HT204387 What about wireless printers?

Just got this iPAD and want to know how I can set it up to print
I have a Brother wireless printer

First check to see if its airprint enabled, it will be listed in the first article link. If not, then there are other options listed below.

  • My Macbook Air won't recognize either of my wireless printers.  What can I do?

    I've had my MacBook Air for a year with two wireless printers connected.  Today, I tried to print something and it seemed my Mac wasn't recognizing my printers anymore.  I went into System Preferences - Printers and after trying other things, I deleted both printers assuming that I would just re-add them thereby rebooting the system.  However, now when I follow the directions and go into System Preferences - Printers - Add (the plus sign), nothing happens.  I can't add anything, nothing shows up, the search function doesn't work.  I don't know what else to do.  Any ideas??

    Thanks for replying so fast.  Before I tried your suggestion, I tried another suggestion that I saw that actually did work and I want to list it here for others that might have same issue.  This is what I did.
    1.  Turned off and unplugged printers (I had two).
    2.  Turned off computer completely
    3.  Went to bed (this is optional)
    4.  Next morning - unplugged the router, left it unplugged for 5 minutes, then plugged it back in.
    5.  Plugged printer in and turned it on and ran it through the set up wizard - some printers may do the set up automatically
    6.  Turned my computer on
    7.  Went into Settings - System Preferences - Printers - clicked on the + sign to add and my printer showed up (nothing showed up when I was initially having the problem)
    8.  Clicked on my printer that I wanted to add and clicked the add button....bottom right of screen
    9.  Went into my document and printed it
    10.  Then did the same with second printer - and my Mac recognized that one as well once I turned it on and did set up
    Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same issue!

  • Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them.  Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport).  What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

    Since upgrading, both our wireless printers are still visible, but OSX will not connect with them.  Both work via connecting from other sources via the same wireless router (airport).  What do I need to do to get my printing/scanning working again?

    First thing to try is reset Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Next would be reset the router (power off 15 secs then back on). And, 2 minutes later, reset the printers 1 by 1.

  • Hello . I'd like to buy an iPhone 5S Space Gray 64GB and get free shipping from the USA to Russa but the problem is I don't know about wireless service plan . What should I choose for Russian wirelesses ? Does T-Mobile work in Russia ? Please , help me

    Sorry , but product is iPhone 5S

    You can't buy from the Apple store online in the US because it is country specific and you firstly need a US credit card and then a US address and they won't ship outside of the US so you can't.
    No Apple online store will ship outside the coutry.
    If you want an iPhone, then you'll have to order via the Russian Apple store online if there is one, or you'll have to wait until it is released in your own country or go and buy one in Europe.

  • What is the best wireless printers for the iPad?

    What is the best wireless printers for the iPad?

    YOu may also want to consider that some printer manufacturers have apps you can use to print, and there are third party printer apps you can also use. So really, in theory, any wireless printer will work with an iPad. If it's airprint enabled it'll work natively, if it's not air print then you use their app or a third party app, so you can potentially expand your search to find a good printer that meets any specs you have (speed, or quality or ink cost) and then work with it to make it print with your iPad.

  • HP Wireless Printers cannot connect to WPA2-secured WiFi networks with Cisco/Meraki WAPs

    In the last two months, I've had the displeasure of working with two very different HP printers and attempting to make them work on a WPA2-secured wireless network.  All attempts to authenticate fail with "invalid phassphrase". 
    I'm not the first person to encounter this, it's a problem with many different HP wireless printers (I just happen to have physical access to the OfficeJet Pro 8610 & Deskjet 3511). 
    My equipment is a Cisco ASA 5505 Firewall running ASA 9.1x & Cisco Aironet 1142 running IOS 15.3.x. 
    What does work on the WPA2/AES SSID:  Apple MacBook Air running OSX 10.10.2, Three Windows-Based laptops running Windows 8.1 Update 1, an iPhone 5s, Three Windows Phone 8.1 devices, Roku 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Sharp Aquos TV, Amazon Streaming Stick, and an Android Tablet (Jellybean).  Basically, everything. 
    What does not work on the WPA2 network:  OfficeJet Pro 8610 & Deskjet 3511.
    To test the theory there is a problem with HP's implementation of WPA2 with regard to Cisco Aironet IOS, I built out a second SSID that only works in WPA/TKIP mode.  This solution works.  Both HP printers will join the WPA/TKIP network.
    So, I'm able to demonstrate there is a certain connectivity issue.  When i look at AAA Debug on the WAP's console, I can observe the HPs attempt to authenticate "Bind I/F" on the WPA2 SSID, however they do not achieve authentication and do not pass the AAA phase.  However, on the WPA SSID, they bind and authenticate successfully. 
    To help illustrate this, here is my WAP running config.  It's about as simple as it can get.  There is no relevant MAC filtering or ACLs bound to any interface.  Noting that I have an ACL on remote access to the WAP (i.e. Locked down to SSH, disabling telnet).  The main point being that the ASA firewall is not a factor in this problem as the issue is at the WAP before WPA2 authentication can complete, therefore the printers never reach the network / when the printers connect to the WPA network, the operate fully & correctly. 
    If anyone at HP can indicate why this particular config is somehow improper or broken, that would be fantastic.  There should be no reason why Cisco / Meraki WAP owners have to lower wireless encryption standards just for a printer, be forced into wired, create separate SSIDs with lower encryption specifically for a device.

