set up a Brother HL2170W to print wireless for Mac book Air

I have a Brother HL 2170W printer that is able to print wireless.  Having problems becoming it implemented.  Do not know what I do and there seems to be too many options.  Y at - it an easy way to put in place to work with my Mac book Air...

It took me 6 years to finally make it work on Mac OS X Sierra and Win10 wireless! I used to connect to the router with the Ethernet cable.

FORGET what brother can offer about the installation, they make unnecessary difficult.

1. first of all use your connection Ethernet (printer with router) and mark the IP address of the printer: 192.XXX. XX. XX

2. use any browser, type the IP address in the search bar and press return.

3. you will be to set up printer Web page, allowing you to make changes: SSID, WAP2 password, etc.

You will need administrator access to change settings: user: admin password: access (can also be found in 'Help')

Better to download and install the BRM clear admin tool to find the new IP when a wireless connection for the changes to come.

The Mac automatically finds the printer and driver.

Good luck.

  • Unable to print from the Mac Book Air (OS 10.9.2) on HP Envy 5532

    Hello

    I just bought a new HP Envy 5532 printer but cannot print to the device? (Wireless)

    When I add the printer using 'System of preferences, Printers & Scanners etc', I get the following message:

    "Unable to verify the printer on your network" unable to connect to 192.168.1.116 due to an error. You want to create the printer?

    If I click on continue, he adds the printer ok, however, if I try and use it, work just sits in the print queue without actually printing.

    I am able to ping and connect to the printer using http. I am almost able to scan a document so that it is directly connected via http, however, once a doc has been scanned, I am unable to 'download' or see it in reality.

    It seems that network connectivity is fine, however, as I still can't really complete all print jobs.

    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you

    Hi JMatt100,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I see your message you have a craving 5532 that doesn't seem to connect with your Mac running 10.9. I'm sorry to hear what is happening, but I will certainly do my best to help!

    I recommend that you try power cycling your network, with the printer and the Mac. To do this, please turn the printer and the Mac off and wait until they close completely. Then pull the power cord on the router for 30 seconds. Once the router is plugged in please wait for all the lights to return to normal before you turn on the printer and the Mac back on. Once it's done see if Mac acts differently when you try to connect with envy.

    If the problem persists, I would you reset your printing system (do not add the printer back immediately), and then perform a check/repair your disk permissions. Once these full please download software HP for your printer and see if you can get things working properly using the HP software.

    I hope hear from you soon!

  • Unable to set up LaserJet Pro 1025nw to print wirelessly on a PC of Windows 8.1

    My HP CP1025nw printer will not work in my new laptop and Dell technical support is unable to help me.

    The indicator light (blue on top) flashes slowly.

    I have a NETGEAR router and it worked after that first implemented by a Dell technician.

    The printer works fine when I connect with the USB cable from the laptop.

    any suggestions?

    Hey moon2,.

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    With the indicator (blue up on one) flashes slowly, it means that the printer is not connected to your wireless router. When the light is lit in blue, this means that the printer is connected to the wireless network.

    To start, I suggest to unplug printer form the rear of the unit for 30 seconds, then plug the power supply back in. Then, you will need to reset the default settings. I've included the document "reset the printer to factory default settings".

    Once this step is completed, you will need to uninstall the printer software. I've included the document "uninstalling the printer software.

    Now once the installation is complete, you will need to install the printer software. When installing the printer software, you first need to connect with a USB cable when prompted, but you will be able to configure the parameters by installing wireless. I've included a link to "Full Feature software and driver".

    Please let me know if you are able to print wireless following the steps above.

  • OfficeJet Pro 6830: MacBook Pro does not print wirelessly for Officejet Pro 6830

    I used to have an old HP Officejet 7210 who was once able to print wirelessly from my MacBook pro, but at some point, wasn't able to do wireless and had to print with usb connection.

    For Black Friday, we bought an Officejet Pro 6830 and on internet I downloaded the latest driver for my MacBook Pro and my windows laptop of wifes and our desktop PC. The mobile office and windows had no problem, but once more, I was not able to print wireless from the MacBook Pro. When I try to print wireless the printer dialogue indicates he's trying to deal with and then it says "the printer is currently in use". So I'll still have to plug the USB to print with this new printer is less than a month.

    I was able to print the wireless test page and he noted that the test page bypassed print drivers. In addition, I am able to go into the printer utilities and see how much ink, I have and the various settings of the printer but I just cannot print documents from applications wireless.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Try now to go to System Preferences > print & scan and click on the sign more. you see the printer listed?

