My HP printer and my MAC?

How can I clean up the printer? I am getting lines down the sheets.

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Are the lines across the page or down the length of the page? Are the lines dark (ink where there should not be) or light (missing ink)?

Hi
I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

Do the following:
Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
Calibrate the monitor

Dell AIO 942 printer and my Mac

Have Dell All in One Printer Model 942. I just recently switched to MacBook Pro and cannot get my printer to work. I have tried reinstalling the software but nothing happens. Is my Dell compatible or what am I doing wrong?
Help please!

As Chris mentioned, Dell AIO printers are not supported on the Mac platform. The 924 uses a proprietary data stream that utilizes the GDI system built into Windows. See this IBM article for more detail than you would ever want to know.

9500 Mark II Printer and Photoshop (Mac) Quality and Media Grayed Out

I have a PIXMA 9500 Mark II. I am using the printer on an iMac. In Photoshop, when I choose Quality and Media, the area to choose paper type and tray are grayed out. It work fine in Safari.
I have spoken to Canon, Apple and Adobe and no one seems to be able to get it to work. It works in Safari.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hello larrygm.
Unfortunately, if you continue to have difficulties with accessing the printer settings, we would have to advise that you use our Easy PhotoPrint Pro plugin with Photoshop or print the image using a different program.
The Easy PhotoPrint Pro plugin can be downloaded from our website and is compatible with most versions of Photoshop. Once installed, you can access the plugin from the File/Automate menu of the program.

Why can't I print with an HP and a mac using PSE9

Why can't I print using an HP printer and a mac with Mountain Lion and PSE9

HP printers tend to have long names. Try renaming your printer to something more simple.
Click on System Preferences in the dock or from the menu after clicking the apple icon (top left)
Under Hardware choose Print & Scan
Right-click or Ctrl+Click on your HP Printer and choose rename printer
Type a new name e.g. My Printer (you can also add a location if you wish)
Then click OK

Problems with printer and network connectivity

So I've been using an HP B110a photosmart wireless e-all-in-one printer that I got with my macbook pro and at the start, everything worked perfectly in terms of wireless printing, ePrint, and AirPrint. But recently, when I try to print wirelessly, it says the printer is not connected and I also can't find it on the list of nearby printers on the 'add printer' window. I also had problems with printing via ePrint but those have cleared up (I don't know what was wrong but it's fine now). Printing with AirPrint on my iPod touch has stopped working as well because the printer doesn't show up when I search for nearby printers.
Here's what I've checked/tried so far:
All the wireless services are enabled on my printer and my mac
I've reset the printing system on my mac, printer settings to factory defaults
Restarted mac/printer/iPod
Restarted router
Reinstalled HP printing software that came with the printer
All software is up to date
Wireless printing on another windows computer does work
Setting up wireless printing using the HP install disc doesn't work
Trying to add a new printer using the HP software disc that came with the printer is unsuccessful in locating the printer as well.
Printing over USB is problem-free
When I tried restarting the printer/router, I could see the printer for just a few minutes in the 'add printer' list but then it would disappear from the list and the printer would be 'not connected' so I can't print wirelessly.
More info
MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)
Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2)
HP Photosmart e-All-in-One B110a
Router is a Huawei HG556a that I got from Vodafone NZ
Thanks in advance!

If I can print to a wireless printer from my Mac, wouldn't it seem like I could print from my iPad mi I and iPhone 5?

I cannot print from my iPhone5 nor my iPad mini, to a wireless HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m. I can print from my Mac book pro. Is it my settings or the printer that is not set up correctly?

First check to see if its airprint enabled, it will be listed in the first article link. If not, then there are other options listed below.

Being new to working with Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to set my Mac Book Pro wirelessly to the Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll? My husband had gotten this printer and the sales person said that it can be set up wirelessly to my Mac Book Pro

Being new to working with a Mac, I was wondering if anyone can tell me step, by step on how to set up my Mac Book Pro(Mid 2012) wirelessly to a Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark ll that my husband had gotten me? Sales person told him that it's compatiable to my Mac Book Pro, Mtn Lion, but I do not see it and I don't see how to do it wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ;o)

Hello:
There is nothing wrong with asking questions. There are no dumb questions....answers, yes, but not questions.
If you set up your wi-fi router to establish a network, then both your printer and MacBook Pro will connect wirelessly. *** I do not know what kind of router you possess, I don't want to suggest things that might not be relevant.

