I need some help macforum user with my HP laser jet 3055 printer and hp photo smart premium web c309n-s.
It won't connect to my macbook it connects fine to my mac mini and lenovo yoga 3 14 inch.

I did the basic steps resting printer settings and i reseted the router.
What can i do at my end ?
 
When i click on the plus symbol in print setting on mac it does not show up none of my printers and when i dod the same thing on mac mini it shows my printers and yes over wifi
 
How is your laser printer connected to your network?
Have you logged into your router to see if it's listed as one of your devices?
Its connect wired to ethernet and yes it shows on my airport utility when i connect my printer on mac mini it detects fine and also my windows machine on my macbook does not detect it
 
If its not detected then set it up manually, settings/printers, click on "+" and choose IP, get the IP address from the device list on the router and go from there.

Another possibility is to share the printer on the Mac Mini and connect the MBP to the shared printer via the Mac Mini.
 
get the IP address from the device list on the router


As here, I have no idea what router you are using so can't advise further on that but usually if you log into the router and look for a "device list" or "DHCP client list" it will be there.

But if it works via the MM then you are good.
