The macbook and macbook pro laptops from apple include two usb ports that you can use to connect to your hp printer. the macintosh os x operating system comes with pre-installed software and drivers for many printers, so there is a good chance you will not need to download any additional software to connect your hp printer to your apple laptop.. When you add your printer to the printer queue on the mac instead of using the hp software, an hp driver installs through apple software update for most printers. turn on the printer, and then connect a usb cable to the printer and to an available port on the computer.. My macbook finds the printer but won't let me add it or configure through the bluetooth device function. i can send pictures from my phone to my macbook via bluetooth, and from my phone to the printer but can't get the printer installed into my macbook..
I am also trying to link my macbook pro (10.8.5) to a printer (also hp photosmart c4780) by wifi. the difference i have is that i am using an existing macbook pro and printer, the only thing i have changed (today) is the router and hence the wifi network/name.. 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.. There were two options for my printer, one was a generic hp laserjet 4100 series, and one was for the exact version of my printer, the hp laserjet 4100 series v.3010.107. i have always used the software that was the exact version of my printer..
