How do I get my MacBook to wirelessly print to my printer? -

I have the printer selected in my printer selection but nothing happens when I try to print.

That all depends on the printer model and the OS X version. MacBooks came with Tiger in 2006 and much of 2007 and with Leopard after that. Please send in a new question and mention the exact model of the printer (including any quot;i, e, or nquot; at the end of the model name) as well as the version of OS X. By the way, the printer will remain listed even if it is powered off. That name in the list simply tells you that it was installed at one time. It doesn t mean it is connected to the MacBook -- it doesn t mean it isn t, either. Some printers have a print server built-in. Others come with or expect you to buy, an externally connected print server. If your printer is one of the latter type, you need to buy either the print server recommended by the manufacturer, or use either Apple s AirPort base station or a Time Capsule as a print server. To use wireless printing with Airport base station or Time Capsule as the print server, see the articles linked below. For setup through the printer s own print server, see the manufacturer s Website.
