How to connect the Officejet Pro 8100 printer to wireless network

Bought a "nine" Officejet Pro 8100 and want to use via my wireless network. The CD supplied with the printer is obsolete. Updated Apple software but can't see how to connect the printer to the network. Getting Started Guide is no help on this issue. Searched for support without result pages. Utility HP does not provide a method to set up a wireless feature. Find all the instructions, I say first of all make sure that the printer is connected to the wireless network, and that's what I can't find out how. What I forget?

Finally, I called HP hotline for help and was rescued. It turns out that Apple's software update software includes all the required components. The software from the HP Web site is no longer available. It's frustrating to see the Getting Started Guide refer frequently to the HP installation wizard and be unable to locate it. Once the wizard tech took control of my computer and installed the necessary software, it was a breeze!

I also note that compose the support number to talk with a guy was rather brief: between 1 and 2 minutes, I recall. Although there was a menu of the phone, it was not a large (unlike the attempt labyrinthine and often circular to locate the online help).

Insofar as HP knows the necessary software in not available via software update or directly from HP, wouldn't make sense to inform buyers, as well as how to access? At least do not place meaningless, useless on the Web site links that lead into oblivion and frustration!

Although I did appreciate the journey, I finally arrive at my destination. Thanks to Aris, HP technician. You are exceptional!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100: Can not find the driver for the Officejet Pro 8100 online

    I've recently updated to Win10 (the free update, I do not know how many bits). I also then changed my wireless carrier. Now my laptop is not connecting to the new hub, and it seems that there is no driver more - so I don't know if these changes are the problem, or one of them.

    I tried to install a new driver and I first started the process, but the printer not print report pages, and then the laptop don't would not recognize the USB cable, even though it had been plugged in all the time. I tried to remove the cable and reinsert; also turning the printer market, but cela did not work.

    I also have Virgin and with them her reset the hub, but the hub still not connect to the printer.

    Now when I go to the page of drivers hp and it identifies my product, it then tells me there is no drivers for this printer now, and I should come back later in case they are developing.

    I can't believe that this is true. Can you please give me a link to a page where I can find and install the driver?

    May also explain why the cable USB is not recognized?

    Thank you.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100: Officejet Pro 8100 printing problem!

    I've been using an Officejet Pro 8100 for about four 4 years or so and, recently, he stopped printing the color MAGENTA ink cartridge.  I ran to the printhead cleaning app more app of the alignment of printhead several times; but, in vain.  I also spent cartridges; also, in vain.   By local service organizations, I was told that I might as well buy a new printer as the cost for the service could be almost the same as the cost of a new printer.  If there is no solution for my problem, I've been watching the Pro OfficeJet 8210 as an alternative.  It would be a good choice?

    Hi @elbojon1

    Hello

    To my knowledge, you can connect the satellite Pro P100 to HiFi only via a cable 2 RCA Audio Y adapter. To my knowledge the laptop doesn't support the S/PDIF audio output so you only to use an analog audio port.

    You can also buy a stereo adapter with 2 x cinch sockets to connect the laptop to the stereo. This card can be plugged into the headset jack

    Check this box:

    I think you should visit the nearest dealer of portable. It can show you the right and taken in charge of cables and adapters.

  • How can I change the name of my HP OfficeJet Pro 8100, which is a network printer?

    My employer asked if I could change the name of one of our network printers, so it could easily say that it is the choice of location of printers.  I opened the printer from the control panel and choose Customize your printer, general.  I changed the name in the box. After I did it, the printer was grey in the control panel and I got a message saying something about checking the name on the network.  What should do besides changing the name in the box in general?

    LottaLatte,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    One of the dangers of changing the names of "stuff" is that sometimes, this 'trick' is the actual program or a link to a real program that the computer must follow.  Next thing you know, the computer lost track of the program used for - print, get on the network, or make a conference call.

    An easy option and one that usually works is the following:

    No matter when you want to rename an icon, or customize a program, or do something that can change the way a program - works first of all make a shortcut to the program and then change the shortcut.

    Example:

    Control Panel > set display icon > devices and printers >

    Scroll to the bottom for printers >

    Right click on the Active printer (HP PhotoSmart 8200 series) > select Create shortcut *.

    * Text may vary according to the type of action - you can select "Send to desktop" to create certain types of shortcuts

    The action creates a shortcut on the desktop

    Next:

    Right-click on the shortcut > properties > general tab >

    Replace the name with any text you prefer

    If the person for whom you are making the shortcut wishes, you can move or copy the shortcut in a folder, instead of the icon on the desktop.

    Hi @Vin220 and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you have problems printing output. I would like to help!

    I would recommend starting with a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

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

  • at & t u-verse, & having problems connecting my Officejet 4500 to my current wireless network

    Hello

    I just got an Officejet 4500, and I am unable to connect it to my current wireless network.  I'm AT & T U-Verse so I use 2Wire equipment.  I have a Mac Book Pro, and I'm on Mac OS X operating system 10.5.8.  When I try to connect, I get an error message saying something like "Failed to connect."

    In the past, I had problems connecting my Airport Express to 2Wire.  In order to make it work, I connected the router 2Wire and changed the WPA - PSK (TKIP) security settings and WPA2 - PSK (AES) to just WPA2 - PSK (AES).  My Airport Express was able to connect without any problems.

    Please help me to connect my Officejet 4500 to my 2Wire router.  I note also that I'm not really tech savvy so I need instructions are written in simple terms.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Tanisha Hey! Try as part of this support document: AT & T 2Wire routers: "Login failed" or "Can't find printer" Message, or cannot connect to a wireless network

  • Try to install OfficeJet Pro L7680 via a wireless network on OSX 10.8.2

    It does not work!

    I watched the videos and documents, and the printer appears in the menu of add printer, no matter how long wait.

    I CAN manually add it via the IP address, but it only tri-des works; I can only print B & W and no other feature (fax, scan). I can update the drivers, but the drivers updated... weird, because if I then remove the printer and try and add it again, he will see it as ONLY a fax.

    Router is D - LINK DIR-655, if it's important.

    Summary: can add printer via IP, but it his lack of features, cannot add printer via the normal method.

    Add a printer by IP Yes, never give all the features, usually only basic printing.

    Make sure that your router has the latest firmware and it is freshly restarted by pulling the power plug.

    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

    Restart your Mac.

    Reset the printing system:

    -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
    -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and then beside the dropdown 'Use', select the model of the printer (not AirPrint). Wait for the 'Add' button becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • OfficeJet pro 8100 prints the code source visual studio in black only

    This problem occurs only for installing the 8100, previously, I received ouput on laserjet 2600n color.  I followed the troubleshooting pages, print in black only is disabled, grayscale printing is turned off.  Strangely, the same problem occurs when you print from MAC x-code.

    I think it is a setting in VS which must be enabled.  I found this forum which explains how do it, but I don't have access to VS to test.

  • OfficeJet Pro L7780: Printer lost wireless connectivity

    The printer (which worked before wireless) has lost the connection to the router (wi - fi) for wireless printing and can not find the router when you run "Wireless Wizard". Have restarted the printer several times, but no chance connection. Summary diagnosis said the network name 'failed '. (I have with other devices wireless connectivity). The Configuration Page shows wireless status is disconnected and shows all zeros for the IP address and the subnet mask.

    Need suggestions on what to try next. Thank you.
