Hi,
You most likely will need to go to your Apple Menu, then to System
Preferences, then to Printers and Fax. There, you'll see a list of
printers available in a table. If you don't see your printer, you'll
need to add it with he plus button or add printer button. Here's
where it gets tricky. Depending on the type of network printer you
have, you may or may not see it in the list that comes up. Ideally,
you'll want to use IP printing instead of Bonjour for reasons I won't
go into here, but that will require you to configure your network
printer with a static IP address, or configure your router to always
give the same IP address to your printer. IF this confuses you, try
simply using Bonjour printing and just add it. the trick is if you
sometimes fail to print something, go back to your printer and fax
system preferences, delete the printer in the list, and add it again.
Sometimes this happens with bonjour printers, more frequently than it
should, and it's one case where Macs don't just work.

Hi,
My printer is connected via network to my router, and I would like
it to work over my Wifi network, should I simply try printing
something and perhaps the same thing as you suggest below might
occur?
Thanks.
Kirsten.

Hi Kirsten,
Try plugging in the printer via USB. OS X should recognize the
printer right away and will install/activate the necessary drivers.
Let me know if you have trouble off list.
