How to set up my MAC to print on XP wireless Router

Is there a site out here where I can get detailed instructions (in proper sequence) to get my wife's brand new laptop to print on shared network We have an XP laptop and desktop. Desktop is hooked up to a hp2175 printer. I had no problems using the wireless router to access the internet, but now I'm really at a lost of how to get the mac to print like my XP laptop.
Any help and detailed guidance is appreciated.

1. Set it up with the iCloud options in System Preferences. I am not sure you will get a mac.com address unless you alrady have one, probably a .icloud.com
2. I have used it for 6 years and I am happy with it.
3. Don't know.

How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

How do I get my iPad to print to my wireless printer?

If your printer (which you did not identify in your post) is an AirPrint printer, it should work out of the box as long as everything is set up correctly and working properly.
AirPrint printers are listed here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you don't have an AirPrint printer, you need a third party app. There are several in the App Store that you can check out.
You can also use your computer as a print server in order to print from the iPad with Printopia for Mac, or Print Magic for Windows.

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are XP,Vista & 7.
Thanks

Unplug the USB cable from the printer. Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.

How to set static IP for C4599 printer ???

Was afraid if we clicked 'answered' <per 'answer' below> we may never get an answer to a followup question to 'PrintDoc' at http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Networking&thread.id=5277 .
Hopefully this re-post will help.
Question/s...
1. When trying to set 'static IP', and click on 'this' link ( http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... ) at your email < below> get...
"An Unexpected Error has occurred."
2. Also, getting printing error after HP Director shows C4500 wireless connected and starts printing.
At 'Component Services' / 'Event Properties' shows...
"The document http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?HTMLVers owned by Alan failed to print on printer HP Photosmart C4500 series (Wireless). Data type: NT EMF 1.008.

'Event Viewer' showing 'xpsp2res.dll' file info ?
Does #2. have anything to do with 'IP' question, and will 'static IP' fix ?"

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?
Thanks again for your help !

How to set password on mac air

how to set first password for mac air
mike hawthorne

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Users & Groups.
Also you may want to consider FileVault as it provides a lot more protection for the data on your MacBook Air than just having a password. There is more information at OS X: About FileVault 2 - Apple Support

How to set the default values for print options

Hi all,
We can set the default value for print options, just like Logical destination、numbers of messages、print immediately and so on, so where we should to maintain these default?

Hi Sandy,
This can be done by an abaper by making changes in the driver program. The Driver program feeds all the data which u have mentioned for printing.
if the driver program is standard. copy to an z type and make modification on printer settings on the driver program code.
this will surely solve the issue.

Printing from a Mac to a Windows XP printer through a wireless router

I have searched through many posts and still cannont come up with an answer.
I have a Lexmark X5100 printer connected to an XP PC in my home. My iMac is recieving internet wirelessly from a router connected to the PC. I am trying to figure out how to print from my iMac to the printer connected to the PC. I have turned on printer sharing on the PC and the Mac, and when I go to the Printer Setup Utility>Add Printer>More Printers>Windows Printing>mshome, it gives me a list of printers, but none of these printers is the one that I want to print to.
I have also tried windows printing via SAMBA, but the printer driver is not listed in the menu, even though I installed it from the internet.
Am I able to print to this printer wirelessly, or is this just an impossible task?
iMac 2 GHz 20' Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2 GB RAM

I just went thru this with an HP Wireless Printer 6980. I had to originaly set up the printer with Windows. Once I had the windows machine working wirelessly with the printer ; I installed the software that came with the printer to the iMac. After the software was successfully installed ; I went to Utilities , and Printer set-up Utility and the iMac found the wireless printer and all I had to do was add it to the list at that point. It can work .... but it did take some trial and error to get it working. Good Luck !!

How can i get my computer to print with a wireless HP envy4502 using an ATT sierra hotspot

I have a HP envy 4502 wireless printer that works find printing from my iphone. I use an ATT Sierra hotspot that is connected via usp to my computer to access the internet form it. My problem is I would like to print from my computer without having to connect the hotspot via usb and connect wireless via the hotspot. How do I connect the printer. Do i need a cable to connect it to computer or do I need a router to connect the computer to the printer wireless. I am confused as to what needs to be done so my hotspot doesnot have to be physically connected to print.

