Trying to add a DELL (Lexmark) V715w printer to my MacBook Pro

Purchased a DELL branded Lexmark V715w AIO printer a month or so back. I was able to install it to my Windows based home system. When I try and add it to my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air, I cannot get it to print at all. It will show up in the print and scan Queue fine, but will never print anything when a document or picture is sent to it.
I have tried multiple versions of both DELL and Lexmark drivers, updated the firmware, downloaded the newest MAC Lion drivers to no avail. I like this printer, and hope that someone can assist me in getting it setup for use.
When I try and complete teh Lexmark Wireless assistant, it hangs at the Connect USB cable screen and never allows the "Continue" button to be selected (stays grayed out), I found a fix for this on the windows side, but nothing for us MAC users.
Any assistantance would be greatly appreciated, starting to get tired of saving to a UB Stick and getting on the Windows machine to print items.
Thanks

There is a flaw in OS X Lion.
From this article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
If the printer is a wireless capable printer and it is connecting to a wireless network, make sure it is properly connected to the wireless network first. The printer may have to be connected to the Mac initially via USB.
As stated in that article the printer may need to be connect directly to the Mac Via USB during the initial setup.
What a joke.
Good luck.
I have an idea. Sell the Mac, don't look back and by a Windows notebook that actually is easier to use.

I'm trying to install a Dell (V313 AIO) printer on my macbook pro.

I've installed the driver from the Dell website successfully (more than once) but the printer still doesn't show up to be able to add it. Any tips on how to get this to work? The driver is for OSX 10.6 and later, so it should work, right (I'm running 10.8.2)
Thanks

Uh, tough call, you'll have to check what is used with a PC, drivers or driver+software.
If driver+software then that's a problem as they likely won't write one for OS X.
If drivers you can install these open source one and hopefully it might work, Dell and Apple don't get along so you likely won't see Dell drivers installed by Apple in OS X like they do for others.

I am trying to add a wireless printer to my MacBook Pro. It was working properly until we had to get a new modem. I have gone through the steps with the printer customer service rep, and it was working properly for one day. When I booted up the next morning, the printer was no longer "connected". It will work if I have the printer and computer connected, but I much prefer the wireless capability. Suggestions? The printer is a Brother MFC7860DW. The other laptop in the house (Dell) can print wirelessly so I don't think it's an issue with the modem or the printer.

Just double-click the zip file to open it.
There is no Mac version of Access, so how you're going to open the Access file remains to be seen.

How do you setup a canon mp620 to print from a Macbook Pro?

How can i print from my MacBook Pro with a canon mp620 printer? I have the printer setup with a PC via USB and want to add the MacBook as a new computer and print wirelessly. I have tried the installation cd and updated drivers from canon website but it still wont work.

I have managed to get my working. Firstly, I googled the CUPS drivers for the printer and then downloaded those from canons website. I then went to print and scan in system preferences and noticed that the printer had appeared there. I believe it was those drivers that made the difference but i was fiddling for hours before that so i cant be 100% sure how i got it to work.

Why can't my iPod touch add apps when using it with my new macbook pro?

I've had my iPod touch (4G 64GB) since christmas 2010. I was syncing my ipod with a windows vista dell desktop. I bought a Macbook Pro 15" for college about two weeks ago. When I plug my iPod into my macbook it will manually add music but I tried adding a couple apps and it did nothing. Also on the iPod summary screen if I go to apps I can see my app layout but i can't move the apps and they are semi-see through. HELP ME!!!!!

Something happened and yo have to restore via iTunes. Backup to iTunes if yo can and then restore from that backup
All old devices can sync with the newest iTunes

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
What's the rest of that error message? Posting what you did is similar to posting as an error message the text "I'm having trouble with ..." with nothing following.
I'd try several things until things work:
1) Open the Print & Fax panel of System Preferences. Right-click on a printer entry and choose "Reset printing system".
2) Delete the entry for your printer, then add it back.
3) Check the Epson Web site for a recent driver for your printer. Download it, then first run it in "uninstall" move, then in "install" mode.
I'll be personally interested in what you learn. I have a relative who has an RX620 and 10.6.4, but I'm not sure he's tried to print anything yet.

HT1800 Cannot reconnect my printer to my Macbook Pro

Hello, try this...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

Trouble setting up wireless printing between my Macbook Pro w. Mountain Lion 10.8.1 and my HP C4780 Printer

Hi all,
I'm having a frustrating problem trying to set up the wireless printing between my Macbook Pro 13" to my HP C4780 printer. I had no problem installing and configuring this before on my previous computer, a Macbook. However, when I got my new computer (the Macbook Pro), my wireless network wont show up when I try and install the wireless capability during the printer setup. I had to buy a new router and set up a new network around the time I got my new computer, so I wonder if this has something to do with it. My wireless network is a WPA/WPA2 personal, but so was my old wireless network with the old router and I didn't have a problem installing the wireless. I thought I might not have had the most up-to-date driver for the printer software, but I do. So, i'm stuck! Any thoughts??

Go here and download all the manuals and read them on how to set up your printer.
