Hi, my HP Photosmart C310b connected to the iMac often loses the print connection

When I go to print, I get a msg saying "cannot find printer" when everything is connected. It's like if it disconnects after a period of time. I have to completely restart the iMac and go through the tools/network/Wireless configuration wizard... so it works well. Any ideas why this happens? Thank you!

Here's a video for information on how to set a static IP address on the printer. Follow these instructions and let me know if this relieves the connectivity issues you have.

  • HP Photosmart 5520: cannot find the printer

    Until last night I only had intermittent problems, using the scan on HP Photosmart 5520 function.  Then all of a sudden not analyze or print work - message there.  MacAir displays the RED DOT printer offline, by default.  The printer has remained non-connected.  I restarted MacAir.  I have turned off HP 5520, unplugged the wire to plug in a normal machine (of an extension of protection against overvoltages).  On reboot I have always run.  I then tried wireless live - without success.  Then, I removed the 5520 HP of the MacAir intending to reinstall.  To attempt to reinstall Mac Air is unable to find a printer.  The HP 5520 wireless network test results show no problem.

    Please notify.

    Problem solved.

    I turned Mac Air, printer and router off and restarts.  It worked.  The problem was the router!

  • Photosmart Wireless B109n-z: Impossible to connect the printer wireless to the new router

    I just changed my wireless router and can not get my printer to recognize the new router.

    When you try to reinstall with the disc that came with the printer it keeps "quit unexpectedly" at the end of the installation, but before I get to connect to the printer.

    The drive indicates that it is for use with Mac OS X v10.4; 10.5, but I can't find an option to update the web site HP despite it stating that my printer is still supported.

    I can still use the printer with a USB cable connected directly to my table, but this is no help for the other devices I have.

    Hi @Paulwrow,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!
     
    I understand that you are unable to connect your HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z to your new router wirelessly. I'd be happy to see this with you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.
     
    The CD/DVD software will not work with newer versions of Mac OS X. HP doesn't have the drivers for this printer in Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The last driver out of this printer is for Mac OS X 10.6. The only driver available that uses the driver update from Apple. This causes a problem when reconfigure the wireless, as this is the software for help. It would be easier if you have another computer running an operating system that is supported so that you can install the full feature software to configure the wireless.

    As an alternative method, you can try doing as a guideline to connect the wireless printer. We will use the ad-hoc connection. With the ad-hoc connection, you can launch the built-in web server (EWS) to access the wireless configuration wizard.
     
    Use the following steps as a guide:
    Restore the default settings of the network:

    1. Press the button next to the wireless Menu.
    2. Press the button next to wireless settings.
    3. Press the button next to network by default.

    Once the network is reset, the printer should disseminate the ad hoc connection. It should look like "hpsetup" or "HP Setup (and part of the printer name or MAC address). With an IP address like 169.82.12.44.
     
    Then, connect to the network printer, that is broadcasting.

    1. On the Mac in the upper right corner, click on the wireless icon and connect to the network "HP Setup" or "hpsetup".

    Print the wireless test report:

    1. Press the button next to Scan.
    2. Press the button next to the wireless Menu.
    3. Press the button next to wireless settings.
    4. Press the button next to run the wireless network Test.

    Browse the test report wireless IPV4 of the printer (IP address) 169.82.12.44.

    1. Launch your internet browser and enter the IP as shown. This should load the printer EWS.
    2. Click on the tab network across the top.
    3. On the left side, click on wireless or network.
    4. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

    This is the only way to reconfigure the wireless, unless you have another computer that has supported the software.

    For more information on the ad-hoc connection, see the User Guide.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

  • Problem with the HP Photosmart C4780 connection after moving

    I recently moved into a new place, so, get a new router, connection. Since I moved, I was not able to connect my printer (HP Photosmart C4780) to the wireless network. When I try, an error message indicates that the IP address of the printer does not match the one on the PC (a Windows 7 32 bit). How can this problem be solved? Thanks in advance

    From the front of the printer: [Scan] Setup > network > network by default.

    Now run the HP software to add your printer (start > all programs > Hewlett-Packard > C4700 series...)

  • HP Photosmart 5520 - problems with the connection to the web service

    Hi, I'm trying to run the web service on Hp Photosmart 5520, but it does not work. Wireless printing works well, but he says that it cannot connect to the server and sometimes requires adding a proxy.

    I've set up a fixed IP and I used it in the IP (manual ip) configuration, I've implemented manula and gateway subnet mask (using the address of my router). I used the same primary DNS preferred (but also tried 8.8.8.8 and others)

    No question.

    Currently, I removed all of the proxy page. The error I get says that it cannot communicate with the server.

    Thanks in advance

    .. don't ask me what happened... while I was writing this worked
    Thanks anyway

  • Photosmart C4599 connects to the wireless network

    System details: Windows 7 64 bit, HP Photosmart C4599 Limited Edition. Wireless network (Netgear router) with visible SSID and MAC filter.

    As the title suggests: my wireless printer is not connecting to my wireless network more. The reason that it is 'more' is because he used to work. But my wireless router has started to lose the internet connection - and I read somewhere that it might work to change the broadcast channel of the router (instead of channel 11 to 13). And it helped.
    But since then, the printer was not able to connect. I tried it back - and interruption of the internet connection but the printer worked (a little).

