My printer will not be connected to the network

I found a few options in the Advanced menu of the printer which can be useful for various network connectivity problems that are often overlooked.

The provided screenshots are for a printer Envy 110 and an Officejet 6500 printer has, but many models in the same range of products have similar features.

For starters, get the IP address of your printer and load the printer in a web browser by entering the IP address as a web address.

Once it loads, you can get something similar to one of the screens below:

New Photosmart printer or Envy series:

To access this screen, navigate to network > advanced.

OfficeJet series printer or older photosmart printer:

To access this screen, navigate to network > advanced.

There are a few options on this screen below that are of interest.  The photosmart screen has a 802 use behavior. 11b network infrastructure and use an infrastructure network 802. 11b / g behavior options.  The first option will tell the printer to only operate in B wireless settings and second options tells operate with wireless B and G parameters.

Most routers are set to mixed mode which is B and G.  The second activation option can help maintain the wireless connection and is certainly worth trying to help eliminate some of the problems network there.

The Officejet screen has another option which is not available on each printer: in a network ad hoc Act bound even if others are not present.  Activate this option, if any, can help keep the printer stay connected.  Curiously, I've seen a few posts that this setting has helped with an infrastructure facility despite what says the setting.

I hope that this information will help you to solve and prevent some network problems.

  • P2V domain controller (for a test, the new virtual will not be connected to the network or used in production)

  • OfficeJet 7410 will not log on to the network because I can't change the security from WEP to WPA 2 Protocol

    I have a Mac powerbook G4 running OS 10.4.11 and a Wireless N Router with WPA 2 security protection extreme Apple.  My Officejet 7410 has suddenly lost its ability to join the network.

    Whenever I try to run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the 7410, it detects my network as a network available to join, but then asks me to enter a WEP password.  I get my password, the rotation of the gears on the screen of the printer for a minute or two, and then it displays that it is unable to join the network.

    Since the extreme Apple uses WPA 2 security protocols, is the reason why the printer is not able to join the network because of his attempts to use WEP protocols?  I did a complete reset of Semi and then a full Reset, nothing helps.  I also tried selecting the option 'restore factory settings' menu without success.

    I am able to connect to the printer using a USB cable, but the reason I bought it in the first place was because of the freedom of its wifi capabilities.

    Any suggestions?

    My suggestions were a few ways to tell your printer on the network.  They are temporary connections used for this communication, and then are disconnected.  After this would connect you to your printer on your wireless network.

    I think I know the problem: after reading the manual (new) it is specifically stated that this printer supports WPA but not WPA2. So make sure your airport the most practical (and Express) are set to WPA/WPA2 Personal utility Airport (not WPA2 Personal).

    Your printer is probably the check on Airport Extreme and not the Express, so the Express in bridged mode is fine - you want only a DHCP service on your network, so looks like it is set up correctly.

  • HP Officejet will not be connected to the wireless network?

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 wireless which will remain not connected to the network over a half hour or so, max.  My wife runs a laptop XP Pro and I have a Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard.  She NEVER problems printing, but my computer is always looking for the printer unless I re - connect via the wirelss Wizard.  I also use a Westell 327W Versalink router/modem and I have connected my Mac via Bonjour, if that helps.  Any ideas out there?  I even reinstalled the router right next to the printer thinking that may be the issue.  He STILL abandons the connection, but it's funny that my wife's computer is not...

    OK, let's assume that your Mac software is correct for now.  Its probably a good assumption.

    We will define an IP address from the printer.  This can help find the network when he wakes fashion 'sleep':

    We will set an IP address of the printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). In your case, is that 192.168.1.15 to 192.168.1.47 can use 192.168.1.50
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Let the gateway and DNS white. Click 'apply '.

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

    After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

    Ash,

    I could be wrong, of course; Mac is not liable for the same way as the Windows environment.

    The printer can print when the print queue of the printer is on, ready to accept a job.  If the queue of work, i.e. the service on the printer running print jobs does not print to the printer, the printer will not print the work.

    If the printer on the computer service is not to blame, then you might indeed want to accuse the printer to not receive the work.

    You can check the communication between the printer and the rest of the installation between the printer and the service that sends the work to the printer:

    You could try to put everything back once more - to include your router.

  • 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.

    The backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings

  • HP software detects the printer, but then "the printer could not be installed on the network.

    I tried looking for a similar problem, but have had no success yet.  I doubt I'm the first to this problem!

    The computer is XP SP3, is printer Deskjet 3050 has, and it's a WiFi WPA - PSK.

    The printer confirms that it is connected to WiFi.

    When I run the tool on the computer, to the point of network configuration check, the installation software detects the printer with the correct IP address.  It's the only thing he discovered.

    I click Next, and after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer could not be installed on the wireless network" click Retry to try reinstall the printer on the network, or click Cancel to return to connection options.

    This just cycles with no progress.  I have disabled the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV.  No change.

    I can access the interface web printer - but still cannot install the printer.  It is listed in the printers and faxes as being offline.

