I have a lexmark wireless (4650) printer and I can't print from my MacBook Air unless it is connected by the USB

I have a MacBook Air (new) and I am trying to print wirelessly on my Lexmark 4650 - the printer has a wireless connection and will print only if i manually connect the laptop to the printer vis USB - Can anyone help me figure out what else I need to do? 

As you can see here, Mountain Lion does not directly support that model of printer:

    Hello cass528,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Air would not power on.  I recommend following the steps in this article when experiencing an issue like this:

  • Macbook Air 2013 model stopped connecting to the wireless network

    My 2013 MacBook Air has suddenly stopped connecting to my network. It is often intermittent and will kick me off the network if anyone else is connected. I think it is something to do with my Linksys router and the new Apple Airport card.
    Do I need to get a new router and if so do I need the Apple Wireless router?

  • I have a printer (HP LaserJet 2100) connected via ethernet to my wireless router (Netgear) and want to use it from my MacBook Pro.

    However, the print & scan window just allows me to click on 'add', but then eveything is greyed out and the printer is not displayed.
    I was able to connect the printer without any problems to my Linux (Ubuntu) and Windows (Vista) systems and I'm used to having the least problems with Macs up to now.
    I've read about similar problems here and followed the advise, but the problem remains.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks

    For you to "see" the printer in the Default view after you click the plus button to add, the printer would have to support an advertising protocol like Bonjour. For Linux and Vista, you would have added the printer by selecting a protocol and entering the IP address of the printer. You can do the same thing on the Mac. In Print & Scan, after you click the plus button to add, select the IP icon and then enter the IP address of the printer. Change the Protocol menu to HP Jetdirect-Socket (this is called RAW Port 9100 on the other OS's); leave the Queue name blank; change the Name to LaserJet 2100; leave the Location blank and select the supporting model name in the Use menu. Click to Add and then see if you can print.

  • I have a macbook air that is not connecting to the internet correctly.  I've had it connected for three weeks, it went into sleep mode, and will not reconnect.  It will connect to other wireless routers (I've tested it) but not the one at my apartment.

    The problem is not happening with any other device that I have.  My iPad, iPhone and another laptop all connect fine.  In fact, it's not even the connection.  The computer will connect to the net.  It just will not open any page.  It starts to open and then hangs and hangs.  It will not move.  Weird since it worked great for three weeks and then all of the sudden, nothing.  Click on Safari and I have short hope that it will move and NOTHING!  Any thoughts why it would hang up like this and only with this specific network? 

    This is a known Lion issue, hopefully solved in 10.7.3. But may not be solved immediatly after updating, that was my case.
    To make it work i followed those steps.
    1.- Restart
    2.- Lion 10.7.2 Update
    3.- Uninstall netwokrs
    4.- Shut down
    5.- SMC reset
    6.- Reinstall networks
    I dont know whether all the above steps are necessary, but for me the update didn't work properly before SMC reset. (I am running a MBA mid2011)
    Hope it helps,
    Cheers

  • I recently purchased an Onkyo stereo receiver with a wireless USB adapter, UWF-1, and want to stream audio from my MacBook Pro through my stereo system. The receiver tells me it is connected to my wireless LAN, but I cannot get music to play?

    New to the community here, thanks for your patience.  I recently purchased an Onkyo TX-8050 Network Stereo Receiver with the UWF-1 USB adapter with the intent to stream audio from my MacBook Pro to the stereo. I have gone through the setup instructions for the adapter and the receiver gives me a message saying that it is connected to the password protected network, but that is as far as I can get.
    I have gone into iTunes and clicked on the "Open Stream" option, but I just get a pop up box labeled "URL" that is empty. I have Home Sharing turned on and File Sharing turned on, but I am not seeing the receiver in my Finder window or as a iTunes device.
    I would appreciate any and all advice and assistance.
    Thanks so much.

    So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
    Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
    Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

  • HT1689 I bought an app on my iphone, and want to use it on my MacBook Air.  When I click on the icon on the MacBook, it won't open.  Do I have to buy the same app again for my MacBook Air?

    I bought a real estate app on my iphone.  I want to use it on my MacBook Air because of the larger screen.  I see the icon in my Itunes account, and when I click it to open it, it won't do anything.  Do I have to purchase the app again to use on my MacBook Air.  Thanks!

    The app you got only works with iPhones, iPods touch and iPads, but not with Macs. That's because Macs use a different operating system that requires different applications, so you have to purchase the application for the Mac

  • Will I be able to completely remotely control and access my Office Mac from my Macbook Air at home?

    I am in a bit of a dilemma and need some help from the community.  I have a Mac Mini running 16GB Ram 2.3 I7  and 1 TB Fusion Drive at my office, it is in Parrallels Coherence mode 100% of the time.   I have to run certain Windows apps from home.  I am setting my routers at the office to accept NAT-PMP, or Plug and Play so that I can access them.
    I have two questions:
    1.  Will I be able to use back to my mac, or screen share to completely operate and share my mac mini with a new mac book air?
    2.  I am buying a new MacBook Air, I am under the assumption that I can get the 13" 4gb, I5, with 256 GB and I should be able to quickly access and handle all basic remote access, iphoto stuff and some i movie stuff occassionally.
    Am I correct in these assumptions?  Any recommendations?
    I do have IPAD apps that can also access two of the three windows apps that are critical to my company, but really need a traditional computer with mouse to run them effectively remotely.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    John

    Yes to both, as long as the Mini is running Mountain Lion or later OS you can use Back to My Mac and Screen Sharing. It will be as though you are seated at the remote Mac. Connections and speed will be determined by Internet conditions.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Share your screen using Back to My Mac
    It's pretty seamless. Copying files for example is a simple matter of dragging them to or from the Screen Sharing window. If you have multiple users on the Mini you can log in remotely as any user for which you have access, or share the screen interactively with a user's consent.
    The only uncertainties are your router, but according to Apple all that should be required is to enable NAT-PMP or UPnP.
    I use Apple routers, to eliminate any uncertainty.

  • I've gotten my past work colleague's phone, and I can't start my account fresh his account is still connected to the phone. I can't contact him anymore, is there a way I can get rid of his account?

    I have recieved an iPhone 5 from my work colleague who now does not work for us anymore, therefore I do not know how to contact with him to ask him to disconnect his account. This makes it a problem because I can not access the phone because the phone still reconginzes the past owner. I went to a tech place however they said asking Apple was the only way. Is there a way to fix this?

    If you cannot contact the previous owner you will not be able to reactivate and use the phone. They either have to provide the ID and password that were used to originally activate the phone, or erase it and remove it from their account as explained here:http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.  There is no way around this.

  • My laxmark wifi printer and iPad2 can't get married, what to do?

    My laxmark wifi printer and iPad2 can't get married, what to do?

    Is it one of the Lexmark printers that support AirPrint ? Those that do support it are listed on this page - there is also a bit of troubleshooting on that page. If it's not an AirPrint printer then have Lexmark got an app that supports your model ? If they haven't then there are third-party printer apps such as Print Central For iPad and Print n Share which might work with it.

  • 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.
    View Solution.

    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.
