computer says printer shuts off when it is on

My computer is telling me that my wireless printer is turned on when it's plugged in and that the WiFi icon is turned on.  What can I do to make my computer recognize my printer?  They are both HP and I am running windows 7.

A wireless printer is deemed be a printer "networked."  You need to check the settings of the firewall on your computer (in Control Panel) and make usre you allow the printer driver to pass thorough.

  • my computer says printer ready, but when I try to print it does not say connectedit is a HP 3000 3 month old.

    I have a wireless printer. On the computer it says ready, but when I try to print it says not connected. Help

    Print a Network Setup page using the controls on the front panel of the printer.  See your manual for details.  Some newer HP printers have very summary User Guides (if you have the Deskjet 3000 J310, this means you) and it is difficult to see how - or if - you can print a Network Setup page.

    What you want to do is (a) determine the IP address that is currently configured in the printer and potentially re - configure an IP address of your choice.  You may need to search in the help for the printer on your computer system.  You may be able to access the printer setup utility using your Internet browser or you need maybe connect you the printer to the computer via USB and use the printer installation CD.

    Once you know what the IP address of the printer (and, preferably, how to change), then...

    On your computer.

    • Click Start > printers and faxes
    • Right click on your printer icon, and then select Properties
    • Click on the Ports tab
    • Taking care NOT to click in the list of ports (where you might accidentally change something), click Configure Port
    • Compare the IP address in the box "printer name or IP address.
    • If the IP in the box is not the same as the one you have determined for the printer, make sure.
    • OK your way out and you should be able to print.

    Now... If the above has solved your problem, you might want to know why and probably would like to know how to prevent it from happening again.  Him 'why' is normally your wireless router automatically sets the IP address of the printer.  If you turn the printer off, there is no guarantee that the router will assign the same IP address when you turn back on it, especially if the other devices were connected to your router in the meantime.  There are two methods to deal with this.

    One, you can check the checkbox in the tab "Configure Ports" which always says 'print to this device, even if its IP address changes.'  This is a feature that the HP printer drivers have, but in my experience, it is not reliable.  It works probably better if you change the contents of the box of the IP address of the printer "hostname."  This is something that you should be able to find in the printer setup utility accessed through your web browser.  It is NOT the name of 'Port' that appears on the "Port Configuration" tab in the area above the IP address.

    Two, you can change the way that the printer receives his usual default IP (automatic) address manual, otherwise known as a static IP address.  If you do this, you will need to choose an IP address that is in the same subnet as your router (this means that the first 3 of the 4 series of numbers of the IP address must be the same).  For example, if the IP address assigned to your printer is 192.168.1.105, then any IP address that you select for use as a static IP address for this printer must begin with 192.168.1.  The last part may be any number of through254 2, EXCEPT that it may not be a number this router can assign to something else.  You will find this bit of your router configuration utility.  Or, if your printer was awarded automatically an address with the last part as 100, 101, 102, 103, etc, you'll be pretty reliable if you choose a number far away, but still within the range (for example, 25, 50, 200).

  • Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low

    Dv7-3165dx notebook computer unexpectedly shuts off when the battery is low. Even at 17%.

    This gets really annoying, that I keep losing jobs! Before it used to give me a warning and then Hibernate. Now there is no warning and it turns off without saving anything.

    Help!

    The laptop is a year old.

    I already ran the diagonsitic battery and it said the battery was good.

    OK, I think I finally figured it by changing power options, and I think that the way you reset the battery also helped.

    Here are the parameters:

    reserve battery level (this is when the popup will appear).

    10%

    low battery (this is when the low battery action will be performed).

    8%

    critical battery level (my computer would die at this point.)

    7%

    low battery action: sleep, sleep (this customize to your liking).

    battery low notification: on (hold on).

    critical battery action: sleep, sleep (my computer died already in criticism.)

    Computer says printer HP deskjet F2180 door open, but it is closed.  Printer seems to be happy and work OK (no lights telling me that there is a problem) and when I took the cartridges (21 and 22) and then put back them in the printer, he printed the document scan for me.  It's just that, in the section printer HP on the PC, it says 1 document in the queue and printer: door open.  I have tried everything - everything is off for 30 seconds, etc., and time is of the essence that I have things printed on Saturday pm and collated etc..  Help, please!  Thank you, Lindaeleanor.

  • Screen turns black and shuts off when wakes up Portege Z830 - 11M

    Hi all

    Anyone know what could be the reason for the screen goes black and turns off when the laptop wakes up?
    The laptop is Toshiba Portege Z830 - 11 M W7HP, purchased in September.

    The problem started shortly after I bought the laptop, but gradually began with a period of 1-2 seconds black screen whenever I tried to wake the portable computer of fashion 'sleep'. He didn't look like a regular part "blackout" of the wake-up process so I just tried to ignore it, but it started to happen more often recently. It got really worse after two months of use and the black screen two or three times until I'm at the login screen. The error was also difficult to re-create because it was random. Sometimes, the screen went black once sometimes twice or just blinked for a fraction of a second.

    Yesterday, I worked during the day and at night it turned really bad. The screen went black several times, whenever I went back to work after a short break.
    I changed the laptop off when I'm done, but when I turned back on it in the morning, the screen was just black. I tried to use the touchpad, but it is only the screen on the gray.

