HP Photosmart B209a - lost wireless connection

I use the printer above and it worked perfectly on a BT Home Hub 2-57GM. I recently added a Time Capsule from Apple in the network and now use it as my default around the home wifi even if it is connected by a cable to the BT Home Hub. I operate two apples two OS x 10.6.8

I ran a report on the printer problems and the only 'FAIL', it's that the printer settings were not consistent with the settings of the wireless router. If I change my wifi on the home hub original only it still comes back with the same error message.

Any ideas as to what I should do?

Make sure all your devices are connected to a router, probably the time Capsule.  The BT home hub will give probably different IP addresses that the router from Apple.  The BT Home Hub will probably give 192.168.X.X.  Apple will probably give 10.0.X.X.

If the B209a has the wrong IP, reinstall it, connect to the router from Apple.  Make sure that the wireless BT is disabled (recommended) or has a different network name.

  • Photosmart Plus B209 wireless connection not available

    Hello

    I just got a new Photosmart Plus B209 because my old 4580 died. I had the old printer put in place for the wireless connection, but the new Photosmart told me that the network is unavailable. When I press help he told me to make sure that there is no connection and to check for interference. Well, there are none. Printer and router are almost side by side. I used the HP set up guide and he tells me that the network is not available (which it isn't because otherwise I wouldn't be able to write this online).

    I use a MacBook with a Timecapsule 10.5.8 and a cable modem D-link.

    Yes, the workaround is a bit tedious, but it works.  If you have another router (standard), we all connect to one and use WPS.

    In any case, let's try this:

    1. on the front of the printer: Setup > Wireless > default settings.

    2. on your look of computer for a wireless called "hpsetup".  Connect you to it.

    3. print a network Test Wireless in the menu of the wireless printer.  Get the IP address of the printer.

    4. type the IP address of the printer in the web browser address bar.  You should see the page in the printer settings.

    5. click on the network tab, and then start the wireless configuration wizard.  Follow the instructions.

    6. when the printer is connected to your wifi, re - connect your computer to your wifi and add the printer in system preferences > print & scan (click the sign '+' to add the printer).

  • OfficeJet Pro L7780: Printer lost wireless connectivity

    The printer (which worked before wireless) has lost the connection to the router (wi - fi) for wireless printing and can not find the router when you run "Wireless Wizard". Have restarted the printer several times, but no chance connection. Summary diagnosis said the network name 'failed '. (I have with other devices wireless connectivity). The Configuration Page shows wireless status is disconnected and shows all zeros for the IP address and the subnet mask.

  • Equium L40 - lost wireless connection

    I have an Equium L40-156 under Vista and wireless became intermittent. The switch light would go out or maybe turn on at startup. In the end, I did a restore of the entire system from scratch and installed the latest drivers (Realtek) wireless.

    This seemed to cure the problem and it has been fine for the last 2 months. However, the light is now out again (it was working an hour ago), and there is no wireless connection.

    I tried a restore of the system and also installed the latest driver from Toshiba, but I still can't run. I hesitate to start over again once it takes all day to load programs and updates. Can anyone suggest what I can do or is this another bug of Vista?

I'm computer semi-literate if not bad words please!

    Thank you in anticipation

    Since you reset the printer back to factory settings, you will need to go through the USB to the configuration wireless again. Looks like you already know this, but it gives you problems. I would uninstall the software and the driver for the printer from the computer. Once you have done, you will then be able to install the software and the driver for the printer again. When installing, it should ask you how you want to install the printer. Tell him you want to do a wireless installation. Installation should then ask you if the printer is already on the network, or if you need to connect the printer to the network via a temporary USB connection. Choose the option that uses a temporary USB connection. Who should return you to printing. I will include links to the document that will help you get this all sorted. Let me know what happens.