    I get the same behavior with a laserjet m451nw. I need to enable tkip to get the printer working, it doesn't support pure aes-ccm (every other device here supports pure aes-ccm, even cheap ones), although it's advertised as working.

  • Wireless Printers No Longer Connect after BT Infi...

    Hi all,
    I have a very strange issue - a friend of mine has 3 wireless printers installed at home and used to have a BT home Hub 2.0.  They all connected wirelessly without issue and he could print from any computer in the house with the software on.
    Last week he had BT infinity fitted and a new home hub supplied.....he then found he could not connect to his printers and asked me to take a look......I firstly uninstalled all his printer software and went through the installation process again.  While all 3 printers are wireless, 2 connect independantly (via printer console) and one needs to be connected to the computer to undertake wireless conection and set up.
    I installed the 2 printers that could connect wirelessly withouth needing to connect to the PC - I checked the home hub settings and both printers can be seen as connected.  I then installed the software to the computer and when they were trying to "find printer" on the "connect wirelessly" page - it kept saying that it could not find the printer or it could not connect to the printer.
    I thought it may be the computer with the issue so I tried on 2 other computers including my own windows 7 laptop, but while I could see the printer as connected while on the home hub page, I was unable to access the printer when setting up.
    I spent 30 minutes with a technical guy who admitted he did not know the settings for the router and told me to try and switch off the firewall on the router! - I did, it did not work so I swtiched it back on!
    I suspect it is a simple setting issue although seeing the issues online I now have my doubts and wondered if anyone here had an idea before he has to pay for help -
    Thanks in advance
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello,
    Diver9, do you have any more information on the actual problem.
    When you are unable to print:
    1: Can you ping the static IP addresses?
    2: What do the printers network status pages state?
    3: What channel has the Homehub selected? Have you tried fixing the channel to an unused channel (as found by inssider?)
    4: Does the homehub still think the printers are connected? (http://192.168.1.254->Home Network-><Device>)
    I know it is a hassle troubleshooting, but it's sensible to find out what has actually gone wrong. Your experience may help someone in the future or give BT something to look at improving in the next firmware. For example, listing the model of each printer in this post might help. The more information the better.
    I have used a network printer with v1, v1.5, v2a and v3 of the homehub family and haven't experienced any printing problems. I appreciate that I might just be lucky, but your information might help someone.

  • TS1550 What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine

    What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

  • Mifi 4510L Mifi Hotspot...is it the network? and what about the firmware update?

