  • Locally connected printer show offline on Windows 7 network after working initially

    OK, have you checked similar discussions which has no successful response.

    I have a PC with Epson printer connect directly via USB. Printer driver installed correctly.  Works very well.

    Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) no warranty other than windows firewall and microsoft security essential.

    Laptop connected wireless to PC.  On the same network and homegroup, file and media sharing, all works well.

    Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit) even PC security.

    When I add a network printer, find the printer on the PC and properly installs driver etc.  Printer appears in the devices and allows to print the first two times.

    However, the next day the network printer is 'offline' in the spooler to print on the laptop.  The documents simply stack up.

    The PC doesn't go to sleep and is left on all the time except for the screen is turned off.  Printer works fine on PC, indeed with the docs stuck on the laptop I can always print directly from the PC - even if it does not appear the printer to be online on the laptop.

    Having checked that the spooler printer on the laptop is running and set to automatic.

    Epson impossible / wants to help - have found a similar thread with no response - everyone all guess what to try?

    Thank you very much

    I had a similar problem and for me, the problem is with the EPSON driver.

    My printer is connected wireless to my network, I got the IP address and could he ping but WIN 7 it showed off line.

    Then, I went and took a look at the printer driver (chosen to start, devices and printer, the epson printer then under management of the printer, printer to customize, ports then configure port)

    And I noticed that for the Standard TCP/IP Port it was pointing to a different IP address than the one that my printer was currently. I edited it to match what the printer was and he came online.

    When you turn off the printer, its IP address back in your pool of routers to be reallocated.

    The windows driver Epson still has the old IP. You turn on your printer and your router can give it an IP address that is different from last time. Now, it doesn't match with what the stored before Epson driver and you says it's offline.

    For me, rather than change the IP address in the driver whenever it happened that I assigned an IP (fixed host) in my router based on my printers MAC address. In this way he always give my printer every time the same address and is no longer false messages offline appears under Windows.

    It is a driver problem Epson, not a windows problem.

  • HP photosmart 6510: error on hp photosmart 6510 showing-95 when using scan to email

    My photosmart hp 6510 displays error - 95 when using scan to email. Help!

    Hello @twinec, greetings!

    Thank you for joining the Forums of HP Support! I came across the question you posted, and I want to help you with the best of my knowledge.

    You can try a manual DNS address assignment to fix most of the analysis of the questions by e-mail. Try the steps mentioned below and check:

    • Get the IP address of the printer, you can touch the 'Wireless' icon on the Control Panel printer to get the IP address.
    • Type the IP address in your web browser to get the EWS page on your computer printer.
    • Go to the 'Network' tab - click on "wireless (802.11), and then click «network address (IPv4)»»
    • Click on the radio button that says 'Manual of the DNS server' and under manual type favorite 8.8.8.8 and manual replacement enter 8.8.4.4 (it is Google's DNS server address)
    • Save the settings. Restart your modem, router and printer.

    Let me know how it goes! Good luck

    See you soon

    Hi @3427 and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you are having connectivity problems.  I would like to help!

    I recommend you to perform a power reset.   Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I also suggest this document on Center of troubleshooting wireless printing.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP Envy 5532: Printer shows offline

    I have a HP Envy 5532, and was connected by wirelessand successly worked fine but suddenly went "offline". The printer showed a wireless connection. I rebooted the PC and router without result. I since then connected the printer directly to the computer via the USB port and I can see it in Device Manager, but he remains firmly 'offline '. Help!

    Hey @AWA1947,

    Thanks for getting back to me on this subject. I am pleased to hear that the USB connectivity issue has been resolved. With regard to the problem of wireless connectivity can I please have you follow the steps below to check if the computer and the printer are 'talk' on the network. Once that determine us if there is wireless I will guide you through the steps to resolve the error "offline."

    Step 1: Remove the network copy:

    Because the offline version of the network printer is not printing at all, I'll have you remove this copy.

    1. Open your menu Start by selecting the Windows icon at the bottom left of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your keyboard to the right of the Ctrl key
    2. On the start screen, type devices and printers
    3. Click on devices and printers to the start
    4. In the printers and devices window, locate your copy HP Envy 5532 e-all-in-one printer (network) . Right-click on the network your printer copy and select "delete" or "remove an instrument."
    5. The only 5532 envy you want to display in this folder is the USB version.
    6. Once the network copy has been deleted please close the devices folder and printers

    Step 2: Check of connectivity:

    Then, I will be having you check if your computer and printer communicate on the wireless network.

