HP officejet 6500 has no wireless

I have a new printer, which connects, print, scan and copy via USB with no problems. The reason why I bought this printer was fine for e-print and air print with my iPad. In the box and on the site it is said that it is possible. I followed the instructions, but there is no function to connect to the Internet, no light blue as described in the instructions. Under the menu setup, I clicked on the network, there is no wireless option, only 3 options available, see summary, Advanced Network Configuration and restore the default settings of the network. Under advance Setup, I have only the link speed options and IP settings. Me missing something, is there a wireless switch, I have not yet found? The function of the iPad is essential for me!

Your 6500 IS NOT wireless.

No matter what you do, you will not see because wireless options that there is no interface wireless on this particular model.

Now that you know the problem, your next question - what is the solution?

You cannot switch the printer wirelessly with any card internal etc then here are your options.

1: USB cable to the computer. This is by far the worst of solutions, I will give you, but it works.

(2) connect the printer to the router. It is the most reliable connection method, but is not always convenient depending on the location.

(3) obtain a wireless access point. They are EXPENSIVE - so the solution to this solution is a cheap wireless router which has features WDS (Wireless Distribution System). I use D-Link TL-WR740N for this. There are 2 reasons for this model - it has what it takes, and it's about $35 in most retail stores.

Select the WDS as described in the manual. You don't need to make any changes to your existing wireless router - just browse to your router in the 740N and once it is connected, there is now a wireless access point. Connect an ethernet cable from the router to the printer. The advantage here is that the router and the printer can be on different floors of the main router, so there is no unsightly wiring, and if you want you can just hide the 740N behind the printer, and novbody even know it's there. And let's be honest, if someone said that you had to use a $35 for the printer wireless card, would you miss buy now!

In addition, now you have a router installed remotely to other devices, like a Magic Jack, who, by the way is a great way to get a line number and fax fax for your 6500! Yes, you can fax on it - it's my exact game!

  • Problem with Officejet 6500 has more wireless on my Mac running Lion

    I just got the Officejet 6500 has more. I was able to make it work with my HP PC Windows XP (would not work with the radio, but it's probably a problem with this computer - connected very well with USB). But I don't see the option to add it on my Mac (main computer) running OS Lion. I'm completely updated on Mac software. I see my other printer as usual (also a HP) on Mac.

    Tried to reboot several times. I looked on the HP site to various articles and it seems that I might need to make an update of the firmware on the printer, but when I downloaded the software (on the PC), my printer is gray and so wouldn't let me - or does not need the upgrade. Then. I can't see the printer on the Mac and don't know what else to do. Ideas? Thank you... Is the printer on my wireless network - I can not see the IP address and others.

    I don't really know exactly what I did - added to the printer with its IP address and manually the software (added name - I also had a HP update tonight for the printer software, but that only did nothing), then printing I tried and it still would not work.  I used the adjusted IP address, which I found on the dashboard of Verizon. And for some reason, once I put that in manually on the printer, it remained there, even when in desperation I tried to put it back the "detect network" setting. Sorry - but this is not quite logical or in the order.

    Also, I restarted the router, then the printer. Somewhere among all the things I tried, to my amazement, it finally worked! At first, I saw the IP address as the name of the printer (which I had entered it), and then he asked to be changed to the actual model. I did it and it now seems to work. Here, I could tell exactly what I did, but perhaps in what I wrote, you will get a glow and know WHY it worked?

    I wanted to thank you again for all the time you spent to try and help me get this working. It is really really REALLY appreciated and I definitely click the congratulations for you! Thank you very much!

  • Hi, I have a HP Officejet 6500 has more wireless printer and I get an 0X61011BED error code.

    My printer shows an error 0x6101bed code and when he tries to print is a very loud rattling that lasts about 2-3 seconds until the paper jam error. I looked into the machine, but I don't see any paper stuck anywhere. What could be the problem and how can I solve this problem.

    Hello

    If you think it's from the 'click 'sound, it could be transport associated cartridge.  In particular, as the carriage moves sideways.  Since your printer is only two weeks, if it was me... I would call technical support at 1-800-HPINVENT Center.  That they had additional troubleshooting to try.  In general, the value 0 x error messages have to do with the cartridges and appear on the front panel when printing and resets usually take care of the error message.

  • How to print from my ipad to the officejet 6500 has more?

    I read that there may be something else than necessary. I want to print directly to the Officejet 6500 has more. Apple said ths is an Air Print printer able to do this. I don't take this monster out of the box until I know he will do what I want without a lot of trouble. Thank you.

    OK, so you were talking about requiring the update.  It is difficult to say that all depends on if it came with the new firmware or not.  It is not really relevant, however, because it will be updated as soon as Web Services.  This process takes a few minutes.  There is no computer necessary for the update of the firmware as long as the printer has internet access (which is directly connected to a router via ethernet or wireless).  Yes, a connection ad hoc, you will be able to print from the iPad, but you can use its 3 G connection instead of through your router.  It can only support a single WiFi also.  Go ahead and set up the printer and keep me posted on what happens.

