computer cannot find the printer

My HP Officejet Pro 8630 worked well w / my PC which runs on Windows 7 until last night when he stopped.  I restarted the PC and printer, uninstalled the printer software and reinstalled, disconnected power, changed USB ports etc etc.  Since then uninstall it the printer does not appear in the control panel at all.  The USB is not recognized.  More ' nplay does not!  I suspect an update of Windows or other software may interfere, but don't know how to identify and correct.  Help please!

Thanks for your reply.  I used HP telephone support; they were unable to correct the problem.  Implemented in a wireless configuration & it enabled printing.  Today replaced the USB cable and am back in business.  Guess the cable died of an unknown cause tho I've never heard of this.

Thanks again for your response.

  • 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.

  • New computer cannot find the printer driver

    Just got a new computer and now I can't use the printer wireless.  Help

    OK great. First thing, I suggest you do is:

    1. Go to start - Control Panel - programs & features
    2. Scroll through the list and locate any attempt installation of software/driver for your HP Photosmart D110
    3. If the list, uninstall and remove all components of the HP Photosmart D110 (be sure to select this particular device)
    4. Disconnect the USB connection or remove wireless attempt * (if any)
    5. Follow the prompts on the screen, including any necessary reboots
    6. Start the computer and to go to this site for the latest driver for your device-> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-80511-1&cc=ie&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4062&product=4023246&sw_lang=
    7. Download and install, support to follow all the screen instructions - do NOT connect the USB or try a wireless connection until the installation program invites you to do
    8. Re-attempt to print from your computer once the installation of the driver is verified and complete.

    * just as a side note - a wireless connection from a PC to the HP Photosmart D110 is possible only if there is a present wireless card/adapter in the computer. It is more likely to be present in a laptop or a desktop computer. If this is the case, a USB connection is your only option for a desktop computer.

    Hi Ppapineau,

    When the printer stops printing, instead of uninstalling/reinstalling, I recommend to run printing HP and doctor Scan. It's a quick and easy tool that diagnoses and solves many problems of printing, scanning and connectivity. Click on the link below for more details:

  • 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.

  • 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.
