HP Officejet 4500: HP Officejet 4500 suddenly "not connected" and wants to "fax" while trying to print

After last version 10 of Windows set to update my HP Officejet 4500, which was working fine, now it is "not connected", says or wants to "fax"everything." Can not even uninstall printer to reinstall the drivers. Where should I start to fix this mess?

I managed to successfully uninstall printer with control panel and Device Manager. I then downloaded latest drivers from HP specifically say it's for Windows 10.     support.hp.com/gb-en/product/HP-Officejet-4500-All-in-One-Printer-Series---G5/3919445/model/3919446/drivers I installed and wonderful - printer working properly again. He does not think it is only a fax and print again normally computer. I think the drivers HP takes over again and did not allow 10 Windows run the show and confuse the printer and the computer more!

  • HP deskjet 3050 series suddenly not connected to my computer

    Model number J610a - I installed this a couple of years ago and had been fine up til a few weeks of work (scanner and printer) with wireless connectivity. I use Windows 7 Home Premium

    Firstly, he said that the scanner was not connected and that I needed to download the software. Whenever I tried to do, he tries to download the software but failed. 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.

    My laptop Sony VAIO with Vista will not connect and stay connected to my wireless internet.  All other laptops in the House are perfectly.  Internet disconnects, says local only, then reconnects constantly making internet hard work.

    Hi Tinkerbellfancolorado,

    1. When is this last work fine?
    2. Do you receive an error message or error codes?
    3. Recent changes on the computer?

    There could be several causes for this problem.

    Try starting with these methods.

    Method 1

    Step 1

    1. Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair.
    2. Make sure that all cables are connected (for example, make sure that your modem is connected to a working jack or cable phone connection, either directly or through a router).
    3. Reset your modem and router. Remove the power cord from the modem or router, wait at least 10 seconds, then plug in the modem and/or router back.

    Step 2

    Another reason may be windows disable your network adapter to save power. Turn off the power saving option in the properties of the network (wired network only cards) card:

    1. Open network connections by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then clicking manage network connections.
    2. Right-click on the connection and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. On the Networking tab, click Configure.
    4. On the power management tab, clear the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option, and then click OK.

    Method 2

    Temporarily disable the firewall, and check the status.

    NOTE: To re-enable the firewall after check you the status. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your /firewall antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your request.

    I would ask you to follow the steps below and check.

    While you are on the start screen, type cmd. Right click on cmd.exe returned and select 'run as administrator'.

    Once the command prompt window opens, type the following commands and press ENTER after each:

    net localgroup administrators / add networkservice

    net localgroup administrators / add localservice

    Type exit to close the command prompt window, or simply X starting at the top right.

    Restart computer and check if you still receive the message.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    There is lots of useful information to the Web site of your printer.  In addition, the most important thing you can do is to install the full features software for your printer.  The installation process should help you with the login process.

    General instructions to install the printer software

    • Open drivers HP & downloads
    • Enter your printer model information
    • Select your printer in the list of the 'results '.

    OR

    • Enter your operating system from the menu drop-down
    • Click NEXT and scroll down
    • Find the category driver - software product installation
    • Select the base driver, e-print, or a full features software
    • Save the *.exe installation package (s) on your computer

    The files will probably save in the "folder"downloads. "

    If it is available, you can download print and scan doctor and / or other programs of the category-utilities

    TIP:

    Install the utilities / tools first. bit installation packages are smaller in size

    • If you have control of "Admin", you can highlight the package and "double-click" to install it, otherwise just right-click, select run as administrator and install.

    NOTES:

    •         Look at the bottom half of the main Web page for your printer for helpful videos help with the installation of the printer software!
    •         Scroll through the list of videos back until you find the video that best fits your situation.
    • Connection USB: download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    • Ethernet: connect the printer to the network and (optional) assign the printer IP address to the router. Once the printer is connected to the network, make sure that the printer is on, and then install the printer software.
    • Once the initial installation is complete and functional, check / install category - updated

    There is valuable information about the Web site, including Manual, pages How-to's , Troubleshooting and SOLUTIONS section and alerts and notifications for your printer.  Be sure to take a comprehensive look at what's available.  To bookmark the page.

  • Problem: EA 4500 do not connect one device

    Hello

    I just bought a Linksys EA 4500.

    I configured the wifi properly, with laptops, tablets, smartphones and printer. The WiFi worked fine for a few days.

    But now one of the laptop 'refuses' to see the Linksys wifi network. Other devices are always connected and running regularly.

    The laptop which does not connect is an ACER 5740 DG with an Atheros network card and installed Windows 7. This laptop works well otherwise.

    At first, it connected ok and never had any problems at all with the previous router Belkin_N + _7991AC, I changed just for speed.

    Now the Linksys network is simply not visible for such portable in the 'list available connections' I get by clicking on the WiFi icon at the bottom right, while several other networks wifi (not mine) are clearly visible. Of course, I restarted the laptop properly. For once I had the visibility of the Linksys, I entered the password and then it was not possible to see the network more.

    No Smart WiFi software error message.

    Very unpleasant. Before returning the product to the dealer, I would like to know if there is no solution.

    Thanks and rgds

    Pietro

    I think that since a single computer has stopped working. You can try to change the channel of your router wireless... You can use Channel 9 for network 2.4 Ghz... If that is unsuccessful, check the date of the driver of the laptop; s wireless card coz I think there need updated driver as well... and you can get the latest driver for NIC Ather @ http://www.atheros.cz/

  • HP officejet 6500 e709n NOT connected via usb to a pc running windows xp

    I have a hp officejet 6500 e709n connected via usb to a pc running windows xp.  It has stopped printing.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer software.  Now, when you try to install, I get the screen of "connect your device now' which indicates that the printer is not connected.  I've tried different USB ports on the pc with the same result.  Has anyone else encountered this situation?

    Uninstalled and reinstalled several times and finally got running again.  This can be closed.

    Hello

    You need to connect the printer to a network in order to enable Web Services, those who will not work with a USB connection, such as those that require an internet connection.

    You can follow the steps below to connect the printer to the network and configuration for the ePrint printer:
