HP Officejet Pro 8100 - AirPrint - wireless

My HP Officejet Pro 8100 worked very well with AirPrint, but then I changed my wireless router and I forgot how the printer was set up originally.

I use the 8100 with my apple iPhone 4s, it is not connected to any computer and I don't know that it was never connected to any computer when I installed it initially.

Question is: how put it all again from scratch? There is no "set up" screen on the printer, so how do we?

I 'know' the printer must 'connect' to my wireless router, but how to do without a connected computer?

My router is a Homehub4 of BT, and it works very well with my iPhone and ipad.

Thanks in advance for the advice - I looked for info, but everything seems to indicate that needed a computer connected physically but I am sure that this was not originally the case - just turn on and AirPlay has worked!

Maybe I need to uninstall "somehow" airplay on my iPhone?

Help!

No! I said that originally - no PC.

BUT, BE, under the impetus for me to try again and this time, keeping my finger on the blue WiFi button and the power button at the SAME TIME and now it during (what seemed like an age) the connection has been made! Finally, I can print!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100: Problem with airprint

    Our printer is officejet pro 8100. My iOS is 9.3.2 but not sure about the version of the printer. The first time we buy there worked with Apple airprint. Lately, we can't use airprint more which is very uncomfortable. EPrint still works well, however, we do not normally use it. We tried all possible solutions. The device can see the printer but when we choose the printer it disappears from the list. What should we do?

  • Disable wireless on Officejet Pro 8100

  • How to connect the Officejet Pro 8100 printer to wireless network

    Bought a "nine" Officejet Pro 8100 and want to use via my wireless network. The CD supplied with the printer is obsolete. Updated Apple software but can't see how to connect the printer to the network. Getting Started Guide is no help on this issue. Searched for support without result pages. Utility HP does not provide a method to set up a wireless feature. Find all the instructions, I say first of all make sure that the printer is connected to the wireless network, and that's what I can't find out how. What I forget?

    Finally, I called HP hotline for help and was rescued. It turns out that Apple's software update software includes all the required components. The software from the HP Web site is no longer available. It's frustrating to see the Getting Started Guide refer frequently to the HP installation wizard and be unable to locate it. Once the wizard tech took control of my computer and installed the necessary software, it was a breeze!

    I also note that compose the support number to talk with a guy was rather brief: between 1 and 2 minutes, I recall. Although there was a menu of the phone, it was not a large (unlike the attempt labyrinthine and often circular to locate the online help).

    Insofar as HP knows the necessary software in not available via software update or directly from HP, wouldn't make sense to inform buyers, as well as how to access? At least do not place meaningless, useless on the Web site links that lead into oblivion and frustration!

    Although I did appreciate the journey, I finally arrive at my destination. Thanks to Aris, HP technician. You are exceptional!

    This new router has two differnet built-in radio. You must ensure that you connect to the printer the correct SSID name for 2.4 GHZ radio. If you have both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHZ configured with the same SSID, you chnange the SSIP mame which should allow you to connect to the printer. Follow the steps outlined in the document below.

  • More than a printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8100

    Hello

    I need to buy two printers wireless to use with an iPad.

    But the thing is: if I install TWO identical HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 under the same wifi network, how can I know that I want to print? In other words, my concern is that when I want to print a document using the iPad it will show two printers, but both with the name "HP OfficeJet Pro 8100". Having in mind that each printer is located away from each other in my house, I need to print under the right printer.

    Is it possible to change the name that appears on AirPrint so I can distinguish the two printers? Something like "Printer-Studio" and "printer-bedroom"? Or something that works somehow...

    Thank you.

    Pedrosacelso,

    It is possible to change the name of the printer, many customers buy more than one printer to a desktop environment and need to change the printer name to identify the printer.

    If you have problems with the above steps back on the support forums.

  • HP Officejet pro 8100 cannot wifi access point?

    Yesterday, my HP Officejet pro 8100 arrived and I try to connect via wifi. I thought that it need access to infrastructure to print via wifi.

    When I turned on the printer I osserved that he create a stand-alone gateway with SSID: HP-Setup-7 a-Officejet Pro with IPv4 server address, etc...

    I was very happy and I printed a page with my smartphone samsung s4 directly connected printer access point (no wifi direct wifi except standard).

    Has been held today has changed, but I can't use printer with its own point of access, but only with an external wifi access point.

    Can someone help me, please? It could be a hardware problem?

    Thank you

    Luca

    P.S. to the webserver I checked 'connectivity point of access' (di accesso instradamento wireless in Italian Punto) is checked.

    Hello lucait

    You are right that the Hp Officejet PRo 8100 is a single function printer which does not directly optional wireless. You can always do what you want to do, but you will need a router to connect the printer to a network, and from there you can use the network routers or set up the feature ePrint for your portable devices.

    I hope this solves your post. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. It has been a pleasure. Have a great day!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100: Can not find the driver for the Officejet Pro 8100 online

    I've recently updated to Win10 (the free update, I do not know how many bits). I also then changed my wireless carrier. Now my laptop is not connecting to the new hub, and it seems that there is no driver more - so I don't know if these changes are the problem, or one of them.

    I tried to install a new driver and I first started the process, but the printer not print report pages, and then the laptop don't would not recognize the USB cable, even though it had been plugged in all the time. I tried to remove the cable and reinsert; also turning the printer market, but cela did not work.

    I also have Virgin and with them her reset the hub, but the hub still not connect to the printer.

    Now when I go to the page of drivers hp and it identifies my product, it then tells me there is no drivers for this printer now, and I should come back later in case they are developing.

    I can't believe that this is true. Can you please give me a link to a page where I can find and install the driver?

    May also explain why the cable USB is not recognized?

