Wireless printer for Mac OS X v 10.5.8

I have a Mac OS X v 10.5.8 - are there any wireless printers that will work with this version?  I purchased an HP Deskjet 3520 and it is not compatible.  Apparently I need to have a minimum of 10.6.  What HP printers are compatible?
Thank you.

I use a Canon MG8120 wireless printer/scanner with computer OS's 10.5 through 10.7.

    what is a good wireless printer for mac POC 10.7.4,having problems with hp 3050A

    Hello Flajack,
    Thanks for the post.  I did some checking here and the HP 3050a is compatible with MAC OS 10.7 in a wireless environment.  What kind of issues are you having?  Installation? Connectivity?  Maintaining a wireless connection?  I've included a couple of my favorite links below to assist in getting this resolved.  Check the information in these links and let me know how it goes from there.  Good Luck!

  • Best all-in-one wireless printer for Mac 10.9.2

    Looking for best wireless all-in-one for home use.  I have Mac OSX 10.9.2, iPhone 5, iPad and a wireless network.  Not technically inclined.  Any recommendations?

    I wish a few more users would take the time to share their experiences with printers. I have had a Canon MX870 for several years that is nothing but a perpetual headache -- it needs to be reconnected to the network three or four times a day or it simply will not print. There are lots of posts on this topic and I have tried every possible solution with no luck. I am reluctant to buy another Canon -- this experience has left me doubting their products. I am also reluctant, based on past experience, to consider an HP product. So that pretty much leaves Epson -- but which Epson? I am looking for an all-in-one wireless printer that will STAY CONNECTED to the network. Top-quality printing would be nice, but frankly, it's not on the top of my priority list. I just want to be able to use the printer, scanner and copier without wasting an hour of my day on maintenance. If you have had positive experience in this regard, please take a few seconds to post your recommendations. Thanks. (I am running the latest version of Mavericks on a new Mac Pro.)

  • Wireless Printing: for Mac and PC

    I am running a home wireless network. The AEBS --> Linksys router --> Modem. In addition, there is an HP LaserJet 2100M attached to the router. So the problem is I need to be able to connect my Macs and my wife's PC to the printer. I have no problem with the Macs - they are running through AppleTalk. Using Printer Setup Utility the location shows up as "Local zone". I think the problem may be that the PC doesn't recognize "AppleTalk".
    So the question is how can I get the Macs and PCs to both connect to the printer?
    I have tried using HP LaserJet Utility (OS9 vers) to change the settings on the printer. When I try to assign a manual TCP/IP address to the printer it states that "valid IP addresses must be entered for manual configuration" (even though the address should be valid: 192.168.150.101 on my network). therefore, I have to use the "Automatically obtain TCP/IP config from the DHCP server". I have also downloaded the HP LaserJet Utility for OSX. This doesn't seem to do much, and doesn't include the same options as the OS9 version - as far as I can tell it just uses the Apple "printer setup utility".
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Thanks
    Rob

    The PC does not have to use Appletalk to communicate with the printer. If Appletalk works with the printer, let the Macs use it. After all, if you never changed anything on the printer, but just used it out of the box, there is no reason why you need to change anything for the PC.
    You should just set up the PC printing on the network as if the Macs were not there, using whatever protocol the printer and PC want. You are probably just having a problem configuring the printer interface on the PC. Be sure that you are trying to communicate with it through your network interface, not through the printer port, although that should work, too, if your PC is connected that way.

  • Recommendations for best wireless multifunction printer for Macs $100?

    Anyone with recommendations for best wireless MFP for Macs <$100.  Would like to be able to print photos too.  Need EASY set up.  Prefer two paper cartridges.  Would like to be able to print from iPad, iPhone, Laptop and Mac.  Also need to fax.

    What is the best and least expensive wireless printer for ipad2?

    Do you mean a external cd/dvd drive that connects by usb port? If you do then any brand will work. It does not have to be a apple brand for it to work on your mac. Most go for around $30 in the usa.
    I use a asus brand that cost me just under $30. Works on any computer it is connect to.

