HP PhotoSmart C4385 All-in-One Printer Logo
Posted on Aug 15, 2011

How do I get my Photosmart C4385 printer to print wirelessly with my Mac Book Pro? The Wireless Network Test Report from the printer says that I have successfully setup my wireless printer. It has the hardware address of the Mac and the network name (hpsetup - this is different from my wifi address - is that the problem?) On my Mac in the upper right screen when I click on the wireless icon it says my WiFi is on and I am connected to WIN067 (my wireless network) and halfway down the list there is a section labeled devices and it says hpsetup (the nework name recognized by the printer). The printer works fine when the usb is plugged in, but when I unplug the usb it says the printer is not connected. I have Lion OS on my Mac and I have run the software update from HP. However, the HP Setup Assistant stops responding when I get to the point where I am supposed to 'configure your device for a wireless network'. When I click continue from this screen it stops responding...so I have not input the password from my router for the secure network. I am thinking this is a problem, but I don't know how to get past the fact that it stops responding. I called Apple and they say it is not their problem (which it isn't). HP wants to charge me $20 to give me the solution...Can you help! Thank you!

SOURCE: HP printer cannot find access point and I'm not sure what to do.

You must first connect your printer to the pc using usb cable, then run installation wizard that is on the CD that came with the printer.

Wizard will guide you through the setup orcess where you will provider your routers ssid (linksys) to your printer, and your printer will use that ssid to connect to your router.

After the Wizard setup is done, it will tell you to disconnect the usb cable and only then your printer will work on wireless.

Good luck,
Milan

When installing the printer click on local printer and uncheck the box below it. I think it says something like locate my device. then on next screen click create new port, you should see USB001 in there.
