• 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.

  Have you changed your router or your password since the MacBook Air? If this is not the case, your printer can still be connected to the network and the trickiest part of that place will be done for us already.

  We will print a Network Configuration report to see if it is connected:

  • On the Control Panel, press the button next to Scan. The Scan/Wireless menu.

  I assume that you have a wireless printer. If so, the software is different from each manufacturer, but it is similar to this. Before starting the installation, make sure that you have a USB cable at your fingertips and you know your network name (SSID) and wireless key. Install the software and follow the prompts to set up the connection Wireless for the first time. Once it has been set up you can unplug the USB cable.

  The USB cable is not required on subsequent computers, simply install the software and follow the prompts on the screen of an additional computer (or similar wording). You may need to enter an SSID and Wi - Fi key, after which the printer must be accounted for.

• HP Deskjet 2050 print in a wireless network?

  Hello world!

  I watched this videoand follow these steps, but it seemed impossible to print my printer wifi, then what should I need to print in my network.

  Also, I have 2 desktop computers (1 router to connect to the internet and 1 printer, use wifi) and 1 laptop (wifi use).

  1. Office has the modem, Windows 7 64 bit.
  2. Office printer, use Windows XP SP3.
  3. Laptop using Windows 7 64 bit.

  If it is possible to print in a wireless network of my HP Deskjet 2050, I can print from my laptop without turning on 1 desktop printer or not, just that the printer lights? And what I have to install each office and cell phones, drivers of the printer? 

  I mean just 1 desktop computer a Modem lights and I'm working on laptop.

  Thank you for reading and re-reading!

  Well, you can turn the impression on the host PC sharing, then load the drivers on the other PC and print via the host PC.

  The host computer must be turned on (not sleeping).  Also, this is going to share the printer, but cannot share the analysis.  If the host computer has to one different operating system than the others, it can be difficult and is not all that reliable.

  It's as good as it gets with a USB printer only.  If you want more you have to get a wireless printer.

• Windows Update stopped at my printer Brother MFC-J825 DW of printing on my wireless network

  I got 15 updates from windows, two days ago and now I can't access my Brother MCF-J825 DW printer on my wireless network.  I had the same problem with my computer that is on the local network and I got an update for the printer of MCF-J835DW brother.  After downloading and installing, I now have my computer on the LAN working.  I am unable to find the KB with this driver.  I have redownloaded the Brother software for the printer.  I did the installation, however, even if the computer detects the connection to the local network, I'm unable to print to the printer.

  The KB seems to have solved my problem on a computer.  I need the number.

  Thank you,-I now have this problem.  Thanks anyway.

  If you go to Microsoft updates and click review update history, you can see the number of KB and each update, the date it was insstalled.

• OfficeJet 6700 cannot find the printer on the wireless network

  Printer is connected to my wireless network.

  Print diagnostic shows PASS for everything and I have ip (DHCP 192.168.2.19)

  The printer is able to connect to the internet to download updates and pull content for apps (colouring etc...)

  I disabled my firewall of windows to resolve the problems, but the HP software was listed as exceptions anyway.

  Using the printer on my computer connection wizard I entered both the IP address and the host name but it is "impossible to find the printer.

  My router is a netgear WNDR3700.

  The ssid that I am connected is good.  I have a network of both comments, but it does not broadcast its ssid and I am not connected to it.

  I am getting very frustrated.  I'm tech-saavy and it should be much easier than this.

  I wonder if anyone else encountered this problem and can anyone offer suggestions?

  Thanks in advance...

• Set up a wireless printer to a wireless network and to a computer with windows 7

  My question is this; I would like to set up my HP 4500 wireless printer to a wireless network and on my laptop windows 7 at the same time. Does make a difference if I put it to the computer first, or the first wireless network?

  Just follow the instructions that came with the printer.    Your computer is required to install the printer, so the work of the computer first would be a good idea.

• How to share a printer Canon MP 970 with a WinXP Dell laptop and a Dell of Win7 desk top?

  I recently implemented a Dell PC in Win7 professional desk top which is ethernet connected to Verizon FIOS router home. This configuration has replaced a desktop Dell 7 years under Win XP computer. In an adjacent room, I have a Canon MP970 USB printer connected to an old Dell Laptop for six years under Win XP and connected wireless to the router home. I was unable to configure the latest desktop computer Win7 to share Canon printer. Older Dell/WinXP (replaced) desktop has been configured to share the printer Canon with Dell laptop, WinXP and did successfully...

  In the laptop, I selected control panel > printers and faxes > sharing > drivers additional > environment, but can find no list for Win7. My thought is that the laptop must have the appropriate driver that allows it to recognize the request of Win7 Office to share the Canon MP970 printer. Thank you fo all help and advice from the community can offer.

