in the Dock, click Printers & Scanners, then click Add . (You may have to connect the printer to

AirPlay
Display your MacBook Pro screen on your TV using AirPlay Mirroring. If your HDTV is connected
to Apple TV, and Apple TV is on the same Wi-Fi network as your MacBook Pro, you can mirror the
MacBook Pro display on your TV screen or use the HDTV as a second display.
Use AirPlay Mirroring. Click the AirPlay icon in the menu bar, then choose your Apple TV.
When an AirPlay display is active, the icon turns blue.
In some cases, you can use an AirPlay display even if you’re not on the same Wi-Fi network as
Apple TV (called peer-to-peer AirPlay). To use peer-to-peer AirPlay, you need an Apple TV (3rd
generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with Apple TV software 7.0 or later.
Apple TV and AirPort base stations are sold separately at store.apple.com or your local Apple
Retail Store.

second display with your MacBook Pro, see Use an external display.
