"unable to locate printer" mac air printer installation

help

More information would be helpful. What type of printer? Is it a network printer or attached to the computer? Have you tried restarting the printer?

    Can the mac air print to HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 plus Wireless e-all-in-one?

    AirPrint is an iOS 5 protocol.  It is not used on the Mac or Lion.  What you *can* do is add the wireless printer to you network and print from the mac using that.

    Hi I have an HP printer. I use an APP called print central from APP Store. Used this for the last 2 years on 2 IPhones & 3 iPads with no problems. Cheers Brian

    Hey ronniefai,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are receiving a prompt that your printer is offline. This may be due to a printing job that is currently in the queue. Are you able to see the print summary when following these steps?:
    Viewing the Print Summary
    You can view the Print Summary by double-tapping the Home button and swiping to the right to reveal Printer Center. Then tap Print Center.
    Note: Print Center is available only while printing is in progress.

    If so, see if you can cancel the job. If not, what happens when you re-connect to the network that the printer is on?
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • HT4356 I have cannon mx870 it's not listed as an available printer for air print. Why it's only three years old and it has wi fi

    I have cannon mx870 it's not listed as an available printer for air print. Why it's only three years old and it has wi fi.

    Probably because it pre-dates Airprint technology.  The fact that it has wifi doesn't change anything if it isn't an Airprint-supported printer

  • Can't find printer in air print

    Cannot find my Samsung printer on my iPhone 5.  On same wifi network; prints wirelessly from PC; printer model is air print enabled; only way to print from iPhone is using clunky Samsung print app.  Am I missing something here?

    try resetting your printer and the iPhone and if that fails, see this:
    Additional Information
    If you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found"
    Verify that the printer:
    Has power and is turned on.   If it has power, turn the printer off and then on again to see if that resolves the issue.
    Is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the iOS device.
    Has the latest firmware version installed.
    Has paper with enough ink or toner installed.
    Is free of any errors displayed on the printer's control panel.
    If necessary, consult the printer documentation or contact the printer vendor for help with  the above steps.
    Notes:
    Avoid connecting AirPrint-capable printers to the USB port of Apple AirPort Base Stations or Time Capsules. Doing so can enable traditional AirPort printing from a Mac, but it will not enable AirPrint functions for iOS devices. If you cannot use Wi-Fi networking to connect the AirPrint-capable printer, use an Ethernet connection from the AirPrint-capable printer to the Apple AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule.
    Wi-Fi printers can take several minutes to join a Wi-Fi network after being turned on. Ensure that the printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network before attempting to print.

  • How do I sync my HP printer to air print?

    When I purchased my iMac last year Apple sent me an HP printer
    I have not been able to configure the printer so that I can print from my iPhone or my iPad
    How do I do this?

    A couple of questions come to mind:
    -- Is your printer set up to print wirelessly from your Mac, or is it connected via USB cable? You need to be connected wirelessly in order for your iDevices to see it.
    -- Is your printer an "e-print" model (that supports AirPrint)?

  • Installing software on my Mac Air & MBP - installer wont load

    Hi all
    I am hoping some one is technically savvy enough to help me trouble shoot this problem. I recently purchased a new digital camera and am trying to install the software disc that came with the camera. I unfortunately need to install the software disc so that it loads the necessary files for me to process the raw digital files that came out of the camera so using things like iphoto etc is no good for me.
    The issue I have is when I double click the installer it momentarily flashes up and then disappears???? I cannot figure out WHY?? So I have tried to trouble shoot as best as possible. Here is what I have done and results to date.
    1. Tried to Install this on my MacBook Pro. Installer flashes up momentarily and disappears?
    2. Tried to install this on my Mac Air also running OS X Snow Leopard. Same issue?? So far conclude its not machine related
    3. Downloaded another install disc off the internet and tried to run that version. Same ISSUE. So its not issues related to my CD.
    4. Stripped out previous versions of the software on my MAC Air to ensure its not causing issues. Same problem
    5. Checked online forums and other uses and purchasers of the digital camera ARE able to install the software on their macs!!!
    6. Uninstalled every single APP that I have installed on my MAC air and tried to get it back to stock. Try again. Still fail????????
    7. Updated the OS X software to ensure everything is up to date.
    8. Grabbed the OLD version of the software disc that came with my previous digital camera (same brand) and installed that CD (version 23 - for those familiar with Canon DSLR). that loads up correctly and allows me to install. Version 25 the latest that comes with my new Canon DSLR doesnt load up.
    I am stuck !!! I cannot pin point the issue. I dont understand OS X enough to debugg or log what the potential issue is.
    I started up the Activity Monitor and watched closely in the my Process specifically for the process that I start up (SetUp)
    I noticed that the Setup process name registers. Then another process starts up UniversalInstaller then both of them disappears?????????? and nothing happens in my comp!!!!!
    Is there some way for me to debug this ?? look at log file?? enable error logging or has ANY one got any idea what may be the issue???
    I've essentially bought a VERY VERY expensive DLSR and I cannot edit my raw files because I cannot install the software!!
    HELP ME Please

    Downloading as we speak, and the first explanation that comes to mind is that both files have a .rar extension, and that since OS X doesn't support this archive format, you need to install a third-party utility to open them.
    One files tool to open .rar files is The Unarchiver (here), and another is Stuffit Expander (there). 7zip also proposes a Mac version (here). All three will decompress a .rar file, and let you access the .dmg file(s) inside.
    Also, depending on the browser you're using, and provided you might be inclined to open trusted files directly (I use Opera, and seldom save safe download; I click on "Open" in the download dialogue), your files could very well open... in the browser cache folder, out of sight. But if you use Safari, Chrome or Firefox, and you don't have any utility installed to handle .rar files, that's doubtful. I'm going to open your files now, and check if I can install them.
    Stay tuned!
    Edit: decompressing the first file using The Unarchiver shows that the archive is "incomplete". Which leads me to think that you might have to concatenate the two files to make one "complete" .dmg file.
    If so, once they are decompressed, open a Terminal (in Applications/Utility), then type "cat", and drag both files in the window, one after the other (preferably in the right order...), type a space, then give the final file any name you want, followed by the .dmg file extension:
    (e.g.:) "cat /Users/Your_Name/Desktop/File1.dmg /Users/Your_Name/File2.dmg /Users/Your_Name/Desktop/FinalFile.dmg"

  • Can't print on air printer from my ipad at friends house

    How do I print from my iPad on my friends air printer.

    This makes sense.  If you log in as a guest, the network host might not want you to see a printer (in the general case).

    I assume I have to make some printer adjustments.
    I don't think so.  You simply need to log on to the network as a non-guest.

  • Which kind of color printer with air print to buy?

    I desperately need a new printer.  We simply need one for printing out lots of homework stuff and occasionally a color photograph.  Should I get a laser or inkjet?  Price doesn't concern me as we'd love to get a quality piece.  Any suggestions?  Also, we want to have the Air Print capaiblity.

    Too many to mention, go to your reseller of printers and then decide for yourself which one has the features  you need. As a general rule inkjet prints much better photos than laser.