Hi kragan,
I understand you would like to print from your computer to your Envy 4502.
I can help you with this. You should be able to run the wireless wizard on the front screen of the printer and connect it to your Hotspot wirelessly. If you put your computer on the same network, both devices can communicate withe one another. HP Printers are designed to work with 802.11 WiFi networks, thus connecting to the Hotspot may not work.
This particular model does have the feature called Wireless Direct (WD). HP wireless direct is a new feature that allows your Wi-Fi capable devices (for example: smart phones, tablets, or computers) to make a wireless network connection directly to your printer without using a wireless router or access point. You connect to your printer's HP wireless direct signal the same way you connect your Wi-Fi capable device to a new wireless network or hotspot. - Source
Please use the instructions in the link I sourced to set the printer up using wireless direct. Simply open the link and click on 'How to connect to HP wireless direct'.
Once the WD is enabled, open your network settings on your computer and choose the printer network, it will look like a variation of the printer name.
If you would like clarification or have any questions I would be happy to help.

How do I get my iPad to print to a wireless printer

How do I get my iPad to be able to print to my brothers DL-2270DW

While all AirPrint printers are wireless, not all wireless printers are AirPrint - enabled. Read: Printing from an iPad or iPhone
To print directly from an iPad you need an AirPrint - enabled printer on the same wireless network as the iPad. If a printer is not an AirPrint - printer, then you can avail yourself of some workarounds with the goal of keeping that printer in service.
Those choices amount to varying degrees of expense or inconvenience, and are:
1. Using a Mac or PC as a proxy for AirPrint. The Mac utilities are:
handyPrint (Mac only, donation-supported)
Printopia (Mac only, $19.95 with free trial)
These are utilities you install on a Mac you would normally use for printing, enabling it to act as an AirPrint print server for any printer the Mac can use. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. The iPad needs nothing else, no iOS apps need to be installed and no configuration is necessary. If your Mac can print, so can the iPad, using one of these utilities on your Mac. The obvious disadvantage is that if you don't have a Mac they're not attractive options.
There may be PC equivalents to the above, but you'll have to do your own research since the only product I had been aware of is no longer available.
2. Using a standalone hardware print server such as this one:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
It is a small device connected to your network, and bypasses the need for a computer to act as an AirPrint print server.
Its advantage is that you don't need a computer, but even the least expensive model is about the price of a new AirPrint printer. It is the more attractive option for someone who doesn't want to rely upon a utility that resides on a Mac, or who already has and wants to use a large number of non-AirPrint printers.
Either of these two options allow you to use any printer available to your Mac: wired, wireless, or USB-only.
3. A free iPad - resident app such as Brother iPrint&Scan. Canon, Epson, and HP have equivalent apps.
The disadvantage of such apps is that their functions are more limited than having a true AirPrint print option appear in apps that can print, and can generally print only some types of documents.
Otherwise you will need to buy an AirPrint printer or multifunction device. I recommend AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices over those of other manufacturers.
Read the reviews and choose wisely.

How to setup and print USB001 via wireless router

Hello,My printer M1136 MFP was able print via usb001 port on RT_N13U_b1 wireless router..this enable me to scan and print without any queue print errors..Now the problem is.. due to recent system setup i removed the printer and tried to re-add. Now am not able to print via usb001 errors but direct usb hardconnect to my system can print and scan ..I've forgotten the steps in the first place how i did the set-up by chance to print via usb001 on wireless router. TCP/IP print works but with queue errors more than 3+ print jobs. I want to setup to print via usb001 through my wireless router, so that i can do a scan wirelessly since tcp/ip always gives error due to multiple queues....but didnt encounter any queue errors on usb001 setup. How can i setup to print via usb001 on my wireless router?

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot setup your HP Laserjet Pro m1136MFP on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this for you! According to your printer's specifications, and page 39, of your printer's user guide, states this printer can only be direcly connected to the computer with the USB printer cable. The M1210 Series Laserjet, can connect to a network but not the M1136 MFP Laserjet printer. Hope this answers your question, and have a nice day! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”

How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.
