Hi @brewske49,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

Connecting your HP Tango printer to your MacBook Air via Bluetooth is not a supported feature as HP Tango printers use Wi-Fi for connectivity rather than Bluetooth. Instead, you can connect your HP Tango printer to your MacBook Air using Wi-Fi. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Connect the Printer to Your Wi-Fi Network

Download the HP Smart App:

• Install the HP Smart app from the App Store on your MacBook Air.

Prepare the Printer:

• Ensure the printer is powered on and within range of your Wi-Fi network.

Open the HP Smart App:

• Launch the HP Smart app and follow the prompts to set up a new printer.
• Select "Set Up a New Printer".

Follow the On-Screen Instructions:

• The app will guide you through connecting the printer to your Wi-Fi network. You might need your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password.

Step 2: Add the Printer to Your MacBook Air

Open System Preferences:

• Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.

Add the Printer:

• Click the + button to add a new printer.
• Select your HP Tango printer from the list of available printers.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.

Step 3: Print a Test Page

Open a Document:

• Open any document or file you want to print.

Print:

• Go to File > Print and select your HP Tango printer.
• Print a test page to ensure the printer is connected and functioning correctly.

Troubleshooting Tips

Ensure the Printer is on the Same Network:

• Make sure your MacBook Air and HP Tango printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Restart Devices:

• Sometimes restarting both your MacBook Air and the printer can help resolve connectivity issues.

Update Firmware and Software:

• Ensure your MacBook Air and HP Tango printer have the latest firmware and software updates installed.
