DeskJet 6940 connected via ethernet to the airport cable, do not print

Hello

I used to run my HP Deskjet 6940 printer using a USB connection. I recently installed an Apple Airport Extreme so I can print wireless. If necessary, the printer is connected to the airport by using an ethernet cable and turned on the light green network. On the advice of a HP rep by phone, I uninstalled all old HP software and reinstalled HP software downloaded from the HP website.

When I try to add the printer to my 'system preferences', it opens a panel that contains the following options:

Protocol: Automatically selects "line printer daemon - LPD.

Address: Empty but allows me to type in the IP address assigned

Print using: no idea.

More than two things: when I open the HP Device Manager and select "set up a network, information network configuration printer seems in good condition but the Manager does not allow me to 'apply'.  Not sure if this is important but no the printer utilities appear in my folder utlities since the new software download. Thank you.

Looks like you are using a Mac.

First of all, the driver for the Deskjet 6940 is built into Mac OS.  You really didn't need to download additional www.hp.com (sorry for the bad advice) stuff.

Next, we'll check that the printer is on the network.  In Safari, select bookmarks, display all bookmarks.  Select Hello in the left pane, and then check the Deskjet 6940 appears on the list of devices on your network.

Then, follow these instructions to reset the print Mac subsystem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341

Now add the printer to the Print & Fax under System Preferences applet by pressing the [+] button.  The Deskjet 6940 should be among the kind Hello from printers.  Select it and press Add.

I think that should do it.

    Hi, I have several time capsules.

    I can connect to the web, but the airport utility does not see the time capsules.  I tried to restart the time capsules, router, computer, but I still don't see any of the devices on the network.

    What now?

    Have you tried the airport utility in the iOS version... Download on the App or iTunes store and load... Works better than the Mac version.

    > And my HDMI works with monitors, TV (but sometimes!), etc.

    If s computer laptop HDMI port works correctly in relationship with other devices, I think that the problem is related to your laptop.

    What happens exactly when the projector is connected? Can you pass to the external video using the FN + F5 key combination?

    The use of Fn + F5 keys can toggle between internal and external display.

  • HP LaserJet 1200: HP LaserJet 1200 connected via USB to the PC with Windows 7 is not redirected in DRC

    Hello.

    HP LaserJet 1200 connected via USB to the PC with Windows 7 (32 bit) and works fine (latest drivers via Windows Update installed).

    But when I have connected via RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) for PC with Windows XP and try to print from this PC to LJ1200 - it is not redirected in a remote desktop session and I did not see in printers and Faxes folder.

    Other printers from PC with Win7 works fine via DRC (XPS Document Writer and PDFCreator).

    During this time when I do the same thing from another PC with Windows XP, LJ1200 (connected via USB to the PC) works very well through the DRC.

    Anyone know how to make LJ1200 to be redirected in a remote desktop session?

    Thanks in advance.

    For more information, here are 2 possible solutions:

    1. put two computers in the same workgroup and then share the printer and install from the remote computer.

    2. best solution: install on PC with Windows 7 drivers for Windows XP (PCL6) - it works very well as a redirected local printer via DRC!

  • UDP connection via wifi in the name of 8320 tunnel met IOException:Invalid

    I am new to Java, trying to open a UDP connection on wifi in my BB8320 (V4.2.2.180).

    I have connected to my 8320 to a WiFi network and that you can access Web page in the browser (configuration: Wi - Fi browser).

    I tried with: Connector.open (DatagramConnection) (datagram://192.168.1.101:5009) and Connector.open (DatagramConnection) (udp://192.168.1.101:5009), but all got IOException:Invalid name of the tunnel.)

    Here's my Mobile Network Options in the camera: Data Services - on; Connection preference - Wi - Fi only.

    The same code works fine in the emulator, tested in a wired network.

    I googled this IOException, it seems that the TCP APN cannot be null, I tried with blackberry.net cmnet, wap.voicestream.com and even the name of the Wi - Fi connection, everyone met time-out problem.

    I have some questions below:

    1. is there any configuration that I missed?

    2. the UDP connection via wifi check the AFN? The APN configured in the emulator is null.

    3. do UDP and TCP connection API need permission in the device?

    Appreciate for any suggestions!

    Sam

    I did in the past, and IIRC the trick was to add: «;» interface = wifi; deviceside = true"to your connection string. for example:

    Connector.Open ("udp://192.168.1.101:5009; interface = wifi; deviceside = true ")"

    sureshotnj,

    With this particular Deskjet, you won't have to add it. The application will automatically search and find all capable printers.

    You can select the Photos section, select a photo, and then see if your printer is auto-découvert on the bottom in the center of the application when you view your selected photo.

    Hi Longpo,

    1. what happens when you try to print?

    2. you receive an error message/code?

    Printing problems can be caused by cables that are not properly connected, corrupt, drivers, incompatible drivers, the printer settings, missing updates and problems with your printer. Refer to the help article and check if that helps.

    I suggest the following: disconnect the cable USB, then download the full driver recommended from HP here.  Once the download is complete, run the Setup program.  Do not connect the USB cable until the installation program invites you to do.
