Why is my hp printer sitting idle when I want to print?

I am trying to get my Macbook Pro to print via the wireless connection, however it says the printer is idle.  I have tried adding the printer again changing default printer and resetting the printer preferences.  When I did that is would not search for the printer or add it until I connect the USB cable.  I can print using the USB cable but not without so printer is working.  Any suggestions on what I need to do to fix this issue would be great.

If you have printed wirelessly to this printer from this Mac, the printer's IP is on the Mac.
Start a print job.
The print dialog box will come up showing the selected printer.
Click on it, and the IP used previously will be displayed.
If it is there, select it and you are ready to print. You do not have to do anything else.
If the IP does not show up (in the above situation) you have to find it using the instructions in the User Manual. When you have it, this is what you do:
With your Mac and the printer on the network, go to Apple Menu / System Preferences / Print & Fax.
Click the + (plus sign).
On the next pane click the IP icon (the globe).
On the new pane, enter the following: in the first line select Internet Printing Protocol
On the second line enter the printer's IP.
Click Add.

    When you have installed the latest version of Flash, relaunch Safari and test.

    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

  • Set up iPad- Sits idle when connecting to iTunes - suggestions?

    Set up iPad.  Have updated my iPad and have backed up all to iTunes.  iPad ask to set up iPad, select language, country, choose a wi-fi network, then select "set up as a new iPad", "restore from iCloud backup", "restore from iTunes backup". I selected restore from iTunes backup, next screen states "Connect to iTunes" it sits in that screen idle nothing happens.  Have anyone had this same problem, what have you done for it to connect to iTunes?

    Hi msanti,
    To make sure that we on the same page, you are trying to restore from a back up in iTunes and your iPad is not showing up. If that is the case, pick one of the articles below for the type of computer you have to assist with getting it to show up in iTunes.

  • Why is my CPU running 0% idle when I'm running only Finder?

    I recently noticed that the fan on my Powerbook was running almost all the time. I went to Activity Monitor and saw that my CPU is running 0% idle. The only other application I was running deliberately was Finder. I looked through the list of background applications and the total CPU usage was well below 100%. What's happening?

    Yes. But I went back to Activity Monitor and selected "all processes," I noticed that PrintJobMgr was taking 96% of my CPU resources, even though I wasn't printing anything! So I just killed the process and everything is OK now. Thanks.

  • Why does Safari's Top Sites open when I click on View in iTunes?

    For some reason, whenever I click on a link in Safari that requires another application to open, (iTunes for example), now a new browser window opens to Safari's Top Sites page.  It appears to have started after the recent update. Anybody else having this problem?  Is there a solution? 

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Why is my text pixelated in Illustrator when I want to save it for web?

    I added a grunge effect to this font. It scales up and down and fine, but when I preview it in the "save for web" option, it gets pixelated. I tried making it an object, but I got the same result. Shouldn't Illustrator be able to scale these without a problem?
    This first is a screen shot of the text. Illustrator is open and zoomed in at around 600%
    This second example is when I tried to save for web and zoom in around 600% again.

    arcbo,
    As I (mis)understand it, what you see is simply the pixels of the raster image.
    If you Save for Web at the exact size that it is being used for, the pixels will match the use and it will look nice.
    Any raster image looks pixelated when scaled up beyond its actual size.

    Tisztelt Dr. Fürjes Lajos!
    Sajnos nincs egyedül a problémával. Sok más esetben is jelentkezett a probléma, sajnos megoldani nem tudták, ahogy kivettem a szövegekből.
    Személy szerint a következőt javaslom: Kérem, navigáljon el a jobb oldali legördülő menü, beállítások fülhöz, ott globális ''beállítások''at válassza("beállítások" ként szerepel), majd a ''speciális fül'', ott a ''hálózat és lemezterület'' alfül és ott ürítse a helyi gyorsítótárat, a ''lemezterület'' szekciónál a ''törlés most'' gombbal. Majd indítsa újra a programot.
    Amennyiben ez megoldotta volna a problémát, kérem jelezze.
    Tisztelettel:Tomi55

    why i can't connetcting to internet when i want  validate seriale number ?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why can't I print out a PDF file when I am on Firefox? It takes me to Preview to print instead of staying on Firefox.

    When I go to a website that has a PDF file and try to print it, it sends me to Preview and when I try to print, the computer freezes up. This does not happen on Safari. Why can't I print a PDF file when I am on Firefox?

    To print a PDF, you need to use the print command from the PDF reader plugin instead of firefox's one. If there is no icons bar in the plugin, try right-click on a page from the pdf -> Print.
