Okay so i got the free printer when i gotmy new MPB and i followed all of the directions and it is connected to my network and everything but whenever i try to print something the printer says that it is offline.... but i can go into it and wirelessly have it preform task like head cleaning and stuff but yet when i print it says error. I cant think of why it would be doing this any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
yeh i have read through all the troubleshooting and i just cant figure out whats going on.
 
I found out how to fix it!!!!!!!!!!

All you do is go into System Preferences<Print & Fax<Press the - button to delete your printer<Press the + button to add new printer<Click "More Printers" tab it should search and find your printer<Click on your printer

Then you should be good to go...you can press "Options and supplies to change your Printer Name and Location if you want (I did i didn't like the wierd name)

Let me know if this does/doesn't work
 
thanks it worked out perfectly everything is up and running and i have put it on 2 other macs in my house already
