  Hello

  The first thing I would do is follow step 6 in this document to set a static IP address: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02817031
  When it askes for the DNS information, enter in Google DNS. Preferred DNS = DNS Alt = 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8

  This could increase the stability of the network connection to the printer downstairs.  If this does not help, let me know what OS is on the computer causing problem, because that could cause a problem?  Other than that, you can check the quality of the signal you get form the network and see if this can be a problem.

• printer cannot be contacted over the network

  I have a HP deskjet 656 printer that I added as a network printer. I installed it on my computer laptop windows 7, which went well. However it does not print. The touble shooter printer tells me to 'the printer cannot be contacted over the network. It works from another laptop I have but not my laptop Windows 7.

  I had a similar problem with my new Windows 7 laptop. After a power failure, the laptop would not recognize my HP printer and the error was that "the printer cannot be contacted over the network" so I spent a lot of time to solve the problem. Finally helped the simplest thing was that I removed this printer in my list of printers and added again using the "Add a printer" Wizard and it worked perfectly!

• HP DeskJet 3630: I can't get my printer to connect to wifi

  I set up my printer and I tried on my phone to connect to the wifi and it wouldn't work so I unplugged and moved closer to the wifi. Now wifi has the word "setup" that he disappeared and only WiFi it is requiring a password I don't know

  Hello

  Your printer has a direct wifi feature that is enabled by pressing the key direct wifi on the front panel. This allows to directly connect to the wifi local printers via a password. When looking for wifi networks on your ios device, you will see the name of the wifi printer - to get the password fo rthis hold direct of wifi on the front panel to the dryer and it should print on plain paper for you.

  The other option for the wireless connection (and the most effective if you have a router) is to connect your device ios and printer to your home wifi network. You need to connect your printer to a windows or mac to establish this connection - I have included a link to the Setup instructions for each below.

• I can't get any printer work with Windows XP too more.

  I can't get any printer to work with my computer which uses Windows XP.  I checked with the companies of the printer and it is not a driver problem.  In addition, these printers all work on other computers that use Windows XP.  In addition, they worked on my computer for years until a few weeks ago.  I have been informed by the technicians of the printer who checked my computer to verify that it was not a 'driver problem' that there is a problem of Microsoft XP. It seems that the part of XP that runs the divers feel is corrupt.  The print job will go to the print spooler, but it is never sent too the printer.  Anyone has the clues how too fix this?  Y at - it an XP patch that might do the trick?  Also, I tried a "System Restore" in several places and it was not fixed.

  Choose a printer and work to get this working.

  In the windows printers and faxes, you see a printer that is in line with a status if "ready" and are able to print a test page (right click, properties, print the Test Page). "

  If there is a jam in print job in the queue of XP, nothing will be printed until the jam is cleared.

  To clear the print queue, stop the print spooler service and delete all the jobs/print pending.
     
  You cannot delete all print jobs in the queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running.
        
  To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:
         
  services.msc
         
  Click OK to open the Services Applet.
         
  Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click and choose 'Properties' and then click on the "Stop" button to stop the Print Spooler Service is running.
     
  The option "Startup Type" of Service properties print spooler is usually set to "Automatic" (which is now a good time to check it out).
     
  If the "Startup type" is not set to "Automatic", set the "Startup type" to "Automatic" If that is your desire (which now is the time to check it out).

  Do not try to start or restart the Print Spooler Service immediately.  You must remove all print jobs backed up first...
     
  Then, delete all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send the to the printer again.
     
  Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
     
  C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
         
  Delete all the print jobs in queue (select and delete all the files) in the folder if the folder is without waiting for print jobs.  The folder must be empty when you are finished.
         
  Reboot your system and check the Print Spooler Service again to make sure the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically restart (given that the startup type is set to automatic).
     
  After the reboot, check again the Spooler Service for printing and the 'Status' column for the print spooler must be read "started."

  See if you can now print a Test Page.

  Submit new failure of print jobs.

• I can't get my printer to work

  I can't get my printer to work. It will not print anything it is on and connected but does not print.  A sign error appears when I click on printers and devices, and wrote that a document keeps the printer from printing, however, it's the doc that I just tried to print, so I cancel, and then it shows that the printer is ready, but when I try again, the same thing happens.

• HP Laserjet Pro M251nw color: How can I get my printer to work with Windows 10

  I can't get my printer to work, it is installed, I have updated the drivers, I get a message that it is not connected - I did it is certain

  Hi @jotsol,

  I see you are having problems printing from Windows 10. I'd love to help you.

  I wasn't sure if you meant that you run Windows Update to update the drivers or downloaded the last.

  I would say to uninstall all old software of the printer, if you updated to Windows 10. Then, download and install the latest drivers from HP. color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251 series full feature software and drivers.

  Download and run the print and Scan Doctor, he will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically.

  How is the printer connected? (USB, Ethernet, WiFi)

  What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

• HP Envy: I can't get my printer want print from my iPad or desktop.

  I can't get my printer to print from my computer. I reinstalled, does things for troubleshooting and can print ePrint but no Facebook, email or whatever it might be saved. Please help

  Hi @Dollgirl,

  Thank you for joining the HP Forums!

  I noticed your post that you can't get your HP Envy to print from your iPad or your office. I am pleased to see that for you!

  What is the model number for your HP Envy? How can I find my model or printer number?

  What is the operating system on the desktop, Windows or Mac? What version? http://www.whatsmyos.com.

  To confirm that the hardware of the printer is functional, you are able to make a copy with the glass of the scanner of the printer? Copy of Documents.

  In the meantime, please try a hard reset by following the steps in this post, How to perform a hard reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the power cable from the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector.

• Have recently updated mobile wifi, how can I get my printer to recognize my new wifi?

  Have recently updated mobile wifi, how can I get my printer to recognize my new wifi

  Original title: mobile WiFi

  You must be a little specific (brand, model, W7 version etc.) to get a helpful response, I think. Then someone with a similar configuration may be better able to help.

  You may be better to ask the support of the manufacturer of the printer wireless itself. However, this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/install-printer#install-printer=windows-7 and its related links gives the general idea.
