Computer guard tent to find a printer on a network

Similar Questions

• 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.

  I have an IP address, but do not connect.  Help :-)

  What you have tried (and with what)?

  It of a (wired or wireless) network printer or is it connected to a computer and shared?

  What is the IP address of the printer (get by printing a Network Setup page, by using the controls on the printer)?

  Please provide the following diagnostic information from your computer:

  1. open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  2. type this command in the black command prompt window and press ENTER:
  ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ip.txt" {Enter}
  3. open the IP.txt file to your desktop
  4. copy and paste the text into your response.

• Cannot find HP printer after reset printers on Air

  I hope someone here can help or has had the same problem.

  I recently got a new printer wireless HP Envy 5660.  Everything worked find when installing, it finds the printer on the network, and he added with the scan function.  During the last part of the installation, I had battery problems and he stopped (later I realized, it didn't matter because it was for registration and other things that could be done later).

  Since I thought I had to redo the installation, I thought I would start from scratch.  I deleted the printer (who also had the function of scan displays on the screen of the Mac printer) and redone the installation.  Now after installation configurations the password on the printer wireless, it is said that the wireless settings have been saved, but could not find my printer on the network.

  I've searched the forums and I tried everything I could find:
  • Reset the printers on the MAC
  • Restore the default settings of the printer
  • Reinstall the drivers both Apple and HP
  • Restored from a Time Machine backup
  • Turn off the printer, router and computer
  • To repair the hard drive
  • Other stuff I probably forgot

  I can add the printer as an IP printer, but then I do not have the scan of the Mac function.

  I know that it worked perfectly before because when I installed it the first time it was on the Mac with printing and scanning.  To make sure that it wasn't the printer or the network, I went to another Mac and clicked on the button Add Printer printers, and wireless printer has been found on the same network and installed with the scan function.

  If anyone has any idea, please let me know because I really need the scan function.

  It could be something with the change in network or Hello after resetting the printers that does not show the previous printers in the network?

  May be corrupted printer preferences given that you have installed the drivers both Apple and HP. It is not necessary to do both.

  Open the Finder.

  In the Finder menu bar, click go > go to folder

  Now type or copy paste the following text:

  ~/Library/preferences/com. Apple.Print.Add.plist

  Click OK, and then place the com.apple.print.add.plist file in the trash.

  Restart your Mac and your printer to test.

• My printer is listed, but the hp software can't find my printer... Hp jet pro 8500 desktop has... iPad

  All other applications on my iPad can find my printer on the network. The application of scanning hp ipad print cannot.

  The PDF explaining compatible printers for hp printer control app includes the 8500 a, which is confusing. The House eprint & biz will scan the glass, not the adf, which can be useful. Thank you.

• Cannot print to a network printer

  My home network: Verizon FIOS Actiontec router, desktop Dell XPS (Windows XP) with USB connected HP 7960 printer, Dell Studio 15 computer laptop (Windows 7) connected wireless. Attempt to add printer networked laptop. Laptop find the printer on the network OK. When I click Next it says 'Check' Windows Update. Then watch download driver. Message error gives 'none pilot' found can not find the driver on the network, then asks to find it manually. I'm lost.

  On the Windows 7 machine go devices and printers folder, add a printer, the local printer, creating a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the actual share of the computer and the printer), OK, and then click Windows Update then select Hewlett-Packard (not HP) as the manufacturer and select the HP Photosmart 7960 series.

• L7780 HP 'add a device' can not detect the printer on the network

  I have a HP OfficeJet Pro L7780 printer and a laptop running Windows 7 Hp. The HP Solution Center has stopped working recently and now gives a message error "HP Solution Center cannot work because your installation of the device is not complete."

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software "OJProL7X00_Full_14.exe" and when I go to 'Add a device' it cannot find my printer on the network, even when I enter the IP address.

  I ran "OJ6500vE709_Scrubber_14.exe" - bird 1-2-3-4 and it did make a difference.

  The printer is connected to the network and I can add it as a printer in the window "Devices and printers" window so I can print to it, but without the HP Solution Center software, I can't scan.

