    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.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: My printer cannot connect to the wireless network (SSID is not found)

    Hello

    I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer that is configured to print using the USB cable, and I have no problem printing through it. I just bought a router (D-link DWR116) and I'm trying to set up the connection to the router wireless to my printer. When I use the printer setup & software and select the option "convert a connected USB printer wireless", I can choose to enter into the setting of the printer access the router automatically or manually. These two will come with the same problem where the program is my name SSID of the router successfully but then failed to connect to what the SSID is not found.

    It comes on it comes up with the error message:

    Question: You have manually entered the name of the network (SSID) cannot be found.
    Solution: Check that your wireless router is powered. When to manually enter the name of your network (SSID), make sure you enter exactly including upper and lower case and spaces.
    ============================================================================================

    Which is meaningless because it came with the SSID earlier and I chose what options the wireless network available. I tried to manually enter the SSID, but after entering the password for the router, the same error message appears.

    Help, please.

    Thank you

    In fact, I solved the problem. Something about the wifi light on the printer. It can not be flashing, I don't know what the blue light flashes on the wofo of the printer, but I don't think that it means that the wifi is on.

  • HP DESKJET INK ADVANTAGE 1515: To connect the HP DESKJET INK ADVANTAGE 1515 printer device to multiple computers.

    Mr President, I have HP DESKJET INK ADVANTAGE 1515 PRINTER I want to connect to my two computers with all FIRST Windows XP and the second having Windows 7 operating systems. Kindly help me to do this in detail...  THANKS IN ADVANCE

    What's your plan for the connection?   It is a USB printer only, no network connection.  You can connect to a computer and then enable Microsoft File and print sharing on both computers.   Or if your router has a USB port that supports printers CAN operate when connected there.

    Those are your options.

  • DeskJet 4645: New printer connected but do not print (without wireless or USB)

    Hi, I recently bought an HP deskjet printer advanced 4645... I had an old Officejet... So, I just installed with the new printer, everything connected and implemented. It is on the wireless network and communicates properly with the Internet. It fits on my computer and watch when it is offline or online and I can view on computer ink levels, so he communicates with her (same model scanning worked...). The ePrint (by e-mail) works and AirPrinting of an iPad in the works...

    BUT it won't print from the computer... Not at all... I reinstalled the program several times (app HP doctor suggested this), I swapped the printer where I bought it thinking it was a dud, I tried to connect via the USB cable... Nothing... Help, please

    Hi, I installed the driver full and tried everything... I ended up buying an officejet thinking that it was the deskjet sends me problems...

    BUT it still does not... I then found a place where you uninstall drivers conpletely (not in the Panel @ devices...)

    It is in devices and printers (Panel)
    Select a printer and then on the top of the page, click the tab saying "Server Properties".
    Then select the driver you want to uninstall
    Click on delete

  • HP Deskjet F4240 all-in-one: tried to install F4240 printer on my new windows 7 Professional, says it is not supported?

    I was wondering if I should get a new printer or can I still use my old F4240 on my new computer laptop that has Windows 7 Professional?  When installing DVD, he tells me that it is not supported.

    Appreciate any help you can give me.

    The Deskjet F4240 is supported in WIndows 7.  It is possible that the DVD you have was released before Windows 7.  You can download the complete driver recommended from HP here.

    The wizzard running install driver to http://www.hp.com/go/tools would also be an option.

    Hi - I have a HP Elitebook6930P running Windows 7 Ultimate x 64 and a printer HP Deskjet 970Cxi with a USB connection.

    I try to get printing to work.

    There is a 970Cxi pilot in the laptop, but it won't work.

    HP have a support document - "HP printers - installing year Alternate Print Driver in Windows 7 for a USB connection cable" - and I tried to follow this exactly a number of times without success.

    The problem is that it is inaccurate and contains instructions that do not work and refers to procedures that do not exist in Windows 7.

    Therefore, I have no success in the conclusion. I can not communicate with HP for assistance, or no explanation as to why their document will not so blatant.

  • HP Deskjet 3055 A does not connect to the WIFI with security

    I'm trying to configure a Deskjet 3055 A on my DD - WRT router.  I am a highly qualified network engineer, so I don't know 100% what I'm doing.

    First, DD - WRT supports WPS connection, because these are very precarious.  This means that my only way to connect the pritner to my home network is to connect to my PC and use the Setup utility (downloaded from your page drivers) I use the 28.8 version.

    My router supports the 2.4 and 5 GHz and I know the printer is only 2.4 GHz.  I disabled completely the 5 GHz network in order to connect the printer, even though it shouldn't have any effect.

    I restarted my router and reset the printers wireless network using its integrated control panel.

    In any case, after a shameful 2 hours troubleshooting, I did discover that the printer WILL NOT CONNECT to the WIFI network if any security is applied against it.  It works 100% fine with open security however, it is totally unacceptable.

    I tried both WPA Personal and WPA2 Personal, both with the same effect.

    For reasons to try, I added also the printer to my network WIFI open and tried to manually change the setting WIFI via webinterface of printers, however, whenever I try and access the wireless configuration wizard, I simply get an error message saying "Internal system error" - eventually I managed to work around this another bug that has been there for years (see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Internal-System-Error-prevents-access-t...

    After installing printers web interface WIFI, the problem is always the same and it does not connect.

    HP, we were in the order of 2500 of these printers for users of our remote site.  If you don't come to the top with a quick solution/bug fixed, consider the lost business!

    Concerning

    Ian

    After playing well, I managed to find a solution for this!

    For all users who are unable to find a solution by using the other methods, here's what to do.

    Change your local network to open the safe but note your WIFI settings for your default installation.

    Connect the printer to the open network the HP software (via USB cable)

    Go to the URL of the printer, but make sure that you connect through HTTPS - if you get an internal system error, keep refreshing until it works (WHAT A JOKE!)

    Click on 'Network', then click 'Advanced' on the left.

    Enter the network settings as they need to be secured.

    Downstairs, check "in an infrastructure network, use 802. 11b / g behavior (assuming that your assisted supports g, otherwise use the b only option), then click on apply.

    Turn on your wireless security, on your router and then the printer should connect!

    I am really confused as to why this is not automatically enabled, if the printer is not working with security on a Wireless N network wireless, then have this as the default!

    HP - feel free to thank me in this post!

  • HP Deskjet F4240: ink runs and bleeds through stock paper and card

    When I try to print maps of visit or letters with my new Deskjet F4240, ink runs and bleeds through the paper or card stock.  Exit impossible to give my clients because it looks cheap and unprofessional.  I think the problem is the Vivera Ink because I not had this problem in the past using the same paper and paper thick, both with HP printers and other brands of printers and is the first printer I've owned that uses the Vivera Ink.  Are there replacement cartridges that can be used, or what I need to replace the printer by one that doesn't use Vivera Ink?  Thank you.

    If the ink is bleeding in the paper stock or card that it would indicate the driver settings do not match the paper type.  Make sure you select plain paper inkjet media according to the type of paper you have.  If you use apper photo settings on plain paper, you will get too much ink on the page.

    Kind regards
