I cannot get my HP 6600 to print in color from my new macbook pro.

Does anyone know how to help me get my Macbook Pro to print to my HP Officejet 6600 in color? I am new to MAC computers and am sure it's just a setting I need to change. I know it is not a printer problem as it prints color from the same webpage from my PC desktop. Thanks.

bamajim,
Here is a link to a page for your printer that may help with your issue.
The document provides steps to troubleshoot printouts that do not match the screen while printing from the web.
Does this also happen when printing graphics from somewhere other than the web ?
Once you give these steps a try let us know what happens.

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

Office Jet 4500 G510n Printer Ready but error comes up in status

I have a Office Jet 4500 G510n and a MacBook Pro 15 late 2006 Model 2, Ver 10.6.8
I upgraded the HD to a SSD and everything works find except the printer. I can go to Utility and the TEST PAGE prints OK.
However, on STATUS it reads: "error/library/Printers/hp/cups/inkjet1.driver/contents/macos/injet/failed
I have checked on drivers and all I saw were for the "extra Page" ...
Lost!!!!

From research on this HP Support site, I found that in Mac OSX they auto download updates for printing. Did not think about transfering my old HD to a SSD that those updates would follow... they did not. So... I downloaded all the updates (driver)to my new SSD and the HP Printer works!

HT202380 Can I use a back drive that I had on my PC on my new Macbook Air? Or do I need to purchase a new backup drive?

Can I use my back drive from my PC with my new Macbook Air and Time Machine? Or do I need to get a whole new back up external hard drive?

You should be able to use a drive that was previously used with a PC. You will likely need to reformat it. Note the following quote from Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Your Time Machine drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled). If you select an NTFS or FAT-formatted drive, Time Machine prompts you to reformat the drive. Important: Reformatting erases any files on the destination drive. If you're not sure if you want to erase the drive you connected, choose a different drive.
The following gives instructions on how to reformat to Mac OS X Extended. It refers to Aperture but the instructions would be the same: Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture - Apple Support

HT3924 I can't get my iMac 27" 2009 Mini DisplayPort to work as external monitor for Macbook Air Thunderbolt...

I am using a Mini DisplayPort Cable from iLuv as the connector between them. Upon connecting the cable or hitting Command/F2 on the iMac, the iMac will go blue followed by the Macbook Air, then both will flicker and usually the iMac reverts back to its native screen and NOT display the Air's. Or sometimes the iMac will go black while the Macbook Air becomes very slow and choppy, and while selecting the Gather Windows option in the display window in Settings will show the Imac display window, I can't really do anything with it. I even tried switching the ends of the cable to see if that would help, but it didn't. Advice?

Welcome to the wonderful world of copy protection.
Your display may not be on the "approved" list, or was removed from it.
Apple's Mac lines includes a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Among the connectors supported by the technology are the Mini DisplayPort found on Apple's latest Macs, in addition to others such as Digital Visual Interface (DVI), High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI), Gigabit Video Interface (GVIF), and Unified Display Interface (UDI).
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content (and some DVDs) to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
The problem can often be solved by using an HDMI to Component Video adapter. Many believe that Component Video will give you a better HD picture than HDMI without any of the hassles of HDCP.
Generally try to avoid using HDMI. When able, use Component Video. With Component Video you get full HD quality and you will never have HDCP hassles (which of course is why Hollywood wants to ban it).
However sometimes a display can be HDCP certified and then later be removed from the certified list. So purchasing a new display may not be a permanent solution.

Can't get my RAW images to open up in elements 9 from my new 5d mark 3 Camera!

I never had problems opening my RAW images from Canon 5d Mark2 but for some reason, they won't open from my new canon 5d mark 3 camera. A pop up box comes up that says, cannot open file "........." because it is the wrong type of file. Can anyone help as to what I can do???

Hi,
The 5D mark III requires ACR 6.7 or higher - PSE 9 can only goes as far as ACR 6.5.
You need to update to a newer version of PSE or use the free DNG converter to turn the CR2 files into DNGs which can then be read by PSE9.

Can I use the migration assistant to migrate my Mac Book Pro to my new MacBook Air. Is there any problem with this since the platforms are not identical?

I have Mac Book Pro ( bought November 2010) that I want to migrate all of the data and applications from, over to a new Mac Book Air? It was suggested that I use the Migration Tool as it is supposed to make an exact clone of the Mac Book Pro machine and put it on the Mac Boor Air. Can that really work if you are going from one platform to another?
I was also told I could restore the data from my time capsule to the MacBook Air.
I'm looking for the easiest method that will leave me with as little to do as possible to get up an running on the Mac Book Air afterwards. I'm not a real strong user and don't want to have to reconfigure applications to make them work.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Connecting your MacBook Pro and your MacBook Air will be the fastest way, but you have to spend money on cables and adapters (also, your MacBook Pro doesn't support Thunderbolt).
As you have a Time Capsule, one thing you can do is to start your MacBook Pro and make a Time Machine backup. Then, turn on your MacBook Air and set it up. Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so select the option to restore the backup from the Time Capsule and be patient. This can take a lot of time if you have to migrate a lot of files
