mac and tried again, but it's still the same.
No my Questions to the community:
Why does the iPhone not see the MacBook?
Why does it allways disconnect?
Is Sync not possible via Bluetooth?
Thanks for your help!

How do I set up printing on Macbook pro, iPad, iPhone

I have two homes with Century Link home networks with wireless routers, we use this Macbook pro, two Ipads, two iphones, as well as pc's. We have an Epson R3000 photo printer and an HP envy 114 (airport) how can we make all these computers work on both printers.

For the MacBook Pro and the other PCs, add these printers as you would add any printer.
For Mac OS X Lion (10.7.x), that would be in System Preferences > Hardware > Print & Scan. Unlock the padlock if necessary, then click the "+" below the list of printers, and follow the printer-specific addition procedures.
The iPads and iPhones (iOS devices) can only print to AirPrint-capable printers. The Epson R3000 doesn't seem to have that capability, but the Envy 114 does claim it. Assuming the iPad or iPhone is on the same network as the Envy 114 at the time you attempt to print, the iOS device should find the printer among the available print devices.
For the Epson 3000, there are programs that you can get to allow the MBP or other Mac to act as an AirPrint device on the network and pass the print job along to any printer the Mac can reach. I use one called Printopia. There may be such programs that run on Windows PC; I do not know.
For the Windows PCs, you should ask on a Windows forum, perhaps one specific to the version of Windows that you run on (each of) them.

Can you transfer files from Macbook Pro to iPad Air via USB ?

Hi ,
Can you use that USB adapter to transfer photos / .pdf`s / .mp3`s and so forth ?
I have a MBP-R + MM , and would like to be able to use the newer iPad Air for veiwing photos as well as .pdf`s , I got the music part , just sync with iTunes.
Many thanks !
G. 

iTunes, when your iPad Air is plugged in via USB to your computer and selected in iTunes, has a tab for Books which can transfer your PDFs to iBooks. It also has a tabs for Photos.
If you select the Apps tab and scroll down to the bottom of the apps list, you will see a section for Apps that can sync files between your computer and the App on your iPad Air. So if you have an app that handles a specific file format you can use iTunes to sync that file between your computer and your iPad Air.
As has been mentioned above, besides iBooks, GoodReader is another well respected app that handles PDFs and you can transfer PDF files between your computer and GoodReader on the iPad Air via the Apps tab.

How do I sync contacts on my Mac to my iPhone 4S?

I have an app called MyContactsKeeper that backs up an iPhone's contacts into a designated Dropbox account.
I now have an iPhone 4S that I'm trying to pull these stored contacts onto, but not all of them are transferring even though the files (filetype .vcf) are still in the Dropbox account.
I now want to try to manually add these contacts to my 4S but don't know how. Can I download these .vcf files and add them to Address Book and from there sync Address Book with my 4S? Is there another way to get these contacts from my Dropbox onto my 4S?

Did you back up your iTunes library from your computer and restore it after reloading? Does your music appear in iTunes on the computer? If so, you can just re-sync it. Media on the phone will be wiped since you'll be setting it up to sync with a new iTunes library.
If you don't have a copy of your iTunes library. you're hosed. The iPhone is not a backup device. Sync is one way with the exception of music purchased on the phone.

How can I sync calendars across my Macbook Pro, My work PC, and my Android Phone?

I primarily schedule things using iCal on my mac. My phone with Gcal has been loaded with a backup of my iCal, but the two don't sync. Lastly, my PC is not connected to anything to sync. Is there some desktop app for Windows 7 that will allow all of this to play together? I'd really like something that sits on my desktop similar to iCal on Mac. Yet needs to sync to my iCal on my Mac and PC and Android Phone.
Thanks

I appologize, but this should be under iCloud on my Mac not Pc. Not sure that I can change this.

How do i sync mailboxes from my macbook to my iphone

I have some mailboxes from my gmail account on my iphone, but the contents are not syncing when I sync the phone.
Help?

You can't sync locally created mailboxes. You create them on the server & then sync them to your phone. Requires an IMAP or Exchange account.

I am trying to sync my iPad mini, Macbook Pro and iPhone through iCloud

Nothing is pushing through to the other devices. Not contacts or calendars or anything. All this is set up. Each device is linked to my Apple ID.
So what's the issue? It's not even sending the information to the main icloud server because I've checked this too!

Thanks! Where do I check that specifically?
Also - after playing around some more realised that my iPad mini pushes out to my iphone and macbook. So when I update contacts on my iPad it updates everywhere else.
