I’ve been having difficulty getting my Mac connected to a wireless printer. No matter how I configured it, it would always enter paused mode whenever I printed a document. It turns out that all I had to do was connect to it via IP address on the Add Printer dialog. To get the IP address, first attach to the printer using AirPrint. Then, you can look at the printer’s webpage and get the IP address from there.

I’ve written a few posts on my musical instrument setup. I’ve learned that it isn’t as easy as I thought it would be. There are so many variables that it makes it hard to land on any one configuration. Currently, I am making my setup focused on the hardware, not the computer. However, I have the computer connected to a Scarlett 2i2, which is connected to my 18i8 audio interface that’s connected directly to the MPC.

After working with the setup from my previous post, I ran into issues with the dawless abilities. I’ve created a new setup that involves keeping the computer in the loop, so I can add VSTs and other benefits. I decided to connect the Scarlett 18i8 to the computer so I can still have sound coming from the computer. I then plugged the Mixer and MPC into it so I could record in my DAW.