    I'll try removing it again and add new-but-that someone has encountered this problem before, please?

    Well, my problem is almost solved. I uninstalled the software and then downloaded the software of the printer on the HP site where it is more recent than what was on the CD... and it's fixed!

    I can print wireless!

    Cannot scan, the printer gives an error, but that's OK for now.

  • New wireless printer will not see my router wireless/network

    I have checked the other posts, but their issues are a little different from mine.  I just bought a new wireless printer.  I got Samsung remote in, and no matter what they or I did, nothing worked.  We have installed drivers & everything, and my wireless network will not be displayed in the list of available networks.  I have my router sitting 2 feet of the printer & my laptop.  I know it works because I use my wireless laptop at the same time.  We tried to enter the settings manually & automatically & my network will not be displayed.  I use Windows 7 with the Avira software with an active firewall on my home network.   I have tried for a week now and I'm ready to return the printer.  Help, please.  Here are the parameters that you can request.  The only thing I can think is that I asked to be assigned and IP address because I do not know how to get the real.  Thanks in advance

    If you can afford it (not very expensive), buy an external USB drive enclosure and a hard drive at least as large as your installed hard drive.  Once you get your system as you wish, create a complete image of the disk and save it to the external hard drive.  Sometimes, if you buy a player and a box together, software disk imaging and cloning is included.  Otherwise, there is some disc perfectly adequate cloning/imaging programs available.

    If you get a large enough external drive, you can use it to make an image of such system which just after getting properly put things in place and make then one or more periodic images to use as backups.

    If you clone rather than image, then you can just swap the current drive for the clone.  It is more useful as a backup in case your installation disc breaks down.  As a general rule, images can be restored from the backup disk or from the software installed on your computer or by using a CD bootable you create using the same backup software.

    I highly recommend you get one of the following options (or any other similar software you can find) and make backups.

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  • E-all-in-one printer, HP Photosmart 5520 connected to the network but not detected by computers

    Hello!

    My printer HP 5520 indicates that it is connected to my network, but the wireless printing does not work correctly.

    In the implementation of the process of the driver software the printer displayed after resetting my router, a Huawei HG655d. I get a "no connection" error when I try to send a print job to the printer. Function AirPrint doen and the printer is not visible on the iDevices. I have the latest version of my OS (OS X 10.8.3) installed, I also tried to reset and reinstall my router and my printer several times but nothing works.

    Is there a way to make printing wireless correctly?

    Access my printer directly via its IP address works, so the network connection should work. I've added details of the network below:

    Your router may not support Hello, who need your Mac to find the printer.  Enter the configuration of the router and see if there is a way to activate it.  It is sometimes called mDNS.

    Additionally, make sure that the multicast is enabled.

  • Windows 7 (pro?) will not be connected to the non - Internet

    Summary: We do a workshop where we have set up a private network that is not connected to the Internet. We have a fleet of laptops (11 of them) that connect through an open wifi router. The router provides DHCP, and there is also a web server and database on the network server.

    We have laptops with Windows XP and Linux, as well as the Chromebook and Macs. Connect regularly and reliably. However, we had three different Windows 7 laptops of three completely different companies with the same problem. They will connect at first, but then get into a never-ending display of 'limited internet access' cycle, disconnection and reconnection.

    All three of these laptops work very well on all other wireless networks. One of the laptops is Win7 Ultimate 64-bit (not sure the others). Now, this laptop used to work perfectly, but still has this problem. Some other Windows 7 laptops have worked in the past.

    Computers portable Win7 will connect and work very well with a wired connection.

    Then... It is not a problem with the router or the network, since any computer non-Win7 laptop works perfectly. The router is started fees at each workshop, and the problem persists, but * only * on some Windows 7 laptops.

    It is probably not a problem of drivers or virus, given that laptops work fine on other networks.

    We tried to adjust our network "Preferred" and "Connect automatically" in Win7 - no joy.

    Windows 7 has a certain logic that causes the disconnection of a wireless network if he does not have an Internet connection?

    My Dell laptop that was purchased in March, 2012, had no problems to connect to the internet until recently.  Now it connects the morning, but stop connection from about 18:00.  Why is happening.  My router is Lynksys.

    Margaret,

    I guess that your laptop will connect to your wireless router.

    If your laptop loses connectivity each day at roughly at the same time (18:00), then the problem could be due to the interference of the networks your neighbor's wireless.

    There is a setting in your router for the channel to use for traffic wireless (channel 0 to 11).

    If you can find this setting, then change it. The best channels to use (with less interference) are 0, 6, and 11. Your router is probably set to one of these three (but can be assigned to any channel between 0 and 11). Change the string parameter (and try 0, 6 or 11... that we're different from the one that is currently in your router).

    If you can't control the settings of your router, try to do a google search on the brand of your router (linksys), model and word settings... you should be able to find a description on how to change the settings.

    If you want to get into more technical details, use the free utility called inSSIDer... it can be used to see exactly what interference your wireless router is your neighbors... to help see you in the selection of a channel which is not used by your neighbors.