  Hi GrampyH,

  If you have a printer connected to your computer, you can share it with anyone on the same network. No matter what type of printer you have, as it is installed on your computer and is directly connected with a USB cable or other type of printer cable. The people from that your choice to share the printer will be able to use it to print, as long as they first locate your computer on the network.

  Printers that are directly connected to a network and not connected to a computer are available to anyone on the same network. These printers must have a network port or wireless connection that allows them to connect directly to the network.

  You can read these articles and check if that helps.

• How to connect a USB-wireless printer to a wireless network without PC

  Some HP printers do not have a Wizard of wireless configuration integrated into the façade to connect to a network.  These models install to a computer via a USB connection and the software then sends information wireless via the USB cable to the printer.  However, you do not always have a present computer and still need to connect these printers to a wireless network.  You can use a wireless, like an iPad device, to do this.  For the example below, I used an iPad and a printer Deskjet 3510.

  The first step is to make sure that your printer is aired at an (Ad Hoc) network.  To do this, turn on the printer and press the wireless or wireless Tower, and then in the Setup menu. Connect the iPad (or other wireless device) to the signal being broadcast by the printer wireless.

  Once the iPad is connected to the printer as long as a network connection, open the Web browser on the iPad.  Type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and go to this site.  Printer status page should load and look like the picture below.

  

  Click the network at the top of the status page.  You can get a quick warning while being redirected to an HTTPS site.  Click Ok in the message box to continue.  When you click OK, you can get a warning about the identity of the server or the certificate.  Select the option that allows you to continue.  The wording can vary from a browser, but there should be an option to continue anyway.

  Network status page should now be loaded at this point.  Select Assistant wireless to start the installation of the wireless network and click Next.

  

  When then is selected, it must list the available wireless networks.  Select your network from the list and click Next.  When the network is selected, it should be noted.

  Enter the network password if necessary and click Next.

  

  A message should be received indicating the name and if security is enabled.  The message below which must indicate that the settings have been saved successfully.  If it indicates that the settings were saved successfully with an error, the configuration of the network is more than likely operation.  Click Ok at the bottom.

  

  After selecting OK, select status to check that the printer is connected successfully.  It may take a few minutes for light wireless to the printer to stop flashing.  Once it is a solid blue, the printer must be on the network and operation.

  

  Once this is over, then you will be able to reconnect to your wireless (wireless router) normal signal for internet access.  Now, the iPad and the printer are on the same home network.

  I hope this helps.

• Can't find existing printer on the wireless network

  I'm trying to establish a connection between a laptop recent Dell running Windows 7 and HP C7250 printer that is connected to the same network without wire connected to the computer.  I downloaded the correct driver from HP and during the installation process the installer wants to know how I want to set up the connection between the computer and the printer.  I select "wireless network" and the software goes out and tries to find the printer.  It relates, again, that there is no printer on the network.  I tried the advanced search option of installation of HP - looking for the printer using its IP address (which I have of it is implemented the process) but it is impossible to find out who way or the other.  The printer has already been successfully implemented to communicate with the network (it indicates that it is connected, provides the IP address, etc.).  I know that the computer works on the wireless network: she uses this path to connect to the internet.  I wonder why this printer is not found.  Troubleshooting HP message suggests that the computer security software can block recognition.  I am running MS Security Essentials.  Is it possible this?  The printer cannot provide the correct information on the network for any reason any?  BTW, this configuration was working at once but then stopped for some reason any.  I followed all instructions associated with this facility but havecome in the gaps.  Any suggestions on how I could disturb more pull this problem?

  The likely cause is the security setting. A few things to try:

  1. Open your browser and the IP address of the printer.  If the printer is properly connected to the network, you should see the web server integrated for the printer.  If this succeeds, then go to step 2, otherwise study why the printer isn't appearing any more on the network.
  2. Download and run the HP Network Diagnostic Utility. It will solve various aspects of network connectivity.
  3. If the above does not resolve the problem, then follow the steps in this additional debugging page, which may include to manually adjust the settings of the firewall as shown here.   There are a number of ports that the AIO units use to communicate with the computer.

• Printing from a PC to a printer on the wireless network wireless cable

  My Photosmart 7520/25 is on my wireless network that uses a Netgear router.

  How can I print to this printer, using a PC running Vista Business Desktop computer that is connected to the router?

  The printer is connected to the network and trying to set up the connection/print drivers on the PC, the printer is never "found".

  I have no problem to print on printer even my old laptop XP wireless.

  Tried a lot of things and not get the right settings or find the right key words to find the solution.

  To save time, I just bit the bullet and spent $25 for a wireless USB.

  Use the option "Direct print", voila! fact.

  When in doubt, go with the hardware solution...
