• Problems connecting my computer to my wireless network when Photosmart C4780 is connected

  Hello

  I recently bought a new printer Photosmart C4780 wireless. It works fine via USB, but I seem to have problems when I try to set up with my router.

  Here's what happens:

  First of all, I run the Setup on the CD supplied with the printer (while connected wireless to my network).  I am going through the different steps and after Setup finds my network settings to give to the printer. After that, the Setup program tries to find the printer on the network.  It goes very well for about 4 or 5 seconds while the printer connects to my wireless... but then, once the printer connects, my computer disconnects causing an error Setup can not communicate with the printer because I'm not connected to a network.

  What is going on?

  If anyone can solve this problem for me, that would be amazing and be a great help!

  I'm sorry to say this but there are problems between SMC routers and HP printers.

  Search this forum MUCH info on the subject.

• Photosmart C4780: connection for Photosmart C4780 wireless

  I spent two hours through the simplistic menu of the printer, only to print copies of the Configuration Page of HP network and Test wireless network without success reports. I think I made all the necessary steps... such as the restoration's default network.

  "Your HP printer cannot find your wireless router. Check that your wireless router is powered. Make sure that your network printer HP (SSID) name exactly matches the network name (SSID) wireless routher yout. If they do not exactly match, run the installation of the wireless network to set up your HP printer.

  Well, I have entered my IP address of the router as the url of the browser and connected to my cable account, but was not able to change the SSID.

  I also looked at the Youtube page help HP and on discussion forums and tried to use the suggestions.

  One who seems to be similar to my situation is this:

  http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/LaserJet-Printing/driver-for-HP-Photosmart-C4780-for-OS-X-Mavericks/TD-...

  I, too, can't find "the HP network configuration.

  I also downloaded the Printer Driver HP Patch for my OS.

  At this point, I'm not sure that I can do. The other suggestion on this page was to find a friend with a PC. I phone my mother on-site, running Windows 10. I also downloaded its respective driver. I don't know what I should do next. Any help would be appreciated.

  I have a D-Link router, and I can provide additional information, such as IP, WiFi SSID, pine, etc., if necessary.

  Hello

  You need to press on you first, WPS option on the printer.

  Please, try this and let me know how it goes:

  1. On the printer control panel, press the button next to Scan, and then press the button next to the Wireless Menu.

• Is it possible to connect the HP Photosmart C4780 Wireless printer without USB cable?

  Hello

  My family and I recently moved and while moving, something inevitably get lost or left for account.  I am fighting to get this printer and will so I don't have to bother people at the front desk at school to print my documents for me.  I have lost/misplaced both the HP Photosmart C4780 printer software disk and the USB cable.  I have no idea where these things are and have not found them within two months, we've been in the new House.

  I solved the issue of the loss of the installation disk by downloading it from the HP site.  My problem is now getting beyond the USB connection and get the currently installed software.  Because I run on a MacBook Pro, it always tells me that I need the USB key to continue the installation.  I'm on a Verizon Wireless router, and I even tried to find the printer on my wireless network with no luck.

  Help, please!

  Thank you.

  It's the type of cable you will need (ignore the color of the cable, the ends are the important part).

  

  Have a new router is not a problem, but remember the SSID and password wireless exactly, otherwise it will not work (if you decide to try Method 1). It's a bit like "trick" your printer into thinking that your new router is your old a long enough to configure the network settings for the new (desired).

• Photosmart C4780 cannot connect to the wireless network

  My Photosmart C4780 worked just well, wireless, and now I can't print unless I connect it to my laptop or desktop via the usb cord.  I'm under that Mac OSX 10.9 with the Mavricks downloaded on both computers.  I was able to print from my Mac Mini, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air all without problem, but now my WiFi network Test report said that I do not see "Network name (SSID found)".  The Configuration Page of my status Netowrk said HP network is Offline and my Active connection Type is None, but I can see my network under number of 802.11 networks discovered.  I think I just need to connect or reconnect the printer to the network but I can't find how to do this anywhere on the help site.  Can someone tell me how to connect my printer to my network now?  When I first installed it on the network, I had no 10.9 OSX with Mavricks so the installation CD works perfectly, but it does not work either.  One last thing, when I try to use the screen on the printer and go through the WIFI Protected Setup the two push button and PIN fails.  HELP PLEASE...

  Hi hisfunbox,

  I'm sorry to hear that you are having problems connecting to your wireless printer.

  I have included a document with steps on how to change the printer to a USB connection to a wireless connection. It has a paragraph for Mac OS X Lion mountain/OS X v10.9 Mavericks v10.8. The second option in this section is how to move from the existing USB connection.

• Photosmart C4780 wireless Mac connection failure

  I, like some others I've seen messages on, will have exactly the same problem with my HP Photosmart C4780 of wireless connection to my MacBook.  I just bought this printer a couple of days with a new iMac (which I have not yet unpacked, yet).  I decided to see if I could go ahead and get the printer works with my Macbook.  Here is a breakdown of the specs, measures and tests.

  1 MacBook OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) running.

  2. software is installed.

  3. to set up a wireless connection, the "Device unavailable" error appears in a dialog box.  This is the same error that others have had.  He continues with... "The network configuration has been correctly transferred to the device.  However, to continue the configuration of the device in the network, your Mac must have access to the device... ».

  4. I can load the page HTTP for my router (a Qwest Actiontec M1000) and see the IP address of the printer.

  5. I can successfully ping the the IP address Mac printers.

  6. I cannot correctly load the HTTP page to the printer via the IP address and the view that it is different pages.  I can even change some of the settings, however, apparently never really complete updates.

  7. After talking with HP support for more than 90 minutes (after waiting on hold for nearly 45 minutes, not a joke), we arrived at the conclusion that the modem/router must be the cause of the problem.  So, I was told to contact Qwest to get help.  Furthermore, technical support had me through many of the same steps I've seen on other items (for example, reset the printing system, uninstalling and reinstalling the software, reset my router, etc.).

  8 next, before calling Qwest, I decided to see if I could get the printer runs on Windows.  Under WinXP SP2 on a platform completely separate (but), I was able to install the software correctly and successfully a wireless connection to the printer.  I rebooted the machine Windows several times and disconnected the power to the printer just to make the connection is when it was re-powered and rebooted.  And Yes, everything works perfectly on the Windows machine.  It tells me there is nothing wrong with the router (with a possible exception, which I will speak in a moment).

  9. given that the installation worked in the windows box, I decided to call HP.  This time I isn't that hold it for about 20 min.  I told them what the results were in the Windows world, and we proceeded to work on this issue with the Mac for about an hour.  We have made some of the same things, as for the first phone call, in addition to a few other checks.  It simply seems that software on Mac just cannot see the printer, which means that the HP software will be unable to see it as well.  It's very weird because I can still ping and also set up its Web page (on the Mac and Windows machines).  Now technology seems to think that this is a problem with Mac OS because it certainly works with a different OS with the same router.  I'm leaning toward the same conclusion as well.

  10. now for the question of the possible router I mentioned earlier.  I saw in another post where someone says hello.  Something the Actiontec only modems no routing of packets used by Hello.  I have absolutely no idea what the Hello devil is.  I tried to do a little research on this and am still confused as to what it is and what it does.  However, if Hello is something specific to the Mac and has nothing to do with the router itself, then it seems to me that the router had no knowledge of Hello (and certainly would not care).  Therefore, the ability of routers delivers packages for different platforms should not be affected by this Hello thing.  However, this does not mean the packets are not getting lost once they arrive at the Mac because of Hello (again, not knowing what it is).  Now if that's the case, then it seems to me that the problem would be with the Mac (in conjunction with this thing Hello), not the router.

  11. other positions reported this same problem wireless with this same printer using OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).  If this is true, then when I finally unpack my new iMac, I expect to have the same problem... we'll see when I am near to it.  If he did not have this same problem, so maybe there is hope if I upgrade my MacBook to Snow Leopard.

  If anyone has any other light to this problem, please let me know what might be the underlying issue, and how can I fix this (if someone already has).  Thank you.

  Finally, problem solved!  Here is the solution, if someone else is facing a similar problem.

  Since I found the IP address of the printer on the Web page of my router, I went in "Print and Fax" system preferences.  From there, I clicked on the sign "+" to add a printer.  Nothing appears in the default tab.  So, I went to the IP tab.  From there, I selected the Protocol for the "HP Jetdirect - Socket".  In the address field, I entered the IP address of the printer.  After a few moments, the printer was found and the field "Print using" is automatically filled with the print driver.  I clicked on "Add", and low and here's the printer now appears in my list of printers.

  The second representative of HP I was working with me had to go through this same series of steps with one exception.  Never, we put the Protocol field.  He was left as default "Line Printer Daemon - LPD".  When this was done, nothing ever appeared.  So, I think that the trick was to change the field Protocol, as shown here.

  I hope this helps those who have a similar problem.  Good luck.

• Photosmart C4780 wireless installation under 10.6

  Well, I have a Photosmart C4780 printer, and I try to get connected to the network. I need to connect it wirelessly because that cable of three feet it came with just do not cut it.

  I have no idea how to connect it. I see nothing on the networks in the software of the printer, and the printer itself menus are cryptic and buggy.

  Any statement of Mac, I can find is for older versions using the real HP software. From what I understand, if I'm on Snow Leopard, I'll use drivers and the software I already have. The sole instructions of Snow Leopard I can find hidden only setting via the USB port.

  Help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  Download the latest version of the software HP here

  Run the program and first have the USB cable connected to the printer, you will come to a point in the configuration where you will be asked if you want to configure the wireless printer.  Confirm the configuration wireless and just the follow through.  You will need to know your wireless network security settings and benefit that your Mac is on the wireless network that you want to use with the printer.  It's pretty simple.

