• LaserJet M1212nf: Problems setting up wireless printing

  I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my office, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wireless. I spent probably 10 + hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.

  It drives me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a society of software and very savvy in computer science. However, my non-techie family have all managed to set up wireless printing at their home in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.

  Here are the steps that I followed, although I also tried many variations, like trying with my USB cable connected or disconnected.

  (1) uninstall the current installation of the printer (USB).

  (2) on the printer itself, make sure that the settings > network settings are the default values.

  (3) using the latest drivers and installation .exe from the HP site, start a new installation of the printer.

  (4) when you are prompted, select "wireless."

  RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and indicates that he is there any printer on the network. (Huh? Which network?)

  (5) try again once and this time select "Network Setup."

  RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and says that it cannot detect a network.

  If the wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to install, I don't know where to go from here.

  (6) I also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I'm at halfway through the installation, it tells me that it cannot find my printer.

  I am suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may even not allow for wireless printing. Some info on the HP site says to check a particular button lights up to indicate that the printer is online. This light does not exist on my printer model. However, the parameters of the printer from my physics has parameters such as: "show IP address," etc., which would lead me to believe that it can work wireless.

  I have read all the help related HP printer, and there is nothing which explains, in simple language, what are the types of cables, I need to set up a network and the Wi - Fi connection, when to plug them in, what facilities to perform on the many Add - ons available, etc.. I don't know that it's a 5 minute process if there was just a good explanation in the help of the UP of how do. Assistance would be appreciated!

  Hello @SKYdiz,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you have had problems for the last 2 years and spent many hours trying to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP for wireless printing. At this point I'll provide more information about it. First of all, are sitting you?

  Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf multifunction printer isn't a model wireless printer. The "nf" at the end of the name of the printer is the abbreviation of 'network, fax. Therefore, if your printer is not able to connect to your router wireless, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable.

  All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable to the back of your printer to your router. That all devices connected to this router even (whether through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print it on your printer. For more information on configuring ethernet on your printer, please visit: Setup the printer to a wired network in Windows 7 for HP's LaserJet printers.

  Now, if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network, HP makes other Laserjet models that do not use the wireless function. Here are two LaserJet who are black only, multifunction wireless units that resemble your current printer model: HP LaserJet MFP HP LaserJet MFP M225dw Pro and M127fw Pro.

  Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. If you have other questions or concerns, I'll be more than happy to help you. Happy new year!

• set up wireless printer

  I run windows 7 & have home network set up. Ive been able to put my daughters laptop for wireless printing. (she has windows 7 too) but my son who has xp laptop will not connect to wireless printer?

  Is it because of the different system to the main computer (mine)? or have I missed something which is probably simple?

  I hope someone can help.

  Thank you

  Load you the software of the printer on the XP machine and choose Network Installation?

  Is there a firewall on your security system?  Disable it.

• problem setting up wireless printer

  Original title: device

  I have some problem with usb cable and wireless printer setting
  I'm really not sure why or what to do
  It says to install a WSD printer device - don't know what it was but when tried to click on it - it would not set

  First, you will need the printer drivers to find the printer (wired or wireless) on any computer that you want to configure the printer on. You can get the printer drivers from the website of the manufacturer of your computer or a disk driver that came with your computer, when you bought it. Second, all of the computers you want to connect to the wireless printer should also have the software for the installed printer. Finally, before you can get a working wireless printer there need to work with a wired connection (this should all be covered in the manual.)

  See the manual for step by step installation. Visit manualowl.com or just see by the manufacturer. If you can't do that, I'm sure you can do the next step.

  Contact the manufacturer of your printer. They will guide you through the installation. They will have installation instructions ready. If you have no software to install, you will need to order it or download it via the manufacturer.

• Serscan.sys missing on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit when you try to install Office Jet Pro 8600

  Is there a place to find serscan.sys on a laptop Toshiba Satellite A305, running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit?  My Installer to connect wireless to a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 wireless all-in-one printer-scanner-copier-fax machine tells me to find this program, but I can't find it on my hard drive.  I received no installation CD of Windows Vista with this computer when I bought it new.  Any help in finiding or serscan.sys getting and get the printer installed and running is greatly appreciated.

  Hi Excompost,

  Follow the steps outlined in the document below. Let me know what you find?

• Try to install the printer software, but it says cannot find Serscan.sys

  I'm trying to get an HP printer to work.  The software will not end because it cannot fine Serscan.sys.  As far as I know all my service modules are underway.  How can I get Serscan installed?

  I have no more drive.  I'm sol?

  I'm not clear on the problem now. If you can find Drivers.cab in the c:\Windows\Driver Cache\i386 folder, then you should be able to look inside the it with something like WinZip or WinRAR and extract the SerScan.sys file on a location that can reach the installation of HP.

  By the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base, I know that there are two legitimate versions of SerScan.sys, one for XP SP2 (ver. 5.1.2600.3029) and the other for XP SP3 (ver. 5.1.2600.5612). You need the right version for your own XP, so getting the Drivers.cab file on your own machine is the best method.

• Cannot connect Windows XP to the wireless printer.

  WINDOWS XP PRINTER WI - FI CONNECTION

  I have Windows XP Media Center Service Pack 3 OS that worked a HP Photosmart Plus B209 a - m with a USB cable.  Since I just bought a new laptop (Windows 7 Professonal OS) I decided to create a home network with a router Cradlepoint MBR 900.  The two laptops (XP and 7 OSs) were connected to the internet via the router with no problems.  Windows 7 Pro OS laptop is connected wireless to the printer Photosmart Plus, I had implemented as confiquiration wireless the printer first.  But the failure of the attempt to get the OS Windows XP Media Center to connect to the wireless printer.  During the installation process to connect the printer to the XP system wireless it asked me to choose which printer I wanted to connect to.  The Photosmart Plus printer was selected and visible, then I clicked Next.  Shortly after, a small screen appeared stating the "serscan.sys" file could not be found and I have to insert a Windows XP Pro CD to get the file or run the installer of this file.  This issue has occurred both when I tried to install it with the CD provided by HP and when I tried installing the HP download website.  All I have is a recovery for Windows XP disk provided with the laptop and not a CD Windows XP Pro.  What should I do to fix this?  Thanks, Lonnie

  Thanks, that was fast.  Please, let me make sure I have this correct.  First of all, I have two recovery disks provided with the computer, with Windows XP Media Edition and one for the drivers.  I should not use either of these disks, right?  If I had the previous correct answer then let me ask the following question;  When looking to borrow the disc should be Windows XP Media Edition or can I borrow any disk of Windows XP?  Kim Merci for your help continues.  Lonnie

  Lonnie,

  Before the hunting around for friends who might have a CD, do the following research.  For each of them, make sure that you have checked the search options in the 'Advanced Options' to

  • Search system folders
  • Search for files and hidden folders
  • Search subfolders

  Search your entire hard drive and both CDs you have to serscan.  Do not include the .sys at the end of the file name.

  Search for Driver.cab.  Report of the Office (s).  On your hard disk, you should find one or both

  • C:\Windows\i386\Driver.cab
  • C:\Windows\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab

  You can also find these files on the "recovery disk".

  Report what you find, including locations of found nothing.  It is possible (but I don't think likely) you will find a file named serscan.sy_ - If Yes, include this information in your results.

  Or, if you want to ignore all this, you can download serscan.sys since my SkyDrive-->

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?CID=18b259158254905b&RESID=18B259158254905B! 225 & Thierry = 18B259158254905B! 214

  The file should go to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache (a hidden directory) and probably in C:\Windows\system32 (I do not use this file, if it is not in my system32 folder).

  Or you can just save it to your desktop and "direct the Setup" it there (if you do this, check more later to confirm that he got into C:\Windows\system32\dllcache and if not, put a copy).

• 2540: wireless printing: he says that he has but he does not!

  We have a new printer 2540 and I was setting for wireless printing. Installed on my Windows 7 laptop, no problem, even with the iPad to my wife. Also Windows 8 computer our daughter portable Compaq. Bloomin ' wonderful... Until we come to a Compaq laptop Windows 8 of my son. I installed the drivers, the same as on other devices.

  When I go to print the printer show online, the work is queued to the printer, then shows as deleted from the queue... but never actually, it prints on the printer.

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver (download the latest version from the support site) also installed Windows updates and uninstalled / reinstalled again. A lot of power off / power on laptop and printer...

  I thought that perhaps there was a communication problem, but discovered that I can scan an image from the control panel and save it on this laptop so there is communication. Don't just print!

  Anyone Lese seen elsewhere? Any ideas?

  Thanks, Dave
