I am trying to print from my macbook pro to my printer ricoh mp 2851?

So i can connect my printer and everything is successful, but when i try to print out something it keeps saying the job is paused. Why is that? I NEED HELP!!!!

The information below will help you troubleshoot your printing issue. If the printer is not showing up in the Printer and Scanner preferences, you may need to add it again.
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18613
Replace a corrupted printer queue window
Open Printers & Scanners preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences > Printer & Scanner preferences), then delete and set up your printer again.
If you still can’t print, reset the printing system.
I hope this information helps ....

How do you setup a canon mp620 to print from a Macbook Pro?

How can i print from my MacBook Pro with a canon mp620 printer? I have the printer setup with a PC via USB and want to add the MacBook as a new computer and print wirelessly. I have tried the installation cd and updated drivers from canon website but it still wont work.

I have managed to get my working. Firstly, I googled the CUPS drivers for the printer and then downloaded those from canons website. I then went to print and scan in system preferences and noticed that the printer had appeared there. I believe it was those drivers that made the difference but i was fiddling for hours before that so i cant be 100% sure how i got it to work.

Hi can anyone help me? I am having trouble printing from my macbook pro to my brother printer. It worked fine yesterday but now its dissapeared from my options to print.

I have tried plugging in an eternet (blue) cable from the printer to the wireless router, but i dont know how to make my macbook find the wireless printer!
If your printer is like my Canon printer, you'll have to do as Bob suggests - use the Setup on the LCD panel of your printer to set up wifi. Pretty easy with my Canon PIXMA MG8220...

How do I use AirPort Extreme to be able print from my MacBook Pro AND a PC. If I connect printer into AirPort, I can only print on laptop. If printer is connected to PC hard drive, I can only print on desk top. How do I configure this to make both print?

If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

You will need to install an App like Print Central on the iPad to try to print to the printer. It will allow you to print to most printers. Check with their support folks if you need more info.

Printing from a MacBook Pro ???

Hi. Is there a way to print from a MacBook pro to a non-wireless compatible printer without having a direct usb connection??? Hope that makes sense. I heard something about using a Time Capsule or air port of some sort but have no idea what that means. New to Mac. Any help v. much appreciated

The information you posted is slightly incorrect, the Airport Express does not provide a USB port for a printer, the Extreme and the TC do.
Oh
There is a new version of the Express which does appear to have a USB port, apologies.

Printing from a macbook pro to an HP psc 2355 printer

I need helping printing from a macbook pro to an hp psc 2355 printer. The printer is connected to a pc which runs Windows Vista. The pc is connected to a wireless router (so the PC has to be on to print). Hope this is simple!

You could start by resetting your printing system and then see if the computer sees the printer. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/14001.html
Is your wireless network protected by a password? Does it have a name?
I have a wireless HP AIO that I connect thru my wireless router. In other words the wireless router is the hub for the printer so the three notebooks and iTouch can print to it from anywhere in the area.

When trying to Airplay from my Macbook Pro Retina, to AppleTv3 it plays for only a few minutes, and then jumps back to the Mac. It seems to do this no matter what I play, music, movies or pictures. I just bought a new router. This could affect it

I have been playing whole movies before from VLC without problems.

How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray? I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

How can I print from my MacBook Pro to Canon MP560 using rear tray? I can't find that "option" in the print selection possibilities.

Sure can.
With a document open in Pages, select to print so that you can see the print dialog as shown below.
Note that to see this view, you may need to press the Show Details button in the bottom left corner. In the image above, since I have the expanded view displayed, this button changes to Hide Details
So with the view shown, first change the Presets menu to Default Settings. Then click the Layout drop menu and select Quality & Media. Make the changes you want and then click on the Presets menu and select Save Current Settings as Preset...
At the next window, give the Preset a name and select the Only this Printer radio button and then click OK to save it. That's it.
As for the Preset that you already have, if you no longer want this preset then you can delete it via the Show Presets menu pane that you've used already.