    May you had prior display the problem started with your previous printer? for example a new router, changes of settings, etc. ?

  • C6380 print wirelessly on Mac

    I recently bought a C6380 and I can't get to print wireless.  I use the latest Mac drivers (10.1) which seems to be more recent than the software by download from the HP support site.

    I use a Netgear 834 G router with WPA encryption. There is a DHCP reservation for the printer and the printer's wireless signals the strength of wi - fi is excellent.

    I can connect to the printer via the web interface and also he ping from the command prompt

    I can scan the Mac using the HP software to PDF, Image or OCR.

    I can search the ink levels from the HP software

    but when I print, it says "Connection", then he said: it's "transfer of data to the printer" and finally he loses just connection.  Meanwhile, the printer does nothing.  If you look at the web interface, while he is supposed to be transfer data, the interface shows just ready...

    I tried to reset print Mac OSX and add the printer again.

    I tried to uninstall the HP software and drivers, restart and then put it back.  There is no update available.

    Any ideas?

    Remove the printer again, then click on the '+' to add back.

    You will see first he showed a 'Hello' link, but wait a bit and it appears also as a network connection.  Add this way.

    If this does not work, you are looking to replace the router.  A Google search reveals that very few people are using this router with the Mac Leoaprd, or use at all besides.  Seems that it was mainly distributed to subscribers of an ISP called Sky.

    Models of router most commonly used are often updated firmware available to ensure ongoing compatibility with changes to the operating system.  Unusual models as it would not get these updates.

  • Photosmart 4380 cannot be connected wireless for Mac

    Hello

    I had the Photosmart C4380 for a little more than two years now. I have always used wireless in a network with multiple Macs. However, I lost the Setup wireless when switching to a new provider and a new router and have not managed to reconfigure to print wireless again. I can print without problem through the USB port.

    Here's the problem: in trying to set up using the Configuration Wizard, the printer is recognized as connected via USB. However, when I check the possibility to configure the wireless connection, I get a message that I need to connect the printer via the USB port. Somehow, it does not seem to recognize that the printer is already connected via USB. I tried to use another USB cable, but that does not work either.

    Strangely, the printer does not appear in Hello either.

    I already tried to restore the default settings of the printer network, and allows switching on and outside wireless radio, but nothing.

    I use Mac OS 10.6.5, which should have all the correct drivers built in.

    I get the error message is 'to configure the network settings for the selected device, you will need to temporarily connect via the USB port. Can disconnect USB once the settings have been transferred". Problem is that it is connected, but somehow my stupid Mac does not seem to understand.

    Someone knows what to do here? I'm getting desperate!

    Here are a few ideas:

    1. to connect the configuration wizard, make sure that the USB cable is disconnected.

    2. maybe you software HP DO NOT intended to be 10.6?  If so you have to get rid of it with the 'scrubber' option: If you are using

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 a: 8500 a plug the USB to the PC and wireless for Mac

    Our Officejet Pro 8500 a is connected via USB to our HP Pavilion running Windows 7. This connection works well. However, I tried to connect my iMac (OS 10.10.2) to the wireless printer with no success. If I disconnect the USB from the PC, I can connect wirelessly from my Mac. My question is: the Officejet Pro 8500 a does support multiple types of connections - one by USB and the other by wireless? If so, then I would appreciate help to understand why my Mac is not the 8500.

    Other details: our wireless router is Apple Airport Extreme. The wireless connection on the printer seems to work (I can print the details of this connection). However, when I try to add the 8500 to the Mac by using add printer, the printer does not appear. (The printer is lit and shows five bars of signal strength, SSID is correct and a valid IP address).

    My Mac is connected to the wireless network.

    Any suggestions?

    I was able to solve the problem of the printer with ethernet connection to the router that provides network wireless for PC and Mac. Now two machines are able to access the printer with no problems. By connecting with an ethernet cable, connect the printer wireless has been disabled. It had to be done because the wireless radio had become unreliable. The idea was that the blue wireless light never came. Thus by connecting wired LAN, all problems are gone. Thanks to the team of Geed for help.

    10. Click on reset printing system.
    11. Plug the USB cable from the Mac to the printer.
    12. Click on the printer on the left.
    13. On the right click on Setup, then utility, open utility printer and EWS Server.
    14. In this window, click the network tab.

    19. Select your type of encryption WPA/WPA2.
    20. Enter your password wireless in this window.
    21. Click on apply.
