HP Deskjet 3055A connecting to Macbook Air without wifi

Thinking of getting the HP Deskjet 3055A for my son for University.  They use an Ethernet connection rather than wifi and so to connect his Mac to the printer he would presumably use the USB cable instead. Does that sound right and am I right in thinking that the cable he would need is included in the box for the printer?
This question was solved.

Hi,
That is correct.  The printer only supports Wireless or USB and not Wired Ethernet.  The cable does come in the box.

  • Cannot get connected on MacBook Air to wifi that previously worked; iPad and iPhone OK

    MacBook Air cannot connect to wifi that previously worked; can connect iPad and iPhone. All software current

    If this is a new MBA, and the router is filtering hardware ethernet addresses for security, you will have to add the new address to the router. You can get your wireless hardware address from the Terminal:
    ifconfig en1 | grep ether
    In System Preferences > Network, check the advanced panel for your Wi-Fi, and verify that you have checked Remember networks this computer has joined. If you network SSID name is not in the Preferred Networks list, add [ + ] it, and drag it into preferred order.
    Verify your password used is the same as on the two IOS devices.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    Please take the Mac to  Apple store to have it checked out.

  • Can I connect my MacBook Air wirelessly to my Panasonic Viera HDTV

    I would like to connect my MacBook Air to my Panasonic Viera HDTV wirelessly, so that we can view family photos, videos etc on the large flat screen. Is it possible and, if so, how do I go about it?

    I believe you would need an Apple TV:

    FWIW, you are not running iOS (any version) on a Mac computer, it would be Mac OS 10.x.x (which is helpful for anyone trying to help you).

    How do I connect my MacBook Air bought sep13 to a Benq GL2450? monitor?

    External screens are designed to work as extended displays for your computer's display. It means that menu bars and desktop icons won't appear, and you will only see windows if you drag them to the right part of the computer's display.
    To change this, you have to activate video mirroring > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5019

  • How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    How do I connect my MacBook Air 2011 to a projector?

    It depends on the input connection for the projector, but since many are rduced resolution, VGA seems to be the prevalent common connection.
    It's just a matter of buying the adapter that adapts VGA to the Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt port on your Air. If it is a DVI or HDMI connection input on your projector, the online Apple Store carries that as well.
    This adapter and sufficient length VGA cable is all you need for VGA.
    Here's the DVI adapter.
    For some reason, I am unable to bring up the Moshi HDMI adapter on Apple's site.

    Hi,
    Be aware that scanning is no longer supported on OS x 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 but only print functionality is available:

    The printer can be added under Print & Scan / Print & Fax, its drivers should be downloaded for Apple Software Update automatically.

  • 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 air with thunderbolt to tv via hdmi?

    With this adapter. You will also need an HDMI cable.
    The Thunderbolt port doubles as a mini DisplayPort on the MBA.

  • When I connect my Macbook air to my TV, using a Mini Display Port/HDMl adaptor and an HDMl cable, the only thing that appears on the TV screen is the Air's background screen,

    When I connect my Macbook Air to my TV via the thunderbolt outlet and using a Mini Display Port/HDMl adaptor, the only image that appears on the TV screen is that of my Air background. There is obviously a signal getting through to the TV, but it is not sending images of anything else, and am unable to watch video through my Air. Any advise/suggestions?

    This is called "extended desktop mode".  It's an extension of the desktop off to the right (by default) of your MBair screen.  Grab an app and drag it off the right side of your MBair screen and it will appear on the TV.
    To mirror your MBair screen on the TV you can press Command F1.  This will toogle between mirror and extended desktop.
    You can find all the settings in System Preferences > Displays > Arrangement tab.

    Can anyone help me connect my Macbook Air to a SAMSUNG TV.  When I follow the basic instructions (Thunderbolt to HDMI connection) the screen on my computer goes grey and an error message appears inviting me to press any button to restart the Macbook.  When I do this nothing happens.  Only when I disconnect the computer from the TV does the Macbook allow me to login. The TV does not receive any signal from the Macbook even though I know the HDI port works fine.  Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?  Do I need to enable something on the Macbook?

    An update...
    I downloaded Apple's (rather large!) list of software updates today, and I was finally able to recognize my iPod again. I did a restore using the iPod updater from 06-2006, and all seemed to work OK. (I'm afraid to try the new one again!)
    Then I tried to re-load my music library from iTunes, and got stuck. It froze up after a while and wouldn't go any further.
    When I disconnected my iPod from my computer, I find 2 podcasts and nothing else, though iTunes told me it had transferred 600+ songs. Those 2 podcasts do play fine, and the basic iPod software all seems to be intact.
    So -- anyone get through this connection problem and have any ideas to share??
