Cannot connect my HP Photosmart c309g-m printer to my Linksys WRT54GC router. "No filtering = FAIL.

I have problems connecting my HP Photosmart c309g-m to my Linksys WRT54GC router.  The diagnostics report says "no filtering = FAIL" in all my attempts.

First I had implemented security wireless to the router with a personal WPA2 password.

Because this does not work, I spent my WPA security, given that the diagnostic report suggests that this is what he actually uses for encryption. This no longer works.

I double and triple checked the MAC address of the printer in my MAC filtering wireless settings. He was right. However, he didn't always connect.

Reluctantly, I turned MAC filtering. However, the printer still wouldn't connect.

Now, I'm out of options. All possible ideas for this problem?

Here are a few ideas:

1. check that the SSID is being broadcast.

2. make sure that DHCP is active.

3. don't use MAC filtering (it is not a security measure, in any case).

4 change the channel from router to 11.

  • Cannot connect to Windows XP Pro shared printer

    From: Mike J

    I have a XP Pro PC on my home network and trying to connect a Lexmark X 215 printer that is shared out of the XP Pro machine.  I connect with a new laptop Windows Vista Home Premium Dell XPS M1530.  The rest of the network works fine - shared files, folders, Internet access, etc.

    The message that I get when I try to connect, it's that Windows cannot connect to the printer.  Access is denied.

    Any thoughts?

    You should see a similar directory structure.  If it returns access denied, you need to enable read on the share permissions of $ print XP which is the default configuration.

    If you have not run the network configuration wizard XP make sure you run this tool.

    Yes, something has changed the security settings on the print sharing $.

    Since you're under XP Pro, you can reset it and allow all the world read access.  Do a right click my computer / manage / shared folders / sharing / right click $ Print properties/sharing permissions

    Administrators and power users have full access to everything the world group should be there with read access.  I guess that the Everyone group is missing.

  • 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).

  • Is it possible to connect the HP Photosmart C4780 Wireless printer without USB cable?

    Hello

    My family and I recently moved and while moving, something inevitably get lost or left for account.  I am fighting to get this printer and will so I don't have to bother people at the front desk at school to print my documents for me.  I have lost/misplaced both the HP Photosmart C4780 printer software disk and the USB cable.  I have no idea where these things are and have not found them within two months, we've been in the new House.

    I solved the issue of the loss of the installation disk by downloading it from the HP site.  My problem is now getting beyond the USB connection and get the currently installed software.  Because I run on a MacBook Pro, it always tells me that I need the USB key to continue the installation.  I'm on a Verizon Wireless router, and I even tried to find the printer on my wireless network with no luck.

    Help, please!

    Thank you.

    It's the type of cable you will need (ignore the color of the cable, the ends are the important part).

    Have a new router is not a problem, but remember the SSID and password wireless exactly, otherwise it will not work (if you decide to try Method 1). It's a bit like "trick" your printer into thinking that your new router is your old a long enough to configure the network settings for the new (desired).

  • Wireless laptop cannot connect to Photosmart C5180 printer on network

    I recently got a new computer, which is the main connection to our home network.  We have a laptop and a Photosmart C5180 printer.  I can't get the wireless laptop to connect to the printer, even though I have the shared printer on the pc.  I have the printer connected to the pc via a USB cable.

    I see the printer shared and available on the laptop, but get the error message when you try to print.

    Does anyone know what I'm missing that will allow me to print from wireless laptop?  It worked until I'm the new pc, so I know I'm missing something.  Should the laptop have both installed printer software/drivers?

    Yes, the printer directly connected to a router with an Ethernet cable will be the simplest solution.

    Yes, all computers will be able to access the printer on the network as long as they are connected to the same router (Ethernet or wireless, regardless).

    He shared from the computer and the printer connected to a computer with a USB cable are not a real printer on a network.  This creates what is essentially a print server and the computer with the USB connection manages the interaction of this printer with all the devices on the network.

    A USB connected printer sharing can be done, but it's a lot more work that the printer is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.

    It's really a lot more work to set up the printer with a printer shared over a network connection USB method true when it comes to do this with Windows 7.

    Windows XP made it incredibly simple, but he was not very secure on a network.  With Windows XP, all you had to do was to share the printer, and then install it on another computer.

    With Windows 7 on both computers, you must configure a homegroup, enable file sharing and printers (disabled by default), share the printer and install the printer on the computer client / remote.  In addition, this method will require the host to be on anytime for remote printing machines.

    The printer is connected to the router with a Ethernet means that the functionality of the printer depends solely on the router being on (most are on 24/7).  Computers will print regardless of the other computer either on or off.  There should be a shorter time in the impression that a computer is responsible for printing rather than two computers.

    Again, I will be more than happy to help you set up with the method USB shared with two Windows 7 computers if that's what you want.  You find that it is much easier to use the Ethernet connected method to be simpler and more efficient to print well.

    If you want, here's a little more information from Microsoft on sharing a printer between two units of Windows 7.

    Setting up a homegroup

    Activate the file & printer sharingand sharing the printer on a Windows 7 computer

    As long as the printer & file sharing is enabled and two Windows 7 computers are in the same group of residential, you should be able to use the USB share method.  Without these two two options being Setup, it simply does not work with two Windows 7 systems.

  • Cannot connect my Photosmart C4780 to my network wireless (home)

    Hello

    I searched this forum and tried to solve my problem, but none of the elaborate suggestions.

    I have a Photosmart C4780 and am under OSX10.8

    Recently, our internet provider changed our wireless router and our SSID. As a result, the printer that is connected to the original network and properly functioning has stopped working. I tried to connect the printer to the new network, but failed. He said now that the printer is connected to the hp network (something) and I can't change it for the new SSID.

    Could you please tell me what to do? I have installed the software mentioned in the HP website, plugged the USB cable into the printer to try to set it up, but it says that the printer cannot find any existing network (although I'm next to the printer and connected to the intended network wireless)

    Fact a little kind of hard-reset on the printer can be a good strategy? How can he do?

    Thanks in advance

    Pedro

    PS: The printer works correctly when printing via USB

    PS2: It is not an option to return the SSID of the router to the previous

    Hi @pedroa

    You say "I have installed the software mentioned in the HP website", but there is no software for the compatible with 10.8 c4780. Mountain V10.8 OS X Lion: installing and using the printer on a Mac with the Mountain Lion.

    As you know, this printer has not a wizard wireless version in the front panel instead us would typically connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer and run the installation wizard.

    Because you have 10.8 on Mac, and it there is no full feature software and drivers, you won't be the configuration wizard, to configure the printer. You may be wondering now, well how can I set up then?  Good question, we will restore the default network printers and the printer will have its own IP address designed for whats called an Ad-Hoc connection (wireless router). We will put the computer on the network printer and then print a report to get the printers IP address. At this point, we can access the built-in web server (EWS) and run the wireless from there. Once the printer on the network with the router, we can put the computer on the network and vuala that the printer and the computer will be on your network.

    To restore the default network settings - since you have done this before I guess you know how, but for others who can see the message, here are the steps

    1. Press the wireless button
    2. Select wireless settings
    3. Scroll and select default network.  Press Yes to recognize
    4. The radio turns off (the blue LED turns off).  You may need to press the wireless button to turn on wireless

    Put the computer on the network printer (temporary)

    1. click on the symbol of the airport on the upper left side of the screen Mac
    2. choose the network looking compared to the printer (we could say a variant of the name of your printer or HP setup) - it may take a few minutes to make it appear

    Print the wireless network test - wait a few minutes to make sure the computer have established an ad hoc connection, otherwise the report will not have an IP address

    1. Press the Scan button (it also the wireless menu button)
    2. Select wireless settings
    3. Testing wireless access, then select.

    The wireless network Test prints, search and note the IP address.

    Open a browser (Safari) and enter the IP address in the URL (address bar).

    Click on the network, on the left tab, click on wireless or 802.11.

    At this point, we are looking at fore 'start the wizard' should be on the right side.

    As soon as we will have to set up the printer to your network, you can put your computer on your own network.

    Now you can add the printer in system preferences and print

    Please let me know if that fixes the problem, thanks.

  • Cannot connect HP Photosmart 5515 series wireless on my laptop

    Hello, I use a hp pavillion g6 and im trying to connect wirelessly to my printer Photosmart, 5515 but im having problems with the computer was implemented wirelessl room in my house for a while and me can print quite easily using my Iphone but I cannot set up wireless. He invites me to enter my IP address I do, but then he repeats just cannot connect I also tried to use hostname, but that does not work either please help the two devices are connected to the internet even and I checked they are running both on the same IP address

    Thank you

    Try to go in the tools on the printer and to restore the default settings of the network.  He's going to knock it out of the network briefly but then set it back up as if it were the first time.  You meet intellectual property conflicts, and it is a first step in troubleshooting.  It can change the IP address of the original one, as well, but that is not a bad thing.  Let me know how it goes.

  • HP Photosmart c309g printer model

    How can I use my printer HP model C309g Photosmart Premium to print photos directly from my ipad?

    Hello

    You first have to remove all the usb cables or ethernet connecting to your printer (you will be left with just the power cable plugged in).

    You must then connect your printer to your wireless network at home using the Control Panel on the front of the printer. Find a menu called Assistant wireless and enter your wifi password (it is usually printed on the back of your router). There may be a symbol wireless on your front panel that will take you to the menu Wizard setup wireless.

    When devices on your wireless network and your printer are connected to the same wifi network and you have downloaded the eprint application on your mobile device, you then see your printer in the eprint app and be able to print to it.

    Let me know if you have problems with the installation.