  So Windows can detect the printer on the network and when I add the printer in this way, all 4 computers connected to our network can print to it fine.

  HP Print & Scan Doctor detec the printer on the network can. When I run that it is said that the comprehensive software solution for your product is not installed on this computer and when I click on the button 'Install Software', need me just the OJProL7X00_Full_14.exe file. The software seems to install fine but I can't add a device.

  HP printer install wizard for Windows can detec the printer on the network. When I run that it is said that the current full HP software is already installed and drivers seem to be installed correctly. A test page will print perfectly.

  But "Add device HP A" not somehow the printer detec.

  Please notify.

  Hello Impact,

  I see that you spent a lot of time trying to solve the problem of the HP Solution Center not allowing you to scan. Uninstall and install it, rub the software and execution of printing and scanning Dr. / Printer Wizard are all the steps I would have suggested do you.

  I would like you to follow the steps described in this document from HP: the progress bar on the Software Installation stops or stalls, many steps in it you all ready done but please follow the document from top to bottom.

  Before you start to trouble shoot the issue still provides also the computer is not connected to a VPN (Virtual Private Network) and you can access the printers on-Board Web server by entering the printers IP address in Internet Explorer.

  Let me know how this document from HP has helped.

  Thank you

• Install HP Officejet 6500 E709n failure - can't see the printer on the network

  My HP Officejet 6500 E709n refuses to acknowledge that he is already on the network a specific IP address and used by other computers in my house. How can I get this software install to work?  I have to let Windows 7 install its own version, which worked (sort of).  I prefer having the center of solutions for scanning, but the HP install software (full version), in contrast to the MS Windows 7 software, can't find the printer on the network, even when I give the software the exact IP address.

  (Yes, I uninstalled all the pieces I had to uninstall in Control Panel by the NSB instructions re-re-re-install software page.)

• OfficeJet 6500 a: securing wireless printer on home network

  Hello

  I did some research on it and can't seem to find the answer.  Others say that their problem has been resolved, but I don't see how.

  I have an Officejet 6500 connected to the router in my house - I manually entered the IP address.  I suspect that someone in my house (family member) is the impression of the things on my printer because my ink disappears quickly.  It's no big deal, but I thought I'd give the password protect the printer so that they could not connect and print at will.

  I have read other solutions, and people say that remove 'everyone' from the Security tab in windows will work, but that only works if I was connected to the printer via USB and share my connection to a printer through Windows.  Everyone connected to my without wire can install the driver and it will find the HP printer on our network, install and they can print at will.

  Is there a way to put a password on the printer, so access on a home network can be limited to even when I'm not home?  I realize that they could connect manually via USB - I'm just trying to make more of a pain to print when I'm not around.

  I guess I could of pseudo-seggregate my networkt House using a mask of the subnet and the printer on my laptop but my network is a little rusty as I am out of the TI of career and did not want to understand.  I can't find a way to disable the SSID broadcast - which would effectively mask the printing software to find the printer on the network.

  I am disappointed that the designers at HP could not put something so seemingly simple as requiring a password to connect to the printer.

  Any thoughts there?

  Thanks for confirming my suspicions.  If ever I strong enough to play with maybe subnet masks I'll post how it's done, if it works.

  Stupid... everything in this world is cheap and poorly thought.  Can't wait until this printer still works and HP stop cartridges or has no drivers for the next version of Windows coming out that everyone starts to use 3 years after the release, so that they can work out the bugs.

• LaserJet 4050N: cannot connect the printer to the network.

  Hi all

  I recently moved my house, where a new router. My HP LaserJet 4050N was previously connected to my router to another and worked well on the network. However, in my new House and my router (ethernet port connected to the printer) I can't find the printer on the network. I tried to change the IP address, but still when I try to ping, I get the timeout error.

  Help, please.

  Hi Calstar,

  I suggest you uninstall the printer and then reinstall it with the new IP assigned to the printer. Let me know what you find?

• Cannot get LaserJet M175nw print in a network

  I just installed a new 100 Pro M175nw LaserJet printer on my network. However, I am unable to print over the network.