    BTW - what is the problem with your PC that it cannot access the internet?

  • HP Officejet 6500 has more by using a different IP address than before

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 has more. Until yesterday, the printer worked wirelessly with my Mac OS 10.6.8 using the same IP address in IPv4 as the computer. I ran the HP Network Config page and it shows an IP address different today that it did. Is the message that I get when I send a document to print wireless: network host 192.168.1.101 is busy try again in 10 seconds.

    I checked the IP address of the printer and it is 192.168.1.100 (not 101). Therefore, they do not speak with each other. I treated all the solutions that I can find on the HP network to see if I can get the two survey periods to match and nothing seems to work. I turned off, turn off router, off modem, printer is off, turned off computer and lit them all back. No help.

    Any suggestions? Can I print using USB, but it's embarrassing.

    Something doesn't look good - maybe that I misunderstood... You say above, your computer and your printer had the same IPaddress and, when this is the case, you were able to print. Now, the printer and the computer have different IP addresses and now, you are not able to print. If this summary is correct, that then it seems to me that it should be exactly the reverse.

    If the IP addresses were the same, there is a conflict between devices, a bit like a mailman trying to deliver mail to two different locations which have the same addresses... What place receives the mail? It is normal for all network devices have their own unique IP address - how each device gets its own mail... or data packets.

    From the sounds of things, your printer is 100 but the MAC OS think its 101. Therefore, the print job is sent to 101 and never happens at the printer. You have two options... tell the OS that the printer is located at 192.168.1.100 or that, to avoid this problem in the future, on the IP address of the printer a static address, just guessing anything below 100, as 192.168.1.50 and then specify the operating system that the printer is located to 192.168.1.50.

    To make the choice of the latter, you must use your internet browser (Safari) and navigate to the 192.168.1.100 address. There is a web interface for your printer. Look for the network settings, then you can change the way that the IP address is obtained from dynamic (DHCP) static. And, after that, you need to find the IP of 192.168.1.50. It is also important to complete the subnet mask that will be 255.255.255.0. Finally, if your printer includes "web applications", you should also check the DNS addresses. You can use: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (Google's DNS servers) or 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 (OpenDNS servers)

    Note that when you save / apply the changes, you will lose your connection to the webinterface of the printer as the printer will have a new address. To return to the printer web interface, access the new static IP address.

    As far as to say where actually the MAC OS printer, the simplest option, as appropriate, is to use the HP tool to add a network printer or a device. To do this, AFTER you change the IP address. The HP software will scan the network printer and it should give you a result that shows the printer to the new static IP address. Installing and if possible, the name of the printer with a few references of "static HP or the"HPat192.168.1.50"set as default printer and remove the old definition of HP printer.

    The other option to speak the printer MAC must use Add a printer via system preferences > printer/Fax. I'm fairly certain that the MAC tools can analyze the LAN... in any case, it will be a more complicated procedure. Better for a user MAC more warned give assistance if you go this route.

    Hope this helps

    What solution do you propose?

    can we do a completely wireless network with utp cable wireless router? and do a homegroup? and connect the printer with utp?

    is the special designed to accept prints six different cell phones at the same time?

    Thanks for any solution! We need it's really bad!

    With ad-hoc connections, it is really intended more for printing in a pinch without going through the hassle of setting it up on a network.  Or, you have two computers and you have connected it via USB to an and a laptop which is wireless, you can print via ad-hoc of the laptop.

    Honestly, I recommend picking up an affordable standalone wireless router (Netgear, Linksys, etc.) and connect the printer (wireless or Ethernet, does not matter).  From there on, connect the computers on this network and you should be able to install and print without any problems.  You can find the router could be useful beyond just this configuration or may be good to have if you plan to do events like this on a regular basis.

    The printer itself is not a router and communicting with multiple devices simultaneously may create congestion in causing connection problems similar to what you experience when you use ad - hoc for as many devices.

  • Win7 x 64 install an Officejet 6500 has MORE. Cannot print

    Win7 x 64 install an Officejet 6500 has MORE. Printer is connected to the wireless very well. Win7 x 64 computer can ping and see the printer on the network.

    Get a message error everytime I try to print saying: "it cannot connect to the printer.

    Same computer can connect to the printer and to view and modify settings wireless very well.

    I guess it's a problem with Win7 x 64. I need to fix this before to decide to take back to Costco and exchange for the Canon I almost branch instead. HP you have always had driver problems, but still? Really!

    Has taken over the crappy HP. Picked up a Canon PIXMA MX882 instead. Impeccable installation, in 10 min I'm printing, scanning, fax wireless with not a single question.

    I am VERY disappointed with HP and its incompatibility with Win7 x 64 drivers. Don't advertise your crap software is compatible, when it is not! I lost hours of my personal time, trying to get HP to work then most of time taking the piece of crap back (I really like the hardware of the printer - software "guys really?"). I will never buy another HP printer. And on the Canon Wireless Setup was easier. A button called easy set up on top of the printer and BAM done. * beep * HP, * beep * indeed.
