HP officejet 6500 hangs on "attempts to connect...". »

the printer works great on a 2wire ATT dSL modem.

I went to you verse and got a 3600HGV

While all my computers, phones, etc. connect very well, the printer is having problems.

1. the router is WPA - psk (TKIP) and wpa2-psk (AES)

2. password is on the default factory value, that is a random series of _all digit_ model

3. wireless channel is automatic and 8 currently.

Problem;

1. when I use the wizard, after you enter the password for the printer hangs forever, it's just "trying to connect... ». I have to pull to get by.

2. when I use the manual configuration, I get after a long time the message "invalid key WPA.

-I tried to two default values for the network of food and tools, the default values. no change.

Thank you

UPDATE: I followed the solution selected below. However, I believe that the solution is the fact that I changed the password to be a custom instead of the long unit numbers only pswd. Maybe the HP printer cannot handle a long string of digits, not sure.

Hi csmba,.

This seems to be a possible problem where the printer is put on hold due to a failure of communication with the new router. I suggest setting the channel 11 and then set up a new password for the wireless. Once you have changes, you may want to reset the default settings of network on the printer and then restart all devices in the following order.

1. turn off the router

2. turn off the printer

3 switch on the router

4. turn on the printer

Once all devices have been reset try to make a wireless connection to the router with the Wireless Setup Wizard in the printer. Let me know what you find?

HP has designed a quick and easy tool that diagnoses and solves many problems of printing, scanning and connectivity: The HP Print and Scan doctor. HP recommend you to download and install Print and scan doctor no matter what time you need to solve a problem with your HP printer from the link below.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a more impossible to connect to the server

    My HP Officejet 6500 a more printer was connected to my wireless network and was attached to the ePrint service; and I had an email address to send prints to my printer. But today, when I go to the ePrint, it shows that my printer is NOT connected to the SERVER!

And, when I do that, it shows me: "you can connect the printer to the itenrnet through a proxy server and touch the ENTER PROXY button! I do not know what Proxy Server, he is asked? And when I get soemthing, it then asks a PORT number! Still, I don't know what is the Port! My printer is still connected to my home wireless network.

    Then I went back to HP ePrintCenter page and REMOVED my printer and then tried to ADD a printer, but, now, he asks me to "enter the printing Code.

    When I tried to enter the print code I had on the file, it says that the code was not valid; the codes are ONLY good for 24 hours, and I have to get a new printing code to return to the configuration of the printer menu steps described above!

    Looks like I'm stuck in a vicious circle.

    To correct the unable to connect to a web server error. I'd start by power cycling the router and the printer. If still we get the error that I will then try to put a static DNS server built-in web printer (EWS).

    To power cycle the router:

    1. unplug the router (most do not have a power button) and then put
    the printer off using the power button
    2. wait 30 seconds
    3 plug in the router, wait until it is completely upward and the operation.
    4 turn on printer
    5. after the printer is completely top and operational reattempt to connect to web services

    If after that, you still get the error message, I had put the static DNS. To do this:
    1 get the IP address of the printer, and then make a browser (IE, Chrome, any browser you want) and enter
    IP address of the printer in the address bar. This will bring up the SEWS
    2. search for the network titled tab and click on it
    3. then click on IPv4 in the left column, wired / wireless depend on the connection, if connected by Ethernet
    Choose wired, wireless select wireless

  • HP Officejet 6500 hangs DNS on the router

    Hello, I have an Officejet 6500 wireless printer.

    Connected wireless Netgear router/switch/point of access.

    Vai Comcast Internet. Linksys cable modem.

    Set up the 6500 and everything worked very well at least a year.  Then, our Internet connection * appeard * failure on a regular basis, i.e. nobody could get websites since a browser (more information on the * appeard * in a moment).  Reset the router & modem should solve the problem for a while, then it would happen again.  This was once a month, but he came to the point where this happens several times a day.  Comcast, I called several times, they said that there is nothing wrong on their side.  I say Internet * appeard * to fail, because I dug into the problem, it became clear that I * could * access the Internet, also a long time I used IP base10, no name.  In addition, if a name/IP were still cached in a box I could go to this site.  I checked the config of the router and all the data is correct DNS.  PING of DNS servers is OK.  Yet, the only way to solve the problem is to reboot the router.  Thinking that the problem was in the router, I bought a new.  Also bought a new cable modem.  This changes nothing :-(.