    Thank you.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8100: change the ssid

    I recently tried the Hotspot to unite AT & T.  That has worked very well but not decided to take it and went back to my Airport base station and the old service provider.  When I tried to connect my printer to my network - a printer works fine but the HP Officejet Pro 8100 will not change back the Name (SSID) the name for the old SSID hotspot network.  Since I was a new AirBook Pro I have to connect the cable to a USB port and then run the utility for my printer and select network.  It does not connect.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your suggestion. I tried this many times and it would be not just to reset the ssid. So after writing my post, I tried pressing the wireless button and the on/off switch at the same time. I went to try out some other combinations and print the configuration page. He changed the ssid for the correct name. Of course then I had to do what you described. Go to the printer utility with the cable connecting the computer and the printer and click on network. It has finally connected and I unplugged the cable between the computer and the printer. No problems now. Thanks for responding so quickly and hope it helps someone else.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8100: HP Officejet 8100 N811a - network connection is not possible

    Hello community,

    I have a pretty standard network with 3 points of access, WPA - PSK authentication, TKIP/AES encryption, running on channels 1-11. I made the MAC filtering is off and DHCP is on.

    The printer connects to the network, or via the software of HP Doc or the EWS settings.

    It's however possible to connect the city nearby networks so I must be overlooking something.

    After that under the HP Doc and he's trying to set up the printer I just get an exemption from the unknown error.

    The printer prints fine when connected by cable.

    The Network Configuration after the eroor HP Doc said

    Wireless on : Pass
    Wireless Working : Pass
    
    Connected : Not Run
    
    Network Name Found : Pass
    
    Printer Settings Consistent : Not Run
    No Filtering : Not Run
    Channel : Not Run
    Security : FAIL
    
    And in the Configuration it lists the SSID but IP Adress states : not applicable
    

    Ideas?

    Hi @NK10,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that you are unable to connect wirelessly with your HP Officejet Pro 8100 printer. I will definitely do my best to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and mark "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    I see that you mentioned that you have "3 APs, authentication WPA - PSK, AES/TKIP encryption, running on channels 1-11 I made sure MAC filtering is off and DHCP is on. »

    First, I'll assume means AP access point.

    • WPA2-PSK (TKIP) WPA2-PSK (AES) and WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) are all different encryption options. Which one do you use?
    • Do not use more than one type of encryption at the same time, what access points help.
    • The router is connected to one channel at a time, not 1 to 11. What channel are you on?
    • DHCP should only be enabled on the router and disabled on each access point.

    Looks like the access points are configured incorrectly. They should have the same type of encryption and be on the same channel as the router. If the printer works well on the wired connection the wireless network configuration is causing a conflict.

    Tips for a successful wireless connection:

    • Using a unique network name (SSID).
    • Make sure you have 802.11 g active.
    • The printer cannot connect to the 5.0 GHz network. If you have a double router broadband, the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz network names are not the same. Rename the 5.0 GHz network.
    • Don't hide your SSID (network name).
    • Change the router channel fixed wireless as the 1, 6 or 11, who less than traffic.
    • You have a switch?
    • Do not use a network of comments (SSID).
    • Disable UPnP on the router.
    • Set the router to 20 Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on the router.
    • Update the firmware on the router.

    For troubleshooting purposes, follow these steps:

    1. Disable all access points.
    2. Connect the printer to the router wirelessly.
    3. Test print.

    If the printer works fine wireless connected access points, you must reconfigure the access points correctly. HP does not support the networks with access point, additional router or switch, etc. The complexity of the configuration.

    For more information, see print wireless Center.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8100 does not recognize the new router

    I saw this question for other printers, so I hope that there is a response to mine.  I just upgraded the speed of my internet service which involved a new router.  We made sure all the computers in the House worked with her, but I forgot to try the printer before the technician left.  Now my computer thinks printer Officejet Pro 8100 is offline (turned off) and the blue light on the printer blinks.  How can I get the printer to recognize the new router?  I guess I have to add that I do not know where to find the code of the intellectual property that is asked for when I go to the start menu, the HP folder, select my printer, etc.  He said: push the button on my printer wireless, so I push button blue flashing light but that does not produce a number.  Help appreciated!    It's an ATT router and I have the WiFi network name and wireless password.

    I would like to connect 2 computers to the 1 officejet pro 8100. a computer uses Windows 7 as the operating system and the other computer is using LINUX. I have the Dell laptop using windows and is connected to the wireless printer and works great. I want to connect it to the computer of the INLAND ECDIS with LINUX using the USB connection. The ECDIS system is a stand-alone system that can be connected to a wireless or Internet System. (according to the guidelines of the USCG and the right international). I expected to get help from hp, but that was not possible. I hope that this forum will help. Thank you.

    Hi @Sailor_Bob,

    The printer is able to be connected wireless to several machines and USB to a computer at the same time.

    I mentioned in my previous post "as long as HP has a suitable driver for your version of Linux, it should work fine."

    This Linux machine running FURUNO is not in the list of supported operating systems, this is why you are having problems.

    Hope that answers your question. Thank you for posting!

    Hello

    As a complete software functionality is not currently available to 10.9, it is impossible to set up the connection through the HP software.

    Temporarily connect the Paul to your Mac with an Ethernet cable.

    Open Safari and then open the menu Hello

    Note: If it is not displayed, click Safary > preferences. Open the Advanced tab and failure of the box next the two options bodice and click OK.

    Hello a click in the main menu, open the printer EWS by double clicking on the name of the printer.

    Open the network tab, under wireless, follow the Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the steps to connect to your network.

    Once you disconnect the Ethernet cable, go to Printers & Scanners and add the printer by clicking on the sign more.
