Wireless Printer Help.

[Gibson88]

Hey I've just set up a new printer with my Mac. (First time setting a printer up with any computer).

Everything went smooth, but I can't get it set up wirelessly. It works over the USB cable fine, and I've ticked the sharing box's to print and scan but it just doesn't seem connected when I unplug it.

Can anyone help?

It would help if you gave some more details, such as:

• What version of Mac OS X are you running?
• Which printer are you trying to connect?

What printer and what Mac OS X version do you use?

Yeah you're right sorry. It's an HP Photosmart C4780 with 10.6.2.

I can't find the printers IP address, it's not showing up on my router for some reason.

Have you set up the printer to allow it to join your wireless network?

I don't know how, I can see a set up guide or anything anywhere?

The manufacturer's site is usually a wonderful place to start. Hewlett Packard even has a drivers and downloads page for all of their products. That's where I found this:
