Re: HP LaserJet 3015

Scott:

I just bought a MacBook Air and tried to connect my HP LaserJet 3015 via the
wireless network. The printer is working correctly on the LAN using a
couple of Windows pcs. The printer is connected to a print server and then
connected to the wireless network. As I am new in Mac OS, can someone give
me guidance how to configure the Mac pc to print to the printer. Your
assistance is appreciated.

Try this (works for me on several wireless Macs and an HP LaserJet
P2015 connected as yours is.):

Ensure that the HP is turned on and ready and that you are connected to
the wireless network.

Open System Preferences and select the "Print & Fax" Preference Pane. I
assume that in the window that opens you will see no printers in the
left column--where a list of installed printers appears. Click the plus
sign + at the bottom of the left column to add a printer.

In the dialog box that opens the "Default" tab should be selected.
Click it if it is not. Wait a few moments (in my case, perhaps 10
seconds). The name of the HP printer should appear under Printer Name.
Click on the name once to select it.

Under the Printer Name window are three lines: Name, Location, and
Print Using. Information should appear in the first and third lines.
You may rename the printer in the first line. You may type a
description of its location in the second line. (Both of the above are
optional.) The third line, "Print Using:" should show "HP LaserJet 3015
Series" or similar -- the Mac OS has automatically selected the proper
driver for the printer.

At the bottom right, click "Add." Done. Your printer is ready to use.

The above procedure works for me every time on every Mac (we have 10 or
so Macs in our house, five of them in daily use.) If the procedure
doesn't work for you, please post that information and we'll delve more
deeply.

Michael Vilain suggested "Printer Setup Utility" in the Utilities
folder. M. Vilain must be using an earlier version of the OS, as that
utility has been replaced by the "Print & Fax" Preference Pane.

Good luck,

Davoud
