and thank you!

Hey @seankernan,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

I understand that you have some problems with your Mac OSX 10.11 machine printing on your Laserjet P1606dn printer. I can help you with that.

To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet , not a surge protector. Once this is done, we will have to determine if the printer is in an error state. Make this document explains associated material of the printer errors, what they mean and how to solve them.

If the document does not help you solve the question and the only light is a steady green light then the next step is to make sure that the printer can print a self-test page. To hold both down the button with the sheet of paper on the printer for about five seconds and the printer prints a page. If it is Yes, then the issue is related to the network. If it's not then the issue is still material related. I'll send you some guidance on how to perform a factory reset the printer bit time, however these directions should be carried out only if everything at this point. Do this reset restores all default settings of network on the printer. If you had anything on the printer, then you will need to set up the printer again.

If after following the above, you are still not able to print a self-test page then the printer must be replaced. You can contact HP support by clicking here and filling out the form below.

If after following the above, you are able to print a self-test page, then the next step would be to troubleshoot your network. To do:

Turn the printer off.

Disconnect the power cable from the back of the router for a minute.

Once all the lights are back we will re - turn on the printer.

Print the self-test again page.

At this point, we will need determine what the printer think happens on the network. On the last self-test page, there will be a line indicating the IP address, IPv4 address or something similar. We will have to decide the issue based on the IP address.

  • If the IP address is 0.0.0.0 then the printer is having a problem with the connection to your network at all. Take a look at the network cable to the back of the printer. If you have a light in the back then the printer is having a problem with the network. Contact your internet provider or one that is provided with the router to determine why your printer will not connect to the network. If you have no light or the cable in the back is loose, then you have a hardware problem and the printer needs to be replaced. You can contact HP support by clicking here and filling out the form below.
  • If the IP address starts with 169.254, then the printer does not receive a valid IP address. Wait a few minutes and print the self-test again page. If you still receive an address 169.254, then you have a problem with the network. Contact your internet provider or one that is provided with the router to determine why your printer will not connect to the network.
  • If the IP address starts with 172 the printer connects to a network of comments. If you contact your internet provider or the one that you supplied with the router then they can help you with deactivation of the feedback network.
  • If the IP address begins with 192.168 or 10 the printer is properly connected to your network. The problem is at this point related to your Mac.
  • If the IP address begins with any other number then the printer connects to a network, but someone changed some network settings. At this point, you will need to contact one that keeps your network to determine why your printer cannot connect to your network.

At this point if you are unable to print from your Mac, but are able to print the self-test page then please let me know and I'll be able to provide more guidance. Also let me know if this allows you to print.

If this solves your problem then please help others to find this post by clicking on accept as Solution on my post.

If you appreciate my help so please let others know by clicking on the icon below my post thumbs up.

    From time to time that I step a numeric address for a Web site in the address bar, but when I do, Firefox just freezes for a while, then says could not connect to the server. It's fishy. (hook.)

Now, the printer does not work - it says that the software is installed, but that the printer is not connected to my computer. When I try to follow the steps to connect using the USB cable, the computer shows that the usb cable is connected even! I tried to use printing HP and Scan doctor but that doesn't work either!

    Help, please!

    Hi mpele,.

    I found something that I am confident will help. Please try the following:

    1. Make sure your virus checker is updated and then run a full virus scan.
    2. If you do not have a scanner of Malware such as Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.org) I would be one to install and run a full scan and remove any malicious software that is found.

    After these two steps restart then try a fresh uninstall and reinstall.

    Please let me know how it works.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones BB suddenly not recognized by Mac

    No problem until today.  Have not changed anything. So why do we say not connected BB. Thank you

    Thanks for the reply fast trustdiva.

    Mass storage mode, the PC/Mac to access internal and external memory on the BlackBerry.

    Just a basic question have you tried to remove the battery and place it back in and then try to connect to the Mac?

    If no luck, go to Options > Media Card on BlackBerry and make sure that MTP Protocol is set to off and mass storage mode is on auto enable mass storage when connected is set to Yes.

    Then try to connect the BlackBerry to the Mac.

    Also do you have a previous synchronization software on the BlackBerry?

    I look forward to your reply.

  • My powershot ELPH 360 HS does not connect to Mac OS El Capitan

    My canon powershot elph hs 360 will not connect to my router.  I select my router SSID and enter what I know to be the password, but I tried and it never finds.  Someone at - it suggestions? I am running mac OS El Capitan.

    Hi Jbsylvester,

    When they created El Capitan, Apple has changed the way that Wi - Fi is available. For this reason, the current version of the Canon CameraWindow can't a wireless connection with the El Capitan Mac operating system. Canon is aware of this problem and is working on a solution. Unfortunately, no estimates are available on the arrival of a replacement for the Canon CameraWindow version. I regret the difficulty that this causes.

    You can always transfer pictures and movies using a USB cable. Your camera will accept a USB mini-b cable.  The USB terminal is located on the right side of the camera (that you want to take a picture) under a small door.

  • iMessage works do not correctly on mac and macbook

    Hello!

    Randomly, IMessage decided to stop sending messages to my macbook. I get messages on my phone, but every time I try to send whatever it says "undeliverable message". I spent under preferences and checked to send messages from my account ID apple and my phone number. I have switched between different accounts and sends nothing.

    Also. iMessge used to sync to my desktop computer. I can send messages, but they appear on the device of contacts in a new window. When responding to messages on my office, responses are not sent to my iphone. I also have access to only the sending of my apple account or only send my phone number in the preferences. When I choose just my phone number, messages stop just appear on my computer and show up on my phone.

    It's so frustrating. Desktop PC and my macbook have Yosemite. My iphone's ios 9.

    Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

    Quit the application.

    Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.iChat.plist.  Move the .plist on your desktop.

    Restart your computer, open the application and test. If it works fine, delete the plist for the office.

    If the application is the same, return the .plist where you got it, crushing the latest.

    If this does not work, repeat the above, but remove the com.apple.imagent.plist

  • Weather gadget not working - could not connect to the service

    original title: weather gadget does not!

    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit and my weather gadget does not work, it displays a message "unable to connect to the service.

    I also tried turning off the firewall and antivirus , but it still doesn't work for me.

    Update:
    Microsoft has DISABLED the weather gadgets and currency via a recent update of security, because of worries about the vulnerability associated with these gadgets running on your computer. You can read more here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2719662 . Adjust the settings of your computer and all these other 'suggestions' people are, will NOT work. The function has been REMOVED from the operating system. It has also been removed from Windows 8 operating system. There are "theorists" who agrees that there is a security problem in the gadgets or Microsoft just doesn't support gadgets (usually from third party software) and has therefore disabled them in Windows 7 and eliminated in Windows 8.
    Thanks to DaveNYC for the Info. Pass the word, because a lot of people is facing this problem just like you.

    Do you use the same pattern to the work of master repositories &?

    If Yes, then you must change password in connection to the repository to work as well...

    Connect only to the master repository in ODI Studio.

    Go to the topology-> Repostiories-> repositories of work. Double-click repository work on you

    New window pop up on the right side. Click the card to change the password at reference work
