Mac does not see my printer "J611a"?

Hello

I have connected my printer to my router (it shows the name of the correct router if I run a config report), but does not see the printer on my Mac (when it is wireless).  Everything works fine if I connect to my Mac with a USB port.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.  Stuart.

Hi SRJC

I understand that you cannot set up the printer on the wireless network.

For me looks that you connect the USB cable from the printer to the router. Generally this method will not work.

You need to configure the wireless through the printing software and add the printer on Mac.

Given that the printer works via the USB on the Mac already then you can follow these steps:

  1. Click OK in the Menu bar above and then click Applications .

  • installation does not see the printer when I plug

    I have a printer HP LaserJet, 1006 running on a Windows XP 32 - bit attached to a USB1 port system. I have no USB2 ports. The printer works fine, but the drivers are up to date. I downloaded the file (hp_LJ_P1005_P1505_Full_Solution_ROW.exe) and when I run it, and it gets to the point where it tells me to connect my printer, I plug in and turn on and nothing happens. Apparently the installer does not see when I turn on my printer. The problem would be that it is plugged into the port of USB1 and if so what do about it?

    Sorry must have misread your first message.  Before trying to reinstall the software, make sure that the printer and the old software is uninstalled.  The installer can be easily confused by older facilities, in order to ensure that those who are cleaned before installing the latest orders.  Hope that helps.

  • Install HP does not see the printer in network, Windows DOES. Help!

    Hello

    I am trying to add my HP Officejet k8600dn to Windows 7 (32 bit) so I can scan, but the HP Installer (add device) can not see the printer. The unit is set up by cable to a switch on my network via an ethernet cable. If I go into the menu "Add a printer" Windows, I can install the printer very well. But I have to be able to scan and I don't know what to do.

    Tips on getting functional analysis if the HP software is unable to see my printer? Subnet mask and gateway on the printer are the same for the computer and the printer. I typed the correct IP address in the "Add a device" menu of HP, but he sees not just it. ARRGG!

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I think that there is some confusion because the Officejet k8600dn is only a printer, it is not a multifunction device and does not provide the capability of scanning.

    You can find the specifications below:

    If you have any different model printer, please specify the exact model.

  • Photosmart 5510 MacBook Pro with OS 10.9 does not see the printer on the network

    Continues to give the error message that the printer is offline... in the process of installing it says successful implemented, but impossible to find the printer on the network... I has not changed anything, unless there was an automatic update done some part/sometimes recently... it was working fine.  The self-test on the printer wireless past everything!  iMac and iPad see & print!

    Please help me!

    Oh, Yes, it appears in the list of devices printer twice: once HP 5510 series when connected by USB, and once as 77 has 267 with everything what unknown IP connection but State... is one that says offline and cannot be found on the network.

    I tried all the steps listed in the proposals of the forum without success.

    Hi msdok,

    I understand that the printer is appearing offline even if you can print from the iPad and iMac. I see your message that you have already done some troubleshooting, but I'm not sure what you tried. I recommend using the steps below if you don't have it already.

    Reset the printing system

    1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.
  • HP photosmart 7510-e & mac does not connect to print;

    Recently successfully installed HP photosmart 7510-e all in one printer on wireless home safe and functional very well. Today press & won't print. Printed from the other laptop, but not mine. performed tests & said my Macbook pro says unknown device wireless. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall or another problem? Thank you.

    Thanks for the quick reply PrintDoc.

    I tried what you suggested, nothing works.  However, I noticed when scrolling down to the network default reset is there a way to manually assign an IP address.

    It took a lot of play, but ultimately, what worked was.

    1. Reset default network settings
    2. Manually set the IP address and the address of the DHCP server (DHCP address was wrong)
    3. Reserve the IP address of the router (so it's not assign this address to another device)
    4. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard

    I'm running now.

    Thank you!

  • OJ 8500 A910 Pro - iPhone does not see the printer on the network?

    I have my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A910 connected to my wireless network.  The printer found the network and now has an IP address.  My iPhone is also connected to the wireless network.  I can see both devices on the router.

    When I walked into photos and try to print a photo, he says to choose a printer.  When I click on choose, I get "No Printers Found.

    Any thoughts?

    Hey k9rescue!

    Sorry to hear that you are having a problem with AirPrint. What iOS version are you running? And what iPhone model do you have?

    Additionally, if you are unsure that your device supports AirPrint, try to turn your bluetooth off and see if the printer appears.

    Let me know if it helps!

  • Samsung S5 does not see the printer wireless

    I just bought this printer last night, I put in place using a laptop that sits on the wireless network and the laptop connects to the printer very well via wifi.  I downloaded the app HP AIO Remote for android phone went through the setup and when it gets to the point of looking for and finding the printer says that no printers are.  I tried to restart the phone, uninstall and reinstall the application, I tried HP ePrint app and still no luck.  The notebook computer always connects to the printer and my office to connect via USB.  I use the good app?  Is there something that I am missing?  Help, please!

    Hello

    No, your printer must be on a wireless network WITH the Samsung, otherwise your Samsung can't see. You can use a direct impression, but you need to your printer supports this feature.

    The easiest way: connect your printer to your network home woreless and all devices in your House can share the printer. Moreover, what is your printer?

  • my computer does not "see" my printer

    I used my computer dell laptop with XP and my HP470 mobile printer for a year.  All of a sudden, it just connect and my printer... or vice versa.  It says that my printer is not connected.  I need to know how to solve this problem.

    The HP OfficeJet 470 portable printer can be connected to your computer by wifi (1), (2) Bluetooth or USB cable (3).  Who do you use?

