HP Deskjet 6988 wireless printing problem

I'm unable to print 'wide' at the HP DJ 6988 files.  The operating system is Vista Home. When it is connected to the printer via a USB cable, no problems.  When it is connected to the wireless printer, I can print small files only.  (a single page of text created in Notepad prints fine).  When I send a 'broad' file, such as a digital camera for example, the 'receiver' (green) blinking merrily away, for about 3 to 4 minutes. Then on 1/8th of the photo prints, then more flashes but nothing still happens.  The print queue of the printer displays an error.  My son-in-law has printed a picture of her laptop XP, no problem?  Seems to me it may be a problem of "winding" of Vista, but I can't wait to hear him talk about someone who has solved the problem?

Unfortunately, I believe that it is the Netgear router. I removed my old trusty Netgear FV318 and replaced it with a Linksys BEFSR81... NOTE! It is a router 'VISTA READY'.  This solves the problem. Something to do with 'stacks' but I can't be bothered, this solved all the problems.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: Wireless printing problems with HP Deskjet 2540

    Hi all

    I have a problem with a printer HP Deskjet 2540 - it prints if I connected a USB cable; However, he refuses to print if I try to print wireless.

    I had initially solved this problem when I went into system preferences > printers and Scanners and noticed two 2540 Deskjet series icons in a window titled 'Printers '. I ended up removing one of these icons and set it as a default, which temporarily seems to solve my problem. Now, I see two icons back in the "Printers" menu and my printer refuses to print over my wireless connection.

    My printer is connected to my internet connection so I don't think there is a problem here - I also recently installed the software for this printer to make sure it wasn't some kind of driver issue; However, it doesn't give me the permanent solution, that I'm looking.

    Any advice? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.5

    Hey @love2dance,

    Please come back to me and let me know what you have tried.  I found an article by HP which has a more in-depth approach to troubleshooting your network configuration.  Click on the title of the article and start of Solution 2 and work your way down until finish you setting up your printer successfully:

    Note that the steps are for Mac OS X 10.8 but you will find that again, as they apply to your configuration of Mavericks.

  • DeskJet 1112: wireless printing

    I bought HP DeskJet 1112, which is advertised as a wireless printer. I don't know how to do wireless. I installed it as it is written, but the software in the CD provided and that in the HP site is 1110 series.  Whwn I unplug the cable USB of the PC does not see the printer. Maybe I am not doing correctly.  Is it really wireless?

    Thank you

  • Mac Book Pro and HP Envy 110F wireless printing problems

    I got my Mac book Pro for Christmas 2013 and initially had no problem printing wireless to my HP Envy 110F, but for some reason, I keep getting problems with printing to the envy of 110. We don't have printing problems with our Ipad for this printer.

    I can connect the printer to my Mac book Pro by putting 192.168.1.72 IP address in a web browser, but I get on the symbol bit offline when I print the urge. Last night I reinstalled the printer to print wireless on my mac pro book using a printer cable, which then worked well, but today the same problem reappeared.

    I'm starting to think that the problem may have started with the latest version of the update of the operating system to the Mavericks 10.9.4.

    All thoughts welcome.

    Hi @UKCheshire

    Since you are able to print from the iPad to the wireless printer, I suspect you have to something. I think that the question has something to do with the communication between the printer and the computer and not between the printer and the router. Please use the following document to solve the problem; "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Mac OS X.

    If the problem persists, do not give up hope, let me know and we will work through it together.

  • Wireless printing problem-Documents stuck in print queue

    Original title: printing problem

    Until yesterday, I was able to print OK using Windows XP and a pro HP Officejet 8500 wireless.  Reported network test wireless (on printer) and report indicates that there are no reported problem, also did the diagnostic test and which shows no problem either.  I can't print and documents are just stuck in the print queue - please can someone help, it drives me crazy because it's probably a very simple solution.

    I guess you do not have all of the error messages.

    It is possible that comes to mind that your printer has received a new IP address of your router (this could easily happen if you have several computers and other devices that connect to your wireless network).

    Find the IP address of the printer of his network diagnostic page.
    Click Start > printers and faxes, right-click the printer and select Properties
    Select the Ports tab, then click on the button "Configure Port" (be careful NOT to click anywhere in the list of ports)
    Make sure that the IP address in 'Port settings' is identical to that shown on the diagnosis of your network printer page.

    Although some printers wireless HP install a driver having a box in the "Parameters of the Port" tab that says always "print to this same device if its IP address changes" it is best to configure the printer to have a static IP address.  See your printer User Guide for instructions.

    Choose an appropriate subnet address (i.e., has the first 3 groups of numbers the same as the other addresses in your network) but who is not in the range of addresses assigned by the DHCP server on your router.  See the User Guide of your router for more details.

  • DeskJet 3050 wireless printing

    I am using windows

    Is it possible to print to Deskjet 3050 wireless? No router?

    I wonder if it is possible to print wireless and have the printer to connect wirellessly to the laptop without going through a network (router).

    Currently I can fine prnt using the USB cable, but as for not using USB cable and wireless directly on the printer.

    I downloaded the manual and read it here...

    It supports no special printing, so not, you must use a router or a cable.

    Hello

    Sorry to hear that you are experiencing printing problems.

    You use the functions AirPrint and ePrint? The phone is able to see the printer?

