I have a MacBook Pro and an HP ENVY 110 SERIES All-In-One . I can't seem to get a network set up or either one to locate or connect to the other one.

I've spent hours, actually probably days, trying to do this but it's not working. I've had the ENVY since Nov

and have not been able to print - much less do anything else with it.

My internet is CLEAR wireless. I use the little USB 4G Mobil Modem. This new HP ENVY is also wireless.


I know I can't be online and print at the same time unless I get a router.


I also know that I can go offline and change the network pref to "airport" so I can print. Meaning I'll have to change

back and forth but for my uses, that's ok..at least for right now.


What I can't seem to get set-up correctly is my own local network.

I'm pretty sure it's suppose to be done using "Airport".

Obviously, I'm doing something wrong in establishing my network.


The printer is listed on my printer preferences and shown as "offline" "default". I assume that means the ENVY

is my default printer. Great! At least my Pro knows it's suppose to connect to the ENVY once everything's set-up correctly.


Now, if someone could just tell me exactly, step-by-step what to do to get that done....

I'd be soooo very happy!


Thank you!

Well... no help was found here.. so I abandoned the wireless- ness of my printer. I bought a

small 10 port hub because only 2 USB ports really isn't enough with wireless mouse, wireless internet

and any kind of printer. I also bought a long USB cable. I now print--wired since this can be done

as an alternative to wireless with this printer. Because I don't want a cable "hanging around"

when the printer is not in use, I simple disconnect it and reconnect when I want to print.


It's a temporary solution others may find helpful as well. Apparently there's been a lot of

confusion and problems getting this printer set up wirelessly with our MacBooks.


Shame on HP for not helping us out!
