Debugging a "Wired/Wireless Printer connection.

Suddenly, I have a problem with my printer Epson WF4650 age of 1 month. My setup at home is fairly simple

(1) printer is wired (Ethernet) to a classic Netgear router

(2) I have two laptops (the two Dell laptps) that print (a Vista and a Win7) wireless to my router (and it allows access to the printer)

(3) things worked pretty well, although I often had a message for the dialog box 'Printers and devices' under the State which is "error - printing". He would go from time to time, I would cancel the job and re - print and it would work. I would say that this was maybe 1-5 jobs on.

Earlier today, I printed a work without a problem, so I tried to print another short document. I get the message "error - printing". And now everything that I try to print creates this final result.  Things that which do not help.

(1) restart my PC

(2) print another document (a Wordpad doc with a single line)

(3) print from another computer.

(4) restart EVERYTHING (laptop, printer, router)-I also did a "hard restart" on the printer (unplugged) "

5) re - defining the ethernet between my router and printer connectors

(6) my PRINTERS folder is empty (thingey of print spooler)

(7) the printer seems fine for purposes of printing information about the State of the control panel

(8) I find the Guide of the curious user, especially in the context of things networking. I don't see even my configuration in the list, but I can't imagine it not supported (and it worked for a month). But I don't know enough to be able to understand what he said.

I have zero problems with internet traffic, BTW. Modem connection cable.

I did an IPCONFIG / renew, but this was not helpful.

My network is on zero. I can't even say the output of the IPCONFIG/All command, whether or not my printer is known to be connected to my router.

I don't know where I should look then (printer, router, computer laptop, combination, etc.). Suggestions?

Thank you. ;

Dave

I continued to dig into the manual, found a term that I had misunderstood (causing me to jump to the relevant section of the manual) and found a step that had to be done. And it is to disable WI - FI (I am connected to my router).

Of course I was not connected via WI - FI (stumbled upon some sort of problem with my firewall, so I just plugged the thing). And I have no idea why I went from "occasional failures" to "cannot print a single thing, darn" by doing nothing more than find and open a jpg file to print.

But I'm going to mark this one resolved, as I don't seem to be able to print again.

  • laptop to wireless printer connectivity

    I have a locked box truck in which I want to set up a wireless network between my laptop and a wireless printer. My laptop has internet connectivity via an aircard card. A basic router will solve my problem? There is no modem, only the laptop and printer wireless, in which I want to connect wireless. Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    You don't need a router for that.

    Without a router, you can create a wireless ad - hoc between the laptop and the printer.  See, for example, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00205926

    Many successes of Google more

    The security problem is that XP does support (easily hacked) WEP encryption in wireless ad-hoc mode. On the other hand, nobody's going very far from trying to connect to your printer. Just make sure you don't leave the laptop to active ad hoc wireless network when you are not printing.

    If you get an inexpensive wireless router, you can connect the laptop to the router by an Ethernet cable or wireless.  In this configuration, you will be able to use wireless more secure (WPA or WPA2) security that supports the link (computer or printer).

    In both cases, do not install (or disable) sharing files and printers for Microsoft Networks in the properties of the network card on the laptop.

    Of course, the three devices, only the laptop is likely to be able to operate without available 110vac, you will need to buy some sort of power supply to convert the truck 12VCC power.  Make sure that you add the requirements of power of the appliances that you will probably use in order to get a converter with a sufficient capacity.  I don't have any specific recommendations, but I don't tell you want it a little and do not go for the cheaper product.

  • Wireless printer connection

    I have a HP 3520 printer. Works fine until I got a BT HOME HUB 5. Now, it does not preserve its wifi connection. I have to go to printer turn off wifi and turn it back on. It is wireless and works. If I use it for about 30 minutes she loses again. I tried specifying an IP address so now always, it is the same IP address but does not keep its connection. Any suggestions?

    Thank you. I tried it without success. I think that the BT hub is just not enough. I bought another router and plugged into the BT Hub and use it to transmit the wireless signal. Problem solved. WiFi signal much stronger Round House.

    The printer must be connected to a wireless network directly (and not via USB to your Mac).  Once this is done, you must enable Web Services from the front of the printer.

    Hi @Atmasin,

    I see that you have trouble connecting the printer to the new router. I want to help you.

    I would like to reset the printer first to clear the previous network settings.
    Turn the printer off, press and hold the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer on and do not release both buttons until the printer stops making the noise.

    Print a configuration report and check the SSID address and IP are disabled.
    Print a Configuration Page.

    If the network name has spaces or special characters, the printer may not recognize it.

    The printer is able to send/receive in the 2.4 ghz band.

    If it is set to 5 GHZ network, you may need to change to 2.4 ghz. (rename the 5 ghz or turn it off)

    The WPA key setting must be on AES to work properly not TKIP.

    Multi flow must be enabled.
    Router firewall must be open for printer ports.
    If you have Mac filtering give you printer hardware to meet the needs of the Configuration page.

    You may need to contact your router company to get help to check these settings.

    Try to run the Configuration Wizard wireless of the HP software to set up the printer on the network.

  • Connect a wireless printer anywhere, wired derivation convert, does not have radio, add WPA2 security.

    Update- good because when the wireless radio failed to convert a wired Ethernet printer to wireless technology, or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.

    Updated - connect to a hotel/motel/school dormitory may not work if the network uses Enterprise authentication requesting a user name and password on your computer.