    Things to check would be that the printer and the telephone are always connected to the same wifi network and that there has been no wifi password.

  • DeskJet F4580: Deskjet F4580 wireless connection problem

    I installed my old F4580 on my new HP laptop but you can print using only the USB cable. The printer is also set up on my old computer and works via wifi with no problems. I should add that I had many problems to install this printer on my new HP laptop, but thanks to this forum I found the link to the drivers who eventually worked and managed to install it.

    With the help of HP Support Assistant I checked the driver updates, but he found none, which should mean that I have the latest version.

    Do you have suggestions for me how to fix it?

    Thank you

    Hello @Qala!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I would be happy to provide you with some suggestions which should hopefully solve the problem of printing wireless on the new computer.  If the printer works wirelessly to a computer, then it should work other wireless.  I see that you have all software installed for Windows 8.1 printer but you can't print USB.  It is possible that a firewall in the Windows 8.1 operating system blocks the wireless printer.  This happens occasionally with new systems.

    I recommend to download HP Print and Scan doctor.  With printing and scanning doctor, you can temporarily disable the firewall that may block the printer from the computer.  If the printer is found, you need to turn your firewall on back to make sure that your computer is blocked.

    To download the print and the doctor Scan click here: print and Scan Doctor

    To temporarily turn off the firewall:

    1. Download and open the Print and Scan Doctor
    2. Click on 'Network' at the top of the window
    3. Click on 'firewall troubleshooting. "
    4. Select the firewall and disable

    Launch the software HP again to see if the printer is located.  If the printer is not found, then you want to communicate with your provider of firewall while allowing access to the printer to the computer.

    To turn on the firewall:

    1. Open the print and Scan Doctor
    2. Click on 'Network' at the top of the window
    3. Click on 'firewall troubleshooting. "
    4. Select the firewall and select

    If please, after back and let me know how it goes!

  • Wireless printing problems

    I continually get "off printer" message when it actually works. Lets turn printer and computer or market sometimes, but not always.

    Also the frequent messages "printer offline".  HP 8600 Ofice Pro, computer desk Dell 8700, Windows 8.1, wireless, no bluetooth, no cable connected, wireless high resistance. Lets turn printer and computer or market sometimes, but not always.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Hi Petie3,

    Turning, printer and computer off or will not always solve the problem if your printer is not connected to the wireless network.

    Get a wireless print job in Windows 8, to:

    ) a printer is connected to the same network wireless computers in Windows 8. And

    (b) its IP address is recognized by Windows

    Step 1: make sure that your printer is connected to the same network your computer wireless.

    This information is shown on the printer display panel. If it is connected to the network, the status shows "Connected" and indicating the correct network name (SSID)

    If the status indicates not connected or if the printer's IP address is 169.254.xxx.xxx, the printer is not connected to your wireless network.

    Step 2: restart the print spooler

    Follow this video HP to restart the print spooler for Windows 8. Once your print spooler is restarted, your Windows can detect the IP address of your printer again and you will be able to print again.

    Step 3: optional - static configuration IP address for your printer

    Usually, your printer's IP address is automatically assigned by DHCP. Unless your printer is to have a static IP address, Windows may not recognize that the printer is offline after a change of IP address because of the power of the cycle. If you are comfortable to assign a static for your printer IP address, this should solve the problem.

    Hope this helps.

  • All-in-one HP Photosmart Plus B209a wireless - printer problems

    I plug just this printer 2 weeks ago and there are already problems! A few days ago, I went to print something a TI never printed, so I checkd the queue and it says the printer is offline. I checked and the 'use printer offline' option has NOT been verified. I googled looking for help offline wireless printer and came across some tips to restart the spool.and then unplug and plug back into the printer, so I did and he went online and I was able to print 1 document of 4 pages. But after this document, I tried to print another document, and it said "error-printing" in the queue. So today, after that I restarted my computer, it worked well again - for a document. Then he returned to offline mode. So I watched fo more help online. I tried making sure the correct port with my printers IP address has been verified and he was, and I tried to uninstall and reintalling the drivers that did not help. I basically tried everyting on the HP support on the topic page and nothings worked. But it peprfectly worked well for a week so I don't see why it would be to have these problems now?

    Also, I tried to print a document 2 faces a few days (before the issuance of all offline). I went to the printing preferences, click on 'manual' under duplex print, then ok, and it printed all the odd pages, as it was supposed to. Then the screen came from promting me to take the paper in the output tray and the tray and click on continue so I did. I waited and waited and waited for a good 10 minutes and never even printed pages. In the queue it sad it was printing, but it wasn't. I cancelled the document and just tried to print a document face a regular to see if this works-it printed fine. So I tried printing 2 - against new and it's the same as before.

    The laptop I am I am trying to print from is a Sony Vaio CR320 running on Windows Vista. I have not instaled anything new in the last week, so I know there are no new program interfering. Also, I have not removed any programs.

    Any ideas? I am a student and I am a little lost without a printer lol :/

    OK, time to bring in power tools.  Download, install and run this tool.  He should tell us what is happening.  Run it when the printer shows offline.

    Hello @casia15 and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

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

    First of all, I would say uninstalling the software of the printer.

    Once it is uninstalled, I suggest you put your system in clean boot mode in the configuration of Microsoft.  You can do this by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.

    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest to reinstall the HP printer install wizard for Windows.

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