How to connect to an AirPrint compatible printer?

Hi there,
I'm new to MAC and have a problem connecting my network printer to my MacMini:
Hardware:
1) Intel Mac Mini
2) Printer: HP laserjet pro 100 color mfp m175nw, WLAN switched off, connected via Ethernet to the same network as 1) and 3)
3) Windows PC
Problem:
I can't discover the printer from my MAC Mini. However, I can connect indirectly via the Windows PC which is sharing the printer resource in the network.
Question:
Is there a way to directly connect to the printer via Ethernet, so that I can print with my Windows PC switched off?
Thanks for your help!
Wolfgang
P.S: I can print with my iPAD connected via an AirPort extreme to the same Ethernet network.

I could resolve the problem by checking the network connection of the printer.Printer was offline . Now detection and configuration works as expected. Sorry...

how to connect my cannon mx470 series printer with Bluetooth to my mini mac

Does the printer actually support BlueTooth? If the printer is wireless, then most likely it uses Wi-Fi. Did you read the user guide that came with it? Or contact Canon tech support at their website.

Can I use the AirPort Extreme to print with my iPhone on a non AirPrint compatible printer

Can I used this as my new network router and make my printer work with my iPad and iPhone

In order to print from an iPhone or iPad, your printer needs to be AirPrint compatible. Check to see if your printer is compatible using this Apple support document:

Simply connecting the printer to the AirPort Extreme will not make it AirPrint compatible.

HT2693 My iPhone & iPad can't recognize my airprint compatible printer. My printer: Samsung SCX-3405 HW. Any one help me??

My printer is Samsung SCX-3405 HW that is airprint compatible.
But my iPhone & iPad can not recognize it.!
Help me please. What's wrong?!
Thank you

I've just installed this printer and enabled - everything is working on airprint with my iPad2, iPad Air, Macbook and Mac Mini.
The trick was to connect to the printer's wireless network directly (the direct connect box must be clicked when you're setting up with a USB connection) first. The next time I tried to find the airprint printer, it was there.
There is a password associated to the printer's direct connect network as well (setup utility gives you this). I'm guessing that once it's in the keychain for the device, it can find it and connect to it.
Anyway - this should solve the mystery. It's all installed and working. I didn't have to do a firmware upgrade (not available except as a windows.exe file), but I did install the latest driver off of the support community. I couldn't get the scanner to work until the driver was up to date.
I'm running OSX 10.9, printer is Samsung SCX-3405FW, iPad software is latest on both iPads.

How to Connect a USB-to-Wireless printer to a Wireless Network without a PC

Some printers from HP do not have a Wireless Setup Wizard built into the front panel for connecting to a network. These models install to a computer through a USB connection and the software then sends the wireless information across the USB cable to the printer. However, you may not always have a computer present and still need to connect these printers to a wireless network. You can use a wireless device, such as an iPad, to do this. For the example below I have used an iPad and a Deskjet 3510 series printer.
The first step is to make sure your printer is broadcasting a network (Ad-Hoc). To do this, turn the printer on and press the wireless button or turn wireless off, then on in the Setup menu. Connect the iPad (or other wireless device) to the wireless signal being broadcast by the printer.
Once the iPad is connected to the printer as a network connection, open the Web Browser on the iPad. Type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and go to that site. The printer's status page should load and look similar to the image below.
Click on the Network tab at the top of the Status page. You may get a prompt warning about being redirected to an HTTPS site. Click Ok on the message box to continue. When you click OK, you may get a warning regarding the certificate or server identity. Select the option that lets you continue. The wording will vary from browser to browser, but there should be an option to continue anyway.
Network status page should now be loaded at this point. Select Wireless Setup Wizard to start the wireless network setup and click Next.
When next is selected, it should list the available wireless networks. Select your network from this list and select next. When the network is selected, it should be highlighted.
Enter the network’s password, if any, and select next.
A message should be received indicating the name and if security is enabled. The message below that should indicate the settings were saved successfully. If it says the settings were saved successfully with an error, the network setup is more than likely functioning. Select Ok at the bottom.
After selecting OK, select Status to verify the printer is connected successfully. It may take a few minutes for the wireless light on the printer to stop flashing. Once it is a solid blue, the printer should be on the network and functioning.
Once this is completed, then you will be able to reconnect to your normal wireless signal (Wireless Router) for internet access. Now both the iPad and printer are on the same Home Network.

I have an AirPrint compatible printer and it's not printing from my iPad?

Can someone please help me my printer is OfficeJet 6500 Plus......it will print from the app but if I wanted to print from the Internet it says no printer found.....please help me thank you

Randy-
Your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. If that is the case, you could verify it by setting your printer's WiFi to Ad Hoc mode and connecting the iPad directly to it.
It may be possible to change a router's set up to handle Bonjour data. There also could be a firmware update for it that would solve the problem.
Deggie's suggestions are good. Another iPad App that gets good reviews is Print n Share.

