• 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.

• 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.

  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

• Acrobat cannot find the printer/scanner

  I use a Brother DCP-J4110DW all in one printer/scanner and adobe acrobat 8 professional. Last week, I could open adobe and click on create PDF from a scanner, and then select my printer/scanner and I go. Now - no reason apparent, adobe cannot find my printer/scanner in the menu dropdown. There is nothing in there! I have not changed the settings or anything, in fact the only thing that has changed is a new modem/router and an update of AVG anti-virus. I tried to reinstall my printer/scanner and I have acrobat repair re-installed but nothing has helped. Please, please can someone shed light on the case...

  Thanks in advance

  Eddy Myers

  Just an update.

  I deleted all temporary files and then my acrobat printer is no problem - I don't know why it happened!

• 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.

  Is your wireless network setup correctly? I mean is your wireless laptop printer and your router configured properly and that you have a connection to the internet router trough wireless?

  Please give a better description that you have, if you have a wireless network with a router etc... and how is your configuration if your network is configured with dynamic IP addresses etc...

  Moreover, a little site here´s how to set up a wireless network:

• 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...
