Is there an easy way to print wirelessly?

Hi All!
So I have a MBP running leopard. And i have an HP 2400 photosmart printer. I have no problem plugging the cord in and printing, but I was wondering if there was an easy to do this wirelessly. It would be so much easier, because I usually work downstairs and my printer is upstairs and there is no place to move the printer downstairs. Any help you guys could give me would be great!
Thanks!

Unless your router has a built-in USB print server, or you connect a printer to the network by using an ethernet port, or you buy a printer with a built-in wireless card, or you share your printer from another computer that's connected to the network, you will need to have some sort of way to address your printer.
Wireless printing can mean a couple of different things. Printing from a computer that connects to the network wirelessly, printing to a printer that connects to the network wirelessly, or any of a half a dozen combinations.
It boils down to what is already available to you, how much you want to spend, where you want the printer to be located on the network, etc.

  • Officejet 8600 is there an easy way to print in color occasional​ly?

    I have an HP Officejet 8600 connected by cable to an un-networked desktop running Windows 7 Pro. I have the default set to  "Print in Gray Scale" with "Black Ink Only". I would like an easy way to occasionally print in color without the multi-step hassle of going through advanced options that also change the default parameters each time. Is there a way to install a second driver for the same printer? That way I could name one "HP 8600 Black Ink" and one "HP 8600 Color" with different default settings. That would be a much easier way to occasionally print in color. My previous HP printer had the capability to select custom "Presets" from a drop-down menu, but that seems to be missing from the 8600 software.

    Hello there @SKman , Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I understand you are looking for an easier way to occasionally print in color with your Officejet 8600. I would like to share my suggestions that may help you with your concern.
    First of all, you can have two drivers installed on your computer, one USB and one wireless, and have the driver settings different (wireless driver to print black only and the USB driver to print in color).
    The other option for you to try is to have your "black ink only" setting selected in the print driver itself (seems like you have it set this way currently) so all jobs will automatically print in black ink only. When say you are printing a document in color, change the print settings in the program you are printing from to print in color for that single job, that way the default settings in the printer driver are still set to print in black and only that one job will print in color.
    I hope my post was helpful!

  • Is there an easy way to print a PDF in B/W in Lion?

    I would very much like to print in black and white to save ink (I hate printing). Is there an easy (or not-so-easy) way to do this in OS X 10.7 Lion?
    Thanks.

    There's a "Plain Paper, Fast Draft, Black and White", but no 'just remove colour" type of selection.
    You're right, of course, this is a B/W selection, but it degrades the quality (maybe that's too inherent in removing colour?). I was looking for higher-quality colour removal. Reading what I just typed makes me sound like a nitwit, so maybe that's the best I'm going to be able to do... Thanks for putting my head straight!

  • Is there an easy way to print address labels or multiple envelopes from a group in the Address Book contacts?

    Hi,
    I am doing the same thing too. I have to call my reports thru menu. I tried web.show_document in my menu and it works. I also added paramform=yes and it gives the report parameters, but I want to give the user the choice of format for the reports. eg. pdf, html, excel, etc. instead of hardcoding it.
    Could you please give me some idea on how can I do that??
    Thanks.

  • Is there easy way to print bookmarks Acrobat Pro 9.5

    Is there an easy way to print the bookmarks of an Acrobat file using Acrobat Pro 9.5?
    Is there an easy way to expand all headings?
    Thank you

    Here is something you can try:
    With your file open, and assuming it has all the bookmarks setup:
    Simply export to HTML (File > Export > HTML > I picked HTML 3.2). That should create an HTML file.
    Open the new HTML file and the first thing you should see is a list of all the bookmarks!!!
    This worked for me (I have Adobe 9). Let me know if it works for you.
    P.S. After copying the list, I pasted in Word and changed the bullets to numbers by right clicking one of the bullets and selecting Numbering!

  • I want to print from my iPad in my truck. Is there an easy way of doing this?

    I want to print from my iPad from inside my truck. Is there an easy way to do this?

    The bluetooth is generally meant for keyboards and speakers, no idea if it'd work with a printer.
    I suppose you could shop for printers and look to see if one specifically mentions compantibility with iPads.
    The iPad was created to be a consumption device. Used to consume data, watch movies, read books, listen to music. functionality like what you're wanting is beyond how the device was originally conceived, so it requires tweaking and fixing.
    There are other devices out there that have more functionality, including some that might hardwire to a printer. The easy part would be power for the printer. A $25 inverter will give you that in your vehicle.

