How to configure a wireless printer

Hello guys,
I've just got a new MBP 13' with retina display.
I do have also a CANON PIXMA printer with wireless device (it says enabled for air print and compatible with Mac) thus I would like to configure and add it to my MBP and possibly to my IPAD and IPHONE.
I have a wireless network at home and it works fine with my MBP.
I thank you all in advance for the help provided.
Roberto

There is NO Wireless Printing, that is a Misnomer. You print over your network. It doesn't matter how the printer or the computer connects to your network, it could be by WiFi or over an Ethernet cable, both of them have to be connected to the same LAN (Local Area Network).
So the first step is to connect the Printer to your home LAN. It has to get an IP address from your router or modem/router combo box used to connect to the internet. Once that is done then you can connect To the printer from your computer that is connected to that same LAN.

  • How to setup a wireless printer

    I was wandering if anyone out there knows how to setup a wireless printer without spending a lot of money. I have a dell photo 962 printer and a wrt54g router. I have tried to setup the printer on my laptop but it will not let me do so unless I connect it directly to the printer. My computers are running windows xp. Thanks for your help.

    well for that you need to setup a printer as network printer, if your printer have networking capabilities...if not then you need to buy print server...

    Best way is to use an AirPrint compatible printer:

    If your printer is not AirPrint compatible, you might want to take a look at Printopia.

    How to add a wireless printer to airprint?

    Only the printer manufacturers can add AirPrint support to their printers via firmware updates. If your printer isn't listed on this page as supporting AirPrint, then does the manufacturer have their own app in the app store that supports it ? If not then there are third-party printer apps such a PrintCentral Pro and Print n Share which might work with it.

    How To Disable A Wireless Printer Network Setting (SSID) On A HP L7700  Previousley Set Up

    Hello @flamek2,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are trying to disable the wireless settings on your Officejet pro L7700 series printer.
    I would like to help.
    To erase the printers network information, go into the Setup menu.
    Then go into the Network menu.
    Select restore network defaults.
    If you want to disable wireless altogether, then go into setup and choose network.
    Select wireless radio, and turn it off.
    Hope this helps you.
    If you need any additional assistance please let me know.

  • How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

    How do I add wireless printer or Direct tv

    These devices would be added the same way that any other wireless device is added as a client to a network......
    1)  Scan to select the network
    2)  Enter the wireless network password
    Keep in mind that DirecTV cannot connect to a wireless network if there are special characters.....like an apostrophe, asterisk, dollar sign, etc......in the wireless network name.
    So if your wireless network is named something like Ernestomelia's Wireless Network, DirecTV will not be able to to connect. Instead, the network should read something like ernestomelia network. A shorter name with no spaces would be better.
    Your printer might have similar requirements, but you did not provide the make or model number of the device....so we don't have much to go on here. In general, you would want to contact support at the printer manufacturer for more specific information.

  • How to configure a parallel printer to a USB port?

    Hi people....I'm trying to set up our old, trusty Laserjet 5P with our new G70 using a USB to parallel cable, but to no avail. Any ideas on how to configure this odd couple so that they can live and work in harmony? My wife would rather lose me than have to give up her printer. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    In addition to the printer driver shich you have installed you may also need a driver for the USB to parallel converter.  The other thing I would check would be the port settings, the converter may provide an emulated LPT1: port, but it may be a different port.  Make sure you are using the correct port.

  • How to make a wireless printer?

    I have laptop with wifi,  and  have a wireless router  ,a HP color Laserjet 1515n.  now I  want to  put the printer  in the other room  far from the router and  laptop.  how can I  make a  wireless printer(no wire connect to the router)?  shall  I  buy  a  device?  what  kind  device?  thank you!

    As far as I can tell your printer only has a USB connection, right?
    If so, you may be able to buy a wireless print server, but they are somewhat difficult to set up.  If you buy one, get one the same brand as your wireless router (I don't think HP makes one for this printer from my quick search).

  • How to fix single wireless printer showing up as several (bonjour) printers?

    I have the following problem with a wireless printer/scanner connected using bonjour (Samsung SCX-3205W):
    When using the device in wireless mode, after a period, the single printer shows up in the selection list as tens or even hundreds of seperate printers. Applications showing/selecting printers or scanners slow down dramatically and sometimes stop responding (beach ball rotating for long periods)
    Below is an example of what is shown in e.g. printer selection lists (see also attachment):
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28060)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28061)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28062)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28063)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28064)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28065)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28066)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28067)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28068)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(xxxxx)
    The device works fine using USB or ethernet connection but problems arise when using the wireless connection. After adding the printer using System Preferences / Print & Scan it seems to work fine, atleast for a while. After some time the printer seems to multiply itself in the printer lists (e.g. when adding new printer or using Preview or Image Capture to scan and choosing a network device.)
    I'm using OS X 10.7.3 and have the latest drivers for the printer (Samsung SCX 3200 series 1.01.01)
    Im connected to the printer through a wireless router/adsl-modem
    The problem seems to start (i.e. printer starts to "multiply") after the printer goes into power save mode. (The power save function can't be turned off, only set to max 120min)
    Anyone have similar problems with other wireless printers or any idea what might be causing this? Or how I could fix it?
    Best regards,
    JL

    I haven't received any replies to the question I recently posted, but one work-around that HP suggested is to use different scanning software. Instead of Image Capture, I used the HP Scan.app that came with my all-in-one printer. I haven't seen those rectangles in my PDFs since switching.

  • IBook, Gateway Laptop and 2 printers, how to set up wireless printing?

    I have an iBook G4 with an Airport Card, my wife has a Gateway Solo with a wireless card. We have an existing wireless internet connection. We have two Epson printers that we would like to be able to print to wirelessly.
    I'm assuming that I need to connect both printers to a wireless router, and I assume it may be another router and not the one we're using for internet. What do I need to do to get both of us to be able to print wirelessly to either printer from our laptops?
    Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

    Well I spent a lot of trial and error getting this to work, however I use the Airport Extreme (white UFO thing) router from apple. From the router that is transmitting your wireless connection, there should be some way to hook up your printer(s) via ethernet cables. If your printers are too far away from the router, you may have to purchase an additional router. My Airport extreme can only utilize one printer at once (yours may be able to have multiple peripherals connected to it). In order to use two, I would have to pruchase an additional airport transmitter (like an Airport Express) and have the 2nd printer wired to that.
    The only hangup I had was figuring out why my windows computers didn't see the wireless printer. I needed to have installed Bonjour (Apple's peripheral communication software) on all the computers on the network and it can be downloaded on Apple's support web page. Depending on your router, you may not need to.
    Your router, whatever it may be, should work in a similar fashion. Consult your router's manual for the proper connection methods/possibilities. Hope this info helps you some.

    My printer is only printing blank pages. I have tried cleaning printheads, etc. and I am now trying to download driver updates. The instructions say to disconnect the printer from the computer, but I am connected through a wireless connection. I'm not sure how to properly disconnect that. 

    Driver updates are for your print driver in your computer.... You can simply power down your printer.
