• HP Officejet 4630 series: printing error

  Hello

  My printer was fine until 'Windows10 update 1607' has been downloaded on my desk a few days ago. Now every time I try to print anything for my computer. Status reports "error-printing".  I ran the trouble shooter print a test page, I printed a report of diagnosis of HP print and Scan doctor. Everything seems fine, but it always brings a printing error. So now I'm re-printing a document, it now says "printing" on the device, but it feels very, very slow, 10 minutes and it's still printing the first page. What can I do to fix this?

  Your help in this matter is much appreciated!

  Welcome to the community @BeeAnn HP

  I saw your post on the slow printing problem and wanted to do some of my own suggestions.

  You can try the following:

  1 reset the printer, then restart the computer. Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.

  Turn on the printer.

  With the printer, unplug the power cord at the back of the unit.

  Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

  Wait at least 15 seconds.

  Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.

  Reconnect the power cord to the back of the unit.

  If the printer does not by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

  2 run printing scanning and Dr.

  3 try to make copies to see if they are too slow. If they are, then it's showing us that there is a problem with the hardware with the printer.

  4. Uninstall and reinstall the printer driver and software.

  Let me know how make you out!

• HP Officejet Pro 276dw: printer is no longer connected to the internet.

  Via the web browser, I indicated (no doubt) that the administrative tasks have been banned from the control panel. Subsequently, identify yourself via the control panel is not possible.

  But today, I accidentally disable network functionality of my printer (also via the web browser).

  Result: through the browser I have more access to administrative tasks, because 'https://192.168.x.xxx' is unreachable! And as we have already mentioned, restore the network via the Control Panel also connection is not possible. Even restore factory settings is not possible.

  This wrong manipulation happened while I was testing the possibilities via webbrowser.

  Furthermore, I use Linux OS and works with the hplip driver, and I think that the DVD does not a recovery for Linux program?

  But I would be very grateful to HP when someone can help me.

  Is there a way to reset the printer via the hardware?

  Or is there another possibility to restore the network connection on my printer?

  HI Kristoffel,

  On your printer, please try and press 4 times the arrow to the left to access the Help menu. From there, navigate to find the factory reset option. Please let me know if you do not find this menu.

• My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on. I want to reconfigure it so that it does not turn

  My printer is configured to start when the computer turns on.  I want to reconfigure it so that it won't turn.  I know this is probably a simple change, but I can't find the path anywhere.  Any help?

  I guess you do NOT mean that you have both printer and computer plugged into the same power strip and both are turn on when you turn on the power strip.

  As nearly as I can determine the rather thin material in the Guide for the Dell P713w user, probably have enabled "Eco-Mode" or the mode 'sleep '.  See page 19 of the User Guide (if you don't have it, download it here: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/PRN_P713w/en/index.htm).

  When this feature is enabled, the printer goes into mode low power when it has been idle for a while.  When the computer is off, the printer is by definition inactive and so will go to low power, shortly after that the computer is turned off.  When the computer is turned on, it detects the presence of the printer and connects to the printer.  Apparently, the printer interprets this string as the "no-idle" and out of his low-power mode, which appears as if it is "turn on."

  In addition, this printer performs an automatic maintenance cycle every week if it is plugged into a power outlet. It will briefly exit Power Saver mode or turn on temporarily if it is disabled.

  At least one of the lights on the printer flashes power on and off when you think that the printer is turned off?  If so, it is in energy saving mode.

  Of course, I may be totally wrong, but it seems to me if you actually turn off the printer by pressing the button on / off on screen, he should not be able to auto (except once / week maintenance cycle).  From the Manual:

  Note: When the printer is turned on, press [power] to switch to the power saving mode. Press and hold [power] for 3 seconds to turn off the printer.

• HP Officejet Pro 6830: HP Officejet Pro 6830 - unable to connect to the computer

  Hello

  I just replaced my Officejet6500 with an Offiejet 6830

  I have lived throughout the configuration stage until the software looked for the printer and it cannot be found. the printer is confirmed as connected to the same network as the computer's wireless so I don't know why it is not to be discovered

  Any help would be appreciated

  Thank you very much

  Mike

  Hey @mfbar,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that printer e-all-in-one Officejet 6830 and your Mac OS x 10.10 machine are not communicating. I can help you with that.

  To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

  Turn the printer off.

  While the printer is turned off, remove the power cord at the back of the router for a minute.

  When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.

  Now on the printer, click on the wireless icon that looks like a radio tower.

  • If the IP address starts with 169.254, the printer is not getting a valid IP address. Contact your internet provider or one that provided you with the router for assistance in ensuring the router assigns IP addresses.
  • If the IP address starts with 172, the printer is connected to a network of comments. Contact your internet provider or one that provided you with the router for assistance with deactivation of the feedback network.
  • If the IP address begins with 192.168, the printer is properly connected to the network. Please see below.
  • If the IP address begins with any other number, the network is maintained. Contact your computer or the one who manages the assistance network.

  Once the above is done, if the Mac is still not able to detect the printer then the next step is to contact your internet provider or the one who provided the router. When you do, ask them to:

  • Open all ports.
  • Select multicast.
  • Disable MAC filtering/MAC cloning.
  • Make sure that the router has a band of 2.4 GHz (gigahertz).

  Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to connect to your printer, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

• 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

• Problem adding network printers; received this message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» »

  Hello

  I have a Windows XP pro (Lenovo) that I recently ran the recovery and returned to certain configurations of 1.5 years. Now I can't add a network printer and get always the message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» ». I ping the printer and all on my network can add these printers, it's just that a machine that fails to add network printers.

  I disabled the firewall, but were still unable to add the printer. Then I found some difficulties to register for a similar problem, but they were not useful... It really becomes a big headache, especially Windows restore does not work...

  I strongly suspect that 1.5 years, someone has renamed the printer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the print server through My Network Places and see what it's callednow .  Otherwise, you could ask your network/system administrator.  You should know...

  Hello

  So I'm working on a LT desire that has been upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10 recently and it is this message on the login screen "the device is not connected to the computer. Insert the authentication device. We can't identify what it means or what needs to be done to clear the screen. The user States that the fingerprints of impression of BIO sensor doesn't seem to work either. I looked in the Device Manager, and I see a Synaptics PS sensors (WBF) listed here and is properly installed. I even updated the driver of sensor ep on the support site of the desire, and we still see on the login screen.

  Y at - it no information or help to clear this message?

  We also note that the number on the keypad lock seems to be disabled during startup of windows 10 upwards. Before on windows 8.1 has been activated. Is there any setting to 10 to keep the active number lock.

  The user says if 10 can be made to work well, then we can go back to 7 or 8.

  Please notify.

  Thank you for your time.

  Seems to have been resolved in re - install the software HP Simple pass then go and reconfigure the settings. Message no longer appears on 10. User LT installed with 7 however. Best decision.