    I tell myself that I have to reset the wireless printers Setup, I don't know how to do.

    Ok.  I think that the issue would be with the channel.  It might be too high a frequency for the printer to communicate properly.  You can have a heavy traffic on any channel, it depends on what is around you.  I recommend trying channel 1 or 6.  You should be able to download a parser for your smart phone wifi see what are the channels have less useage.

  • HP PhotoSmart restricted 6525 in the wireless network connection

    Hello

    I need to connect my HP PhotoSmart 6525 to a wireless network in my college dorm room.  IT supports the University has published the requirements for the connection to the restricted network and attention that many printers cannot. I looked on the HP website to see if my printer supports the protocols required, but information HP provides on the website is not detailed enough to tell.  I hope that someone on the forum can help me.

    Here are the requirements of universities to connect to the restricted network:

    ----------------------------

    • A device with a Wi - Fi adapter capable of 802.11 g, 802. 11A or 802.11n

      Note: 802. 11 b-only devices are not supported

    • To enable DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to obtain IP configuration information

    • Operating system and drivers that support:
      • authentication of 802. 1 x (also commonly referred to as WPA-Enterprise or WPA2-Enterprise)
      • WPA2-AES (preferred) or WPA-TKIP
      • EAP-PEAPv0 (external auth) / MSCHAPv2 (internal auth) or EAP-TTLS (external auth) / MSCHAPv2 (inner auth)

    All connections to the campus network, no matter what either wired or wireless, must also bear the following (which are installed and enabled by default on modern operating systems):

    • IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)
    • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
    • UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
    • ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)

    ----------------------------

    Does anyone know if the HP PhotoSmart 6525 meets these requirements?  For example, he says "PEAPv0(outer auth)/EAP-MSCHAPv2 (internal auth)" or "EAP-TTLS(outer auth)/MSCHAPv2(inner auth)?

    Thanks in advance,

    Paul2

    "I could check on the web site of www.wi-fi.org HP Photosmart 6520 series is approved for"WPA-Personal"and"WPA2-Personal"and _not_ certified for" ' WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Enterprise.  The Enterprise versions require the device to authenticate with a username and password, while the personal versions are not.  I also talked to the school, IT supports and independently, they have said that the problem with the help of authentication printers more is that you can not provide a user name and password.  Given that I could check with two sources independently, according to me, the definitive answer is that I can't use the printer with wireless network from business school.

  • HP Photosmart B109: cannot connect the printer to the wireless network

    I have some setting wrong my printer for wireless printing. It has worked well in the past, but with my new macbook air - this isn't.

    I can't access the function where to add the printer to the wireless network (my router does not support WPS so his password WPA).

    I remember setting this up on a PC - easy with the driver provided by HP, but on the Mac, the configuration tool does not appear to be a function where I add the printer to the wireless network - and HP did not provide a driver, because it is supposed to work with the mac built-in software.

    The manual says only: "follow the instructions on the screen", but the printer does not have instructions on how to connect - on-screen tests, only that it is connected...

    Anyone who knows how to add the printer to a wireless network?

    Hello @Joahkim!

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I understand that you have a problem to set up all-in-one printer wireless HP Photosmart (B109n) with your new MacBook Air OS x 10.10. I want to help you with this.

  • HP Photosmart Plus connects to the wireless network

    I'm trying to connect my HP Photosmart Plus B209A to my wireless network. My wireless router doesn't have the WPS ability to connect. When you print the worksheet diagnosis network radio printer seems to work fine as it recognises my network and my neighbours networks 3 being active. When I try to connect to a network by using the menu from the home screen of the printer wireless says no connection available. Troubleshooting suggest not having your router wireless near a wireless phone, so I put the printer directly next to the router and still no detection. I would have just thought that the wireless radio was broken, if it wasn't for the network diagnostic worksheet. The wireless router is also Verizon FiOS one. Thanks for your help!

    Hi rachorn,

    I see you are having some problems connecting to your network of your HP Photosmart Plus wireless. You use a FiOS router, but installation is not able to see your wireless printer. You have a solid blue light on the front of the printer, what is the IP on the diagnostic page you printed and it says connected?

    I would like you to take a look here: the printer is not found during Setup wireless network in Windows. This document will guide you through the implementation of the IP address manually, please follow all the steps listed. I also recommend moving the router over 4 ' and less than 20 feet of the printer as having close can cause communication problems.

    If after all troubleshooting steps have been completed and you are unable to connect the printer to your wireless network, you may need to contact your router provider and have them open some ports that can block a successful installation.

    Reply with the information requested, I'll watch for your reply.

    Thank you

  • I have my premium photosmart hp connected to a router. my computer is connected to the same network. the s

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium.  I have my computer 64-bit windows 7 and the printer connected directly to the router.  Both are connected to the internet, but when I try to print from the computer to the printer, the computer tells me that the printer is offline.  When I go into the settings of the printer, it is online.  How can I fix it?

    I resolved myself and marked resolved right after that I left my 3rd comment. I leave a post telling the others what I did? Sure.

    I had to reinstall the same exact printer all over again and this time instead of install under USB, I installed it under Wired option.  If you do not have the installation disc, you can download it from this site.  If you encounter problems with the radio after its been used with a USB connection, this can work for you too.
