124 Appendix D Top Ten Questions

How do I set up my printer? Is it compatible with my MacBook Pro?

Begin by connecting your printer and installing any software according to the

instructions that came with your printer. Next, open System Preferences and click the

Print & Fax icon. Use the Print & Fax pane to configure your MacBook Pro to access the

printer. You’ll find lots of information about setting up printers in Mac Help (choose

Help > Mac Help from the menu bar and search for “printer”). Also see “Connecting to a

Printer” on page 47 of this manual.

If your printer isn’t working as expected, check the manufacturer’s website for updated

print drivers. Often the latest printer software is available for downloading.

If you sent a print job to your printer but it’s not printing, check to see if the job is

stopped or on hold by clicking the printer icon in the Dock. (If no icon appears in the

Dock, open Printer Setup Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and double-click

the printer’s name.) If the window for the printer says “Job Stopped,” click the Start Jobs

button. If “Hold” appears beside the job name, resume printing by clicking the job

name and clicking Resume. If a print job has stopped printing because of a technical

error, you can delete the faulty job by selecting the job and clicking Delete. You can

then try printing the job again.