• Photosmart C4780 wireless set in place the question

  Hi all

  I tried to implement the Photosmart C4780 to print on a wireless network. I have a pc running Windows XP SP2. When I go through the process of configuring the network device it seems to pass a number of steps with no problems before you throw the following: "the printer attempted to join the network but does not receive any data. This may be caused by MAC address, filtering... "I checked the router settings, router is a Netgear Wgr614 and MAC address filtering is turned off.  I have a number of other devices connected to the network and all have very well connected without tinkering with the configuration of the router.
  When I run a wireless network test, she spends the first 5 criteria (Wirless on, working wireless, found network name, security, printer settings in line with the wireless router settings) before failing on the 6 criteria (filtering on).
  Any ideas...

  Have completed using the USB connection and which works very well but I would like to run without thread if poss.

  Thank you for your help. Neil

  It's fixed now, everything worked Ok once I changed the WEP authentication type router "Shared key" setting to "open system".

• Photosmart C4780 wireless do not print wireless

  The basics - old iMac dual core, new Macbook (both with Snow Lepoard 10.6.1,) relatively new Airport Extreme, new printer 'Wireless' Photosmart C4780.

  Installation/set up progresses to a point, then I get the message "network unavailable. The selected WiFi network is not in range of the aircraft. "The 'device' the C4780 sits 3 feet between the router and showing the strength of the signal higher of all networks in the region.  [BTW - the new Macbook would work wireless from time to time until people e-mail tech support HP's suggestion, I have made an adjustment to the configuration of the router.  Now it works again even if the router settings are returned to their default value.  When you attempt to print wireless from a computer, the printer says it is offline.  I talked to Apple support and they advise that if I can get the IP number of the HP printer, I should be able to configure the printers to work.  HP technical support 'Chat', explains the IP number is assigned by the router.  I've given up o HP Webcam live tech support after being on hold for over a half hour, twice.  HP support 'Chat' is almost exclusively oriented Windows and they send me to technical support of HP "e-mail", which sends an email per day reiterating I already took action.  Sorry for the rant, but this forum is my last hope.  Can someone help me? What can I do to get this working?

  Have you deleted and added the printer in the print queue? Let's try it:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Select the printer in question and click the sign less down the list
  -Select the sign and add it again.

  If this does not work, do the same thing, only instead of the second stage, right (control), click the box of the print queue and select Reset Printing System.

• The configuration of the new MacBook Pro and HP C4780 wireless connectivity helps

  The MacBook Pro OS 10.6.3 so the CD that was included in the box of C4780 is should not be used.  I need to configure settings wireless in the printer.  Can I connect the printer via USB and it prints.  All the information that I have seen and read States to use the "Printer Setup Utility" for this, but I can't seem to find it.  All required HP software is upposed to be on the MAC under 10.6.  I'm relatively new to a MAC and I tried to look around to find the utility but don't have happen what it is.  The only utilities that I can find under 'Printers and faxes' and 'Options' for the C4780 are a number of requests for test pages, ink, supplies and other levels.  Can someone point out exactly where I find the Setup utility?

  OK, I did everything above, and does not now print.  I even reset the printer IP to the IP of origin just to try again and also now works.  My printing problem may have had more to do with resetting the print subsystem and then redefine the printer for the Mac.

  In any case, I'm now moving forward with other installation problems.  Thanks for the help and suggestions.

• New password Wi - Fi and the need to upgrade the configuration on HP Photosmart C4780 wireless

  We got a new Verizon FiOS router through an upgrade and now have the new network name and password WEP. I use MAC OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and does not know how I can change settings of the printer wireless to match the new router information. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer on my computer, even re-installed the software, but nowhere he gave me the opportunity to enter into new free wi - fi connection settings. Any ideas?

  And the FiOS router does not support WPS, so I can't use it, unfortunately. Thank you!

  Hi @8eleven5

  There is! If it already has the software installed on your mac, connect the printer using a USB cable and open the HP folder, inside the Applications folder. In the HP folder, find ad open peripheral utility then the HP installation wizard. Run the wizard and choose the option to Setup wireless via USB.

  If she didn't already have the software installed, use the following link to install the software, plug the announcement of cable USB Setup will guide you right to the installation wizard.

  Once the software has set up the printer to the wireless network, simply add the printer to your 10.10

• My HP Photosmart C4780 Wireless keeps disconnecting

  Hello

  My problem is compliacted.

  First of all, I can't get my printer wireless using HP Software Setup, I get this annoying error message:

  Your computer is unable to communicate with your printer at 192.168.1.101. This can be the result of firewall software. If you use firewall software, make sure that the 427 UDP port is unlocked for the incoming and outgoing traffic.

  Your PC cannot communicate with your printer at address 192.168.1.101. Check all cable connections. Make sure the printer and the PC and the router are powered on and connected to the network.

  I have no firewall software, the Windows Firewall is completely off.

  But sometimes (not always) my HP printer must be connected using Wi - Fi Protected Setup push button, then disconnects.

  I installed the latest version of my HP printer software and driver.

  I reinstalled software HP several times.

  I can't access page interal printer by opening http://192.168.1.101

  I use the router Linksys and Windows 7.

  Is there something I'm doing in the router?

  Thank you very much

  Hello
