  • Seagate Plus backup does not connect

    I have two backup Seagate Plus external hard drives that won't connect to Windows 7 x 64 in Fusion 5.0.3. I think that it worked in Windows 8, but I deleted the virtual machine to decommission 7. Ouch!

    The device "drive_name (backup Seagate RSS + BK)" could not connect to its ideal host controller.

    Running on MacBook Air 2012 mode in "USB 2.0". Any ideas?

    -Ivar

    The only solution is to force the Protocol to USB 2.0 via a hub.  This is a known issue.

    FWIW, USB 3.0 has a lot of questions on Mac, so merging is probably as combat Apple bugs.

  • B209a-m not connected via USB - but it is! Grrrr

    Hello

    Printer B209a-m shows not connected via USB. This is the case. It was plugged in, installed, uninstalled, reinstalled. All deleted and printers reset, re-installed. It's now showing as a scanner.

    Printer itself says working net connection OK, test page printed OK.

    Site Web of HP software update says "server is not available at this time."

    I'm stuck and pulling hair. Any suggestions?

    Ok

    swear. turn everything off. go and make the tea. Come back half an hour later, everything lights up.

    This works.

  • Photosmart 5520: Computer does not connect to Photosmart 5520 more

    Hello

    I have a printer HP Photosmart 5520 which, until recently, worked absolutely fine! I even upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 to 10 and the printer continued to work perfectly.

    However, a few weeks ago the printer no longer. In other words: when I try to send a print job to the printer from my laptop (wireless), the computer says it can't find the printer. The printer is on, certainly on the same network as the laptop's wireless and nothing has changed in this network. But I keep getting errors.

    I tried to solve the problem by deleting the printer in my computer and re-install the drivers, but when trying to run the driver installation program, it cannot locate my printer either. I can't locate even by manually typing the IP address of the printer (as Setup request)... Yet I don't know still certainly both devices are in the same network and I also double, triple checked the typed IP address.

    I really don't know what else to do. I also do not understand the problem at all, because I have absolutely nothing changed in my computer or network... the printer became simply "inaccessible".

    I'm now work around the problem by using e-print (send documents to print my eprint address), but I don't like this option because one) it's unnecessarily complicated. and (b) whenever you post a document, the printer prints an extra page with the e-mail address and it is a waste of paper and ink.

    So if someone could help me with my driver/connection problem, I would be very grateful!

    Thank you

    Lenny

    Running the diagnostics to http://www.hp.com/go/tools can help solve the problem.  Download and run printing HP and doctor Scan.

    You mention that you have checked the IP address.  You can open embedded Web Server (EWS printer) by entering the IP address if the printer in your browser?

  • Photosmart B210a, CN216A still not connected to my wireless network.

    Why won't my printer B210a Photosmart wireless connect to my wireless network?  He continues to disconnect. I continue to run the software installer and he works briefly, then it disconnects again.  Help, please.  I'm not what else to do. I've tried everything.

    Scope of David

    Yes, it is very probably the router.  SMC routers are non-standard (as are most of the routers ISP-issued) and does not play well with HP printers and other devices designed to the WIfi Alliance standards.

    I recommend you get a modem by your ISP and go buy your own wireless router.  Get a name-brand a Linksys or Netgear and be happy!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: loss of wireless connection, printer does not accept the password wireless

    My printer has suddenly lost its wifi connection. It's the only phone connected to my network to do so.

    Through the Wireless Setup Wizard to restore the connection. Assistant tells me that I entered an invalid password wireless, that is not true. (I confirmed that all devices connected to the network using the same password).

    Reset the router (Technicolor of Time Warner). Reset the printer. The 'Restore default network' done. No luck.

    Zero has changed since yesterday, when my printer was working fine. I used the same router for months, do not change any settings. Any thoughts on what may be the issue? A bad update happen?

    Thanks in advance.

    My apologies for the late reply. I managed to get this problem resolved by phone to customer service.

    The security mode of the router had to be changed to 64 WEP for wireless connection to be restored. According to Support HP, it's a common problem with the routers in Technicolor. There was no explanation as to why the printer has suddenly lost the ability to connect wirelessly when safety was created to WPA2-PSK. The network has been configured this way for more than a year.

    I have almost solved this problem on mine (I had read about changing of security in a different post), but ran into a hiccup because of Safari. For some reason, Safari prohibited access to a menu page for my router security settings. You can imagine how boring it is to look at the HP Support use Firefox to access the router and do what a mouse click more, and then I had to make the change. So, if you make this change, be sure not to use Safari to access the gateway of the router Technicolor. Use Chrome or Firefox.

  • Photosmart 7525: IP address: "not connected".

    I had my printer for years and a few days ago, it stopped printing.  I looked around the printer, and the only thing I can find is the IP said: "not connected".  I tried to restart my computer and the printer.  I also went on HP website and tried to re - download the driver for this printer.  Unfortunately when I am at the step of the Wizard utility download HP it can't find my printer.  I checked and my wireless is enabled.  The following troubleshooting suggestion is to connect the printer directly to the computer with a USB cable.  I don't have the printer USB cord that could be with the printer, so I'm at a loss to know what to do next.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Easy things first. Power off the printer and the router. Turn on the router and wait 3 min. to the printer market and check that it connects to the router. Status now?

  • HP Photosmart D110a does not connect after the software update of the router

    I'll try a restatement of my first message:

    Two days ago I had problems with my Internet service provider modem.  This problem has been solved, but leads to a second problem still does not connect to the internet.  Then with the help of technical support D-Link, an update of the software has been downloaded to my wireless router and installed and now I can connect to the internet.

    But today, I had to use my printer/scanner for 2 1/2 year, HP Photosmart D110a, it is not connected through the above wireless router.  (The blue light on the printer blinks just).  Tech support says I'm out of warranty, so I hope someone can help me here on this forum.

    Thank you!

    Glad you got it to work, please mark it as Solution accepted so that others can search and find the answer too.

  • Our HP Photosmart Plus b209a-m this that it is not connected after a change of modem.

    Lightning struck the power line outside our House. We had to replace the modem. Now our HP Photosmart Plus b209a-m shows that it is not connected. Connect us wirelessly. What should I do to get this operational return.

    Go to Applications > Hewlett-Packard > [your printer model] > setting up the printer and software.  Run it to re - connect your printer to your wireless network.  Need you a USB cable temporarily.  Connect it only when the software asks you.

  • HP Photosmart Plus B210a does not print Magenta

    Hello

    I have already posted in these forums about this, but no answers seem to solve my problem.

    Basically, my Photosmart B210 (who bought last October) does not Magenta print. I went through several cartrides real both HP and brand own PC World and Magenta print never to pages. The estimated ink levels show the Magenta levels accordingly well (full when it is new, empty when used etc.).

    I would like to know what steps I can take to resolve this problem, in addition to buying new cartridges (again!) and turn again and restore to factory settings - that did not work.

    Thanks for your help!

    When the unit will not print a single or multiple color, it is labeled as a print quality problem.

    You can find the steps to solve a problem of printing quality for B210a here.

    I hope this helps!
