I loaded wireless printer, an HP, to macBook pro but not printing, Why?

I bought a new HP Office Jet 8600 witeless printer, following directions, I loaded it onto to my notebook.  My mac seems to recognize the printer but ir not printing.  I have a dell desktop and HP laptop to which I also loaded the primter to and they both work but my apple MacBook does not.

Yep, I believe you have not gone thru the proper steps to create a printer instance on your Mac and/or don't have the latest round of HP drivers as distributed by Apple via Software Update.
We recently got a 5200tn LaserJet and I was able to fully access all its features in less than 5 minutes. Even got a full configuration utility from where I can set up all the printer's featues as a bonus. All contained as part of the OS, did not have to download anything from HP or even get the install CD that came with the printer out of its bag.

  • I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD?

    I keep getting kicked off of my wifi with my MacBook Pro but not with my IPAD, what do I do?

    Hi, mmayers.
    Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing.  However, the issue could be a little more complex.  Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology.  Below, I have included two articles.  The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting.  The second article covers the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

  • This is the same question I've asked 3x in 24 hours, but it doesn't appear in the listing. Maybe I need help in phrasing questions?:)Q. why can I play some DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not on desk top Apple (they're both -1 year olds

    Hi
    This'll be my third attempt in 24 hrs to ask the same question. maybe I need guidance on phrasing questions?:)
    Q. Why can I always play DVDs on my MacBook Pro but not always on my desk top Apple. They're both less than  year old. The desk top sometimes displays a message that says I have to change regions (from Australia to South America...doh...)

    Region Code 4:
    Mexico, Central and South America, and the South Pacific.
    Includes Antigua and Barbuda, Argentina, Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Falkland Islands, French Guiana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, New Guinea, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Venezuela
    Apparently my first response was off in left field.  The DVD player has its own code.  My recommendation is to change the code when it asks.  It is possible that the disks that play correctly are region-free and the ones that don't have a region code.  If this does not work, you still have four more changes available; you won't be stuck with the new code.

  • Printing wireless via Macbook Pro but not via iPad

    I was able to install, print my HP Deskjet InkAdvantage 3515 from my Macbook Pro but when tried printing using my iPad, AirPrint printer not available.  How come? Did set-up wireless config in printer too.

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds
    3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds
    4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

  • Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update

    Canon printer WORKS in MacBook Pro but now NOT in Chrome/ iPhone 6 after iOS 8 update. The printer worked previously with NO PROBLEMS. The printer is online & connected to the WiFi, not issues.
    WHY???!!!???

    You probably would get better answers in either the iPhone or iOS forums. This is for Macbooks. I've asked the hosts to move it.

  • .osx file extension works on MacBook Pro but not Mac Pro

    So I have a file that was created, I believe in Macromedia Flash (not certain) but it has a .osx extension on it. It works just fine on my MacBook Pro, but won't work on a Mac Pro. Both have Leopard, both have most of the same software on them... Can anybody offer any help?

    jaypie77,
    First, you must identify the application that created the file. If it truly was Macromedia Flash, fine. Once you know which app created the file, make certain that the same application exists on the Mac Pro. If it does, set the file to open in that application: Open a Getinfo window for the file, then use the "Open With..." dialogue to choose Macromedia Flash (or the correct application) to open the file.

  • USB Card reader works on MacBook Pro but not Mac Pro

    I have a random "All-in-1" card reader from Quantaray. I'm trying to mount my CF card because it takes forever and a day to import HD video directly from my Canon 5D Mk II.
    It works on my MacBook Pro (Mid 2010). Both computers are running 10.6.8. All I have to do is plug it in and it appears on the desktop on my Macbook. But not on my Mac Pro.
    I've already tried resetting the PRAM and SMC. No dice
    It shows up in the System Profiler under the USB High Speed port as a usb card reader but I can't find it anywhere; not even in Disk Utility.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • Wireless works on MacBook Pro but not iBook

    Hi, all:
    I have wireless set up in my home via a Negear router, and all is well when I connect with my MacBook Pro. I have a family member staying with me who has an older iBook running OS 10.3.9 with a wireless card installed, and her wireless connection works fine everywhere else but my house. I have a password to access my wireless connection here at home, but she keeps getting the error message "That is the wrong password" when I know it is the correct one.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!!
    ~Chris

    Yes, thank you!
    First, here is the link for the Reference and Setup manuals for this router.
    Second, to disable wireless security, select the "None" option. (ref: pg. 3-6 of the Reference Manual)
    To re-enable wireless security, select the "WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES)" option.

  • Airport Express Printer Works with Macbook Pro, but not on Macbook

    We have two Macs -- a Macbook Pro, and a Macbook. Both are connected to an Airport Express, and can access the internet and control Airtunes without any issue. However, only the Macbook Pro can print to the Aiport Express connected printer -- a Canon ip3500.
    When I go to system preferences to add the printer on the Macbook, the printer is available, and it allows me to add it. However, the location of the printer and the driver( or at least the driver number) are different, even though it is pre-populated by the computer itself.
    Once the printer shows as being installed, I can print to that printer, but the job is automatically "Stopped" in the status. I cannot restart the job, it just stalls out.
    When the printer is connected via USB, the Macbook can print to it without issue. It can also print to it via bonjour if I share the printer from the Macbook Pro.
    Anyone else having similar issues? Any suggestions on how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

    Try creating a new location in the network settings. Then select Network port configurations and drag Airport to the top of the list. Uncheck any unused connection types such as built-in modem and Bluetooth.

  • Wireless keyboard initially works with macbook pro, but then freaks out!

    i just started using a wireless keyboard and wireless mouse with my 2-year old macbook pro, and while it all initially pairs up and works fine, after about 10 minutes weird things start happening.....like the tilda button seems to suddenly get stuck and repeats itself until i push it down, or my browser windows starts jumping to fill the screen. it still keeps working, but the freaking out on my screen gets worse.
    i first unpaired first the keyboard and then the mouse to see which was causing the problem, and it seems to be the keyboard that's the culprit. the battery level seems to be fine, and as i said it seems to be paired correctly when i double check it under bluetooth in sys pref. also checked the keyboard viewer in sys pref and that seems to be working ok. i've done some searching on apple support and in discussions but can't find any similar situation. (also couldn't find a discussions category for keyboard, or would have posted this there)
    i would greatly appreciate anyone's thoughts/suggestions on this!

    I am having a similar problem with the wireless keyboard. Initially it will work, but then I'll come home and my computer speakers will be beeping because the wireless keyboard is trying to type something from across the room. Additionally, when I try to use my regular onboard keyboard when this happens, its impossible because the wireless keyboard is constantly typing something. My only way around this is to turn off wireless keyboard and only turn it on when I need it. Please post back with your results. Any ideas of how I can fix this?