    This article will try to explain how to connect your wireless devices, including printers, to a wireless network when you are away from home.  The problem when you're in a hotel, motel, room student or other areas is your computer connects fine, but your wireless printer, you have brought with you, has connection/security problems.  Other people/wireless devices can find the printer on an open network, connect you to the printer and start printing without reason just because 'they can do. "

    You'll need is a small wireless travel router.  TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N Nano router or other router of trip is all you need.  The WR702N is available on eBay or Amazon for only $21.00, that's right, only $ 21.

    This device does not support the authentication of company systems because it cannot meet any username and password prompts these system as your computer can.  However, it will connect to a standard WPA SSID and your computer, but if you receive a browser for other questions page redirect, it won't work.

    It's a small powerful travel router which built in 5 modes of operation (more than your home router can do):

    1. AP mode
    2. Client mode
    3. Repeater mode
    4. Router mode
    5. Bridge mode

    The TP-WR702N information is found here:

    http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#over

    To see the overview of applications see here first to understand:

    http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#app

    I won't go into the details on how to configure these modes in the TP Link router Nano as the manual does a great job.  One thing you must remember is that you must assign a static IP address on your wired Ethernet connection of computers to access the Web interface internal of the Nano.  The Nano is configured with an Ethernet cable at any time.  It's security that the router that has DHCP disabled so if you connect to a network, you won't crash it with an IP address conflict.  The Nano is powered by a USB cable and comes with a USB AC adapter too.

    The IP address of the Nano is default 192.168.0.254.  Set your computers Ethernet Port, adapter not wireless, a static IP 192.168.0.1, 255.255.255.0 DNS address.  You have to find a way to do it yourself, but it is explained in the manual and on the web for the operating system of your computer.

    This leaves your wired Ethernet connection to a static IP address and your adapter wireless DHCP.  Don't forget to put your wired to DHCP if you need to use it later for a wired connection.  Connect the Ethernet cable from your computer to the router Nano.

    Set up your browser by going to 192.168.0.254 (Nano IP address) in the address bar and you'll get the username and password login screen.  The default username and password is admin/admin, you can change it if necessary.

    Set the Nano bridged mode:

    Other modes will be mentioned later but for now; Bridge mode will serve as this isolates and creates your own SSID private the hotel/motel/dorm room open wireless network SSID.  In Bridge Mode you entrance and connect to the Rangoon SSID (paraphrasing) AND set up your own small network with your own SSID and password.  Your SSID will be separated and protected through WPA2-AES security that you set up.   You will be able to go online normally fine, but all of your devices will now connect to your private SSID.

    Example:

    Hotel SSID: HILTON Hotel Paraphrase and password: GUEST

    Nano SSID: MYNETWORK Nano Paraphrase/password: HP5514

    With this information, the rest is easy.  You set your SSID private and password first, they you must find and connect to the SSID and password hotels.  Simply click on the SURVEY button and a list of all available networks will be displayed along with their MAC addresses.  Find the network SSID, you want to connect (bridge) too and click on "connect".  Information is entered automatically.  I suggest that you also edit your channel wireless on a fixed channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.

    Save your settings and you will be told to restart the router.  Follow the instructions and always restart the router after any changes take effect.  This Nano restarts in 20 seconds approximately.

    Now on your computer when you scan available networks, you will see MYNETWORK.  Connect your computer to the SSID and enter your HP5514 password and you're on!  Start surfing or something else.

    Now, what about your printer?  The printer must be set to DHCP and assuming that you have a printer wireless with front panel:

    1. Go to (Assistant) wireless configuration screen.
    2. Search for available networks.
    3. Select: MYNETWORK
    4. Enter your password: HP5514
    5. To connect!

    In about 15 seconds, you're connected!   Oh, guess what?  The Nano has a WAN/LAN port and in Bridge mode, it is a LAN port that is connected to your network too!  Then plug into a printer/computer Ethernet cable, if you wish.

    Your printer will work as usual with no change at all.  I set up in my house to test and it connected perfectly to my HP5514 wireless printer.  All the tools, diagnostics, printer functions, alerts of ink were normal.

    You're done!

    The bottom can be used anywhere to create a local private network so that you and others can use your printer.

    Now, what about the changes?  If at home, you can use the Nano in Repeater mode to connect to your own network and extend the reach of all devices.  Even as the Bridge mode, but you're on your network using your SSID and the word normal, so everyone can use the printer.

    Don't worry what you heard with speed of execution of a router in Repeater Mode.  Most routers House when running in wireless Repeater mode should be set to no encryption or WEP only.  Here max speed is 54 Mbps.  This Nano turns at full speed of 150 Mbps in these modes, using the highest security WPA2-AES (personal).

    Remember that the size is small, so it's good to perhaps more than 50 feet.  HD video streaming was impeccable and surf watch video at the same time was perfect.

    I hope this help you when business or vacation.  Some hotels charge for EACH device connection.  With the implementation above, it takes only a charge for multiple devices, such as cell phones, iPads, light fires, computers or anything else you want to connect.

    EDIT - do not forget that this Nano device has an Ethernet connection that once configured, you can use to connect a wired computer or wired Ethernet printer.  It is a good radio your printer wireless doesn't have to convert a wired Ethernet wireless printer or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.

    Have fun!

It didn't work, it was not considered when searched under "Add new printer" in "devices and printers". My question is, can a F4440 be transformed into a printer wireless to connect it via USB to a wireless router?

    Hi @nascarjunky,

    But connect a USB cable from the printer to the router is not supported, it might work. You however will not be able to analyze this way. If you are interested in a wireless printer, you can consider calling our technical support, because they may be able to offer a discount on a newer model. Most of the more recent, if not all, models have the ability to print from mobile devices too. May be worth investigating.

    What you can do, is to use the following link to create yourself a file number, then call and it can help to expedite the appeal process:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
