I have two Officejet 6500a's. How do I get them both to work with my laptop?

I now own two Officejet 6500a plus All-in-One printers.  I take my laptop back and forth between where they're located.  I have the driver on my laptop, and it works with one of them, but how do I make it recognize the second one...and also not then fail to recognize the first one?  I'm trying to have both work wirelessly with my laptop.  So far, the second one is connected to the wireless network, but my laptop tells me it's not connected to the printer and can't print.  I'm not sure what to do because the driver is already installed.
My laptop is a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountain Lion, if that's important.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry that you are having a problem with connecting both printers to the network. 
First, you will make sure both printers are on the network through the front panel display screen. 
If you have one already working, name it (Officejet 6500 #1, home, work, etc). The 2nd officejet that is not connecting correctly, you will need to re-download the software on the laptop again. 
DO NOT uninstall, just install the drivers and software from the website or the CD, if you still have it. 
When it ask, how you would like to connect, and you choose wireless, it will search for the printers on the network. Make sure you choose the printer #2 (IP Address). 
You can check for the IP address on the settings on the printer. 
After it downloads and finishes, you can go to the Devices and printers, and change the name to (#2, work, home, etc). 
Even though, its the same software and same printer name, the computer has to distinquish between which is which.

  • I have 2 different iTunes accounts; how do I get them both to sync to my iPhone4? It only allows 1 account.

    I have two personal iTunes accounts and want to conjoin the into one so that I can sync my contents to my iPhone4. So far I can only figure out how to sync with the iTunes account that I have obligated to my iPhone. CAn I conjoin the two accounts so that ALL of my purchases can be put into my phone? If not, how can I get everything from both accounts onto my iPhone4?

    No method for that but you can keep changing the account from the iPhone and it won't delete the apps from the second account

  • In my time line, either the 720 clips or the 1080 will play. How do I get them both to work?

    I have half my film in 1080 and half in 720. I can set my timeline to be in either or, but not both. When it plays 720, the 1080 is scrambled colored snow and vice-a-versa. I found a way to fix this in the help section but I can not navigate back there. I would love some advice.

    The cutaways and titles should be linked above the timeline clips, not below

  • I have two apple Id accounts how do I merge them into one account

    I have two apple Id accounts how do I merge them into one account

    you can't merge Apple ID's
    From the FAQ: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I have two iCloud IDs.  How do I merge them?

    I have two iCloud IDs.  How do I merge them?

    Unfortunately, you cannot merge iCloud accounts.
    You might instead export the data from your contacts and calendars etc from one account to the other.
    Of note, iCloud and iTunes accounts are different accounts whilst you can export data as mentioned previously, from one iCloud to another, you can not transfer purchases made in one iTunes account to another.

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

    Enable iCloud on both, and Calendars on the iPhone should sync with iCal on the Mac wirelessly.

  • Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

    Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
    Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
    If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.

  • HT201272 I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back?

    Hi All,
    I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Clare

    All of  your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
    If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again.

  • Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

    Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
    I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”…  If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
    Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
    Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
    What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

  • My 2 sons have ipods, when they load $$, they both have access to it.  How can I give them both their own accounts?

    My 2 sons have ipods.  When money is loaded, they both have access to it.  How can I get them to have their own accounts so they can't share money?

    They need their own iTunes accounts. You have to be at leasty 13 to create an account and you need a unique email address from them.  They will need the password for the account that purchased app already in order to update those apps.

  • How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
    I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

    I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
    There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
    Thanks!
    Best,
    Tony

  • How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud?

    How do I get my AppleID to work with iCloud? It says that I have a valid ID, but that I can't use it with iCloud...
    How do I fix this?
    Thanks!!

    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.
