HP Printer via Wirleless Network to Mac Pro Laptop

‎08-08-2009 12:22 PM

Can anyone tell me how to setup a Macbook Pro to connect to an HP Photosmart C4480 printer that I have setup on a wireless home network. I have installed the latest print drivers on the Mac but it still will not recognize the HP Printer on my network. I have verified that the Mac is connected to the wireless network. Thanks..

The C4480 can only be connected by the USB cable and not wirelessly.

The HP is hooked up to a desktop but I also print wireless from another windows laptop. I am asking how I can get the Mac to print wireless like my other laptop.

The HP printer is hooked up to a desktop with Vista. I have another windows based laptop PC that I am able to print from wireless thru my home network. The problem is with just purchased Mac, it does not recognize the HP printer.

i have an HP printer connected to a Dell pc.  the pc is also connected to a wireless hub.  We just got a mac pro lap top and we are connected to the wireless hub.  We can print to the hp printer if directly connected with a usb cable.  I can't figure out how to print from the Mac through the wireless connection