  • I have an IPad 2 and have been printing to my wireless printer for almost a year , all of sudden it states it's going to print and says its sending to that printer and nothing prints. I ran the reports on the printer and it's fine, please help!

    Double-click on your home key, find the Printer Control app, hold your finger down on it until the red circle with a white dash appears. Press on the dash, press on the home key and try again.

    Have you tried to reboot your iPad? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try agian.
    Also, try power cycling your router. Meaning, unplug it, count to 10, then plug it back in. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

  • What is the best wireless printer for the MacBook Pro?

    what is the best wireless printer for a macbook pro?

    I use an Epson NX430 (inkjet) which uses a wireless card: no issues. Also a Brother HL-3040 (laser) connected to modem by Ethernet cable: no issues. Depends on your printing needs and amount of work space available.

  • HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

    Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had  the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection???  Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
    I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I  found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

    Hey @matt4,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
    Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
    What's my Model Number?
    I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
    How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
    Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
    1. Turn your printer on
    2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
    3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
    4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
    5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
    Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
    I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
    Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Print & Scan.
    Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
    Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
    Click HTMLConfig.
    Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
    Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
    Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
    In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
    Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
    In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
    NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
    Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
    Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
    Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the  () plus sign and select your  printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
    You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
    Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

  • Wireless Printing for my Macbook???

    I recently bought a HP Photosmart C4580 Wireless Printer. It's hooked up to my I- MAC and working fine. Does anyone know how I can enable my macbook to send documents so I can print to it? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
    Thanks!!!

    Hey!
    I am "that guy" that got my hp deskjet 5850 working at home.
    Question for you... Do you have the printer connected directly (USB) to your iMac or do you have it connected to a home network?
    Choosing the type of Network Printing, wired or wireless
    If you want to print wirelessly from any machine within range, you should connect the printer to a switch/router. This could either be by physical network cable, or wireless to the switch/router.
    If you choose the network cable connection, installation goes a bit quicker.
    If you want to set up everything wireless, you still need to use a USB or network cable to setup the printer, then you can unplug the network cable and it should connect to the network using DHCP like your MacBook.
    Wireless Network Printing (Access Point, Router)
    This hp photosmart has some instructions on how to get started:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01659524&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us &product=3418707&lang=en
    Step 1. Print a test page to get the Network Settings for the printer
    (see the above link for step 1) - kinda simple
    Step 2. Get the info for you wireless network.
    *First: SSID* you need to know what the Wireless Network is called (SSID)
    *Second: Login for Router*, its good to know how to log into your router by typing in its IP address in a browser, typically the IP address is 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1 or something along those lines.
    *Third: Security* Is your network encrypted WEP/WPA with a passcode/password? Are you filtering by Machine Access Code (MAC) address for each wireless machine?
    No security at all? Its up to you
    Step 3. Install the hp driver for Mac OS X, on you iMac... later you need it for your MacBook too.
    Download this driver:
    HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.4 and v10.5
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software10/COL23697/mp-61314-1/HPInstaller_PSC4500v9.8.dmg
    (again, take a look at the Installation link at the top for how to install the driver)
    If you noticed with the install, when you try to CONNECT TO THE PRINTER, THROUGH THE NETWORK you will get an error first... then you have to use the USB cable with your iMac, and then finish the setup.
    Now the printer is setup to work wirelessly, it should find the Router each time you turn it on, and connect after 1-2 minutes. (it needs to obtain an IP address first using DHCP, which should be the default)
    You can try it with the iMac first to see if it works, then install the driver on your MacBook and connect to the Printer Through the Network... and this time it should find it without connecting a USB cable or anything else.
    IF THIS DOESNT WORK, SELL IT ON EBAY AND BUY SOMETHING ELSE

  • What is the best wireless printer for new iMac w/Lion?

    I just bought an iMac (Lion) and now, I need to buy a new printer since my old one is not wireless capable (HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One). My old G4 is still up and running (using it only for Adobe CS2 until can afford that upgrade) and the printer works fine. However, the iMac will not be in the same place as the G4, so I need a wireless printer.
    I would also like the new printer to play nice with a PC laptop (husband's for work) as well as be able to eventually print from an iTouch and iPad.
    I may be asking a lot, I know.
    I would buy AirPort if I knew it worked with my current printer, which would be great... but from what I've been able to research, that isn't possible with this model. I will eventually end up buying AirPort at some point in the future, but right now a printer is my focus and I would prefer not to buy both right now.
    So my question is...what printer would be best for both a Mac and PC without having to buy AirPort also?
    Thanks in advance!

    Whatever you do - do not by the HP8500. I am about to take a baseball bat to mine and bett the living daylights out of it. I used to have a 6500, reasonably god  but slow and woudl not scan when linked to the mac...so I 'upgraded'.
    Initially it worked well, quality is good and did everything well ....it still will not scan with the mac but will with every other lap top/PC in my house..but hat did not bother me too much. It is fast and quality is good...UNTIL
    - It drinks ink faster than than you can imagine
    - you cannot buy non hp replacement cartridges easily and not from Staples of PC World etc
    - It sense that ink is running down so keeps sending annoying messages
    - if you use a non std cartridge it registers it as empty and send more annoying messages
    - the cartridges cost about £50 to replace al four - you can buy a new kodak all in one printer for £55
    - it will print perfectly well with non HP or HP remanu cartridges, but still sends the dumb messages
    - when using HP catridges it keeps telling you to replace them even though they are not empty and theres plenety of ink (marketing scam)
    - This morning, the printer decided that the new (non HP magenta cartridge) that  put in yesterday and was quite happy with ...is now empty...it refuse to print even black until i replace that cartridge.
    I have no problem buying HP catridges if the price is fine - but the combination of a software blip plus high prices make me seethe. I will destroy this piece of junk and buy myself a Kodak or Brother - but never ever again an HP product - having spent over £3000 on PC/Laptops and printers from these bozos over the last two years they can count me out from next years forecasts

  • Where did the window go that gives the choice to connect by bonjour to a wireless printer in Mac OS 10.8?

    I am trying to set up a wireless printer to a new macbook pro.  Both the printer and the computer are on the same network but are "not connected".  The printer works fine connected USB.  In previous systems there is a window that gives the choice of how to connect and bonjour is listed along with USB.  I cannot seem to find that window in 10.8.  I think the computer is just trying to connect USB and needs to be told to look for wireless printers?  The printer does not even appear in the add window when it is unplugged.  The drivers are updated.  I have restarted everything.  I have also run the wireless set up app that came with the printer.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Thanks, Barbara

    First is the wireless in the printer connected to your router? Is the Mac connected wireless to that same router? Can the Mac ping (/YourHardDrive/Applications/Utilities/Network Utility, ping mini-tab) the printer's IP (that your wireless router gave to that printer)?
    Plus in 10.8.x to add a printer is first to get it's "driver" for that printer. Sometimes Apple might have a driver (for certain models) that will get in Software Update (when printer is attched to your Mac). The other way is to go to printer's web page and get their latest OS X drivers.
    Then once you have the drive just open System Preferences->Print & Scan pane and use the + button to add the new driver for the printer. For this networked printer make sure you get the IP of that printer because you might need that IP here.

  • HP C6180 not responding with wireless print from Mac OS X 10.9

    My Printer does not work with wireless printing from my Macbook Air OS X 10.9
    I tried all the normal stuff I can find.
    The text that is there is: The Printer is not responding.

    Hi XavierMaassen,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C6180 that you're having issues using in Mac 10.9. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will certainly do my best to assist you.
    I'm wondering how you installed the printer. If you had it installed prior to upgrading to 10.9 that could be part of the problem. There are currently no HP drivers available for this printer for 10.9, so you need to uninstall the HP software and install the printer via the Apple updates. Once you do that you should be able to print normally and scan using 3 different methods.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!