    I have spent several months trying to seek a solution on the repeated and frequent disconnects from the Verizon wireless network using my Mifi 4510 L.  No success.  I have conversed with Verizon Wireless "experts" on this matter and have basically been ignored, since they do not have a solution. It has cost me a pretty penny in wireless costs due to lost connections in downloads, etc...for which I do not get any credit from Verizon on my wireless bill...go figure.
    I have even been accused by Verizon that the problem is my computer and hardware, even though I have ran several hardware, software, and "real-life" connection checks on other wireless networks with no issues at all.  I even have been getting better connectivity when I use my Verizon USB UML290...but I hate having to switch moving my SIM card from the USB Modem to the MIfi4510L...one of these days the SIM card will fail. Verizon has checked the signal strength at my home and work locations (which I already knew as good), but never heard back from them.
    Anyway,  I have verified that my wireless network adapter works just fine on other wireless networks (no dropouts, etc).  I have even upgraded to another Windows Operating System - Windows 7...which is more superior than Vista in dealing with wireless communications.  I have implemented quite a number of the solutions provided by other great Verizon Wireless Community members, but the connectivity problems continue to occur.
    When I did a review of my wireless hardware logs, I noticed that when I was encountering problems, the dynamically assigned address given to me on the Verizon Wireless network changed quite a bit, even when I was using the same web site. When my wireless connection worked fine, the dynamically assigned address was consistent.  This seemed to change when I encounter peak network load times. 
    I would appreciate a straight answer from Verizon Wireless on what is going on with the network.  I live in a solid 3G coverage area...but just far away from 4G to benefit for the increased throughput.  The closest 4G location footprint is about 40 miles away from me.
    Finally, what about the Mifi 4510 L firmware update?  I have yet to see any notification about this firmware update, either through normal e-mail channels or even through my Mifi configuration site
    http://192.168.1.1/mifi.cgi
    What gives?
    I realize that I am sounding a little perturbed about this matter, but it has been almost 4 months now...and Verizon is not living up to their part of the bargain on providing good tech support on the Mifi 4510L.  When they do not have an answer...they ignore the customer.   Not good business!!!

    The firmware update was released a few weeks ago and there were multiple threads in this forum for it:
    Software Update: Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MiFi™ 4510L
    The firmware update primarily addresses a problem with the MiFi switching from 3G to 4G and back.  I would not expect it to resolve a connection issue for anyone in a 3G only area.  Work through the firmware update instructions included in the link above and see if it helps. 
    There were no email notifications but the MiFi should have been redirecting you to the MiFi homepage every time you tried to browse the internet.  The firmware update is mandatory so if you have not already completed the update then there might be something wrong with your device. 

  • Competing wireless printers 6980 and 6100 Photosmart

    I have a Photosmart wireless that was working great and was a dream to install.  Bought my daughter a 6980 which I've tried to install but cannot get network to recognize it..  And I've just realized that the drivers installed for the 6980 have confused the Photosmart - it thinks its the 6980 as that's where test prints have gone.  I believe I now have to reload 6100 on network.  Everything is a mess.  Can I only have one HP wireless on network at one time.  Do I need to connect 6980 directly to my daughter's laptop (VISTA).  I don't think this is a Vista issue - some sort of wireless issue...I think.  Need some advise please!  Thanks.

    THREAD EDITED BY GARENT (ADMIN). Please read past this post for better information in a later post.
    You can have many wireless-printers on your network.  Each one should get it's own print queue and there shouldn't be any interference.  For example, I have six active wireless printers on my home network.
    Let's check a few things.
    What is the IP address of the Photosmart 6100 (can be found by printing the network configuration front the printer's front panel setup menu)?
    What is the IP address of the Deskjet 6980 (can be found by pressing the check-mark button on the printer's front panel)?
    What is the IP address of the Vista laptop and your computer (can be found by executing the ipconfig command from the DOS prompt and looking for the IPv4 address).
    Next, what kind of wireless-router are you using?
    Finally, download and run this tool ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/printers/ndu/HPHNDU_1023.exe from the Vista laptop.  It will search for and display all the printers on your network.  Tell me if the tool finds both of your printers.
    Until we get things sorted out, you should delete the Deskjet printer from the Printers folder (under Vista's Control Panel).  I'm curious if this allows you to print to the 6100 again.  If you can't, turn off the Deskjet and power cycle the Photosmart and tell me if that recovers your ability to print.
    Update 17.Jun.2010:  The network tool is now located here: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

  • Connecting multiple wireless printers

    I need to connect 2 wireless printers.  1st is a multifunction with fax and the 2nd is a multifunction without a fax.  I can get both to print, but the HP connect software for faxing and scanning only shows up for the last printer connected.  I need to be able to select any printer.  Is this possible?

    What is the model no of the Router...?
    What firmware version you are using on the router..?
    Which operating system you are using on your wife's computer...?
    As you are able to connect your wireless computer using WPA Security then,make sure that your wife's computer does support WPA/WPA2 Security..Normally Windows XP does not support that and you have to download the patch for the same.

    Spotlight lists items and shows preview images.  BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
    Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
    Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine:  e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
    Can I make Spotlight show the path?

    Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window.  Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.