    If you tell me how you want to connect the printer to the computer, I'll read the manual and give directions.  If you just want you read the manual and skip the intermediaries, go here:http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01272430.pdf

    If you use the wifi (no Bluetooth), you have a wireless router or just connect to the printer in "ad hoc" mode (it would be more frequent if you use the printer in a hotel room, for example)?

    You share the printer with multiple computers on your local network?

    You will probably need to print the following pages:

    Diagnostic printer page: press and hold the Power button and press the "resume" button (down arrow, secondly the left button) 4 times

    The printer configuration page: press and hold the Power button and press the button "cancel" (X, most left button) 4 times.

    Configuration page of the WiFi and Bluetooth: press and hold the Power button and press the 'Cancel' button 2 times, and then press the "resume" button 7 times [I guess HP really wants to make sure that you don't do that by chance!]

  • The computer does not see the printer (4200 Officetjet) after downloading the driver full features

    Officetjet 4215xi, Windows 7-64.

    Try to use the original HP CD-ROM driver was unsuccessfil, message telling him did not meet the requirements.  Then, I chose to install the driver directly from Windows 7.

    After installing that shows to be successful (the impressions of the printer), I wanted to get the center of HP solutions on the computer and I downsloaded the driver, choose Officetjet 4210 (4215 wasn't a choice available).

    It seems that the installation has been done, there is an icon on the desktop but when clincking it says that the printer is not connected.

    I unplug the USB cable, restart the computer and replugged the USB at the back of the printer.  No results.

    How can I work around this problem.  Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    The HP Officejet 4615xy is no longer included with the full functionality of feature for Windows 7.

    Any driver you may have used is not intended for your printer and not detect...

    You can find the information for your printer below:

    I'm afraid that plenty of advanced features as the HP solution Center is not available for the operating system...

  • On the mac does not... and Brother printer does not print

    I think this goes back to my installation of El Capitan, but I'm not entirely sure. I do not use my iMac very strongly, as it was purchased as a family computer to replace one another iMac which was about 8-10 years of age and just couldn't keep up with software updates more. It lies in our dining room and gets probably one or two times a day in the evening to access the web and do basic home computing tasks.

    In any case, I have two problems that have become worrying and annoying. 1. "about this Mac" does not open. Nothing happens when I try to select it. (Choose "System Profiler" utility does not work also, but it gives an error message that says: it can not be opened). 2. My Brother HL-2280DW printer do not print, but this interferes with a message "Filter failed" when I try to print anything.

    Any thoughts on the resolution of these issues? I have read several posts here from people with similar problems, but nothing I've done has solved a problem. I have reset the time system 2 or 3 printing AND updated my database of website of Brother printer drivers, but I still get that filter has no message.

    A little more details on my system - there are three users currently put in place. My husband has two user accounts (both with permissions 'standard') which should really be combined somehow, but I took no steps to do yet because I want to get these other issues ironed out. My user account is the admin account. I mention this because I tried to access "about this Mac" and printing of all user profiles three and no thing works in one of the profiles. Regarding the statistics of the system, it is a 21.5-inch iMac bought in April 2015 with the following configuration:

    2.7GHz Quad - core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.2 GHz
    16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB
    1 TB drive merger
    Intel Pro Iris graphics card

    I use a WD My Passport Ultra drive for backup with Time Machine, but it is not currently connected. I have a backup successful yesterday then I would be willing to work on any change of system that might be needed to solve these problems. I really don't want to have to reinstall the operating system, but I will if it is necessary. Thanks in advance for the help with this!

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    HD recovery start: restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

    Repair the hard drive and permissions: at startup, select in the main menu disk utility. Repair hard disk and permissions as follows.

    When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than Wi - Fi and more reliable.


  • My Mac does not recognize my PSC 1610 all-in-one printer.

    All of a sudden my mac does not recognize my 1610 printer all-in-one.  I think it may have something to do with the system 10.8.2 upgrade but I'm not sure.  I followed the instructions and uninstalled and reinstalled the software.  Software update does not seem to think that miss me anything, no update is listed.  Nothing has changed other that the OS and I use this computer and the printer for 3 years.  No printer appears in the list of system preferences.  Error when I try to print is 'not connected printer.

    Hi beaumast,

    Have you tried using a USB cable?

    If you tried it on your friends computer and got the same experience there is a possibility that the USB port on the printer has malfunctioned. Here are some links that you may find interesting if you consider upgrading your printer.

  • ENVY 4520: Computer does not see section scanner WANT

    Last weekend, I bought a 4520 want TO replace a malfunctioning Lexmark all in one. I quickly learned that the software for this printer avaulable was not available for Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion). However, I followed the instructions on the Apple and this site and downloaded the appropriate drivers for the 4500 series. I am able to print wireless from my Mac, but when I attempy yo scan, the 4520 does not appear. In fact, printing and control panel Scan sees not the 4520 otherwise than as a printer no scan option available. Utility HP 'sees' the fevice but offers no adjustment of parameters. The application of scanning HP, does not see it no more.

    While printing is the main reason I bought this unit, the scan function is also valuable and I would like to be able to use it. Of course the current HP software does not support my Mac and OS (Lion) - are there any ear; first versions of installation scanning software partitions. If not, do you have suggestions for () maybe) generic software that will allow me to use the scanner?

    Hi Colin,

    Sorry for the frustration you must be feeling.  I did some checking and confirmed that HP only provides drivers scan of your product on OS X 10.8 and later versions.  This product also supports the Apple AirPrint (scan) functionality, which allows you to scan without HP software, but still this support is only available on OS X 10.10 and later versions.

    I am not familiar with the features of 3rd party scan applications.  My only suggestion would be to consider upgrading the version of the OS on your Mac (if possible) because this opens up your options considerably.
