I've changed my SSID!

What a fool I am! Everything went very well with wireless printing and my shiny new Officejet J6480, and then one day, no particular reason, I decided to change the SSID of my router. The arrow, the two laptops lose their ability to print wireless.

What should do? I have to uninstall and then reinstall the software on the laptops? Or I can somehow get into the new SSID (nothing else has changed) somewhere?

Thanks for any help.

Tom

Hi Tom,

My name is harry and I got to know that you have been faced with the question of printing your printer wireless. Now, Tom, you tried to reinstall the software using the option where the printer is connected to your notebook using the USB cable and that is the reason for the printer is not getting detected on your laptop wireless. You must follow the below mentioned steps to get the printer connected wireless:

1. click on start, go to the windows printers and faxes and delete the printer icon if it is there after having disconnected the USB cable.

2. click on add a printer option.

3. it will start the Add assistant of the printer where it will give 2 options. First option will be local printer attached to this computer (Please uncheck automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer) and second option A network printer or a printer attached to another computer.

4. Select the first option. Click next

5. it will give you the option to select the Port on the computer.

6. Select the option create a Port.

7. Select Standard TCP/IP Port

8. click Add Port

9. it will start to add a wizard to Port and will ask you for the IP address of the printer

10. Enter the IP address. Complete the add a Port Wizard.

11. it will take you a window where you will be asked to select the name of the manufacturer on the left side and the name of the printer on the right side.

12. Select Hp and the name of the printer.

13 complete the add a Printer Wizard.

14 printer icon will appear. Print a document to check if the printer works fine or not.

Thanking you,

Harry.

  • Change printer ssid

    I have a new router and you need to change the ssid of the printer.  The printer is HP deskjet 3050 J610.  But there is no ethernet connection. Also, I can't find the installation cd for install again. I have run the wireless network test report, and it shows that the ssid is not found.  He still has the old ssid.

    Bean,

    Welcome to the HP Forum!

    You may be able to update the SSID of the printer front panel.

    Reference: HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-One Printer - user guide J610a

    ======================================================================================

    An easier option would be to reinstall the printer software.

    Web page for your printer: HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-One Printer - J610a drivers

    • Enter your operating system from the menu drop-down
    • Click NEXT and scroll down
    • Find the category driver - software product installation
    • Select the for Base driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
    • Save the *.exe installation package (s) on your computer

    The files will probably save in the "folder"downloads. "

    • If you have control of "Admin", you can highlight the package and "double-click on ' to install it, otherwise just right-click, select"Run as Administrator"and install.

    NOTE:

    Scroll down half of the Web page for your printer to find help from video that can help with installation.  Scroll through the list from left to right and locate the video that best fits your situation.

    Click on the star of congratulations !

    It's a nice way of saying 'Thank you' for help.

  • How can I change the SSID on my wireless printer. He has my old router ID.

    HP Photosmart Plus B 209

    Windows Vista 64-bit

    SSID was not found (I put it manually)

    I select the printer and then he said: "(imprimante sélectionnée n'est pas présent, connectez l'imprimante & réessayer)"

    Several times, I get the same message.

    But my printer will work hooked up to the USB key.

    My old router (Netgear) leaves so I bought a new.  Everything worked fine before.  Installed a new and my computer (HP laptop) worked well, went to use the printer... Finally uninstalled and installed, but would never go farthur than the above.  I don't know what to try more except that I printed the wireless network Test report and he tells me that the printer cannot find the wireless router.  I noticed that the SSID has the old name.   Also print the Page of Network Configuration of HP and see that he concluded l network, which is the new.  So, where can I change printer SSID?  I can't find where I can change it.

    Thank you

  • How can I change my SSID on a WRT400N?

    Each help topic I can find says you can edit these on the page "Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings ' of the web console.  However, when I do these values are not editable.  He pointed out the SSID and passphrase for each of the two groups, but I can't change the SSID.  And I have not found anywhere else I can modify it via the web console or LELA.

    I just need to change one of my SSID.

    Thank you

    On the pager configuration, click the Wireless tab. Here, select manual configuration and you can now change the SSID.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8100: change the ssid

    I recently tried the Hotspot to unite AT & T.  That has worked very well but not decided to take it and went back to my Airport base station and the old service provider.  When I tried to connect my printer to my network - a printer works fine but the HP Officejet Pro 8100 will not change back the Name (SSID) the name for the old SSID hotspot network.  Since I was a new AirBook Pro I have to connect the cable to a USB port and then run the utility for my printer and select network.  It does not connect.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your suggestion. I tried this many times and it would be not just to reset the ssid. So after writing my post, I tried pressing the wireless button and the on/off switch at the same time. I went to try out some other combinations and print the configuration page. He changed the ssid for the correct name. Of course then I had to do what you described. Go to the printer utility with the cable connecting the computer and the printer and click on network. It has finally connected and I unplugged the cable between the computer and the printer. No problems now. Thanks for responding so quickly and hope it helps someone else.

  • change the SSID

    Hello

    I was asked to rename the current SSID (data, voice, Fords 1) because they have weird names. We have 3 controllers (4402) and ~ 55 APs.

    Above all and change the SSID name for the particular WLAN want to ensure that customers will be able to reconnect correctly using the new SSID.

    First of all, I guess I have to disable the WIFI network to be able to change it.

    Can someone let me know if you need other things to consider as well as potential problem?

    Thank you

    Krisztián

    Hello

    You can't cange the name of an existing SSID SSID.

    If you want to use the different SSID name you will need to create a new SSID with the new name and your copy of case all existing SSID SSID settings.

    Regarding the current SSID, you can disable or simply delete if you no longer have to use it.

    But remember that this means that all clients associated with the previous SSID will be disconnected and will need to associate the new SSID.

    HTH,

    Hey Andy,

    You can try to enter the password in the section "WPA - PSK", instead of "WEP encryption" section, to see if it will work. It won't hurt to not test.

    Here are a few screenshots from another thread with someone who has the same issue which may help:

  • How can I change the SSID for my C4780 printer can find my wireless phone?

    I changed routers and got a new SSID.  Now I can't change it so the printer can find it.

    The best way to do this on a Mac would be to uninstall the printer completely and reinstall it with the CD or downloaded at HP software.

    Make sure you start by unplugging the USB cable.

    During installation, you can choose the option network and connect the USB cable when prompted.  Follow the prompts and it should get reconnected to the network.

    Here is a document from HP that details how to install this printer on a network.

    There may be other ways, but the lack of a configuration wizard wireless (due to the feature of the screen), makes the limited options.