    Finally, I followed the source of the problem in the HP Officejet 6500.  By chance one day I restart the printer and DNS services, ignored, because the printer was the starter.  It is completely reproducible.  DNS works very well and turn the printer off, DNS still works well, turn on the printer, DNS fails.  EVERY TIME.  I tried this * two * wireless and wired network connection.  The same problem.  I installed the latest SW on the printer.  I installed the latest SW on the router.  I installed the latest on computer SW/drivers (although this does not appear to be part of the problem).  None of this makes no difference.

    I am at my witts end.  someone out there has a suggestion?   I started to wonder if it's a problem of HW/default.

    Thanks for any help!

    Chris

    That seems like a strange question.  I don't know how the printer would be causing this problem.

    The printer can be set to use a completely different set of DNS servers that bypasses the regular DNS routers.

    Try to set an IP and static DNS address by following step 5 of this document from HP.  The only setting I recommend the change to the document is the DNS servers.  Use the servers Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4) the printer to stop sending DNS queries to the DNS servers of the ISP.

    This should force the modem/router to handle DNS queries to the printer as standard Internet applications.  If the printer is really at fault, it should stop it.

    A few ideas

    If you have not done for awhile, you may download and install a new copy of the software full functionality.  Reference: install the full features software - printer

    If the printer is located where you can do so, you could try a wired connection to the router.

    You could try the printer of the assign a static IP address.

    Make sure that there is at least 1 meter / 3 feet between the printer and all wireless devices you want to connect.  Too much is as bad as too far away...

    Paw through all ideas / suggestions / information in the exceptional User Guide of this printer - network setup Section starting on Page 222.

    Try to use as not only a static IP address, but also a hard to connect to your ISP DNS information.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

  • CTCE Officejet 6500 Fax Modem connection has more

    ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

    HP 6500 Officjet has more.  Time Warner Cable installed a telephone modem TWC eMTA and split the line of incoming telephone into the wall jack, while retaining the original outlet in Officejet 6500 has more connection as indicated in the manual of HP.

    However, he then disconnected the connection back to Officejet 6500 has more to the telephone base unit, even if the installation HP statement indicates the connection shall be connected directly to the telephone receiver.

    The technician then connected the TWC eMTA modem to the second part of the splitter to the wall outlet.  The phone works perfectly, but in the race a fax test fails a tone detection.

    The fax test print States to remove the splitter and connect the fax directly to the wall socket, but remove the separator is not an option, as there is no connection to the eMTA TWC telephony modem.   The manual mentions also using a digital-analog filter or converter, like the Officejet requires an analog connection.

    My understanding is that the reason for the direct connection from the HP device to the telephone receiver allows the fax listening to the phone line for a tone and a fax signal and respond to the line after 6 rings and to send a fax.

    Don't attempt to send a fax test fax test HP 'No Answer' number statements, which means that the Officejet had no dial tone.

    Suggestions for connections that operate, or what analog digital filter or converter to use, would be appreciated, like TWC has no solution.

    I thought I had solved this case myself by disconnecting all connections made by this technology TWC and followed the manual of HP.  I started with the newly installed separator and reconnected the separator to the input line of the OfficeJet and connected the output of the OfficeJet directly to the phone base unit.  To get the connection telephony TWC, I connected a second line of the second take of the splitter modem telephony TWC (the latter which is connected to the TWC cable output).  Problem solved: NO - Fax tone, a tone phone and yells, but none of the calls incoming.  To get the incoming phone calls, had to disconnect the line from the phone base unit and reconnect the unit on base of telephone modem telephony TWC by result, incoming and outgoing calls, but not the Officejet, so no fax tone.

    =================================
    I am not employed by H - P & I do not look for congratulations, fair solutions.

    Gemini02: Thanks a lot for your attempt to help.  It turns out that he didn't need an analog filter or a converter.

    'Knowledge-information technology-better than you' technology contract for Time Warner Cable didn't know what he was doing in a first step in dealing with the HP Officejet, or much else, as his only totally disconnected from the Officejet actions.