    Can anyone suggest what to do?

    So finally that cannot start the laptop is Hmm normal?
    It would be interesting to know if this help:
    -Battery adapter and ac removal
    -Press and hold power button do this for 30 sec
    -Then reconnect both sides.
    Turn on the laptop?

    If this is not good enough, you're in trouble I guess its hardware related issue and in this case you must service help

    Windows Firewall should not cause any problems.

    Try to rub all the drivers of HP from your computer and then perform a clean installation.

    The installation CD:

    1. Insert the CD in the drive and then cancel Setup

    2. open my computer, then right click on CD drive and choose open

    3 open the Util folder

    4 open the CCC folder

    5. run the L4uninstall.bat

  • Envy4500: Computer says printer is offline and will not print, but it's online

    I jumped through all the hoops of tech and there seems to be no perfect solution to this problem. However, can I change my settings wireless direct on with security on without security on Off, and at any time, I am doing this, work in Quebec will begin. But I have to do it almost everytime I have print something. I need to scan from my remote IO. Let me know if HP has a better solution. Obviously, the computer is not properly talk to the printer. I started having this problem after Windows 10, but yet curiously, so I don't think it's a matter of Windows.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP Forums.

    You can try this:

    Creating a TCP IP port

    1. print a Configuration Page to get the printer IPv4 address (you can also tap on the icon wireless on the front panel of your printer to obtain the IP address)
    2. on your PC, go to the Panel control, devices and printers, right-click the printer and on the left, click printer properties, select the Ports tab.
    3. click Add Port, select the Port TCP/IP Standard, then New Port and follow the instructions in the wizard.
    4. Enter the IP address of the printer.

    Note that you can ALWAYS go back to the original port the HP software installed by selecting the HP port on the Ports tab (in the properties of the printer)

    Hope that helps!

  • Computer says printer not connected

    Hi-

    I use a HP Photosmart C4280 and run OSX 10.9.4.  My computer always tells me that the printer is not connected (I checked the power and the USB connection and both are good).  When I go to add the printer in system preferences no choices appear.  Can I/how can I reinstall the printer driver?

    Hello amemoliand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you have connectivity problems.  I would like to help.

    I suggest to remove the printer from your printing system, using this document: uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once you have deleted, I suggest to check and repair disk permissions: function to fix the permissions of all utility disk drive.

    I also run your Apple updates: OS x: Mac App Store apps and OS X update

    After the updates, I recommend you time the printer using this document on v10.9 OS X Mavericks: installing and using the printer on a Mac.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    "Nelson Riñón job" wrote in message News: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy * .com...

    My pc turns off suddenly when I'm uploading photos in Facebook. Why?

    Overheating, driver problems, and many others.  What are your having seen or heard before shutdown? It happens at any other time? Look in Event Viewer to see if you can see any represented pattern that would cause the stop.  Is this a full power off shutdown or a blocking of the screen or the BSOD?  Describe please.
  • Use iCloud settings shuts off when I opened the Pages and Numbers

    I have docs Pages and Numbers in iCloud (no road to iCloud) I want to access. There, they were stored on my old iPad 2 current running iOS 7.1.2 2.2.2 Pages and Numbers 2.2.2. I do not use iCloud Drive, just the 5 GB of storage free iCloud.

    On my new iPad 2 Air 2.6.2 performer 9.3.2,and 2.6.2 and number Pages when I opened two app, their desktop computers do not show the docs to iCloud. When I go to the settings in the applications of bot and activate using iCloud, as soon as I open an app, when I look in settings, with the iCloud button automatically turn off the coast. The only pop-up menus to choose from for iCloud on the new iPad 2 Air must use iCloud Drive, which I don't use.

    Is there a certain limitation in these apps that only allows to use iCloud drive and not the 5 GB free iCloud I use?

    Tips on how to connect to these docs Pages and Numbers in iCloud on my iPad 2? I know that I could email them to me, but that would be a lot of work.

    You do not use more of your space free storage on iCloud by using iCloud drive. iCloud Drive is simply the latest, most updated to access your documents in iCloud iOS 9.

    I suggest to turn it on and use it.

    I bought laptop Satellite C850-B820 2 months there is use to this normal subject, 2-3 hours a day, I was working on it without the power connected, the status of the battery was at 50% so I plugged in to recharge, suddenly power left and returned to 1 seconds, after a while, I took the power cable and suddenly he cut re plugged again and checked the status of the battery is completely charged 100%, someone has idea what wrong with it?

    Maybe the disconnection of electricity makes the battery or motherboard?

    > Shows 100% recharged, but the battery has no effect, if I unplug the cord cut.

    In my opinion, there are two reasons why the unit stops when you unplug the AC adapter.

    (1) battery failures and State of charge of the battery will not
    (2) electronic power supply motherboard is faulty. These electronic controls of the computer mobile power

    I think you should check if the new battery would help to solve your problem.
    But you said that the laptop is not very old, around the age of 2 months and so the warranty should still be valid.

    In this case, you should not attempt to resolve yourself but should contact the service in your country in order to verify the device. He should be permanently guaranteed covered