How to connect Canon MP470 with USR5461 Print Server on Leopard 10.5

The main problem I had with adding this printer is that the drivers from Canon's website do not work. Do not download and use the CUPS driver provided from Canon.
You need to use this driver which should be included on your MacBook: Canon PIXMA MP150 - Gutenprint v5.1.3
Here are the steps:
1) Go to System Preferences
2) Click on Print & Fax
3) Hold down alt/option next to control and click the + sign to add a printer.
4) Select advanced from the tabs above. Note: If you do not see an advanced icon on the top toolbar, right click and click customize toolbar to add the advanced button (the fact that you have to do that is weird to me).
5) Wait for a little while when you enter into advanced and it will eventually give you a list of printing protocol types. Select the drop down labelled types and select Internet Printing Protocol (http)
6) Enter the URI http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer
7) If you changed your router address replace 192.168.2.1 with whatever address you use to access your router's settings page.
8) Select the driver Canon PIXMA MP150 - Gutenprint v5.1.3
9) You may enter the location of your printer if you want i.e. Brad's Room or where ever your printer is located.
10) Click add printer.
11) You should be back to the Printer & Fax screen. Double click the newly added printer on the list to your left. That will open the printer queue.
12) Then select Printer from the system menu on top and select print test page.
13) Make sure your printer is on and everything is connected.
14) Happy printing.

Actually there is a better way. I had been having problems on my new Macbook with OSX 10.5 but not on my Mac Mini running OSX 10.4. After doing some searching I figured out that it had something to do with the way 10.5 handles CUPS whatever that is. After sitting on hold with Apple forever they blamed it on USR even though my other Mac running 10.4 and my Windows machines all work fine.
Since Apple refuses to admit it is there problem here is the work around I came up with. It is a two parter. Before you start make sure your printer driver is installed just like you would if your printer was connect directly to your Mac.
First Part
1) Open the "printer and fax" control panel
2) Delete the old printer set up through the USR5461
3) Click the "+" sign to add a new printer
4) Here is the tricky part apple doesn't tell you. You need to go into "advanced set up but there is no obvious way to do that. Right click on the blank spot next to more printers and select "customize tool bar".
5) Click and drag the sprocket called "Advanced" to the tool bar"
6) Then click the "advanced" icon in the tool bar.
7) Give it a few seconds before clicking anything. Then in the "type" drop down menu choose "internet printing protocol (http)"
8) Enter the IP address of your printer (the default for the USR5461 is http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer)
9) Name the printer and fill in the location field with whatever you like
10) From the drop down menu choose "select a printer to use" and then find your printer driver.
11) Then hit the "add" button at the bottom and you are done with the first part
Second Part
1) Use your browser to go to http://192.168.2.1/device.asp (this may require you to log into your USR5461)
2) About halfway down you will see "Check the U.S. Robotics Web site for an update." and click the link
3) The link takes you to a page where you have to select your device (USR5461 under "wireless")
4) There you can find a "beta firmware update 3.93.35.0.9 (Jun 5 2008)", download that.
Then go back to http://192.168.2.1/device.asp and upload the firmware file and choose "ugrade"
5) Once you do this it will take about 30-60 seconds for your USR5461 to come back online. Wait until it is completely rebooted and check the firmware to make sure the update is correct. If so you are done with the second part.
Now try printing. I hope this works for everyone.
Well, to get the Advanced tab choice, I had to customize the Add Printer toolbar: there you can add a handy Advanced button. Press that, and there you'll find the Tiger functionality hiding!

How to connect E4200 to Wireless Dell Printer

I feel like i should know this...i set it up on my last wireless router my wrt54g......but now i cfan't figure out for the E4200 or the printer....please help!

You might have installed your router using the Cisco connect software. Open the Cisco connect software and go to Router settings. You will find the wireless network name and password.
Note down the password for the wireless network.
Search for the wireless network on your printer. Select your wireless network and enter the password. Once you connect to the wireless network, you will be able to print.

I am having issues printing from ipad via airprint compatible canon 5230- noairprint found

I just purchased canon mg5230 AirPrint compatible printer. Attepting to print from Keynote and numbers. Message-no airprinters found. Printer does work via wireless laptop. It will print a photo only via Canon app.

Not sure if this is a typo, but the 5230 is not on the list of airprint printers, but the 5320 is.
Here is the list.

If you have the 5320, the from the printer control panel, see if you can update the frimware on the printer. If you have recently bought it, it was not likely shipped with the current software.
