I can't connect my HP office jet J4680 printer to my Macbook Air

My HP OfficeJet J4680 printer won't connect with my printer via USB. When I try to add it through system preferences it doesn't appear. It says I have no softwear to update so I'm not too sure what to do. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Here are a few ideas:
1. Make sure the SSID is being broadcast.
2. Make sure that DHCP is active.
3. Do not use MAC filtering (it is not a good security measure, anyway).
4. Change the router channel to 11.

  • Can I connect a monitor with built in speakers to my macbook air?

    Can I connect a monitor with built-in speakers to my macbook air?  What would you suggest in the 22" - 24" size for everyday use?

    If you say that there is built in speakers. Most probably the connection is HDMi. You will need an adapter to connect the MacBook Air to the monitor through HDMI, at the same time, the adapter needs to support video and AUDIO.

    printing to a non-airprinter from an iPad
    To print from the iPad, your going to have to install some more software:
    -- install a printer app on the ipad. many printer makers have iPad applications for their printers.  Look in the app store
    -- install enabling software on a computer which you have connected the printer

  • Can I use my epson sx425w stylus wireless printer with my macbook air?? if so how do I link it as Im struggling to get it connected wirelessly

    Ive recently bought a macbook air and have an epson sx425w wireless printer which has been excellent
    when used with my previous laptop and im reluctant to purchase another when its in perfect
    working order, I just cant seem to link it to my macbook for some reason, I cant find my instruction
    manual for the printer but do remember it was fairly straight forward linking it to my lap top
    before?!
    hoping someones had similiar problem and has a resoloution !! help please

    I checked the Epson (U.S.)  website, and found nothing at all about this model printer - no support, drivers, etc.
    I also checked Apple's websites, and found they do offer support for the SX420W.
    Maybe this will solve it:

  • Cant set up my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

    Can't set my HP office jet 8600 printer with my iPad mini

    That is not an AirPrint supported printer. Check for compatibility here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356
    Check the App Store for an HP app that may provide limited printing functionality. Alternatively, you can use your computer as a wireless print server using an app like Printopia. Note that your computer must be on and able to print for this solution to work.

  • My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause. I do not have an admin name or password as it is a wireless printer and I never had to set one up.  It keeps asking me for admin name and password...

    My HP office jet 6500 printer is stuck on pause.  I do not have an admin name or password that it keeps prompting me to give, as it is a wireless printer and that info was not required when we set up the printer.  I have checked all diagnostics and connections and they are all good/passed.  I am so frustrated!!!    This has never happened in the past.

    What is asking you for an admin name and password? What does the dialog say, exactly?
    What model iMac are you using, and which OS version?
    If it is earlier than Lion or Snow Leopard, try deleting the printer and adding it again as explained in this document

    Otherwise you can "reset the printing system" as explained here

    dawie,
    Here is a link to a post that has some good information on mirror image printing and what has worked for some other people. You should be able to go to Control Panel>Printers>right click on printer>Properties>under General tab click Printing Preferences>under Advanced Tab click Mirror Image ON. However, like i said others have had some issues with this. Hopefully you will find the link below helpful.

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

    Hi,
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
    This question was solved.

    Hello boojoo1tw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
    If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

    How can I get an HP Deskjet 3050 to work on a macbook air OS Maverick 10.9.5?

    Ok here is a good link Re: how do i setup/connect to my wireless printer I assume the printer is wirless if so this should work. First turn the printer on then go into system preferences and then printers and scanners. It should look for the printer that is on the same wifi as you and then just set it up.
