Q: Printer Not Connected error with HP Wireless Printer
Hi everyone,
Just bought an iMac, first time ever using OSX and trying to add my new HP 2540 wireless printer. I've spent 4 hours on this so far and now looking for help!
I've followed every instruction to the letter - the wireless connection with the printer is fine as I printed off a report, it will print connected via a cable and it recognises my printer in applications and I have done the set up via disc about 20 times uninstallig each time and starting from scratch again. I've downloaded the latest driver from HP. All I get is a 'printer is not connected/printing looking for printer' endless bar when I click 'print'. It seems to be an issue of it not recogising it over the wireless connection despite it being connected to my router.
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
Many Thanks!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
