How to connect my macbook to a wireless printer?

My printer has connected to WiFi no problem but I cannot seem to find the printer when in system preferences "add printer"...Please help!

Hey sharminw,
Have you installed the printer drivers for your printer? If you already did, and if you are connected to your wireless internet through your computer, you should be able to see your printer under "add printer."
I noticed I couldn't install a wifi printer through "add printer" unless I had the drivers installed.
Hope this helps.

    You would have to have one of the few HP printers that support airprint:
    iOS: AirPrint 101
    Or you could find an app that provides this feature.

  • How to connect my ipad mini to wireless printer

    Could someone tell me how to connect my ipad mini to my AirPrint printer

    If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed.  A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
    However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network.  Its 2 different things.
    For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network.  It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

  • How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

    How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

    Hi Kappy,
    Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
    When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
    When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
    I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

  • How to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?

    how to connect my macbook pro to a computer-to-computer network?  My home computer is a Window 8 OS.  Thx.

    The easiest way, and it may work from scratch, is to share the folders/drives you want access to on your pc, noticing what are the default parameters (eg "workgroup" etc.).
    Then, you can connect your mac directly by ethernet, for instance, and, in Finder, go to > Network, you should see the folders/drives. You may be asked to provide user/password.
    Don't get confused by regular/crossed ethernet cable, as mac can cross by software, so a regular cable will be ok.
    Anyway, either you isd modem has the ability to connect several devices (multiple ethernet sockets, or wifi), or you can buy a router, which isn't expansive.

    You have two choices. You can use a 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable or for best results use a digital audio cable between them.

    How do I connect my iPad to my wireless printer?

    Your iPad should be able to print directly to your printer if it is an AirPrint compatible model.
    Check this Apple support document to see if your printer is compatible.

  • Unable to connect my Macbook to a network printer

    Hi,
    My problem is specific to Canon iR2016 printer model which is connected to a router which in turn is connected to a wireless router. I want to connect my macbook pro to this printer, which somehow I am not able to.
    Till now I have gone to "Print & Fax", clicked on "+" sign, then clicked on the "Windows" tab. There I can see the network printer listed. I select it, then asks for software driver or printer model. Now here I select Printer model, but my model iR2016 is not listed. Then I select generic Post script printer and Add. The printer gets added, but when I print, nothing prints. I also tried with generic laser printer option, but no luck.
    Look forward to feedback.
    Thanks.

    Checking the Canon Australia web site the iR2016 lists UFR2 and PCL5e/PCL6 as supported print languages. Postscript was an option and given that the Generic PS did not work then it would be safe to assume that this option is not installed.
    If you have installed the UFR2 v1.80 driver then you add this printer by selecting More Printers > Canon IP (UFR II). If you have installed the v2.xx driver then you simply select IP > LPD for the protocol. This then requires you to enter the IP address of the iR2016 and then you can browse for the iR2016 in the Print Using menu. However this is for a direct IP connection. You cannot use the UFR2 driver via the Windows share, which you mention trying.
    So if the printer has its own Ethernet connection to the network then select to add the queue using IP > LPD, enter the IP address of the iR2016 and in the Print Using menu type 2016 to filter the list to the correct model. It should show UFRII in the name. Select this and you should be able to print.
