Problems printing from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120

Hi,
I am really getting very frustrated as trying to print from my Macbook Air to my HP Envy 120.
I have downloaded from the HP website the software which is compatible with OS X 10.9.4 and installed it. My printer is also connected to my Wifi router and prints off a test report and also I can print from my ipad.
When I install the software and it goes to look for the printer - nothing is found.
Any ideas as I am pulling my hair out now.

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

Hi,
My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.

Hello boojoo1tw,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.

I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air

Hello, I have a Canon MG3520 and it keeps saying it's OFFLINE and it won't let me Print from my MACBOOK Air. I purchased this printer in late Dec 2013 and it HAS worked before & continues to "make noise" when it is turned on. This is Very Frustrating and Inconvient since I have a Business from my home. Please Help asap! Thank you, Tracey

traceyss--this might work on mac air: on google cloud print i went to the cloud site http://w.x.y.z(put in your numbers) and then menu-utilities-energy saving settings, where i turned off "auto off" (clicking on it leads you to this choice) and turned on "auto on." then i turned off printer and restarted in 5 seconds to get the changes into the mg3520's little brain: so far, so good(on a chromebook). hope this works for you!--ceaisland55

Problems printing from a Macbook Pro on a Kodak ESP7

Hi,
I am having problem printing from my Mac to the Kodak. I have connected the mac to the printer through the settings as it can see it. However, when I come to print it it says the printer is not responding and to check if it is turned on and properly connected. I have tried reloading the printer etc but still cant get it to work. I fired up my old windows laptop and that will print fine wirelessly so it can't be my BT Hub for the internet.
Any suggestions would be appreciated as I dont want to go and have to buy another printer.
Thanks for suggestions.
Matt

Using the OS X built-in network printing protocols
requires a CUPS driver. Check on Brother's site to
see if they now have a CUPS driver for your model,
or you can try the open source hl1250 driver from:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hl1250/
Unfortunately, I don't have an Intel Mac, so I don't
know if any of these power PC drivers will work for
you.
Please let us know.
I was told by a friend that the drivers are already built into the OS X 10.4.3, I hooked up the printer directly via USB and indeed it worked just fine. But, as I stated before, I just can't get the **** thing to work when the printer is connected to my PC and I try to print through the network.

Problelm print from 13" macbook air OSX10.8.4 to hp x476dw

Priting issues from Macbook 13" to HP X476DW.
When printing, the printer will respond, the door opens on the printer, it thinkgs about it and you hear things moving, then the door closes. Queue empty, it thinks it did it's thing. Could be printing protocol issue where it expects one format over another, but unsure where to define this in osx.
Printer works fine from my windows computers on the network.
Printer works fine printing from Ipad devices using airprint.
I've used the reset printers option multiple times (to try different printer setups)
I used direct network access using mac standard installations.
I used airprint setup
I used wireless direct setup (nice features of this printer)
This is a brand new Macbook air with OSX 10.8.4.
in EVERY CASE the printer door will simply open, wait a while, and close. Nothing printed, not even a blank sheet of paper comes out. I can go to my windows PC and print right away no problem.
Side note, the scanner is working fine and since the printer does respond to the document (by beginning the process with opening the door) there is communitcation.
Any help on this? Has anyone else experienced this? It behaves like it does not know what to do with print data (as if it were sending in the wrong protocol, like PCL6 vs PS...)
Thanks in advance,
Marc

UPDATE: I enabled poscript error printing, I get this....
ERROR: undefined

Printing from a Macbook Air

Hello,
Prepare for an amazingly stupid question.......
I have one of the new version Macbook Air's 13 inch version. I also got the 'free' HP printer that came with it whenIi purchased it.
I have now finally unpacked the printer, and downloaded the drivers from the HP website. I then went to plug the macbook to the printer to print..... But! I don't seem to have a cable that will connect the two devices! The only cables that came with the printer are the old style ethernet cables. The only cables that I can find that came with my macbook (other than the power cable) has a USB port on one end, and the wider ipod/ipad style fitting at the other (and indeed these cables may have been from my ipad rather than my macbook, and just happened to be in the drawer).
So, how do you connect a macbook air to a printer?? Do I need a cable with a USB connection on both ends? Should one have come with my macbook?
LP

Lucy,
I'm assuming this is a non-wireless printer, in which case you'll need to purchase a USB A to USB B cable, OR you could purchase a USB to Ethernet adapter and then use the included ethernet cable. The USB A to B cable is the cheaper solution, you can pick up a 14' cable for about half the price of the USB to Ethernet adapter.
Cheers!

Two sided printing from a Macbook Air

I switched from a Thinkpad to a Macbook and got a new HP laserjet 1102 wireless printer (because my old one that I used with my Thinkpad died). I cannot figure out how to get set up to print 2-sided. It was so easy on the Thinkpad. Help!

Hi,
Follow the steps below to print a manual two-sided print jobs:
From the file used to print click the File menu and select Print.
NOTE: The Print window might be minimized. Press on Show Details to show any available print option.
Click the lowest selection box listed as the name of the program (e.g. TextEdit)
Will appear as Copies & Pages within Microsoft Office applications.
Select Manual Duplex and set the optios accordingly.
If you are not being prompt to reload the page place the printed pages faced down in the inpuf tray, then open and close the top cartridge access door to resume the print job and complete the other side.

Shlomi

I'm having problems printing from my 15" macbook pro to my HP wireless printer. It works sometimes but not reliably, it can spend hours "seating for printer". I can print from my i pad with no problems

Hi,
Apple's AirPrint only support specific models while using wired or wireless network connection.
Plugging a printer into a USB port of Apple base is not supported for AirPrint:
AirPrint printers connected to the USB port of the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsules are not supported with AirPrint.
As well you must use AirPrint enabled printers for a such, none of your printers are AirPrint enabled:

There are 3rd party solutions which allow sharing a printer connected to your Mac as AirPrint, Printopia as example provide a such:

I cannot print wirelessly from my macbook air

I am trying to print wirelessly from my macbook air 256gb. We have a HP Deskjet 3050 J610 series. It works fine printing when I plug my computer into the cord that is connected to the printer. but without the cord, it says the printer is "offline". I am wondering if the only way to print is if I connect it with the cord, or if i can somehow print wirelessly that I do not know about. thanks!

also, the printer says it is not connected, maybe if i connect it, i can print wirelessly. how do i connect it?

When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.

Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1)   Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2)   Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3)   Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)
Summary Tab
Backups (This Computer)
Options
Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected
Sync only checked songs and videos
Photos Tab
Sync Photos from iPhoto (429 Photos)
Selected albums, Events, and Faces, and automatically include (no Events)
Albums – 9 are selected

You need to download iTunes on your computer. iOS 6 requires the latest version of iTunes which is 10.7.

Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air - mail with 32MB attachment appearing in "recovered messages" folder every 12 seconds

Problem with MacMail on MacBook Air
3 days ago I failed to send a mail with a large (32MB) attachment - and it is no longer in my outbox, draft mails or sent file.
BUT a copy of this same mail now appears every about 15 seconds in my "recovered messages" folder
I noticed when I received a system error saying I had a disk almost full issue - there were over 580 copies of the mail with 32MB attachment in the "recovered messages file"
I deleted them all, and deleted the Trash
BUT the message still keeps re-appearing every 15 seconds or so. So I keep deleting them.
Since then I have not been able to receive mail (altho' I am able to send) and Mail is VERY slow
I am running MAC OS X 10.6.8
I am running Mail version 4.6 (1085)

Also here's the log before it happened. As you can see there is no activity from 9:48 to 10:00 am when the sound occurred.
