Macbook Air: connecting Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer

I purchased my Macbook Air a few months ago, and I selected theCanon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to go along with it. I have tried to install the printer a few times in various ways. Initially, I used my Macbook Air superdrive to attempt to load my new printer with the included disk. However, installation requires that the printer be connected to the Macbook via USB. Since the superdrive was occupying my only USB, I tried to connect my printer wirelessly with another computer. The laptop I used was not a Mac, and I simply could not get his computer to recognize the disk for my Macbook. So I tried something else; I borrowed my school libraries USB splitter in a last attempt to connect them both to my Macbook Air at the same time. However the superdrive does not react when not directly connected to the computer...
In short, I cannot find a way to connect my Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to my Macbook Air.
Help?

Connect the SuperDrive to the computer, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an image of the installation disk, disconnect the SuperDrive, plug in the printer, and install the software from the image.

MacBook Air connected to a Laserjet Pro MFP but not printing

Hi, I am trying to print from an HP LaserJet Pro MFP M-125a which is connected to a MacBook Air via a USB cable. The software has been downloaded and the print job window is always showing as if it is in the process of printing the print job given but no printing is issued and the print job is seen as done. Can you please tell me what's wrong why the print outs are not coming out?

Hi @Lilium ,
I see that you are having issues printing through the USB connection. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
Did you download and install the full software solution or run the Apple Upates?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (LaserJet Pro MFP M125a )
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How is the printer name listed?
If the issue persists, please try the following steps:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
Try printing again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

I got my first Mac 2 weeks ago, a Macbook Pro. I can't get it to scan on my HP Laserjet1217 nfwMFP all in one. It prints (wirelessly) just fine. But when I try to scan, it says something like "no scanners available". Wireless or connected, it's the same.

I have not been able to get my new Macbook Pro to scan, either wirelessly or connected, with my HP Laserjet all in one M1217 nfwMFP printer. It prints wirelessly just fine, but if I try to scan, I get the message that no scanners are found. The guy in the Apple store had it scanning just fine with a new HP printer he took out of the box. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

MacBook Air and Canon MP560

I previously had a MacBook Pro that worked wirelessly with my Canon MP560 printer. I recently purchased a MacBook Air and I'm trying to set up the printer with my new computer. I tried downloading the driver directly from the Canon website and I tried downloading one from Apple's website. Both times it installed correctly but when I tried to print it says that the software for the printer I am trying to use is not longer supported. It's on the list of supported printers but it's not working. HELP!

My Macbook Air connects to ATV at home but not at work

My Macbook Air connects at home over a Time Machine network to my apple tv just fine (including airplay); when at work on a non-apple wifi network both computer and apple tv connect but cannot see each other. As I would like to stream video to the work ATV via airplay, this is a problem... Any ideas?

Hello Allan Robinson,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning AirPlay:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Try the following suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

My iPhone and iPad are on my moms icloud account and i just got a macbook air and i want all my devices on my own iCloud account - i went to all of my settings and it won't let me change my iCloud account on my phone and iPad. can i change this?

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!

Trying to connect HP officejet all-in-one! assitant does not support router??

I am trying to connect HPOfficejet 7410 All-in-One which is wirless enabled to my wireless netowork. Getting message," HP NETWORK ASSISTANT does not currently support the router that is connected to your system." Does this mean that I cannot setup this printer with the router I have? Or is there another way I can connect it without using the Network assistant? The router I have is a Linksys Router Model # WRT110 . I have tried to find another router that was in the list of "supported routers" with no luck. I have looked everywhere. Please if someone could help! Let me know if you need more info to answer my question. Thanks!

Actually, its not that the youre router is not ocompatible with the HP Network Assistant. Maybe yuore router has a very secure network security thats why the wireless assistant could not connect the printer to youre router
- The other way to connect the printer to your wireless network is to run the wireless setup wizard on the printer.
- Step 1. Press the set up button on the printer and press the right arrow then navigate & look for netwok menu then press ok.
- Step 2. press the right arrow and look for wireless setup wizard
- it will look for youre wireless router and try to select your router the enter the security key(WEP or WPA) if you have one.
- after that it will prompt you that the printer is connected to your network

But So unfair……New Macbook air…….
I want change new one or Refund me
Please help me..

It is really not relevant what you buy; especially with electronics, your item is "outdated" as soon as you get it home because there will always be a newer, bigger, better things out there.
Does your machine no longer do what you need it to do? If so, sell it, and buy a new one. If it does what you need, then keep it and work with it.
Apple allows for returns within the first 14 days; you can try going to a store and seeing if they will make an exception, but I would not expect it.

Question:How do I connect my MacBook Air so my Epson Stylus Color 740i Ink Jet Printer will print?

Question:How do I connect my MacBook Air so my Epson Stylus Color 740i Ink Jet Printer will print?

First, the Epson Stylus Color 740 (which I assume is your printer) is listed in this article, which is good news:

So Apple can provide its driver software.
This article tells you how to set up your printer:

Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
Get it from:
http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i- SENSYS_LBP5000.aspx?type=download&softwaredetailid=tcm:13-920158&os=OS%20X%20v10 .9&language=
It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try.

Not at this time. It would also be great to have an adjustment for sensitivity too.
