Ethernet Port Not Working

I have a 2 year old MacBook Pro. I have been connecting it to a HP printer. Today when I tried to print I keep getting a message that the printer is not connected. I tried another printer and it says it is not recognizing the printer. What can I do? Is the port broke. Can it be fixed? I need to be able to print.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 7.1

Hello LinPoo,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

For more information, take a look at:

  1. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
  2. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
  3. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.

If the issue persists, try these additional steps:

  1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
  2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.


Have a nice day,

Mario
