MacBook Pro and HP 8500: How to print while being online?

Hi everybody,


I just can't figure it out...


I can connect seperately to my printer and to the internet, but not simultaniously.


So, for ex when I want to print a document while being online, I have to disconnect form the net, connect to the printer, connect again to the printer.


All wireless but annoying, how can I solve it? I'm sure it must be possible!


Thank you for any advise.

Hello Patrick,


Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with printing wirelessly from your MacBook Pro.


It sounds like your printer is not connected to your Wi-Fi network. I recommend reviewing the following article for steps to join your printer to your Wi-Fi network so that you do not have to switch your network to print:
