MAC book won't connect to printer

My printer used to work on my MAC book pro, but now it isn't working. I have attached an USB cord and that isn't working i tried to reinstall my hp photosmart 5510 and it keeps saying operation isn't compatiable with the system because its 10.7 and its only compatiable with 10.6 or below

Hi jcunni10,
I understand you have a Photosmart 5510 that is not communicating with your Mac. I'm sorry to hear this, but I will certainly do my best to help!
From what you've described, I think it's best that you make sure the HP software has all been removed by following this Uninstalling the Printer Software document, and then resetting your printing system (don't re-add the printer) followed by a verify/repair of your disk permissions. Once that is complete, reboot your Mac and try downloading and running the software from this download page. Hopefully this allows you to get everything working!
Have a great weekend!

Mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

Copy the IP address of the printer from the Mac that can connect to it by itself. The IP shows when you start any print job.
Disable Printer sharing on this Mac.
Go to the Mac that cannot connect by itself and set up the printer from scratch using the printer's IP. To do this:
System Preferences / Print & Scan, then click the + sign, nxt select Add Printer or Scanner and click on IP. Fill in the info.

HT2497 Using Time Machine for home wifi just fine. Switched to cable modem from DSL. Now having trouble connecting laptops to wifi. ISP says it is not their fault. Mac books won't connect on their own.

Changed from DSL to cable modem. Now Mac book pro won't connect to wifi - Time Machine?
One Mac ok, other not. Help?

Thanks. We have been using an existing Time Machine for wifi. Cable modem replaced DSL router and was hooked up to Time Machine. What's odd is that 3 computers and iPad2 are connecting to home wifi just fine, using exact same network and password as before. My Mac book pro and an older iPad are not. IPhones are also connecting to home wifi just fine. I managed to get my Mac book pro hooked one time by copying ip address from a Mac that was working (entered manually) then turning that one off. That's not what I need.
The error message is "no ip address".

IPad, iPhone, and Mac book won't connect to wifi

My ipad (6.1.3), my Mac book (10.6.8), and my iPhone 4(6.1.3) won't connect to home wifi even though all of them did on Sunday night (2 days ago). I have tried forgetting network and reconnecting but didn't work. I have tried to reset network settings on my devices but didn't work. The only thing that works so far is rebooting the router but that's feasible or fair to the other people (who are not apple users) in the house. Everyone else's laptops, tablets, phones, and play station can connect and stay connected. All of my devices can see the network but connection times out. Please help!

Hey CompeauC,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! I can definitely understand the frustration, and there are some troubleshooting steps that don't necessarily necessitate rebooting the router. I found a couple of articles that should be able to assist you in resolving the issue, one for your Mac and the other for your two iOS devices:

My mac book won't connect to any networks.

My mac book 7,1 won't connect to any networks (wireless connection) . It says "ALERT NO INTERNET CONNECTION" . The configuration IPv4 is on: Using DHCP. So, I don't understand why it's telling me this, and how i can fix it.

What do the Apple OS X network diagnostics report:
 > System Preferences > Network > Assist Me... > Diagnostics ...
about your network connection?
Do the networking problems here also effect connections via a wired network?
Have you tried a different wireless network? Does connecting at a library, café or Apple store work?
I'm going to assume that you're not running OS X Server 10.6 on this MacBook — that would be unusual — and that you're probably running the client version of OS X 10.6, and are here in this forum because you saw the 10.6 in the forum title. If I'm wrong here, there can potentially be other triggers for the network outage. OS X Server management is rather different from whe OS X that Apple installs on a MacBook.

My MAC Book won't connect to my apple tv. HELP

Mac mini won't connect to my wireless router!

I just bought my mac mini server then connected it to wifi, then after 2 weeks I had to go abroad for a week so I just turned off the switch connecting to my mac, without switching off my mac mini server. then when I get back home my mac mini won't connect to my wifi. I tried everything from manually setting up IP and DHCP nothing works. What happened?
thanks for help,
Jakarta

I didn't reset the machine/router itself because 2 of my computer is still connected to wifi-and working perfectly, but the mac mini server cannot connect to wifi.
what I did was to set up the "networking utilities"-having said that, what I did was to connect all over again to wifi, this did not work. I did tried to change from DHCP to manually set up IP, neither of these didn't work.
I'm now stucked!

My 5 year old Mac book won't turn on. It seems to be holding a charge. In the past 3 months I've replaced the power source, battery, & had a full diagnostic run on it.

Tanks dominic23, do you think that the dead battery can affect the macbook performance? I do alot of video work, and since the battery died i cannot do a smooth preview of my videos in premiere cs6, seems like a memory problem but it worked fine before the battery issue.

Can I get my mac book pro to connect via usb to epson ex5200

can I get my mac book pro to connect via usb to epson ex5200?

Maybe, but if the Mac has Thunderbolt ports, it will probably give you much better results with a TB to HDMI cable such as this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CADYDO
No software, truly a plug and play proposition.

My Mac Pro won't connect to Wifi?

My Mac Pro won't connect to the Wifi that it has been for the past 2+ years. All other devices in our home that use the same Wifi are working just fine.

Tried doing Network Diagnostics multiple times, did not work. Keeps saying it can't connect or times out.
What color was the light pertaining to Wifi in the left column? Red, Green, or Yellowish/Orange?
Some of the following you may have already tried:
Try the basics first:
Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

Can a latest Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen?

Presentation at meetings require Mac Book Air get connected to a display screen.
A Mac Book Pro is possible to get connected to a display screen using a A1307 adopter.
Does any one know if the latest Mac Book Air connectable to a display screen using A1307 adopter or anyother means? I would be oblighed to know the possibility prior to buy one.
Regards

The Thunderbolt port doubles as a Mini-DisplayPort. Thunderbolt is not the same as Firewire. However, Apple does sell a Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor so you can connect Firewire devices to the computer. Thunderbolt devices may be daisy-chained, but a display monitor must be the last device on that chain.
According to what I found the A1307 adaptor is Mini-DisplayPort to VGA. It will not connect to a Firewire port.

TS3276 the connec doctor sr but mac mail won't connect?

How do you connect to gmail in mac mail when the connection doctor says the connection was successful to the server but mac mail won't connect even after re-inputting the password?

mac mail won't connect to the Comcast POP or smpt servers
So your saying that you have comcast at home and it works fine from this machine?
If you mail works fine at home, then if it doesn't work on the road, it most likely isn't your machine. It is some other problem:
-- with the other network
-- perhaps comcast is preventing foreign mail from working.
