Check for an Internet connection
It’s best to set up your Mac mini somewhere that has a Wi-Fi network or other connection to the Internet. Your Mac mini will use that connection to complete certain setup steps. If the network requires a password, have the password ready.
Plug in only the essential devices
If you’re using an external keyboard and trackpad or mouse, turn them on or plug them into your Mac mini. If you’re using an external display, plug it in and turn it on as well, but don’t connect any other peripherals yet. And of course plug in your Mac mini.
If you’ve never used a trackpad before, here’s a tip: To click, press down or tap on the trackpad surface.
Turn on your Mac mini
Some Mac notebooks automatically start up when you connect the computer to power or open its lid. On other Mac computers, press the power button to start up.
Use the setup assistant
A series of windows will ask you for setup details, such as your Apple ID. If you’ve used iTunes or have an iPhone or iPad, you already have an Apple ID. Use the same Apple ID on your Mac mini.
We recommend that you let the setup assistant turn on FileVault, iCloud Keychain, and Find My Mac. You can also let it transfer information from another computer or Time Machine backup, or you can do that later using Migration Assistant.
You’ll be asked to create the name and password of your computer account. You’ll need this information to log in to your Mac mini, change certain settings, and install software.
Check for software updates
When the setup assistant finishes setting up your Mac mini, you’ll see your Mac desktop, the Finder menu bar, and the Dock.
Click App Store in the Dock, then find and install any software updates. After your software is up to date, you can connect any printers or other peripherals and begin using your Mac mini.

Connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network
You can connect an AirPrint printer to a Wi-Fi network for wireless printing from your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
If the printer has a built-in display
Printers with a touchscreen or other built-in display (control panel) generally expect you to use that display to select or enter the name and password of your Wi-Fi network. Check the printer’s documentation for details.
If the printer uses Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
If your Wi-Fi router isn’t made by Apple, check the router’s documentation for details about how to add a WPS printer.
If your Wi-Fi router is an AirPort Base Station:
- Open AirPort Utility, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.
- Select your base station in AirPort Utility, then enter the base station password, if prompted.
- From the menu bar, choose Base Station > Add WPS Printer.
- Select either “First attempt” or “PIN” as the type of WPS connection to allow. Then click Continue.
- If you selected “First attempt,” push the WPS button on the printer. When the printer’s MAC Address appears in AirPort Utility, click Done.
- If you selected “PIN,” enter the printer’s PIN number, which should be listed in the printer’s documentation. Then click Continue. When the printer’s MAC Address appears in AirPort Utility, click Done.
- Quit AirPort Utility.
If the printer can connect to your Mac mini via USB
You may be able to use a USB connection to set up Wi-Fi printing:
- Connect the printer to your Mac mini 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.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and Mac. The printer should remain connected to the Wi-Fi network.
If the printer can create an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network
You may be able to use the printer’s own ad-hoc Wi-Fi network to set up Wi-Fi printing:
- Install the Mac software that came with the printer, and make sure that it includes a printer setup assistant.
- Make sure that the printer’s ad-hoc Wi-Fi network is turned on. Check the printer’s documentation for details.
- Open the Wi-Fi menu on your Mac by clicking the Wi-Fi iconImage may be NSFW.

in the menu bar, then select the name of the printer’s ad-hoc Wi-Fi network. While your Mac is on the printer’s network, your Mac won’t be able to connect to the Internet or other services on your regular Wi-Fi network. - Use the printer setup assistant to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network. Check the printer’s documentation for details. The printer may restart before it connects to the network.
- Return to the Wi-Fi menu on your Mac and switch back to your Wi-Fi network.

After the printer is connected to your Wi-Fi network, you’re ready to start printing:
Resolve printer issues on your Mac
Follow these steps if you can’t get your printer to work with your Mac.
- Your printer doesn’t appear in the Printer pop-up menu of Print dialogs.
- Your printer doesn’t appear in Printers & Scanners preferences.
- Your Mac displays a message that software for your device isn’t available.
If your Mac doesn’t see your printer or have the software for it
- Make sure that your printer is turned on and ready. For help with an error light or other error condition that appears on the printer itself, check the device’s documentation or contact the manufacturer.
- If your printer is connected to the USB port of your Mac, disconnect it.
- Check for software updates to make sure that your Mac has the latest information about your printer.
Your Mac downloads software for most printers automatically, so it’s usually unnecessary to install software from the printer manufacturer. - If you disconnected your printer from the USB port in step 2, reconnect it now.
- From the Finder, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.
- Select your printer in the list of devices. You might need to wait a moment for it to appear.
If your printer doesn’t appear in Printers & Scanners preferences, click Add (+) at the bottom of the list, then choose the command to add a printer or scanner. The window that opens offers more ways to find your device:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
- Default: Choose Default to display the list of printers connected to your Mac or discoverable on your local network. You can use the search field at the top of the window to narrow your search.
- IP: Choose IP if your device is connected to your network and you know the device’s IP address (or host name) and protocol. If you don’t have this information, ask your network administrator or check your device’s documentation.
- Windows: Choose Windows if your device is connected to a PC using printer sharing, or to your network using the Windows SMB/CIFS protocol. You might first need to set up File Sharing to connect to the networked Windows resources.
If you still can’t see your printer or successfully add it, contact the printer manufacturer for support.
Clik here to view.
If your Mac has some other issue with your printer or scanner
These steps might resolve printing issues that have no other clear cause.
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.
- Select your printer or scanner in the list of devices, then click Delete (–) to remove it from the list.
- Follow the steps in the previous section to add your printer again.
- If the issue persists, Control-click anywhere in the list of devices in Printers & Scanners preferences. Then choose “Reset printing system” from the shortcut menu that appears.
Resetting the printing system causes all printers and scanners—including their queues, jobs, and custom settings—to be removed from Printers & Scanners preferences. - Follow the steps in the previous section to add your device again.
If the issue remains unresolved, take these final steps to remove any currently installed printer drivers that could be causing the issue:
- Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.
- Control-click anywhere in the list of devices, then choose “Reset printing system” from the shortcut menu that appears.
- From the Finder, choose Go > Go to Folder. Type
/Library/Printers/and click Go. - The Printers folder opens. Choose Edit > Select All to select all items in the folder.
- Choose File > New Folder with Selection to put all of the selected items into a new folder named New Folder With Items.
To save storage space, you can delete the New Folder With Items folder after completing the remaining steps. - Follow the steps in the previous section once more.
If your printing issue persists, contact the printer manufacturer for support.
