Cannot connect to printer
We just bough an HP officejet 4500 wireless printer/scanner/copier/fax. We installed it on the main computer and set up the wireless. We tested it with that one and then I added it to my MacBook Pro. It shows in the list but when I go to print it either says "unable to connect to printer" or "cannot connect to host XXXXX"
Ive read many discussion boards, removed and reinstalled the printer and I even installed the driver from the internet. Same thing. I know it may sound stubborn but I do not want to connect the computer to the printer physically, the purpose is for it to be wireless now that it's attached to the network.
I don't understand why it cannot detect it. One thing I read had to do with the "IP" list in the adding printer/fax. But I only have three options as opposed to some others I read, mine are IPP, LPD, and HP JetDirect. But when I enter the Mac address from the back of the unit I get the "generic" printer options..
I could really use some help on tackling this problem. It's been frustrating me for over 2 hours now. (now 12:43am EST)
I thank you in advance. Hope to hear from someone soon.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)
