• Direct print from laptop computer connection

  I have a laptop HP with windows 7 32 bit and the designjet 650 c B model with an installed direct jet card, so I a usb converter cable network I want to print from a usb port or from the port of network cable. I just want to know what is called the port that I use? Help, please!

  You have a wireless router?  I have a Designjet 650 c connected to my router with a LAN cable, can I access the 650 c of my HP laptop wireless via the router.

  If you follow this path, you will get an IP address for the Designjet 650 c by selecting Prev in the menu until you get to the entrance, the top menu can go down three times for installing I/O, entry, entry (modular), entrance (network Cfg = >), down Yes, Prev, Prev, Prev, entrance, entry, down arrow twice for utilities Entry, arrow down twice for Config plot, Enter.

  That you select the jetdirect card like I/O device, get an IP address from the router and then print a configuration page that displays the IP address to halfway to the bottom of the page.

  On laptop computer click Start, devices and printers, do a right-click on the Designjet 650 c, printer, port properties, add a Port, Port TCP/IP Standard, new Port, following, then enter the IP config page printed.  For me, it comes to 192.168.1.13.  Enter the appropriate value, Next, Finish.

  If you do not have a router then consider making an inexpensive wireless router that could be wired to the Designjet and wireless for the laptop.  It would probably be a much better solution than to try to make a converter USB - lan.

  Welcome to the HP Forum.

  Your print spooler service can be hung on the laptop.

  The approach direct to get rid of the blocked files:

  1. Open Windows Explorer (called File Explorer in Windows 8.x)
  2. Navigate to the folder: C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS. *
  3. Delete the files that you find in the PRINTERS folder

  * When you try to click in the PRINTERS folder, you may get a warning about authorization, browse and / or enter the password for the administrator level to be able to access the folder

  Next...

  One method to restart the spooler service:

  Control Panel > display icon > Administrative Tools > Services >

  Click on "name" to sort this column >

  Scroll down and look for print spooler > Select Print Spooler >

  Click on Restart service

• Printer hangs when you attempt to print from laptop

  We have a Dell with Windows XP desktop computer and a laptop HP with Windows Vista.  The Dell all-in-One printer is 942.  We have installed a Linksys Wireless - N Gigabit Router.  We can print from your desktop, but when trying to print from the laptop, the printer hangs.  Please uninstall and reinstall the printer to make it work again.  We went through all the steps Microsoft said about sharing a printer and adding drivers, but nothing works.

  Hello
   
  1. do you have any security software installed on the laptop?
   
  As you are able to print from your desktop without any problem, there must be some incorrect parameters or interruption of other programs on the laptop.

  To reset the print settings, run the printer Troubleshooter by visiting this site and check the result.

  Run the print HP and Scan Doctor just in case a problem is with the HP software.

• Problems printing from laptop to wireless network

  I've had problems for months now print wirelessly from my laptop to my printer. I use a HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium, and my laptop is a Lenovo. When I click on print a document, I get a warning on my laptop that the driver for the printer is offline. I tried to restart my laptop, disconnect and reconnect to the internet, restarting printer, disconnect and reconnect it to the internet, uninstalling and reinstalling the printer (using the existing driver and replace). Sometimes one of these 'corrections' works, other times not. Tonight I tried to restart the two, reconnect the two and then uninstalled and am trying to reinstall it but my laptop cannot find the printer to install it.

  I am at a total loss. I work from home, sometimes and I bought a wireless printer for the convenience that he cannot stand on my desk next to my laptop to connect to the computer. (Also don't know what happened to the cord for the printer on the laptop, presumingI got with the printer.)

  Both devices say they are connected to the internet. I can test my laptop and the internet connection works fine, don't know how to test the connection of the printer, but it says connected and has an IP etc.

  I also tried disconnecting everything but the computer laptop and wireless network printer, and it won't always connect to print.

  Can anyone offer any fixes? This becomes incredibly frustrating when I sit down to work and fight with the printer for hours.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello KitchenTalesand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

  I see that you have connectivity problems.  I would like to help.

  I recommend you to perform 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.

  Once the reset is complete, I recommend you to unplug your router for 60 seconds, and reconnect power.

  After the restart appropriate time, I would recommend using this document on troubleshooting wireless printing Center.

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

• Print from laptop HP530 Vista OS to HP4500 wireless

  Word document simple single page prints OK. Do not print the most complex word document (including the table), PDF files, etc. There is no error message and the task bar shows printer but with zero print jobs; nothing is displayed.

  HP Printer Wizard opens without a problem, to alow scan and other operations.

  I have Norton 360 anti virus installed.

  Others families (using computers laptops not HP) seem to have no problem.

  Can anyone offer any solution?

  I don't know if this was the problem (or why it would be) but I have experienced by changing the IP address of the auto to static, then back to auto. The printer then had an IP from that initially assigned when first implemented. But now it seems that it prints all documents and PDF files.

  By the way, the print HP and Scan Doctor never found any problems and always says that the printer was fine.

  Thanks for your help.

• printing from laptop wireless

  My pc has been connected to the ethernet to the internet modem and there is also a connected usb printer. I bought a laptop computer and a wireless router so I can use the laptop as such. I'm trying to make sure I can print to the wireless laptop, but the router has only ethernet connections. I checked the settings on both machines to make the printer sharing capable but that does not solve the problem. I found an adapter to change the usb from the printer to ethernet interface, and then you connect that the router, but this does not work either. Any suggestions?

  Probably the printer isn't wireless active.

  You must install the full software features on the site of printer manufacturers, or provided CDs, on the laptop, as well as sharing the printer on the PC its connected to. of course the share will only function if the printer connected PC is running.

  It might have been simpler to have bought a router with usb support :)

• DeskJet F2430: Printing from the Internet has stopped working

  My printer worked for several years until now.  I have a Deskjet F2430 all-in-one. When I search for updates, it says that the driver, etc are up to date.  I still can not print a document on the computer, but cannot print anything on the web. A block appears generally who says that the error is unknown, but the script on the page has stopped working (not sure of the wording).

  You are welcome.

  Solutions come in different flavors.

  While Firefox is my own browser of choice for several reasons, I understand that everyone wants change browsers just to print a document.  The smile.  On the other hand, I find myself using Internet Explorer on occasion when Firefox is stubborn on a particular issue - sometimes just adapt to the situation.

  There should be a permanent solution for IE - can - be another Expert or someone else will chime.

  If I find something useful, I'll post.
