IMac stay connected to the printer

I bought a HP Photosmart C310 Wi - Fi.  I got it all working with a small defect.  The IMac will print to him once and then the next time show printer as "offline".  The two PC see it very well all the time.  If I turn printer off and on again, Imac prints anything in Quebec, then reads ready until you want to print again.  He then tries to locate the printer and then comes with offline.  IMac reads and remains connected to the router wireless internet access.  Also, I am new to the Mac world, am looking for solutions.  Someone told me it?

I did the reset.

I found my problem.  I guess I thought that given that the computer had located the printer she had 'found' all the right settings.  In a way trail and error, I found that I had to change the Protocol when adding the printer.  I had not noticed the drop-down date menu button (go figure).  Changed to "HP Jetdirect - socket.  Default value is 'Line Printer Daemon - LPD'.

Thank you for your time and your suggestions.

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8620: IMAC loses the connection to the printer

    Computer do not print and seems to lose the connection to the printer. I deleted all printers and made a new connection to the printer. Printer address 192.168.0.14.  IMAC later loses the connection to the printer again. I look at address on printer and now is 192.168.0.15. Its done this several times. So why the printer continue to change its address? Is it possible to put it permanently?

    Think I fixed it now. Problem was that I also had to set the Configuration of DNS address. Of course although computer knew the address of the printer, he could not find the server (i.e. the router) don't understand everything, but seems to work now.

    Went to the printer the webserver integrated with my Web browser. On the network, wireless 802.11, IPv4 configuration tab, I already had the manual IP, the subnet mask and the default gateway. I need to go to the next Section under the DNS Configuration, select "Manual DNS Server", then fill in the news for "Manual preferred DNS server".

    AllOf the above address were extracted from the information sheet, you can print directly from the front panel of the printer. My son who is more Apple savy than I am, said that he did not understand why I had to put an IP address manual for printer even when that she would have remained the same.  I don't either, but just know whenever IMAC my wife lost the connection to the printer IP address had changed.  My router is built with the Modem cable provided by the company. It is perhaps part of the problem.

    So no, it seems to be fixed number. So if you set a manual IP address, make sure that you also specify a "preferred DNS server"

    Thanks for your help

  • Laptop computer connecting to the printer connected to the Airport Extreme

    I will soon buy a MacBook Pro laptop and I'm interested in the way in which I connect to the printer connected to my iMac through my Airport Extreme.

    Unfortunately, you don't specify how the printer is connected to the iMac, but let's guess that's via USB.

    On your iMac...

    Open the preferences system (gear on the dock icon)

    Open the share

    Enter a check mark in the box next to printer sharing

    Close the window

    Now, do the same for the MacBook Pro

    Then, open Preferences system again on the MacBook Pro

    Click on printers and Scanners

  • Photosmart B210e stay connected to the PC (wireless)

    Hello

    I'll give you my specs first:

    HP Windows 7 64 bit hard PC connected to the security of WPA-PSK/w N + Router Belkin Wireless.  The printer is connected to the network wireless about 15 feet from the router.

    I have problems with my Photosmart B210e stay connected to my computer.  The only way I can get my computer to see my printer is to restart the printer.  After the printer starts I can print from my computer for about 10 minutes.  After that the computer can no longer maintain a connection with the printer.  According to the screen on the printer, I'm always connected to the network, but when I try to print I always get an error to the effect of the computer cannot establish a connection with the printer.  I have to restart the printer if I want to print again.  I don't have another computer to install the printer, but I can send an e-mail to my printer from my phone which will print when my computer does not see my printer.

    I had the printer for a little over a year and it has always done.  I don't post things very often, but I still don't think it is necessary to be able to the printer whenever I want to print cycle.

    According to the Product Support page there is an update for my printer.  When I try to update the printer from the screen, he says: my printer is up to date.  I tried to update several times and it has NEVER been an option to update, so unless that updates are automatically applied I'm not sure why my printer cannot find the update.  On the product page there are also drivers of the 11/2010.  I bought my printer from Best Buy in 01/2011 so I don't know if I have the latest drivers.  However when I try to download and install the installation always fails me give no description as to why it failed.  He told me then it downloads a solution to the problem and installs an icon on my desktop.  As soon as I click on this icon, it says that it cannot be used because there is no internet connection, which is not true because I can open a browser and surfing very well.

    -J' tried to activate power saving mode that didn't work.

    -J' I attmepted to run the HP network diagnostic utility.  If I run it, as soon as I start the printer it works and shows that there are no errors, if I wait 10 minutes and try to run it does not find my printer.

    -J' I attmepted my printer of the assign a static IP address, I still have the same issues

    I'd appreciate any help that could be given, thanks for your time.