No longer able to print from wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280

I originally piggy-backed this onto an existing thread thinking that it was the same issue. It looks like it was something else now, so I figured I probably ought to spin this off onto its own thread.
Details:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, IP address 192.168.1.5 (confirmed with Network Menu > View Network Settings > Display Wired Summary)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
Desktop: iMac with Mac OS 10.5.8, Ethernet connection. I originally installed the HP software from the CD when we got the 7280 a few years ago, but we've probably upgraded it since then.
My Laptop: MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8, wireless connection. I think the HP software was originally downloaded from hp.com (as opposed to the original CD).
Wife's Laptop: MacBook with Mac OS 10.6.3, wireless connection. HP software downloaded from hp.com.
We've been able to print from the laptops to the 7280 until several days ago. After that, anything sent from the laptops stayed on the printer queue without any reaction from the printer, even after the usual tricks (cycling power on printers, holding and unholding jobs, pausing and unpausing printers, etc.)
Our laptops seem to lose the wireless connection a bit more frequently than normal, and at first I thought that was the problem. Lately, however, I can't get anything to print even when the wireless connection stays solid. I can print from the iMac, though.
As noted above, my wife's MacBook has 10.6.3, so I'll try the instructions on other threads for uninstalling the HP software and using the built-in 10.6 drivers. If I can pry the MacBook away from my wife long enough :-)
Meanwhile, I've been trying to troubleshoot my own MacBook Pro. I can ping 192.168.1.5, and I can pull up the printer's web page by entering "192.168.1.5" in my web browser.
So I followed the instructions here:

(title: Mac OS X: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue and Will Not Print on a Networked Product)
I followed Solution 1 (Delete and readd printer) until I got to steps 7 and 8. The printer wasn't automatically added to the Printers list, so I clicked the Add button, but wasn't able to select my printer from the list. Some of the information in Solution 2 seemed to hint that I had a connectivity problem, and suggested that I look for network connectivity solutions. Unfortunately, all of the network connectivity FAQs referred to Windows-specific utilities, so I decided to uninstall the HP software (using HP Uninstaller). I downloaded HP_Installer_PSC7200_v9.7.1.dmg from hp.com and ran it, but here's what happened:
At the Select Device step, no devices appeared even though the printer was powered up and on the network. (As noted earlier, I can ping it.) I checked "My device is not listed" and clicked Continue; when "Photosmart C7200 series" appeared, I selected it.
At the "Select the Device Connection" subset, I selected "Network." (The "device" in this question is the printer--right?)
I went through the Install step.
No device was listed at the Setup step. I handled this the same way as the Select Device step ("My device is not listed", Continue, click "Photosmart C7200 series", Continue, select "Network", Continue.
This time, I got this dialog: "If your device is not listed, it is not supported by this installer. Please visit www.hp.com/support to download an installer, if one is available" even though this was the correct installer for C7200 and Mac 10.5.
Am I overlooking something? What should I try next?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.

Printing from a Macbook pro using ePrint.

Would like to print to an HP printer (ePrint) from my Macbook Pro. I followed the instructions to download the software, started installation and received a message telling me to close the HP LaserJet Professional Utility. Unfortunately, I cannot close this utility and now cannot stop the install. HELP!

Hi @vikimac
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you have encountered an error when trying to install a HP LaserJet printer driver onto your MacBook.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information?
What model and product number of HP LaserJet do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
How is the printer currently connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)? Please note that not all HP printers support all methods of connectivity.
What version of Mac OS X are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
In the meantime please try Force Quitting the installation and then please restart your MacBook. That should allow you continue using your MacBook while we figure out what is occurring with the installation.

Trouble printing from a MacBook to a network printer wirelessly

I have a Samsung printer connected to a Windows 7 machine and am attempting to print from a MacBook. I try the usual AdvancedWindows+SMB-addressShare-name technique. When I go to print, the MB asks for My Username and password for the W7 box. Upon entering the information, I receive an NTSTATUS_CONNECTIONREFUSED message and no printing takes place.
Curiously, a Mac mini (10.5.8 also) which is connected to the network by wire (the MB is connected wirelessly) prints just fine to the same printer using the same configuration.
Does Anyone have any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue? Can Anyone point Me in the direction of documentation which could help?
Thanks in advance.

I figured out the answer using this excellent Web page: http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3000.html.
The problem was that when I used the "Wizard" on the PC to install the shared printer, it picked the Deskjet driver by default. But the iMac needs to get the printer data in Postscript, which its own driver then translates into Deskjet speak. So after creating the printer on the Thinkpad I had to go into its Properties and change to the Apple Color Laserwriter driver.
