HP Officejet Pro 8100: unable to operate a printer wireless with new router

• HP officejet pro 8100 not review or color printing.

  My 8100 Officejet Pro won't recognize color when you try to print from my pictures in Windows 8.1. I've done all the checks... ok of ink, grayscale printing is turned off, blackonly is disabled, deleted the program and resarted from scratch with disc supplied. The computer brand new from Chillblast and is very fast and up-to-date. All inks are new and full.

  It will print documents, pdf, etc, but I can't 'see' colors in my pictures, all the previews and print out black and white.

  The only thing is that I don't know what, if any, changes may be required in the part "Color management" Settings Advanced... any advice... Thank you.

  I just checked the download site pilot official HP and wireddrivers.com site and noticed that the number of driver for my printer Officejet Pro 8100 has changed!

  It was OJ8100_1321.exe... It is now OJ8100_1321 - 1.exe.

  I downloaded this driver and all is well in my world printer!

  I don't know if that was my question on this forum or my contacts a Microsoft technician, (which was useless and kept asking me to do things that I refused to do what I explained that I had already tried), but in any case, someone realized there is a software problem in the pilot and fixed.

  I will now post this as resolved to help someone else who search... Regards Kevin.

• How can I change the name of my HP OfficeJet Pro 8100, which is a network printer?

  My employer asked if I could change the name of one of our network printers, so it could easily say that it is the choice of location of printers.  I opened the printer from the control panel and choose Customize your printer, general.  I changed the name in the box. After I did it, the printer was grey in the control panel and I got a message saying something about checking the name on the network.  What should do besides changing the name in the box in general?

  LottaLatte,

  Welcome to the HP Forum.

  One of the dangers of changing the names of "stuff" is that sometimes, this 'trick' is the actual program or a link to a real program that the computer must follow.  Next thing you know, the computer lost track of the program used for - print, get on the network, or make a conference call.

  An easy option and one that usually works is the following:

  No matter when you want to rename an icon, or customize a program, or do something that can change the way a program - works first of all make a shortcut to the program and then change the shortcut.

  Example:

  Control Panel > set display icon > devices and printers >

  Scroll to the bottom for printers >

  Right click on the Active printer (HP PhotoSmart 8200 series) > select Create shortcut *.

  * Text may vary according to the type of action - you can select "Send to desktop" to create certain types of shortcuts

  The action creates a shortcut on the desktop

  Next:

  Right-click on the shortcut > properties > general tab >

  Replace the name with any text you prefer

  

  

  If the person for whom you are making the shortcut wishes, you can move or copy the shortcut in a folder, instead of the icon on the desktop.

• 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: Lost my printer drivers (after a Windows 10 update)!

  Hello

  After the recent Windows 10 updates (one installed on Christmas day), I lost my (custom installed) to the printer drivers. No big deal I thought, ONLY MIcrosoft MOST inconvienience - I'll reinstall just them. But when I open the properties of the printer Panel, I found that ALL ADVANCED TAB where I needed access to reinstall drivers is now GRAY and completely unaccessable! I not only lost my custom drivers, I also lost my second tray of the printer (installed optionally) capacity! YES, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

  Now I need help to reinstall (they gave me specific instructions for installation, so I won't bumble worse trying to install them differently (as a regular driver) without confirmation first.)
  This is a PERFECT EXAMPLE of why we should be allowed to choose for outselves when and what updates to install on OUR computer! I checked the Windows Update history and there is NOTHING there that would strike even he would have had to change printer drivers, nor I anthing that would affect them being changed (for example, allowing control HP from my PC to automatically updated drivers), but clearly something changted them.

  What I HAD... I use a printer Officejet Pro 8100 bought two years ago February next with the option second tray of the installed printer. I also use Officejet 8600 drivers in order to be able to print my graphic files properly (these drivers were recommended on this forum once I have posted having problems printing after the first installation. These drivers worked PERFECTLY in all of my PC (running Windows XP, 8.1, and 10), but now with the missing options, everytting is printing through the upper status bar (where I have a THICK paper). I don't have the ability to choose which try to print (Tray 1 or 2), and I need to change paper whenever I want to print on different paper (I always had a THICK paper on top (Tray 1) and plain paper in the lower part (tray 2) because it would not print thick paper from the tray at the bottom.

  To use the 8600 drivers, I was given specific instructions (on this forum) on install in the section "NEW DRIVER" of the ADVANCED TAB in the properties of the printer. Now that I don't have access to this tab, I need to know if there is a way to access new (my preferred method) OR another way to install (for example just install them as if I would install the printer (8600))?

  It's free enough explainatory tab FULL area is GRAYED OUT, but in case there are any doubts, I have attached is a screenshot showing what he looks like.

  I apprecate any help you could offer.

  Kind regards... Chugbug

  

  OK, now it's really WEID!

  I tried during the last 24 hours to get to the Panel in question, including the restart of Windows at least half a dozen times without success.  But now tonight after that I dug around the different tabs, once again, INCLUDING clicking on through security and permissions panels (but not to make changes) AND for posting my question here, all in the advanced Panel was suddenly accessible once more!

  I reinstalled my 8600 drivers again, then reset my printing (default) preferences (paper 2 / plain plateau), and everything is good again (kumbaya...)!

  Good thing, I took a screenshot of it (grey) or I can't believe myself!

  Happy holidays!  Chugbug

• Re: HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone, but not from my windows laptop

• 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!

• 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!

• OfficeJet Pro 8100 - new router - can't connect wireless

  Have an Officejet Pro 8100

  Has been configured on my home network for the USB connection or wireless printing before

  * When you run the installation of the printer asks to plug a USB cable - I plug in - then it passes to the ask for password wireless but then say errors

  "To configure the network settings for the selected device, please temporarily connect via USB. The device can be disconnected from the USB, once the network settings are transferred. »

  All of the suggestions that I am at a loss.

  Hi bketchy,

  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.

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Utilities application does not start, Officejet Pro 8100

  The printer is working fine, except for the occasional streaks. The problem is when I try to access the cleaning utilities, etc.. When I try to open the app, I see a flash hourglass for a second or two, and it goes no further. I don't see any new task in the windows Task Manager. I completely uninstalled the printer and reinstalled, no luck. Any thoughts?

• Can I print in black and white with an empty cartridge on a printer HP Officejet Pro 8100?

  Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cartridge cyan online but I need to print important documents today. The power button blinks when I try to print.

  I do not understand, black and white must not use a color cartridge to print.

  Is there something so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge?

  The printer Officejet Pro 8100 has the same print mechanism like its counterpart of all-in-One Officejet Pro 8600.  This printer has a print head mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).

  It will replace the cartridge if the unit provides a message from one of the colors being empty, until the unit will resume printing.  This is a retention mechanism to avoid the product from damage.  I hope this helps.

• 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, Windows 7 64-bit.

  Hi @bigkahuna404,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!