  • iMac cannot connect to 7520 printer (wired) - after six months of work very well.

    My Photosmart 7520 worked fine for six months - cables for iMac, wireless for Mac Book and iPad.

    Suddenly, the iMac to which it is connected, unable to connect to it.  Then, of course, the other devices in the House cannot connect wirelessly is.

    1. total stop did not help.  Printers, sometimes he showed a light yellow, sometimes shown green and slowed down... but sending print jobs made back to "unable to connect".

    2 remove the printer from the list, and since the iMac can't find it, I now have nothing.

    3. I can't do a reset of the printer because I lost the driver for my old Perfection 2400 scanner.

    I have never been able to activate the web services.  That this has something to do with it?

    Help. Sandy

    Hi Sandy,

    Sorry to hear that there are some problems with your connection to the printer Photosmart HP 7520.  If you don't mind not could you please answer a few questions that might help me understand what could happen.

    The 7520 Photosmart printer has an Ethernet (wired network) port, in "wired", I'll assume you mean that the printer is connected to your iMac via USB cable.  You the first thing I would try is to unplug the USB cable to the back of the printer and taking again and then do the same thing at the back of the iMac.  I know that sometimes because of the angle of the cables, they can be loosened.  See if the iMac can then "see" the printer.

    You can remove the printer from the printers and Scanners, system preferences, selecting the printer in the list on the left, then pressing the key less at the bottom of the list.  This should in no way affect or not wearing your Epson Perfection 2400 is always configured in your PC.

    Can you please tell me if your iMac is on the (access point) network as your MacBook and iPAD?

    When you use your iPAD to print, it can "see" the printer (you can select or it appears by name)?

    Finally, if you tap the wireless on the front panel of the printer, it should display the IP address of the printer.  Your MacBook when it is connected to your wireless network, open Safari and type http:// and the address of the printer showed you.  Safari open the page Web of the printer or a mistake?

    Thank you

  • iPhone will not stay connected to the internet?

    * Posted on MacRumors forums but no answers *.

    So basically since a few days my phone sometimes don't remain not connected to the internet network of BT-Hub3. I connect to it and then sometimes, it will stay connected for a minute for a few seconds and then disconnect. When I go to the wifi thing it seems available to connect to. After a couple of times that to happen, it will say wrong password (this is the password) and disconnect me and then I have to type the password. Repeat to infinity. It's honestly so frustrating.

    Sometimes it will stay and be fine but his is happened twice in the last few days and never happened before with any phone I've had.

    I try my phone with my BT-Hub4 internet network and it will stay connected. The only problem with this is that the internet is further (bottom), so has a low connection that does not charge anything unless I lean on my bed.

    Initially, I assumed my internet pick, but I'm typing this I am connected to the network BT-Hub3 without disconnect him, even once.

    I had the phone for a year and 2 months (previous owner had since October/November/December in the year of release) and recently got a replacement of the unofficial battery if this of any help. I also still have my phone on the low power mode. The phone always properly connect to the BT-Hub3 network even with unofficial battery and low power however mode.

    I had several other problems with the phone (camera, apps download not heat no reason apparent, random battery drains despite the new battery in just 3 months and has the same problem with the battery, slow Touch ID that apparently is not normal), which most recently happened.

    I had all the settings to reset a week or two ago but surely if who messed with my settings internet I would have had the internet issue earlier? Not sure if I should try to reset the network settings. I hate this and only do if I need to.

    One last note, I have the latest version of iOS so ignore saying his 9.3.2 on

    Hi pinkdolphins0400,

    Thanks for posting in the communities of Support from Apple! I understand that you are having problems with your iPhone does not stay connected to your internet connection at home. I use my home Wi - Fi network to stay connected, so I use all the cell data, if I can understand wanting to make sure that you are able to stay in touch. I am pleased to provide you with a few suggestions for you.

    The first thing I recommend you do is follow the steps described in the following article. It seems that you have already experienced some of these steps, but I want to be sure that you have covered everything.

    If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch connects to a Wi - Fi network

    Since you mentioned that your iPhone will stay connected to your network to another, you can take a look at the network settings for the one that you are having problems staying connected to. Article below provides information about network configurations suggested for Apple devices. You can also check with the manufacturer for your BT 3 - Hub see if there are updates that must be performed. This can cause problems with disconnects.

    Recommended settings for the WiFi routers and access points

    For other problems you mentioned (apps do not download, camera, battery draining, contact ID, etc.) reset settings was a big step in troubleshooting to try. If these things are always happening, I recommend making a backup of your iPhone and then restore it via iTunes. The backup will ensure that your data is saved. When you perform the restore via iTunes, you'll want to set up as a new device (temporarily), and then test it. Once you test, you can try to restore your backup. You can find all of the information below, you will need.