  • Photosmart B210e lost wireless settings

    "Is the reason to do outside the DHCP IP address simply to avoid conflicts on the network for devices that obtain their IP addresses automatically?" - Yes.  Not only devices take the IP addresses of DHCP, but there is usually a lease who get these devices which reserves the IP address for them for several hours or even a day, even if they disconnect and reconnect.

    Another way to get around this is to reserve an IP address from the router for a specific device.  That works too, but is more difficult to teach people to do because of the variety of interfaces on routers.

    Once that tell you the printer to ask 192.168.1.200, you are finished.  Your laptops and office will be able to find the printer with its new IP address.  If they can't let me know...

  • Satellite L450D-13 x - lost wireless connection and will not sign up to all the

    I have a Satellite L450D - 13 X, I was able to use the wireless until today where it has stopped working. No matter what I do, it says that the wireless device is disabled.
    I tried to update and diagnoses, but they all come back fine.

    Can anyone help?

    Try to restore OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Maybe some update Microsoft screwed up the WLAN functionality. Very often the driver WLAN is displayed as an option to update.

    Try this as the first step.
    Also try restarting your router.

  • HP Photosmart 7520 fails to connect to the WLAN after deactivation/activation

    Nice day

    I use HP Photosmart 7520 with wireless connection.

    I can print for the first time when the printer connects to the WIFI, but when I turn the printer off and turn it back on, the printer is no longer on the WLAN.

    The screen and print network report says that everything is OK - signal strength is good, he is connected, IP address correct, gateway IP ok, everything is correct and very well - but the printer IS NOT on the WLAN. I have used several analytical tools and I did 'ping' and the prnter is not there.

    There is a big BUG! How can I solve this problem?

    PS: If I want the printer to work again, I have to manually reconnect again to the WLAN

    Since the other topic of forum is very polluted, I paste here the relevant solution

    Left and right of the screen are a House (upper-left), back (lower-left) and a cancellation (bottom right, it's a red X) buttons.  You may need to use a flashlight to see them because probably they are not lit.

    • -Keys in the original sequence (top left), back (lower left), cancel (bottom right), back (lower-left).  This should bring up the menu engineering.
    • In this menu select Menu Underware.  You will see a display similar to the arrows for a TV remote control (up, left, right, down, arrows with an OK button in the middle).
    • Use the arrow key to the right and go into the system menu (the menu names are displayed in the upper left corner).  Press OK
    • Use the arrow key to the left and go to the system mode timeout.  Press OK
    • Use the down arrow key to set the timeout to 0.  Press OK.
    • Exit by pushing cancel (bright red x in the lower right corner) until you have returned to the home screen.

    You can avoid the printer to go into mode 'sleep' and then lose connection. As a consequence will increase energy consumption.

  • Photosmart 7520: Photosmart 7520 has lost its wireless connection

    Our photosmart 7520 used to print beautifully two laptops, but today it stopped printing at all and seems to have lost its connection to the internet.

    I tried to remove it from my system preferences, to reset, and when I tried to add it, it was no longer on the list of available printers.

    Hello @cornylouise!

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I would be happy to provide you with assistance on the Photosmart 7520 and the problem of communication between 2 laptops.  If the printer is no longer being found by computers, then you can by looking at a slight problem of Wi - Fi.  The first thing I would suggest is the cycle of power cables to the printer and the router by unplugging the power for 20 seconds.  Once the devices back on then see if you can add the printer to laptop computers.

    If you are unable to find the printer then I suggest to restore the default settings of network on the printer and it reconnect to the wireless network.

    To restore the default settings of the network printer:

    1. To press the Wi - Fi icon at the top of the touch screen to printer
    2. Tap Settings
    3. Tap on restore default network settings and confirm

    To run the Wireless Setup Wizard:

    1. Icon press the Wi - Fi at the top left of the screen touchscreen printer
    2. Tap Settings
    3. Press wireless configuration wizard
    4. Select your network
    5. Enter the password and confirm it
    6. Check if the computer can find the printer again

    If please, after back and let me know how it goes!
