I am having difficulty installing my IP Printer onto my macbook pro.

I am having difficulty installing my IP Printer onto my macbook pro.
I have gone on system preferences and then on to add printer and put in my wireless IP address - which my printer is on, and the name of the printer but I dont think my mac is finding it.  As when I go to print using that printer there is an exclamation mark in a triange in front of its name and it says the printer is busy when it isnt.
This printer is also installed on my other windows desktops as an ip printer and it works perfectly fine I am just very confused why it wont connect to my laptop and Im not sure what I am doing wrong. I have just been typing the name of the printer in in the format it is on my windows desktops
e.g. \\MASTER\Brother HL-2130series
     and
      FX Document Centre 236 PCL 6
Please help I am so confused!

Generally speaking, for IP printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly, you go to system preferences > Print & Scan, and click the + (plus) button. Most of the time the printer is found automatically.
If that doesn't work, click the IP pane, select "Line Printer Daemon", supply the printer's IP address, the queue name (usually this is optional), the name you would like to give the printer, its location (optional). For "print using", click "select printer software" and scroll throught until you find the appropriate driver.
When you are done it ought to look something like this:

  • Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro?

    Is anyone having trouble installing Adobe flash player on a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5?

    Thanks for your help here is what I did so far!
    I have uninstalled Adobe and reinstalled it, I've tried restarting my browser, then my MacBook Pro without any success!
    When I click on the Apple in the upper left hand corner and open System Preferences I can see Adobe Flash Player on the bottom under the Other section.
    If I open Adobe up and check the version it tells me that I have the most recent version!
    I even uninstalled Adobe and installed the newest Beta version, but Adobe is still not working! If I check for the latest version it tells me that I do have the latest beta version, but it still doesn't work!
    If the person who made the video used any other video player it works!
    Their player, plays the video without a problem!

    You need to tell us exactly what messages you are seeing.
    You posted this in the OSX 10.4 forum but your computer profile says you are running OSX 10.6.8  Which system version you are running makes a big difference.

  • How do you install Photoshop 5.0 onto the Macbook Pro?

    so i've been trying to install the photoshop elements 5.0 for about a weeeek now...lol & this thing still isnt working! i'm really gettin angry! jk. but i'm serious tho, how do you install this onto the macbook pro?

    OK seriously, I did not want to make you feel stupid, it was in fact the first thing that came to my mind. Now, if you got something from Costco, there is probably a box or a CD with it, which should tell you whether it is a PC version or a Mac version. These apps usually come with items like a camera or maybe a scanner included. Please take the time and check what you got. If there is nothing on the disk telling you it's a Mac-version, youprobably got the wrong thing.
    The Mac version is available via Adobe's website, just look for Photoshop Elements 9, that's the current version. There even is a trial available.

  • Trying to install CS5 Master Collection onto a macbook pro with no disk drive.

    I would like to install my cs5 master collection onto my macbook pro, however it does not have a disk drive...instead, it's an air drive. Does anyone know if there is any way to download these applications without the disks? I attempted to contact customer service, but apparently adobe does not offer customer support for versions below CS6 (which is unbelievable to me). Thanks.

    Download the trial version from http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    Follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first BEFORE you click the download links.
    Install the trial then enter your serial number to license it.

  • I am having trouble installing the Sims 3 on my macbook pro.

    When I try to install the Sims 3 base game, the installer comes up as it should... but when I try to proceed a message comes up saying the power pc application is no longer supported. My macbook runs on the OS x mavericks operating system, does this system not support the Sims? Someone help please!

    Either the installer or the game, or both, are written for Apple's pre-Intel machines. If I were you, I would contact Electronic Arts and see if there is an update to the version that you have.

  • Can't install Mac OS 9 onto my Macbook Pro

    Hi, I got my MacBook Pro about 3 weeks ago.
    I bought this game that would run either on Mac OS 9 or in OSX Classic Mode.
    So I checked the forum and internet on how to use my mac in Classic environment. I tried lots of stuff, and I happened to find old OS 9 Installation disk that my father used. I tried installing it on mac, and it keeps saying 'program is not supported on this system'.
    I also tried booting in CD, but it wouldn't work too.
    My MacBook Pro has Mac OS X 10.4.7 (I believe it's Tiger).
    Can anyone tell me how to run my MacBook on classic environment?
    thanks!

    Hi, Kathryne -
    No, unfortunately partitioning the hard drive will not change anything. It is not a matter of hard drive formatting, or space. It is that the Intel processor is much different than the previous Motorola processors used, and that Apple has not included any software in OSX to interface between Classic and the Intel processor.
    Previously, all G5, G4, and G3 processors could use Classic under OSX; most G4 and all G3 processors could use OS 9 as a boot OS, but no G5 processor could.
    Apple announced the end of support for OS 9 several years ago, about midway in the development of the G4 models. Support for OS 9 as a bootable OS continued for a while - all G4 tower models can boot to some version of OS 9 except for those with a firewire 800 port. With the advent of the G5 models OS 9 was relegated to use as Classic only; no G5 can use OS 9 as a boot OS. The next major generational change in Macs, the switch to using Intel processors, eliminated OS 9 and Classic completely as far as Apple is concerned.
    Whether or not there will continue to be 3rd party development of emulators such as SheepShaver is up to software designers other than Apple.

  • I'm having troubles installing 10.6.3 on my Macbook Pro, PLEASE HELP

    I'm getting the error that seems to happen to a lot of people: "(volume name)" can't be used because it doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme.
    When I go to change the Volume Scheme in Disk Utility it's grayed out and says Current, and the Options button is also grayed out, so I can't touch either.
    So I try to boot the machine using the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 disc by holding the "c" key during start-up (bong sound) and it spits the disc out and boots normally... is the SL disc not a boot disc as well? I don't care if i have to format the hard drive, I just want it to work with the newer operating system(s). I'm just worried I'll format my hard drive, go to boot with the disc, and it'll pop it out again.
    Please help. I'm losing hours at work trying to get this thing updated to Mavericks via Snow Leopard

    Do a backup before proceeding.
    Try putting the 10.6.3 disk in the computer. During a restart, hold down the option/alt key, select the disk, and see if you can boot from there. If so, select the language, then go to the Utilities menu, and select Disk Utility. Check to see what partition scheme you have by selecting the hard drive.
    If you don't have GUID, you are going to need to erase the drive and reformat, which will cause you to lose all your data. Did I mention doing a backup?
    If you do have GUID, run Disk Utility repair disk and repair permissions. You may have to do this more than once. Then try in install 10.6.3.
    If successful, use the combo update to get to 10.6.8 and then run Software update until there are no more updates.

  • Trouble setting up wireless printing between my Macbook Pro w. Mountain Lion 10.8.1 and my HP C4780 Printer

    Hi all,
    I'm having a frustrating problem trying to set up the wireless printing between my Macbook Pro 13" to my HP C4780 printer. I had no problem installing and configuring this before on my previous computer, a Macbook. However, when I got my new computer (the Macbook Pro), my wireless network wont show up when I try and install the wireless capability during the printer setup. I had to buy a new router and set up a new network around the time I got my new computer, so I wonder if this has something to do with it. My wireless network is a WPA/WPA2 personal, but so was my old wireless network with the old router and I didn't have a problem installing the wireless. I thought I might not have had the most up-to-date driver for the printer software, but I do. So, i'm stuck! Any thoughts??

    Go here and download all the manuals and read them on how to set up your printer.