  • The printer is connected to an ethernet cable and configured with a static IP address on the network
  • I use a Windows 7 computer for printing
  • All of the internal functions of the printer work properly for example copy, reports
  • Printers when connected via USB to a computer

  When you use the printer over the network:

  • Digitization of works correctly
  • The integrated mangement of the printer web page works correctly
  • HP Print & Scan Doctor diagnostic tests give the configuration all green ticks
  • Print jobs stay in the queue until they change to an error state.
  • The printer does not recognize the print job at all - no progress message indicating the print on the console document
  • If the printer is in mode 'sleep' it doesn't wake up
  • Print test pages from the installer of HP, the Windows printer properties dialog box, Acrobat Reader and MS Word all fail.
  • All the symptoms remain the same when I turn off the Windows Firewall
  • An another HP LaserJet 2605dn printer on the network will print correctly on a different IP address, but also using the raw format on port 9100.
  • I removed all the drivers for other HP printers in case there was a conflict - no change after you have reinstalled the software.

  Can anyone suggest what I might have forgotten?  Thanks for your help.

  Problem solved.

  Critical steps seem to be:

  • I used the printer management web page (Networking / advanced) to "restore all network settings to their factory default values.
  • I then used the printer console to set the desired TCP/IP configuration - static IP, subnet mask, default gateway. No other changes.
  • The printer then worked correctly.
  • Later, I put the hostname and disabled all network services that I did not - like IPv6, Hello - and the printer continued to work properly.

  The configuration of end result is identical to what I had until I can see - but it works now.

  Thanks for your suggestions along the way.

• Photosmart 5510 MacBook Pro with OS 10.9 does not see the printer on the network

  Continues to give the error message that the printer is offline... in the process of installing it says successful implemented, but impossible to find the printer on the network... I has not changed anything, unless there was an automatic update done some part/sometimes recently... it was working fine.  The self-test on the printer wireless past everything!  iMac and iPad see & print!

  Please help me!

  Oh, Yes, it appears in the list of devices printer twice: once HP 5510 series when connected by USB, and once as 77 has 267 with everything what unknown IP connection but State... is one that says offline and cannot be found on the network.

  I tried all the steps listed in the proposals of the forum without success.

  Hi msdok,

  I understand that the printer is appearing offline even if you can print from the iPad and iMac. I see your message that you have already done some troubleshooting, but I'm not sure what you tried. I recommend using the steps below if you don't have it already.

  Reset the printing system

  1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

• Computer not finding printer on the network

  I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus with a wireless connection to my home network, E2000 Cisco router. I have install the printer using the software that comes with it. Everything worked fine for several months, but recently, I found that my network computers are randomly impossible to locate the printer on the network. I am also unable randomly ePrint. I noticed that if I power cycle the router, the computer will then find the printer. Now, I am regularly power cycling the router. Should not have these problems, I don't know even where to start asking questions. I'm not having other problems with the router. I connect to the internet OK, see the other computers on the network OK, just could not find the printer. There are usually 3 different computers that are enabled and disabled the network throughout the day (sometimes using the printer, sometimes not).

  What are some of the common issues that could cause this problem? Any suggestions to make the connection to the most reliable printer?

  Hi there, your PC into hibernation should not make a difference but some common router settings to watch out include:

  •Wireless isolation is enabled (won't let not peripheral connected wireless to talk with each other)

• I scanned the two elements of a brother MFC - 240 c printer all-in-one to computer. where can I find documents

  I scanned the two elements of a brother MFC - 240 c printer all-in-one to computer. where can I find documents

  Hello MichelleOZ,

  Items scanned by scanner are stored as Images (usually from the MPEG files) so I would look in the pictures folder. Otherwise if you remember what you call the files when you saved them you could also search for them via Windows Explorer.

  File photo:

  1. open Windows Explorer

  2. look in the folder list on the left side of the Windows Explorer window

  3. Locate the folder of photos

  Search:

  1. open Windows Explorer

  2. place your mouse cursor inside the Windows Explorer search box (upper right side of the Windows Explorer window), and then type the name of the file that you want to search

  3. Windows will now search for the file.

  4. once found, click on the file to open it.
