HP Printer connected to Dell prints junk from my Macbook, lil' help please

Home network w/ HP 832 connected to Dell desktop. When I send a print job to it (wireless connection-not directly connecte), all I get is 3-4 blank pages spit out followed by 5-6 pages of what looks like print code and a bunch of O's and X's. Huge waste of paper.
I'm guessing that I either have it set wrong or the printer is obsolete. The printer works just fine with the Dell.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
John

You need to use a CUPS driver with the CUPS built-in Windows Printing protocol. Check here:

    Any luck with the suggestions mentioned by Bob Timmons?
    I am having pretty much the same issue.
    Got a new modem Arris SB6141 and a new Airport Extreme ME918LL/A. Activated with my ISP (Comcast). Worked with a savy tech who knew the modem and Airport Extreme. Ensured all items were correct from the ISP side.
    I follow the instructions as indicated for Airport Extreme by it fails to detect the internet and dns servers. Comcast suggested I call apple. Reading posts above I will:
    -Reset the airport extreme
    -Unplug the modem for 30min
    Airport Utility 6.3.4 (634.17)
    Airport Extreme ME918LL/A Firmware Version 7.7.3

    Appreciate the assistance folks.

  • What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro (it has been taken out of the computer) to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfer files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    What is the exact name of the cable I need to connect my old hard drive from my macbook pro, which has been removed from the computer, to my new macbook pro?  I need to transfere files from the old hard drive to the new computer.

    No eSATA to USB. Just a SATA/IDE to USB adapter. Google SATA/IDE to USB adapter and you will get tons of links to buy them. Most likely your local computer electronics store has them, although they might be more expensive buying locally than online.
    I have several. You can get either USB 2, which what I recommend, or USB 3. USB is backward compatible so a USB 3 adapter will work on a USB 2 port and a USB 2 adapter will work on a USB 3 port. Backward compatible in both directions.
    I suggest a USB 2 type because there have been some problems with certain USB 3 devices, the USB 3 interface used isn't all that good in those certain devices. USB 3 is still fairly new where as USB 2 has been around for over 10 years.

    Thank you LowLuster,
    At the apple store they said I needed an esata to usb wire.  But looking at wires on line has been confusing.  Is sata the same as esata?  How do I know if I need a usb 3 or usb 2?

  • What is the direct connect method for transfering photos from my macbook pro to my iphone without using iTunes syncronization? (iow: a simple photo copy from mac to iphone?)

    I feel like I should know the answer to this. I can't believe it is a hard question.

    Easy? Right?
    Just plug my iphone in to a mac and copy a photo from the mac to my iphone.
    I don't have internet access - I can't email it, or mobileme it, or dropbox it.

    iTunes. Other than that there is no direct method. However, do try the iPhone forums.

  • How do i connect a dell monitor u2715h to my macbook pro late 2013?

    How do I connect a Dell monitor U2715H to my MacBook Pro. The only drivers provided are for Windows.

    THanks, James. My daughter suggested I just plug in my new monitor since Macs often don't need as much driver support as Windows machines. Sure enough, that's all I had to do.

  • Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my macbook Pro.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks I am finding that I am lucky to get 2 hours (when connected to WiFi) of use from my Macbook Pro.  I have turned off Bluetooth ( which was not an issue previously), uninstalled Chrome, again not an issue before I upgraded, and have not seen any improvement.
    I was using an older OS system (Snow Leopard) on my 2010 Macbook Pro.  I am wondering now if the upgrade was an unwise move?

    jbuckworth,
    which apps do you run under battery power? Are any of them identified as “apps using significant energy” when you click on the battery icon in the menu bar? If you have a 15-inch or 17-inch model, are your apps using the discrete GPU (which consumes more power than the integrated GPU)?
    How many charge cycles has your battery accumulated?
    How long have you had Mavericks installed? Is Spotlight still reïndexing your boot drive? (It does that whenever your OS is upgraded, because so many files change in an OS upgrade.)

  • My mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?

    my mini is connected to the wifi network, but is not able to connect to the working internet... can anybody help, please?

    192 is local address within your network.
    Unless the adddress is of a server that can reolve URL names to ip addresses you wont be able to load an external web page.
    You can check what it should be by checking your router status page.
    Or if you have an iOS device check under settings, W-Fi, select the network your attched to, then see what is next to DNS.

  • My MBP didn't recognise my password, started it in safe mode, I can see my files, but I don't know what to do next, as the image of reset password isn't selectable. I just moved from PC. Need help please...

    Safe mode is not what you want in this case. Reboot to recovery mode - hold down cmd-R as the Mac reboots. Go past the language-selection screen, click the Utilities menu, then Terminal. Type:
    resetpassword
    Followed by the return key, and follow the prompts. Reboot normally when done.

  • Use printer connected to PowerBook (w/AirPort) from a PC without a router?

    Thanks in advance for any help, and forgive me if this has been answered. A search turned up no satisfactory results.
    Is it possible to print wirelessly to a printer that is connected to my AirPort-equipped PowerBook from a PC without a router in the mix?
    Basically, can the PowerBook act as an access point (is that the correct term?) so that I can connect to it wirelessly from a PC and use its USB printer? Neither machine will be connected to the Internet, and a router will not be used.

    Hi,
    If I understand this correctly, you wish to set up an ad hoc (wireless peer-to-peer) network between a PC and a Mac. A USB printer will be connected to the Mac. The Mac is running Mac OS. The printer is to be shared.
    The level of complication is high, since two platforms are involved, since it is a USB local printer (not a network printer), and since neither a print server nor a router (base station) will be used.
    It would probably not be a bad idea to have a look at, or post a question in, the Windows Compatibility forum or one of the AirPort fora instead. Also, this web page might be of interest regarding general setup issues.
    Additionally, a remote control application could possibly offer a solution.

  • How do I wirelessly print to my epson xp-610 from my macbook pro 10.6.8? I get pause messages but no printouts

    I can print using a usb cable and I can print from my iPad to the printer, but I can't get my macbook pro to print wirelessly. My printer is connected to a time machine/airport for the wireless connection. I've tried every combination of queue/printer/setup I can and nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated.

    I must not have been clear. I didn't originally connect it with a USB. I only did that to check to see if it would print at all. It did. I originally set it up as a wireless printer. And my laptop won't connect to it to print.
