• Photosmart C4580 wireless problems after installing Snow Leopard

  Hello

  I recently installed the new Snow Leopard on my macbook to see I have printer problems.  I tried to uninstall the HP printer and reinstall.  I can print if I connect with my USB, but I can't make it work wireless.  When I try to print wireless, printing opens and tries to print.  Then I get an error message saying that my printer is offline.  How can I make 'online '.  This error message disappears when I plug in the USB cable.

  I would really like my printer works as well as it did before Snow Leopard.  Maybe that's not possible, but I would at least the option of wireless printing.  I've been waiting with the help of HP for 20 min. twice and finally abandoned.  Any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you very much.

  Isteph: The main reason for you trouble is that you send the job thanks to a USB print queue configured. Each queue on a Mac is specific to a single connection method. Printer offline is the Mac error, which means the cable is not connected (of course it wouldn't be).

  To fix this: open your menu Apple - system preferences - Print & Fax. Use the 'negative' at the bottom of the column to remove from the queue for this device. Click on the "plus" sign to search a new queue. You want to add a queue of bonjour for wireless connections. If a queue of Hello is not displayed then PrintDocs instructions above may help you to re-associate the printer to the network.

• Photosmart C4580 wireless problem

  This all-in-one is not responding when he slowed down after a few hours without exploitation. The only way to bring back to life is in power it cycle. I tried the reset default, static and same ip address assignment to disable security on my network. Still the same problem. The only solution provided by HP support must it off when it is not in use. I think that's not a real solution for me. I really regret buying HP printer. If anyone can help it would really appreciate.

• Analysis of the problems with C309G (wireless) and Snow Leopard 10.6

  iMac with OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard)

  C309G-M put in place on the WIFI network

  Latest drivers installed

  Scanning does not work with preview or Capture of Image or the HP-Scan utility. Overview analysis always selects a portion of the A4 page even when the option is not checked. Is this a bug in the driver, or is there a workaround?

  You can try to uninstall HP in this way:

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Now run a software update.

  Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

  You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

• HP Photosmart C4580 Wireless - can't get to work

  I just had to get a new computer and a new printer.  While I was there, I set up a wireless network.  I am running Windows Vista 64-bit on the new computer (gateway) and a HP Photosmart C4580 printer with wireless capability.  I can't the printer to work regularly.  Whenever I have reinstall, it works very well until it's the computer goes to sleep or stops.  Then, it no longer works.  Reinstall... it works... sleep, it stops working... vicious circle.

  I spent hours with HP cat trying to solve this problem and even more time to try to find me a solution.  This is my first HP product and I must say that I am at the end of my mind with him.  I can't believe that I'm the only one on Earth with a similar problem, but I can't find any help anywhere.  I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I did not have enough experience to understand and can't seem to find someone who does.

  I'd appreciate any help I can get at this point.  This is my last resort before you give up and go back to Dell!

  I have a few questions and suggestions:

  1. The IP address of the printer, the computer or both changes over time?
  2. I recommend that you set a computer DHCP reservation and the printer.  Connect to your wireless router, look for LAN Configuration, address reservation.  You should see a list of clients connected to the wireless router.  Define bookings of at least the printer and the computer.
  3. The SW (sorry about that) to uninstall and reinstall.

  With the IP address of the computer and the printer now set, the SW should not have problems to find the printer when it wakes up from sleep (I hope).

  BTW - unless you are using a surge protector, very inexpensive, the printer should be fine tuned on.   I think that the Councils to plug the printer directly into the wall, as a way to solve the problems SW is very interesting.

• Photosmart c4580 print problem

  Hello, I have a photosmart c4580 running on wifi... I have two mac osx on 10.7.4 but when I print, it says 'printing 100% ' then I get a messase saying 'this printer is not responding' IV ' e removed the software from the computer off and removed the printer and reinstalled but it still has the same problem...

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Daniel

  Unfortunately, the problem of compatibility makes it is a bit difficult.  The update of the firmware will fix the problem, but it does not work with 10.8.

  The only way to get the updated firmware update is to find a system that uses OS X 10.5 or more.  The update utility lists Mac OS x 10.4, Mac OS X 10.5 and Mac OS X as in charge.  I suspect that the last option, although it is not listed, is 10.6.  10.6 may work, but I recommend you find a 10.5 system to ensure the update will be a success.

• HP Photosmart 7760 and Mac Snow Leopard

  I just had to get a new computer... under Mac OSX 10.6 - Snow Leopard.

  Everything installed beautifully, but my old Photosmart 7760 inkjet printer will not work.  When I go to print, the printer window opens and displays "error".  I reinstalled, I disconnected and reconnected the printer, I restarted the computer.  I went to a few other blogs help - no help!

  Can anyone here help me?  I really don't want to have to buy a new color printer. It still works very well!

  TIA!

  I finally found it - I knew there must be an answer!  HP downloads didn't work, but Apple support was a universal HP driver download.  The moment where I downloaded it, the old Photosmart printer worked like a charm.

  Thanks to all who responded.

• Photosmart C310 wireless problems

  I have a HP Photosmart C310 and O2 Hotshot wifi device. Printer test report ot the network is connected and the printer has been installed on my Dell laptop. Printing works fine when I use a cable but the laptop cannot find the printer when I try wireless. When I brought the package in the store where I bought the printer, he tried connecting to the top through their wifi - who is with Eircom - and it worked then. But when we set up return to the Hotshot it wouldn't work again. This problem can be resolved, or the devices that I use are not suitable for wireless printing?

  Your Hotshot cannot allow communication from client to client.  Each customer probably only has direct access to the Internet, not to each other.

  Contact the manufacturer of Hotshot for more details.

• C7280 all in the a photosmart printer wireless problem

  Photosmart c7280 All in One

  Windows 7 64 b

  Unable to connect to the modem

  no change

  This photosmart c7280 all-in-one is no spring chicken, and there were no problems so far. It is connected to 2 laptops via a Qwest wireless modem. After that be able to connect to the printer for a week or two the ability to access the printer has disappeared... printer shows offline. To resolve this problem, I had to redo the SSID and WEP information and it would be upward. Today when this 'fix' again once he could not find the modem even if I am connected to my office at the top of the page and online. I had unplugged the modem and brought up in power go online without a problem, I so I stop the 7280 and restarted, is returned to Setup Wizard wireless, put in the news and hit OK... it has started the search for the modem then hooked! Unable to do anything, power button did not work, had to pull the plug to get it to turn off. Back on and everything but the wireless worked, did this x 4 with the same result. Is there a separate card to control the wireless function? It is replaceable and it sounds like the likely cause of the problem?

  Thank you, Bob

  Looks like the wireless card has failed.  Print a network Test Wireless in the network menu on the front of the printer.

  If she does not, reset the printer by turning it off, keeping the # 6 keys while a few seconds after turning it on.

  If the radio is toast, it can be practically replaced.

• Photosmart c309a wireless problem

  I had my printer for 14 months and am not eligible using HP.  It had been printing fine on the wireless of my modem to ATT uverse.  All of a sudden it won't print and says printer offline or disconnected.  When I do the diagnosis, it is said the wireless radio is not on.  Blue light for the wireless on the control panel is on.  My wireless network otherwise works fine and the computers are also very good.  This problem can be corrected?

  Martin

  I'm sorry, but your wireless radio is dead. You can connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable and get the same functionality that the wireless or use it on USB. Otherwise, its time for a new printer.

• Photosmart C4795 wireless problem

  Hi, I tried to configure connect wirelessly with my mac (OS 10.5.8) but I can't seem to access it.  When I search the online ip address I can pull up all the information from the printer, but when you try to add the preferences--> printers/fax system there is no recognized printers available.  When trying to set up by the disk, that I am unable to connect wirelessly via usb - all I get is an error saying that my mac has no access on the network even if it does.  The printer wireless network test report, there is no problem found.

  I can add the printer directly by the option ip address when adding new printers through the system preferences, but the only thing that printed successfully is through the hp utility test page - whenever I try to print other documents it stalls and loses the connection to the printer.  I don't know if I added it by intellectual property through system pref properly because of this.  Everything works fine from my pc.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

  If it prints very well from your PC, then I will assume that it is connected to your network OK.  We'll take on the Mac:

  First thing to try would be to reset the printing system:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  If she is not there, restart your router and look again.

  Also, tell me about your network - router brand/model, type of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.) and ISP type (DSL, cable, etc.).

• help with HP Photosmart C4580 wireless using the windows 8.1need driver?

  I updated my computer and all of a sudden the printer will not connect wireless as it did before. I was told by HP that there is no upgrade program, but it worked before yesterday... Please help me

  Thanks for the reply.  Sorry this solution did not work.

  You upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1? There is an updated driver for Windows 8.1, but it's the same one that was in Windows 8.  If you installed from an earlier version of Windows, you may try to download and install the driver for Windows 8.  Here is a link to that.

  If you were already on Windows 8, then more information is needed to answer your question.  You get an error message when you try to print?  Try you print and the printer is not available or is not listed?  Error messages?
