Cannot find printer

We are now an all-Mac home with my iMac using a time Capsule for backup/router with an ethernetted of printer HP C4280 for Time Capsule and MacBook for my wife, too, using the Time Capsule and C4280.  Everything worked fine, but then we moved.

New home everything came very well except that my wife MacBook can't find the printer.  If she sends a job to the printer it presents in the queue and it says "print page 1, 0% complete."  I open HP Print utility and select drivers and it shows the printer in the list.  When I select the printer it says "the selected printer is not available."  When I select System Preferences, then Print & Fax, he says "Looking for printer.".

Help, please

We will restore the print system:

-Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
-Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
-Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • Cannot find printer / computer

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 J611which a printer prints perfectly wireless or if the software is not installed, although it won't scan without software.  When I install the software, it works neither prints nor analyses.  What impression of the task goes to the queue but has not status and the scaning the printer says that it cannot find the printer.  I tried different cables and USB ports. When I try to uninstall the software I get a 2081883395 error, and it will not erase the software.  I managed to download a software that did delete and I reinstalled, have the same problem, but can't find the software again to remove the HP software.  I tried to install HP disc and download.  What is a 208 error?  How can I remove this software?  And how to install the software without this error (maybe it can work)?  Thank you.

    Thank you for your help and suggestions, but I had to find someone to help me, because it turns out not to be a simple printer problem but more a Windows problem that seemed just to be more often on the printer than anything else.  But thank you for taking the time to respond to me.

  • LaserJet 200 color M251MW: driver software cannot find printer wireless HP Laserjet 200

    I have printer HP Laserjet above 200. It's worked great for me and another person in my office. However, I've changed computers, and no matter what I do, the driver cannot find the printer. The other person in my office can always print very well, and my old computer can print always very well. I have disabled the firewall, turn off network security essentials (it is not yet installed antivirus software), provided the IP address, network address, the name of the device, let the software to set up my connection Wireless for HP Direct print. I restarted the printer, restarted my computer, restarted the router wireless, connected the printer directly to my computer via the supplied USB cable. It does not find the printer. I can ping to the IP address of the printer and get a quick response. I can print to other printers on network in the building, I just can't connect using HP. !

    None of that helped him. What is strange, is that when I plug the USB in, it feels immediately there is a printer is connected. It starts to install the software, asking me to acknowledge T & C before you get a read error "unable to create the folder to extract webpack". I am an administrator on this computer and the network, and he gave permission to run. However when I use the driver from HP, it cannot find the printer, even with connected USB? The HP print and scan doctor finds the printer immediately, on the network, but then try to install the same software that does not find the printer.

    I have finally however solve the problem, the key was to not install all other HP services, other than those needed to print. Deselection of all the software options (components 6-8) allowed him to immediately find the printer maybe 2 seconds, select these elements and not found the printer. HP needs to offer a thin driver that actually works, rather than trying to sell ink, just something that allows you to print would be useful. It's frustrating to spend 6 to 8 hours trying to configure a printer when the problem appears to be with the driver.

    For others with this problem, run the HP print scan doctor, download the driver again through this software, deselect all option provided with the driver software and continue.

  • Find him that new hardware wizard cannot find printer drivers

    turn my PC on Windows XP Home Edition. I am trying to install a new printer Brother HL-5340 D. The installation disc runs correctly and copy the files on my PC.

  • WPSM54G cannot find print server and not able to print the test page

    After several days of trial and error I am so far I'm willing to give up and put this peace of equipment for sale. It is my last attempt to find a solution.

    I have a Canon MP510 printer connected to the print server and I managed to configure the print server so that it establishes a wireless connection to the router. I can see the ip address assigned to my router print server and I can log on to the configuration of the print server page.

    When I want to set up your computer (software print copy of the Canon MP510 print server) I can not complete the wizard. Step 1 is successful. It shows the print server and the MP510 related to port 1, but in step 2, I get a message that the print server can not be found.

    I looked on the forums how to solve. I already tried a fixed ip address to configure the printer manually but not any which solution worked.

    Your print server must be set to a fixed IP address, try this IP address: 192.168.1.78... Disconnect ethernet cable between your router and the PS... Both devices power for one minute cycle... Follow the link here after changing the IP address on the PS...

  • Active Directory domain services is currently unavailable; Cannot find printer; Acer Extensa 5620 laptop, Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2; Automatic update

    I can't print on network printers.  I did what was suggested previously and deleted the printers and tried to reinstall, but apparently Windows does not find the printer. I get the famous error "The Active Domain Services Directory is currently unavailable".  It started a few days after an automatic update.  My network is just a peer-to-peer network - no Exchange.

    Although I do not understand why this error, which is apparently a problem been known for months, is not a statement of knowledge on the repair, or even more revolutionary base, has not been corrected, I hope you can give me instructions on how to repair concrete.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    2. navigate to the following registry key location:

    3 Verify that the unit, in the name column, PrinterName, winspool, Ne0% under the data column. (Where PrinterName is the name of your printing device and % is the order number)

    4. to learn the name and parameters associated with your printer go to following registry key location:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

    7. right click on the device, and then click on edit.

    8 type the corresponding PrinterName, winspool, Ne0%, click OK.

    9. exit the registry editor

  • P1102w - cannot find the printer

    Hello

    I'm unable to print using a wireless connection.

    the printer is p1102w.

    operating system is MAC OS 10.10 Yosemite

    Whenever I try to print something I get "printer is not connected / cannot find the printer" message.

    I tried the solutions on your support site, but nothing helped.

    For sure, printer is connected to the same network as the computer. I see it on the print configuration page and I can connect to its IP address via a web browser (but I can't use web services).

    All software and drivers are up to date. Update Apple is nothing new to me. Niether have your site.

    I tried to move the printer closer and further away from router. No results.

    No web proxy is related to my network.

    To make this work, I have to remove the printer from my system, reinstall it using the USB cable, and then add it again via wi - fi.

    But some time the problem reappears.

    It's really frustrating. Help, please.

    Hi @xopot ,

    I see that you have problems printing via wireless network. I would like to help you today.

    Since you can access the printer embedded Web server, the printer would have a valid IP address. Most likely, it has something to do with the software that the printer uses.

    Fix permissions of the drive on the Mac:

    Close all applications.

    In the Apple menu, click OK, click Applications, and then click utilities.

    Double-click disk utility.

    Highlight your hard drive / partition on the left.

    Click on check and then repair disk permissions.

    Restart the computer...

    Reset the printing system:

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Click on the Apple icon and then click on System Preferences.

    Click on Printers & Scanners.

    Make a right click (or Ctrl + click) in the left white side panel, and then click Reset printing system.

    Click OK to confirm the reset.

    Type the name and the correct password.

    Click OK to reset the printing system.

    Then click on the sign to add the driver, highlight the printer +. (you may need to click the drop down menu to select the name of the printer) Then click the Add button.

    Configure a static IP address for the printer.

    The printer is not found during Installation wireless.

    Do not take into account the title. Select the Solution 4: assign your printer a static IP address.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Have a great day!
    Thank you.

  • B209a printer cannot find the new wireless network

    Let me start that I am not very tech savy to start so I read other discussions related to this and could not find a snwer to solve my problem.

    I upgraded my router wireless internet 10 days ago and since then my printer cannot find a wireless connection. That's what I've tried so far, I tried to restart the printer, unpluging it and pluging reconnect, restart my router, myrouter to reset (which knocked my internet at home for hours). The rest of my Office Home phones and cell phones all pick up my network, but my printer can't seem to find it. He said only: "No connection found" on the touch screen.

    I run a wireless network Test report, and he says that he cannot find a SSID. But when I printed on a Page of Configuration of HP network it states that he discovered 5 networks, including mine.

    My wireless router is a rhythm. I have not installed it, did the tech from my service provider. He seemed brand new. I have no way to update its firmware (whatever it is).

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I have solved my problem after reading this thread. http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-networking-and-wireless/Photosmart-plus-B209a-won-t-connect-to-wireless-router/m-p/177144#M7026
