• Cannot find the printer on the wireless network

  My new 6500 a 710n-z printer copier copies very well.  Also, it detects the wireless network and is given an address 169.254.182.35.  I have reset the router several times using the WPS button.  But after I installed the software on my netbook ACER Windows XP, the computer cannot find the printer.  I spent three days trying to get the $% # ^ & * to work.  I see in some documents to get a 169.254. IP address, so I'm probably not connected?  But what to do?

  Well Yes, a 169.254 IP address... is auto-assignée when he can't get one from the router.  The WPS button does not reset the router.

  Do this on the printer: Setup > network > Wireless Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions.

• 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.

• Computer cannot find the printer on the network

  I have a Photosmart D110A and use a router Airport Extreme to print from my PC and iPad.  Until a few days ago, it worked fine but now neither my iPad or PC can find the printer on the network.  When I run the test report of network on the printer, it shows that everything is fine and dandy.  No the guided HP solutions even to get close to solving this riddle... it seems that any questions they discuss involve the printer will not connect to the network.

  OK, so they are both on the network of comments.  Comments network does not allow for communication between devices.

  Open Airport utility, select your airport and click installation manual.  Access to the Internet zone, then DHCP.  What are the two structures IP DHCP for your two airport networks (invited and regular).

  For example, mine is 10.0.1.X for the ordinary and 17.16.42.X for my network of comments.

• Network cannot find the printer

  I have a laptop under Windows XP/Pro/SP3 and access the internet via a wireless (Linksys WRT54G Router). I connected a printer multifunction all-in-one of HP6310 to the router, using an ethernet cable and then installed HP6310 software on the laptop. Using the window "Add a printer Assistant", I selected "Network printer" and then receive three options: (1) travel - it is not the printer (2) connect to this printer - name: _ example:\\Server\printer - I probablydidn can't create the correct path and it did not find the printer. (3) to connect to a printer on the internet or on a home network or desktop. I do not think that this optio applies, but tried and could not find the printer.

  HP manual suggested that the problem may be an incompatibility of the printer gateways and router; I don't know what it means and how to fix the problem, if this is the cause

  Can you offer any suggestions?

  I have exactly the same problem. I can't see HP 7555 or 2605dn printer on my network with Windows XP pro. If I use Network Magic two printers appear. Both have the same door as my computer. Both work fine with other computers, wired and wireless, on the same network. I have a Linksys WRT54GS. I tried to delete all the HP software and reloading and nothing seems to work.

• OfficeJet 6700 cannot find the printer on the wireless network

  Printer is connected to my wireless network.

  Print diagnostic shows PASS for everything and I have ip (DHCP 192.168.2.19)

  The printer is able to connect to the internet to download updates and pull content for apps (colouring etc...)

  I disabled my firewall of windows to resolve the problems, but the HP software was listed as exceptions anyway.

  Using the printer on my computer connection wizard I entered both the IP address and the host name but it is "impossible to find the printer.

  My router is a netgear WNDR3700.

  The ssid that I am connected is good.  I have a network of both comments, but it does not broadcast its ssid and I am not connected to it.

  I am getting very frustrated.  I'm tech-saavy and it should be much easier than this.

  I wonder if anyone else encountered this problem and can anyone offer suggestions?

  Thanks in advance...

• Mac OS 10.5 Hello cannot find the printer driver for P1606dn connected via a wired network.

  I tried to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8.  I have connected the priner to my LAN via the Ethernet cables and Switch 8 port NetGear.  I then properly installed printer driver from the CD provided on the Mac and went into system preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of the connected printers.  Click on the button «+»  The HP P106dn was listed in the table (kind = Hello).

  I chose this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the pullodwn "to Print using" listed the message 'Please select a printer or driver model' greyed and a spinning wheel called 'Search for new drivers' appeared underneath.  The dialog box search but never find the printer driver (I waited for 20 minutes without success).  I installed some other HP printers in this way on this machine with no problems, for example, HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.  Why this method does not work with this printer?

  I was able to connect to this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my house through this arrangement of LAN.  Is the printer driver for the Intel Macs only?

  I disconnected the printer from the local network and connected directly to my Mac with a USB cable.  The same process, and I was able to connect to this printer.  Successfully print a document page.  Although it gives me a work-around for Mac G5, I need to share this printer with other Macs in my household.

  I went on the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on Mac and repeat the steps for the arrangement of LAN (above) complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog box.  The result was the same: spinning wheel looking for a printer driver are not.

  I don't know what else to do, or why this facility will not work.  I would much appreciate it if someone could give an explanation for this or any suggestions as to what can be done?

  I'm sorry to get back to you on this so late.  I was OOT Sunday all day.

  Ok. So, here is what happened.  As I mentioned at the end of my last post, I was in the process of resetting my printing system, repair disk permissions, then restarting.   Reset the printing system wiped out all my printers in the "Printers" pane in the "Print & Fax" system preferences dialog window  I moved forward and fix permissions of the drive on my system disk.  A number of authorities have been repaired, but nothing that I could decipher impression related ro.  Finally, I restarted my Mac and went directly to the dialog box print & Telec.

  As the printers pane was still empty, I'm gone before adding the simplest of my printers (LaserWriter 360 connected via AppleTalk) who has always been correctly added to the list printers in the past.  No chance!  WAITED a few minutes everything is was "Looking for new drivers.".  I tried the Color Laserjet 2605dn.  No luck.  Then the Laserjet P1606dn.  No luck.

  Thus, this way of solution did not work, and now I was without any driver associated with one of my connected printers.  I decided that I had no choice to rebuild the operating system.  I started my DVD of Installation OS 10.5.4 to rebuild my system (without reformatting my HARD drive).  Once which was finished, I've immediately went to the Print & Fax dialog box and tried to add in each of my printers.  In a few seconds the LaserWriter was added successfully, then the HP Color Laserjet 2605dn, and FINALLY, the Laserjet P1606dn.  Thus, it appeared that my upgrade to OS 10.5.8 was at the origin of the problem.

  I proceed with Sofware Update to restore the computer to OS 10.5.8 and again once, went to the dialog box Print & Fax to experiment with the addition of each of the printers again.  Stopping before the acceptance of each 'Add', I could find quickly and successfully the drivers for each of the connected printers.  So, it doesn't seem to be a problem with OS 10.5.8 find printer drivers.

  After reflection, I concluded that the problem must have appeared during the upgrade to OS 10.4.11 OS 10.5.4, but it remained hidden until I tried to add these new printers to the list of printers.

  I appreciate the reference to the last download Laserjet full feature software.   Since I was able to solve the problem without it, I mind not do the download.

  I want to thank you for patiently stay with me during the last two weeks, your advice and comments.  Just having someone to "talk" about it, it was reassuring and useful that I went along to apply each suggestion to the problem.  I tried to solve this problem several times on my own before that, the search of the forums, and I hesitated to participate actively – to reach out.  I'm feeling very different about it now.  Once again, thanks a lot.

• HP Envy 4500: Printer connected to the network; laptop computer connected to the network; laptop cannot find the printer!

  I searched through the forums and read a few threads about similar questions, but do not yet have a solution to my problem.  The printer is connected to the network (even printed page "Congratulations, you're connected" with all the relevant information).  It is on the same network as my laptop.  However, when I run the exe to install on my laptop, it does not find the printer, even when I put the IP address the printer gave me on the congratulations page!  I have run Avast Free Antivirus 2015 on my machine, but don't see any particularly troubling parameters which could interfere.

  Any thoughts on how I can get the laptop to see the printer?

  Henchman21,

  Thank you for the information you have provided to us. I will be you initial steps that could solve the problem.

  Solution

  1. do you have the HP Envy 4500 connected to your computer via the usb cable

  2. If you have installed the correct software for your HP Envy 4500 and the drivers on your computer, you will need to run

  * Note: If the software and drivers for the HP Envy 4500 does not work or does not work the .exe, you must uninstall it in add it and remove programs.

  2 1a, you should download the drivers and software for the HP Envy 4500 on-site HP click on this link.

  2 2 b If you have correctly downloaded it you must connect the HP Envy 4500 device to the computer via a usb cable and launch the installation. Usb printers will be automatically detected by your computer. Installation of HP Assistant there will be a point he will ask you if you want to configure the computer for wireless connectivity, it's time that all wireless information stored on your computer will be transferred to the HP Envy 4500. If this does not work! and I know that it will not...

  3. you should check if you have administrative rights on the computer.

  I hope that the solution I provided will work for you.

  Let me know if the steps above don't work for you

  Thank you

  Hello

  We just put a HP Envy 5530, set up was fine, I tried installing but get the message "cannot find printer" over and over again.

  I tried to download printing HP and Scan doctor but also, it does not find the printer.

  I ran two reports of diagnoses on the printer, everything looks ok, I have an IP address with an IP address that suggest that it has connected wirelessely, the network report said no problems were discovered.

  I tried disabling my firewall, all made once again, still nothing.

  I put the IP address in the address bar, but it does not open!

  I don't seem to have a printer/USB cable witht the printer so I can't tey wireless - I one of them, it was a new purchase?

  I don't really have an idea what to do next, it seems I have a printer connected to the network, your laptop to talk to the network but nothing to talk with each other. I also tried to find the printer with my IPad, but he also could not find a printer.

  Any ideas, im really frustrated