    First of all, to the phone outlet, where the incoming landline connected initially to the Officejet, he installed a useless Dispatcher and reconnected the Officejet to it (a line now dead).  The connection to the Officejet was to be performed to a modem (direct line), Time Warner phone instead.  All of the remaining connections should have been left as they were.  Instead, this tech then connected the telephone base unit Panasonic TWC telephony modem (where a live telephone connection) and the outgoing line of Officejet to the second connection on the split bar newly installed (a deadline) and therefore no dial don't tone for the Officejet.

    As I had no idea about the operation of the outlet now amended, there had me time again unplug everything and realize that the incoming connection was not this splitter connected outlet and , but in fact the modem telephony. TWC

    Connected the Officejet directly to the modem telephony TWC, culminating in the Officejet tone.   The outgoing line the Officjet directly linking to the Panasonic phone plant, leading to the tone at the telephone base unit.  Sent a fax requesting a return fax, resulting in 4 traffic lights and answering machine pickup, and after 6 rings, received a fax.  The splitter is unplugged from the wall dead and thrown in the trash.  The problem is finally solved.

    Thanks again for all the responses.

  • How to connect to the HP Officejet 6500 wireless printer

    I recently bought the printer portable officejet 6500 from costco. Initially, I have it connected via a USB port on my laptop and follow the instructions in the CD. I also activated the wireless to the printer. Now, I'm trying to connect to the printer from my office laptop. I have not installed anything on my office laptop.

  • OfficeJet Pro 6830 hangs when it is connected to the network

    I just pick up a Pro OfficeJet 6830. I installed the ink cartridges and it seems to be able to print copies and test pages, but I can't seem to connect to my network. Here is what I tried:

    Using the Wireless Setup Wizard

    I selected my network in the list and entered my WPA key. It says it tries to connect, then the following occurs:

    1 briefly press (for less than one second), a screen will appear showing that it has successfully connected to the network.

    2. Press briefly (for less than a second) the screen flashes blue with an icon of 'power' and 'B8B2A4F8' text (which I assume is an error code).

    3. the screen display changes to "printer error: there is a problem with the printer.» "Turn the printer off, then on.

    4. after restarting the printer, he complains that he has not been arrested properly.

    Any other attempt to connect gives the same results.

    Ethernet connection

    If I turn on the printer when connected via Ethernet cable to my network, after about 10 seconds it crashes as described above (steps 2 and 3) without doing me anything at all.

    I also tried a "Hard Reset" (i.e. unplug the printer for 60 seconds, and then it turning it back on again). This made no difference whatsoever.

    I managed to get it to connect to a WiFi hotspot on my laptop (and I checked the firmware updates, but unfortunately there is none available), it seems that there is something of my network that do not have the printer. I have no idea what this could be, however. Someone at - it ideas?

    It solved!

    I spent a bit of time on the phone with HP tech support and the guy could not actually solve the problem for me but it helped prove that the hardware network printer works OK. I could connect the printer directly to my PC via Ethernet, then ping and access the built-in web server.

    It occurred to me that perhaps the problem was related to DHCP, because the printer broke immediately after the connection to the network. My router is an Asus RT-N66u with custom firmware (version Asuswrt-Merlin 376.48_3) and I could see the router newspaper that he was sending a DHCP acknowledgement to the printer just before he died.

    So, here is what I did to solve the problem:

    1 turn off the DHCP server on the router.

    2. on the printer, operated the network icon on the homescreen (at the Middle bottom) wireless.

    3 typed down "gear" icon to the left (settings).

    4 typed "wireless settings".

    5 typed "Assistant wireless configuration".

    6 selected my wireless network and entered the WPA key. This time, no crash, but he did not get an IP address assigned (obviously).

    7. back in 'Wireless Settings', I typed in 'advanced settings '.

    8 typed 'IP Settings'.

    9. tapped "manual (static).

    10. enter in the details for my network - yours will probably be different, but I entered in what follows:

    IP address: 192.168.002.201 (I chose this because it is outside the range of addresses, the router for DHCP problems).

    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

    Default gateway: 192.168.002.001

    DNS address: 192.168.002.001

    11 hit 'apply '.

    12 re-enabled the DHCP server on my router.

    And now it works!