Hi All,
I setup 2 Mac Minis, 'setup in a no-apple id. Now with Mini1 I installed a shared printer from Windows7 Pc it ask for credentials then I input Adminstrator account and the password ticking the remember in "keychain"
I run a test print and its seamless. I reboot the Mini1 and run test print again and its good.
Now in Mini2 I did the same installation on shared printer but it is asking for user credential again and again, there is a check mark in "remember in keychain but still gives a notice that "requires authentication" I put the admin creadentials same with Mini1 then it prints.
every time I print on Mini2 its always asking for a user & password before Printing. How can we fix it.
I tried
- lpd printing = "authentication required"
- reset printer settings ang re-install printer = "authentication required"
- replace sharename in windows7, reinstall printer in Mini2 = "authentication required"
This stuff never happened to Mini1.

How to create print sharing for Mac and PC computers

Hello~ I hope someone can answer these questions... Thanks!
We are a small design office. We have trouble printing recently after we upgrade our Mac OSX v10.4.
We have:
2 PC computers (Window XP Home Edition)
1 Power Mac G4
1 Power Mac G5
1 PowerBook G4
1 Epson Stylus Pro 4000 large format printer
1 hp laserjet 3030 fax/copier/printer
We used to transfer the PC files to the server and print from Mac. We were able to print with 'shared printer' if one Mac computer is connected to the printer. After we upgraded 1 Power Mac G4 to OSX v10.4, we can no longer use the 'shared printer' for the other Mac computers. We cannot find the printer under 'shared printer' in the Adobe application, such as Illustrator and Photoshop.
We would like to set up the print sharing system that both Mac and PC computers can send files to the prints without putting files to the server or switching the printers. Can anyone help please? Many thanks!
Power Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

There are a couple of disadvantages with formatting a
disk as FAT32. Firstly, there is a limit on the file
size for FAT32. I think it like 2 GB so if you
capturing video the results will probably not fit
into this file limit. Secondly FAT32 will not be
bootable. I alway clone my system to a backup disk as
bootable. That way if anything goes wrong with my
system, I can just boot from my backup disk and fix
it.
The problem with doing this though is that the drive will not be usable with Windows (which was in the original posting) unless you use the third party MacDrive software on the PC.

Is the Dell 3115CN compatible with a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion? If so, how can I install the drivers and install the printer on my mac?

I hace a Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion OS.... I need to print from time to time but don't have a new printer to go with my new macbook. Would a 3115CN work with it or no? If so, how can I set it up? Setting up a printer on a mac is a bit different from doing so on a windows machine and I am new to the macworld.
All help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. I'm running this printer from 10.6 through 10.9 and it's worked fine with all versions. Dell released updated drivers a while ago that make it much easier to administer this printer.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

Every time Firefox opened

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

Wireless print server with Mac G4 and Dell PC's

I have a belkin wireless router and a linksys WPS54G print server. Hardwired by ethernet cables to the router are two computers 1) Dell 2400 and 2) Apple G4.
I am trying to get the Apple to print to the printserver. the linksys software set the Dell up and the print server and they work fine. I have tried everything i can on the Apple but no luck. Seems to be the driver. The printer is printing gibberish from the mac. The printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R320. I dowmloaded the drivers for Mac OS 10.4.4... from the epson website - I chose each one for the printer on my MAC and tried to print. The result was either no print out or differing gibberish each time. What can I do?

Please search this forum. Your precise issue has been covered several times. You have to use a CUPS driver for network printing - Epson's drivers are Carbon, not CUPS. Start by updating the Gimp-Print drivers that Apple included in OS X to the next newer version, now called Gutenprint 5.0.0:
