Wireless printer sharing- Verizon only has automated help-or any help- for windows. i have a mac.

i have a new Brother 490CW which instructs me to "push the WiFi protected set up button" on the router. the Verizon supplied router Ultraline series only has on/off power button. Verizon's help is abysmal. The automated response sends me back the the help for windows. can anyone tell me how to set up this printer as wireless?
thanks.

Pretty good directions here : http://www.brother-usa.com/support/wireless/Step1.aspx?ProductID=MFC-490CW
You'll find the SSID (ESSID) + WEP key on a sticker on the Verizon-supplied router.

Nothing happens when I press PRINT via wireless printer sharing

I have Mac G5 and Mac Mini, both with Mac OS X 10.4.7, both with Airport Extreme cards connected wirelessly to my Linksys router. I have Printer Sharing enabled on the G5 and selected "shared HP printer" on the Mac Mini. Everything appears to be setup correctly. However, I display the Print... dialog on the Mac Mini and click OK and nothing happens. I can click until I'm blue in the face. Nothing happens when I click Preview either. This has been this way for a long time. I THINK, and I repeat, I THINK there was a known issue with this that was fixed in, say, 10.3.x, and I recall ONE TIME was I able to print. I'm trying to recall, but I think when I upgraded to 10.4 I'm back to nothing happening.
Any clues? I'm Mac savvy and, as far as I know, have everything set correctly--not that it should require much effort. Second, as a possible linked problem, similarly, when the Mac Mini sees the G5 in the Network Browser and I click "Connect..." the connection is made, then disconnected a few seconds later. So I'm thinking something may be hosed in the sharing department of the G5, but I wouldn't know what or where.
Thanx for any assistance!

This thread may be of some help, though I am not completely sure if it applies to wireless printer sharing; it's the same symptom though:

Another possibility is to make sure the machines have the same version of the HP drivers.
Hope this helps.

Since upgrading (FF29.0-Windows 8.0), only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the website name;other tabs have no name,only site logo. How do I fix?

I recently upgraded to Firefox 29.0 (running Windows 8.0). Since upgrading, only the active tab on any given Firefox window has the site name. All other inactive tabs generally have a site logo on the left side of the tab, but none of the other tabs have the website name. If I push Alt + Tab to cycle through the windows, the website name will then show up on each tab, but once I select a window to work in the website names disappear from the tabs again, except for the active tab. Is this a feature of the upgrade? Is there a setting to have the site names appear? I would really like to have the ability to see what site is on each tab without selecting.

'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

HT4972 Hi I have an iPad with iOS 612 and am trying to connect a wireless printer, I don't think it's doing it because I don't have iOS 10 or more. Is this right?.

Hi I have an iPad with iOS 612 and am trying to connect a wireless printer, I don't think it's doing it because I don't have iOS 10 or more. Is this right?.

If you want to use AirPrint - the buit in feature in iOS that allows you to print directly from the iPad without another app - you need to be using an AirPrint Printer. There is a list of those printers here.
AirPrint basics
If your printer is not on the list, you may still be able to use your current printer, but will need to purchase a printing app for the iPad from the App Store.
I don't understand you reference to iOS 10 unless you mean OS X10 for Mac.

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?

Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party voice dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.
IMac, Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, 3.5 GHz Intel core i 7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DD3, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, Dragon Dictate 4.0.2

You cannot run a Windows application on a Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

I have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB

You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external.

Help with PC and Powerbook G4 wireless printer sharing

Help! I have two PC desktops, one PC laptop and one Powerbook G4. I have a Linksys wireless router, a cable modem, and a D-Link print server. All of the computers, including the mac are on a working home network. The Three PCs work great with print server, but I can not get the mac set up with the print server. I have talked to Apple, network magic (which I use both for the PC and mac) and D-Link. Can you tell me how I can set this up.

I have a very similar problem. I have 4 pcs and a G5 hooked into my wireless router and cable modem. All of the computers are working however, I cannot see my G5 on the network. I do have a printer hooked directly to the G5, but want it to work on the PCs as well. I am assuming that I need to share the Mac with the rest of the network, however, I went to system preferences and I noticed that I do not have a sharing button at all on the list, I know that it is supposed to be under Internet & Network. I am brand new to the Mac world and have no idea of why it is not there. Is this something that I have to load from the software? Thanks for any help you may be able to share.

Wireless printer sharing with windows 7 and vista operating systems.

hello can anyone help me?
i have a new HP pc with windows 7 OS, and have an epson PX710W 3in1 printer.
i want to connect a laptop with vista OS to share the printer (wireless set up).
the pc will print documents ok via wireless link, but when i power up the laptop it appears to inhibit the printing function (document will not print).
i have set up file/ print sharing but there is the problem. it appears to me that sharing is only possible between pc,s etc with windows 7 OS via the homegroup set up. Has anyone encountered this problem at all, has anyone any ideas? or is it a configuration problem that i'm not aware of?

I found that I had issues with getting all of these to work - individually. I have an XPPro (32) pc trying to print to Win7Ultimate printer - printer is shared with all settings wide open, works great with another 7 or Vista machine, but same errors
as above for XP. I got it to work an old way, and then the "local port" way worked. I don't really know why as yet, but I am investigating.
My Solution -
1. As stated in other posts, install the printer locally on the XP machine. Make sure that it prints.
2. Connect the printer to the 7 machine, print a test, then change the file and print sharing options to "yes". I also installed the "Universal Driver" for my printer - HP1200 Laserjet.
3. Make sure that the Network type that the 7 machine sees is "Work" or "Home", not "Public". - I don't know if this really did anything or not, but I did make the change - mine thought the network was "Public".
4. Go back to the XP machine, if you get errors when you add the "Local Port" as suggested, then do this -
Warning Old Dos Trick -
- Open a Command Prompt, then type (without quotes) "net use Lpt1 \\COMPUTERNAME\PRINTERSHARE " - where "computername" is the name of the computer and sharename is the shared name of the printer
on that computer.
- you SHOULD see "command completed successfully", if not check to make sure that you have rights on the 7 machine. Now you should be able to print a test page to the printer. CAUTION - it took awhile for the changes to
take, so you may have the hourglass looking at you for a few minutes. - Once you reboot this will not work as the connection is just for that session.
To explain: this command is the dos version of what happens when you re-route output to a different destination - thus any traffic to LPT1 goes to \\computername\sharename.
5. After this worked, I then could add the "local port", as detailed earlier and had no errors.
Hope this helps someone else!

Wireless Printer Sharing Crashes Programs

I have a wireless network at home, with two Macbooks and a G5 connected to an HP 8200 Photosmart printer. The printer is shared, and my old G4 powerbook and iBook can print to them without issue. On the MacBooks, I can see the shared printer in the Print Dialog, but if I select one, I get the spinning pinwheel for about 30 seconds, and then the application suddenly quits. This has happened with several different applications.
I have tried the following:
* rebooting
* repairing permissions
* attempting to print from a "clean" test user account
* using Printer Setup Repair to completely reset the printing system
I called Apple today and after an hour on the phone with the woman, we got disconnected. We established that my Macbook can print on my HP 8200 Photosmart printer both when directly connected and, weirdly, just the once over my appletalk network. Otherwise, every program just crashes when I go to print. Very irritating and it happens on both of my Macbooks. If anyone out there has a solution, I'd love to hear it

I have a fix for the MacBook print button crashing
application programs.
You need to trash the existing HP printer folder (in
applications folder) and delete the printer profile
in the System Preferences/Print & Fax.
Once the old stuff is deleted, go to hp.com and
download and install the latest driver and/or
software and driver applications.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?lc=en&
cc=us〈=en&product=441245&dlc=en&os=219
The issue is the latest driver is coded Mac Universal
which works with the Intel architecture in the MB.
This fixed my print crashes. I have a HP 2570 series
all-in-one printer connected via AirPort.
For those of you not using HP printers, go to your
printer manufacturer's web site and check latest
driver availalbe for your printer. Most likely they
will have a newer MB compatible driver.
Good Luck!
Black Macbook, iMac G4, iBook G3,
Grape iMac, Mac 6100 Mac OS X (10.4.2)
I tried it. Deleted the HP stuff and the hp stuff in my Library/Printers folder. Installed the drivers from the HP website. Everything still crashes. Anyone else with an idea?

64 gb Ipad 2 now only has 13 gb available. Help Me.

I have a 64 gb ipad 2 on 5.0.1 firmware. When i plug it into itunes it only recognizes 13 gbs. My computer only recognizes 13gb. I restored it multipole times but still it only has that much space. I have no idea whats going on. Please help me before I break it in half.

When connected to iTunes, what does it show on the memory bar at the bottom of the iTunes screen?
If 64GB, restore as new, i.e. without your backup. Don't sync anything... see what it says when factory fresh.
If still a problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar and get it replaced under warranty.