  • Satellite C660 now does not connect to the printer via Bluetooth

    I have a very small domestic network - 2 of the Satellite C660 using Windows 7 Home premium and a printer Photosmart more connected through BT Home Hub work all fine until a computer laptop suddenly cannot connect with the printer, well located 1 m from each other.

    Connection Internet is fine - and another laptop works perfectly. Message from the printer on statement failed, on examination, it simply records as "error."

    Any ideas of solution?

    Hello

    From this point it's hard to say what's wrong.
    In my opinion, you must reset all settings and configure the connection to the printer again.
    Reinstall the software that you have installed in the past.
    Also recommend check that the support from the manufacturer printer pages a few FAQ, HowTo, etc...

    Since your laptop can connect to the internet properly, it cannot be a laptop problem

  • Cannot stay connected to the network, even after replacing my old router.

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L655 is one year old and its operating system is Windows 7 home Premium I have Comcast internet service and use a NetGear wireless router.

    Recently, about 2 months ago I got this router in Comcast, in replacement of my old 1. Why I asked that a new router was the former 1 had problems to stay connected to the internet. The problem persisted even with the new router so I look at it is not not a problem with Comcast or the router. I tried resetting the connection, the son, restart the router, diagnostics running on my laptop and are not yet able to resolve the problem. I run disc optimization, defragment the hard drive, run many virus / spyware scans and tried to disable startup programs as much as possible. This problem has frustrated me for months and I want to get it resolved. It sucks paying all that money for equipment and service and there not work directly without having to spend more money, which I have unfortunately not yet. Any help is very appreciated.

  • Unable to connect to the printer via IP address

    I changed my ISP (internet service provider) and therefore changed routers - now unable to connect to the printer.
    I put a static IP address on my HP Photosmart B110a printer before we changed to ISP because there are connection problems. When we were setup to the ISP again, we are unable to connect to the printer, such as the printers IP 192.168.1.12
    The new network ISP IP range is 192.168.0.xx and printers address IP is out of the network.
    I can print via the USB cable but I can't return to my printers GUI by entering 192.168.1.12 return the printer back from the static IP address.
    A hard reset for this printer would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello
    I solved the problem. The answer was staring face heres so my solution for someone who has had similar problems.
    I didn't dig up the old router that affects the 192.168.1.xx IP network and then connected my PC, connected my printer then connected printers user interface through the static IP address, I assigned earlier. Changed to automatic IP. Connected my new router (which assigns the IP addresses of 192.168.0.xx) to my PC and printer. Everything is now OK.
    Thank you.

  • Windows cannot connect to the printer. The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.

    A Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2 32-bit computer is a field, the file and print server.

    A computer on the domain is a machine of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit with HP DesignJet 500 24 printer connected via USB.  The printer is running the latest firmware.  The PC is running the latest 64-bit drivers with no problems to the host machine printing.  The host also has the latest drivers 32-bit (x 86) installed by downloading by other computers on the network.  The printer is configured to share with the share name of HPDJ500.

    Now, on a machine Windows XP Pro SP3 32 bit on the field, I'm trying to connect to the shared printer.  Add a printer > click Next in the wizard of > check "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer" and then click Next > click on "Find a printer in the directory", then click Next > click Find now > HPDJ500 in the list below (the XP machine can see the shared printer on the Windows 7 computer!) and click OK.  At this point, I get an error that says: "Windows cannot connect to the printer.  The name of the printer has been correctly entered, or the specified printer has lost its connection to the server.  For more information, click Help. »

    Alternatively, if I right-click on the HPDJ500 printer listed, then click on connect, I get the same error message but I also see a separate window that says "Connecting to HPDJ500 on H2.ws.net" with the lively projector.  This window also disappears as soon as I clear the error message.

    Please note that this printer worked perfectly as a printer shared, hosted on a machine XP 32 bit on the field.  It works perfectly for the new Windows 7 64-bit machine, but we cannot connect from anywhere else on the network (including the server which translates the same exact error message).  On the server, I also preinstalled drivers thinking there was a problem with a 32-bit computer, trying to grasp the correct drivers from the host 64-bit Windows 7, but that doesn't change anything.

    How connect to this printer?

    Try using the path UNC path of the printer in the Add Printer Wizard.

    Add a printer > network printer > connection to this printer ((deuxieme point)

    Click next to browse (leave blank, the name field) or type the UNC path of the printer (i.e. \\Computername\Printername) path