    Like DrClap said: DecimalFormat. However, make sure you understand the Locale things, as explained at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html (which refers to NumberFormat as well) and use them explicitly. Like
    public class FormatTest
      public static void main(String args[])
        try
          // see NumberFormat.getInstance()
          DecimalFormat fmt = new DecimalFormat();
          Number num = fmt.parse("1,000.01");
          System.out.println(num.doubleValue());
        catch(ParseException pe)
          System.out.println(pe);
    }most likely seems OK on your system, but may print "1.0" (or even fail) on some non-English platforms!

  • Is there an easy way to create an portfoliopage on my site?

    I like to know how i can do this the best? Im not so good in Dreamweaver.

    Looking forward to your answer..

    Thank you very much. The last one youve send me looks the most what i have in mind. With some thumbnails and when you click on it you see a larger document.
    But it doesnt fit quite in the style of the site. You have an other example for me?

  • Easy way for Ralink3062 wireless?

    Is there an easy way to install the Ralink 3062 wireless drivers?

    You forgot to mention for which Oracle Linux distribution and kernel version.
    Support for Wifi on a RHEL based server system is limited and often requires support by the vendor. Wireless is rather a desktop requirement for which other more suitable Linux distributions exist.
    What is the output of lspci -v about your Wifi adapter?
    Are you using the latest Oracle UEK kernel?
    In a worse case scenario you may have to switch the supplied RHCK kernel and check http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php which focuses on hardware related packages to enhance Enterprise Linux. Or, alternatively, which is usually a better option, install Oracle Linux inside VirtualBox.

  • Is there an easy way to make JSpinner wrap around at max/min values?

    I have several pages with a couple dozen JSpinners to set various values - mostly numeric, but some are not.
    I would like to make them wrap around when either the max or min values are reached.
    Is there an easy way to do this?
    I was hoping for something like an "enableWraparound" property, but I haven't found such an animal.
    I suspect I could add value change listeners to all the components and do it by brute force,
    but there are too many spinners scattered around to make that an option I would like to take.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Ok, it looks like custom spinner models are the way to go.
    Hopefully, I can create a couple that are generic enough to meet my requirements without too much pain.
    It looks like the ones I have already created will be easy enough to modify.
    Thanks for the feedback.

  • Is there an easy way to clear the contents of Download Folder?

    Is there an easier way to clear out files (send to trash) from the downloads folder, other than dragging one by one? The downloads folder closes immediately upon dragging one file out.

    You do not need to invoke Finder to do this. Create a new empty Automator workflow and use the "Run Shell Script" option. Paste in the following....
    mv ~/Downloads/* ~/.Trash
    You can then save the workflow as an application, attach it as a Finder action or add it to the scripts menu, whichever you like better.
    If you would like to bypass the Trash and just completely delete the Downloads folder contents immediately, then paste in this command:
    rm -rf ~/Downloads/*

  • HT1660 is there an easy way to delete the whole itunes library and and start again. I notice there is only an add file/folder button but no remove facility

    I recently upgraded to the iphone 5 and managed to sort the transition out with little trouble but noticed when I tried to put my music on that Itunes has messed with album info and either it or me has generated several copies of the same albums over the years and it makes it quite dificult to sort it all out before reloading on the phone. To stop the chaos I had hoped to clear the library and start again but cant find a way to do it. I was hoping to sort all my music out in original files and consolidate them into a proper folder. HOw do I do this. I notice there is an add fole and folder button but no take away??? is there an easy way?

    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. If you have multiple references to the same files then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • Is there an easy way to reimport all songs in my itunes folder?

    This may sound like a weird question but here goes... When I bring up my iTunes I have 8731 files (mostly music) that come to about 41.33G's but when I right click on my iTunes Music folder and select properties there are 8809 files and a total of 48.5G's. I am trying to free up some disk space and can't figure out why there is such a difference. I had issues with Norton 360 and removed it but I had to restore my music files from an external drive and when I did so I lost the links for music that I added after my last back-up. I noticed that TV shows I bought from Apple were not in my iTunes but I was able to locate them in the folder, and import them back into iTunes. I have a feeling there are music files in my folders that are not linked to iTunes but can't figure out how to import them without going through all 8800+ files. Is there an easy way to import all the files without losing the current playcounts or a way to figure out which files may be duplicated in my iTunes Music folder. Seems like I am wasting 7G somewhere that I would like to recover. I already went through the duplicate songs and that didn't help. Any suggestions would be great...

    AFIK there isn't an easy way of linking up to a lot of dead tracks and retaining play counts etc, except by finding the dead tracks and repairing each link individually. The only exception to this is if there is a simple error in the path that can be fixed by a search and replace on the xml library file, then rebuilding the library. However it doesn't sound as though that would be a solution for you.
    This MacMuse tip has a way of finding dead tracks if that helps.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121967
    It is much simpler to sacrifice the playcount information and just reimport your iTunes Music folder. Then you can eliminate the dead tracks with a script. One of the forum members has written one that you can find here:
