Cannot connect wireless C4780 using mac/airport

I searched through the previous posts but can't seem to solve this problem.

I will try to give all the relevant information...

I have a new MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard OS x 10.6.4.  I have a wireless connection to the internet with an airport that is about 5 years old & have had no problems with internet connections.  I use a WPA security to access my wireless network.

After unpacking the printer, there is a note that says that the cd is not compatible with mac OS X 10.6 & don't not to install.  All the functionanlity is included with Snow Leopard.  If I plug it in with the usb cable, I can print.  I can't understand how to set up wireless well.

When I look in Preferences system under printers, printer stands, but is disconnected.  If go into options... pilot, it's that nothing indicated for this printer.  Another post mentioned about 'add the wireless client', but this option is grayed out in my menu.

I'm savvy software - but not so much with the end of material, so please give very specific instructions on what I need to do to try to get it up & running.

Thank you.

Well, the printing functionality is built into the OS, but not the possibility to set up the network portion of the printer.

I don't know how old your airport is - is it a form of fungus or a square box?  If the later, you can use WPS and I can help you.  If the fungus, you will need to load the software.

Download the software right here.

  • Tecra M1 cannot connect wireless

    Hello

    This new but I hope someone can help me.

    I'm having difficulties to connect to a wireless network with my Tecra M1. I think that the problem could be with the card Intel (R) prowireless MiniPCI LAN.

    I tried to reinstall the driver for it, but nothing worked. I access the access point Via a cable but cannot connect wireless.
    I reinstalled the software PROSet I printed user's guide, and he tells me if he have Driver version "1.2.4.41". I have Driver version "1.2.5.34" installed on my laptop and this seems to be the only one on the Toshiba site, so I can't find "1.2.4.41" to install instead of '1.2.5.34 '.

    Any ideas where I can find this driver? I tried to let windows manage my wireless connection but not able to connect. I also tried free config but it couldn't connect either. All above can see the available network but cannot connect. Any ideas on a resolution. I am trying to connect via a router belkin G + MIMO.
    No problem connecting via a direct cable.

    Thank you

    Hello

    have you tried to connect with another machine to check if it works?
    Otherwise, I suggest the following things:

    -Disable all security features
    -update the firmware on your router
    -dhcp instead of IP´s sets the value
    -read the manual of the router, sometimes they have weird parameters

    and finally and most importantly, try to connect with your M1 to another access point to make sure that you connect your machine to a wireless network.

  • HP Pavilion g6-1371sa cannot connect wireless Internet

    Hello

    Just bought a new laptop for my son, but cannot make it work wireless (he connects very well with an ethernet cable). Have been well than all the assistants of troubleshooting, but with no joy.

    Relevant information;

    1. Network adapter updated - Ralink RT5390 - to the latest version (3.2.12.0) but made no difference
    2. The mac Get command does not show all physical addresses are connected (unless the ethernet cable is installed). IP config command also suggests that the wireless network adapter is not connected. Device Manager seems however...
    3. Have any other windows 7 (dell) laptop computers, access to the Linksys wireless router (using 802.11 g) without any problem.

    Help appreciated...

    Apologies for wasting peoples - my fault! The problem is with the security of the router, I have a list of MAC address filters that allows specified devices to connect. When I connected to the Internet, I entered the mac address that was then appear as connected but it was actually the address of the Ethernet adapter. When I added the other address (as displayed when you enter the Getmac command) then the Internet was born in life. What was slightly confused me was that address before that point showed as disconnected and only after that the connection has been established has made this change (of direction really).

    Lesson to learn - security switch router up to created this first connection?

  • HP Envy 4500 cannot connect wireless to the printer

    Recently I bought HP Envy 4500 printer. Connected to my router ok TP-Link3631 and have successfully printed from android phone and portable computer connected wifi but cannot print wireless from the office, running XP Pro, but allows you to print via a USB connection. Office see printer through a router using 192.168. etc and printed the report. Have tried to install the software via disc cd and internet several times, Inc. reinstall, but can not get computer to connect. Have been round and round in circles several times, also used print and scan doctor without success. It seems that the software is not fully installed. Or maybe something wrong with the network. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you

    Hi @atr345,

    I see by your post that one of the computers is not recognizing the printer on the network, but you can print by a USB connection. I can help you with this.

    Type the IP address in the address bar of Internet Explorer to see if the built-in Web page printer server load on this computer.

    Check the computer IPV4 address to see if it matches the first 3 games of the IP address of the printer.

    Go to start, type cmd in the search box, enter, then type ipconfig.
    Check the IPV4 address.
    Now, check the IPV4 address for the printer. (192.168.1.9)
    Do the first 3 sets of numbers match? (if they do not match then the computer is not on the right network)

    Try and ping the printer.

    In the same window, type ping printers (space between ping and IP address) IP address
    What are the results?

    If the available printer built-in Web server, the first 3 sets of numbers of computers had matched the address IPV4 of the printer and you could ping the printer, then try and configure the connection to printer wireless via the USB connection.

    Installation of the software of the printer for a wireless network connection.

    Please go to the first step: preparation for installation, number 4.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Good day!
    Thank you.

  • SONY VAIO VGN-SZ28 cannot connect wireless with WPA encryption

    Hi guys

    I have a sony VAIO PC is unable to connect wireless if I have WPA and WPA2 encryption. When I decrease the security WEP device connects well. the laptop never asks the user name and password of the ad

    The type of security, I use WPA2 802. 1 x with PEAP-EAP-MSCHAPv2

    Please note the following:

    1. Wireless driver is updated to the latest version. I see EAP and WPA Press Cordless screwdriver
    2. Windows XP service pack 3 operating system

    no idea why I am facing this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Elijah

    Hi Elijah

    You can deal with a number of certificate on the laptop.

    If the wireless client is configured to use PEAP Protocol as you suggested the default setting is usually to check the certificate of the server. This would mean that you need to install a certificate on the laptop. However, there should be a setting on the client to disable the server certificate 'validate' If you do not want to (or cannot) to install a certificate on the laptop.

    See attached some screenshots.

  • Cannot connect printer B210a for Mac 10.7

    E-all-in-one printer cannot connect to iMac 10.7, error: turn off device if this does not solve the problem and the unit is broken and can not scan, copy, print.

    Installed the software and everything seems fine, so I try to print and could not communicate with the device, then scan and the same problem.

    The wndow in the printer displays the above message.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled and still not connect, however the wireless can see the printer and my modem but cannot print, scan, copy

    any suggestion

    If you can not make a copy from the front of your printer, there is something wrong with the printer in-house.

    The printer turned on, unplug from the back of the printer for 30 seconds about and try again.

  • LaserJet MFP M277c6: LaserJet MFP M277c6 will not connect wirelessly to my Mac

    When I run HP Easy Start it says that no devices were found.  And when I run the update of the HP Firmware finds it too never unit.  The printer indicates that it is connected wireless.

    My Mac connects to my old Epson printer very well.

    Help!

    If there is no printer listed, this means that there is a setting on the network to which the printer is having a problem with. To resolve this please contact your internet provider or one that handles the router and ask them to do the following:

    1. Open all ports.
    2. Select multicast.
    3. Disable MAC filtering/MAC cloning.
    4. Disable the network of comments.
    5. Make sure that the network has a band of 2.4 GHz (gigahertz).

    Please let me know the results after these parameters controlled.

  • HP 6500 E309n cannot connect wireless with 10.7 (Lion)

    I have a printer wireless HP 6500 E309n which worked fine in Snow Leopard, but not after the update to Lion.

    In system preferences, I can query power and using the printer utility levels, I CAN print a test page, but I can't print a configuration page.  Print a page configuration results in the message "could not print the configuration page.

    When I try to print from an application program I get the message "the printer is unresponsive.

    However, when I access the printer directly from Safari, I can print a page of "status of printer report."

    Yes, I have "reset" my printers (delete all printers) and reinstalled the 6500.  Yes, I went through a software update.  Yes, the printer works fine with other computers on the network.

    Help...

    It's weird.

    I unplugged and physically moved the printer next to the router to test a connection via a ethernet cable (worked fine) then he moved the machine to Lion to connect via USB (worked fine).  When I then connected wireless, it also worked fine.

    Apparently simply cut the power and reboot did the trick.

  • my laptop cannot connect wirelessly to the internet with the built-in wireless adapter

    G50-118NR my client specification identifies my network home qwest DSL WPA2 as public wireless whenever I connect wireless using the Atheros AR5007 802 wireless network adapter. 11 b / g WiFi and does not connect to the internet.  I can change the Private type, but it does not help.  I have restored the laptop using Vista Home Prem 32-bit recovery CD and that did not help.   The wired connection works perfectly and other 'g' and 'n' USB wireless adapters also work very well.

  • Photosmart Premium C309m cannot connect wireless, but Setup is OK

    I felt for a few months and in the last days he stopped wireless connection. I use Windows 7 and restored to the previous time, but it has not fixed the problem. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software, turned the printer power button etc but it's the same question.

    When I open the HP Solution Center, I get the message saying the printer is disconnected. If I go to the printer and use the Network Wizard it can communicate with the router and I get a Test report saying 'congratulations etc etc and everything's a pass

    Looking at the config menu router you can see that the printer is there but its status is not active.

    The IP address remains the same, but when I look for the printer on the network, McAfee I can't.

    Any ideas?

    OK, rented DSL routers are, well, problematic.  Sometimes the DSL providers have more control on their router like the printer.

    -Unplug the phone line from the router
    -Cut the power to the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn on the power.
    -Go through the normal process of the printer connected to the router.
    -Now to find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it in a browser.
    -On this screen, you will find a tab management network, then on the left wireless, then the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you know what it is, set an IP address outside this range but not exceeding 254 (the last number of the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Let the white gateway and DNS
    -Finally, connect the telephone line, restart the router and the test.

    In addition, WEP is quite sure.  It can be broken with freeware in 10 minutes approximately.  You can change your WPA or WPA2 security type?
