How to connect printer with mac?
2
If the printer has a built-in display
  • Printers with a touchscreen or other built-in
    display (control panel) generally expect you to
    use that display to select or enter the name and
    password of your Wi-Fi network. Check the
    printer's documentation for details.

3
If the printer uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
  • If your Wi-Fi router isn't made by Apple, check
    the routers documentation for details about how
    to add a WPS printer.
  • If your Wi-Fi router is an AirPort Base Station
  • -gt Open AirPort Utility, which is in the
    Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
  • -gt Select your base station in AirPort
    Utility, then enter the base station password, if
    prompted.
  • -gt From the menu bar, choose Base Station gt
    Add WPS Printer.
  • -gt Select either "First attempt" or "PIN" as
    the type of WPS connection to allow. Then click
    Continue.
  • If you selected "First attempt," push
    the WPS button on the printer. When the printer's
    MAC Address appears in AirPort
    Utility, click Done.
  • If you selected "PIN," enter the
    printer's PIN number, which should be listed in
    the printer's documentation.
    Then click Continue. When the printer's MAC
    Address appears in AirPort
    Utility, click Done.
  • Quit AirPort Utility.

If the printer can connect to your Mac via USB
  • You may be able to use a USB connection to set up
    Wi-Fi printing-
  • Connect the printer to your Mac using the
    appropriate USB cable.
  • Install the Mac software that came with the
    printer, and make sure that it includes a printer
    setup assistant.
  • Use the printer setup assistant to connect the
    printer to your Wi-Fi network. Check the
    printer's documentation for details.
  • Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and
    Mac. The printer should remain connected to the
    Wi-Fi network.

If the printer can create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network
  • You may be able to use the printer's own ad-hoc
    Wi-Fi network to set up Wi-Fi printing
  • Install the Mac software that came with the
    printer, and make sure that it includes a printer
    setup assistant.
  • Make sure that the printer's ad-hoc Wi-Fi network
    is turned on. Check the printer's documentation
    for details.
  • Open the Wi-Fi menu on your Mac by clicking the
    Wi-Fi icon in the menu bar, then select the name
    of the printers ad-hoc Wi-Fi network. While your
    Mac is on the printer's network, your Mac won't
    be able to connect to the Internet or other
    services on your regular Wi-Fi network.
  • Use the printer setup assistant to connect the
    printer to your Wi-Fi network. Check the
    printer's documentation for details. The printer
    may restart before it connects to the network.
  • Return to the Wi-Fi menu on your Mac and switch
    back to your Wi-Fi network