    1. On the front panel of your HP Envy, tap the Setup (key) button at the top right
    2. Under the Setup menu, touch Wireless option
    3. Touch Wireless details
    4. Take note of The IP address and the network name SSID
    5. On your computer Windows 8.1 Please check the wireless network that you are connected to ensure that your computer and the printer are connected to the same network. Avoid to connect to networks of comments. Also make sure that your printer and computer are connected to a network of 2 ghz. If you have a double router band it can broadcast connection times 2 GHz and 5 GHz. Printers are not based on connections to 5 ghz. If you don't know how to check this, you may need to speak with your router manufacturer.
    6. When it was confirmed that your printer and computer are on the same network, please open the internet browser on your computer
    7. In the address bar of please enter the printers IP address. Don't include not the www.
    8. Search this site. A Web site for your printer should now open. This is what we call the integrated webserver (EWS browser) printers
    • Opens a Web site for your printer: This confirms that your printer and your computer communicate successfully on the network. It is possible that the old copy of the printer on your computer network has a different IP address. If the IP address has changed on the printer, computers are designed to recognize this change and continue to work with your printer. However, in some cases computers will not 'see' the network printers more. In this case your printer will remain "offline" until the IP address under the software has been updated. Please proceed to step 4 below.
    • If a Web site for your printer does not open: This indicates that your printer and computer are not communicating. This may be due to your router blocks the communication, or invalid wireless configuration. Please proceed to step 3 below to resolve this issue.

    Step 3: Powercycle network:

    1. Start by unplugging the power cable to your router
    2. Once your router is unplugged, turn your printer off
    3. Then, shut down your computer
    4. After 30 seconds to 1 minute, reconnect your router
    5. Then, turn on your printer
    6. Turn on the computer

    After a few moments, please check your computer to make sure that your internet connection is running again. Try browsing a few sites. Once the internet is to answer it please access the menu of configuration (key) on your printer again. In the Wireless menu please see wireless details and take note of the IP address. Once you have the IP address please try to access the site of the printers on your computer using the IP address.

    • If a Web site for your printer now opens correctly: That your printer and your computer communicate wirelessly once more. There is likely an update ran on your network that temporarily blocked the printer. Please proceed to step 4 below.
    • If a Web site for your printer still fails to open: Please see the Setup menu (key) on the front panel of your printer. Depending on the configuration of the menu go to Wireless menu. Select restore default network settings in the wireless Menu. Once the default network settings have been restored, please go to the Wireless Setup Wizard and follow these steps to reconfigure your printer. Once you have an IP address on your printer try to access the site of printers again. Should open a Web site now for your printer please proceed to step 4 below. If a Web site still fails to open, please do not continue troubleshooting at the moment.

    2. once the software HP opens click utilities top

    3. click on the software and the configuration of the printer

    4. Select 'connect a new device '

    My printer is not printing. It say problem connecting to the server, connection error server and printer offline. I have a HP photosmart printer and windows 7.

    You have McAfee? McAfee has been updated at the same time as the last batch of updates from Windows 7 and it seems to be the cause of this problem for most, if not all, users.

    See the communication from this "criticism" - McAfee

    Some customers may experience a loss of network connectivity and/or errors in McAfee Security Center after a recent update

    You should make the fix McAfee, if necessary. There are corresponding communications for their enterprise products.

    I got McAfee, but the connection has started working again on its own so I thought I was clear of problems. However, when I checked it says he was doing routine checks the updates in vain when I told it to do a manually. So stick with McAfee you don't follow their procedure of fix would have upgraded my PC at risk by not updated and, like other McAfee ads have since explained, the application did not refer to its database of threats correctly [and this could explain part of the variability of the symptoms of failure but all involved loss of internet connection]. Actually, I removed McAfee then installed Microsoft Security Essentials rather & my answer IE is faster I knew it [even though I had the Add-ons McAfee disabled for centuries].

    I had to run the removal of McAfee Development tool a few times before and it caused a problem with the license if the PC was not connected to the internet during the abduction. Due cat of McAfee support reset their files in order to allow the relocation-reactivation. Here is their link cat - McAfee - media contains the link to the cat

  • What is the cost of printing 4 x 6 at home using Photosmart printer?

    I have a Photosmart c410a, with whom I love-hate relationship.

    One thing I hate it's the cost of ink cartridge. HP 564 is supposed to get a return of 250 sheets. I'm sure they have a way of convoluted calculation of performance with prints and notes, because I am never able to print more than 30 photos of 4 x 6 with regular (not XL) set of cartridges HP 564.

    Now, a 4 x 6 print to the Walgreen's costs $.20 if you pick up. It is even less if get you it by post or order a lot. My calculation of back-of-the-envelope told me that printing photos at home using this c410a greedy ink at least not make economic sense. A profit to pay the premium to be able to print at home, however, is that sometimes color Walgreen is really off - on average, c410a produces much better colors - and if can fix immediately if the trace does not match your taste for some reason any.

    So, what is a Photosmart printer comes down to? Not a way to save cost visa-vis premium Walgreens/CVS but paying to be able to get a printed photo when you want?

    Hi again

    I can't try to get some info from c410a PS. That's what I could for the C510 PS just as a reference. I'll dig around to see what I can get for your model...
