New wireless brother MFC-495 does not print Windows XP laptop

Similar to other issues but quite different:

1 installed the printer on the desktop that does not have wireless using the USB port.  Prints.

2nd software installed on my laptop wireless.  I can see the printer in the Printers folder, it says ready, but will not be printed.  Printer has been implemented with the SSID, etc. and has even an indicator that it's getting the wireless signal.  I know that the laptop is wireless or I would not be writing from it now.

How do I get my laptop and printer to really talk to each other?  BTW, my wireless router works fine from my phone runs Android on it.  Power doesn't have to be on the desktop for this.

I really don't want the computers on the network since I will be out of the office, but so far the system made me do in my attempts to get the printer to print wireless.

I have all the IP addresses, but rather would not provide them.  Had problems with the protection of privacy on several fronts recently.

When I go to printers and faxes, I have several printers 'shared' here.  Probably because I installed the drivers for the printer on the desktop and laptop.  Regardless, none of the printers to print from the laptop from the desktop computer.  The port on one is "roselaptop": Port TCP/IP Standard.  The other is COM4: serial port.  I have 2 computers on a network as a network home and figured that should solve the problem.  The laptop is the "residential gateway" in the network set up.  Looks like I should be able to add this wireless printer to the network.  It's playback a signal very well.

I'll try to disconnect the USB cable from the desktop computer and see what happens.

Thank you for all your detailed descriptions that have helped me!

You are currently too caveats regarding the IP addresses, but may help the following:

When you have a router, the ONLY IP address that is "seen" by the rest of the Internet is one assigned to your router by your ISP.  The router assigns IP addresses to the devices to the 'internal' - your LAN - that's why they are called "private" IP addresses  There are three blocks of these private IP addresses: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255; 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255; and 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255.  Almost every router uses the third block (which has the smallest number of possible addresses).  And almost every default router uses is 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255 or 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255.

Regardless a block of IP addresses used by your router, it is important that all devices are on the same subnet.  For example, if the default gateway (which is the local IP address of the router) is 192.168.1.1, then your computer AND the printer must have the form 192.168.1.x IP addresses.  If your default gateway is 192.168.0.1, then others should be 192.168.0.x.

The difference between a shared printer and a network printer, the shared printer is a "resource" of a computer that is connected to the network.  In order to access a shared resource (if it is a file on the hard disk of the computer, or a printer attached to the computer by a cable of USB, series or parallel), the computer that "owns" the resource must be turned on and connected to the network.

In your original post, you said that you had a wireless router.  This is the typical way that specific set up networks.  It is inconsistent, however, describing your laptop as the residential gateway.  Maybe say you you see an icon called "Residential gateway" laptop "My Network Places."  If so, this icon represents your router.

Your description of the ports is also confused.  Usually, when you configure a port for the printer, the port name is the name you give to the printer - not the laptop.  But what is important here is that the IP address displayed on the screen 'Set up the Port' for the port of "TCP/IP Standard" that the printer uses (the one with the box), must be the same as the IP address assigned to the printer (which you find in print 'report Network Configuration' from the control panel of the printer).

  • HP Deskjet 812c - CMY new cartridge (HP 23) - yellow does not print (but it is)

    Yes, I know... it is a dinasour printer but it has been a workhorse for me since I bought it when it first came out (1998!). I use it often, but she remained loyal.  Judged non HP cartridges, but they are not as good, so PLOPPED down the money for a cartridge HP 23 CMY legitimate again.  Expiration date: December 2013.

    I can see the streaks of ink for all 3 colors on the head of nozzle/so that means there are in there, and all the rest print - C M and K, but not of Y. I tried some old cartridges that I forgot to recycle in the hope that I could get some of them out of one of them though but weak , but that no longer works.

    I also tried to print from more than one program and Windows 7 generic print test page in the case where there are a few color program setting somewhere that was the cause.  Banned, same result overall. I swab clean the nozzle/head, lined up, even began.  Always without Y.

    I wonder itf it's a question of management of system colors, although if there are streaks on copper head of the 23 HP where it meets the surface of the paper, it seems to be working, just do not hit the paper.  Electric prods on the printer which meets the back of the eye of the cartridge clean too.

    Maybe it's a cosmic hint to get a new printer, but I live on a fixed income from social security and every penny counts. I paid too just for a new cartridge.

    Suggestions, hosted solutions.
    Thank you.

    If this is a new OEM cartridge, and it is not printing yellow the first thing to do is to follow the steps outlined in the document below, and then if you continue to have the problem, you can support in the 800-474-6836 since the cartridges have their own guaranteed separate printer.

    After that I have upgraded to Windows 10 and Word 2016, envelope and label printing feature would no longer work on all-in-one printer, HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Premium.  Please provide any possible solution.

    Hi @dshirley22,

    Thanks for the response back.

    I would at this point uninstall all previously installed printer software. If you need assistance, here is a document that can help - uninstalling the software of the printer (Windows).

    Once the software is uninstalled, use the HP printer installation wizard to help install the software. This tool will search and find the version of the drivers and the printer software up-to-date.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

    In fact, if it helps you to find a solution, please click on the 'accept as Solution' and the 'thumbs up' buttons down below in this message.

  • HP Laserjet 1018: Printer light blinks 15 times but does not print

    I have 2 printers, my work horse HP laser jet and a Brother Multi printer/scanner/fax etc. Both printers work correctly when connected (usb to LJ1018 connection) or wireless (Brother MFC) to my notebook running windows 7 lite.

    My desktop HP compaq core 2 duo machine is connected to two printers with the help of a brother network cable and a usb cable for the LJ1018 but I decided to connect the brother wireless to my network, because it allowed me to use my netbook without having to plug in a usb or network cable. I also created my office to connect wireless to the brother and it works fine, but now I find that I can not use the LJ1018 that I think only has a usb cable connection. Although the computer says the printer is connected it is flashing the light several times - about 15 but does not print anything. I tried to reinstall the USB driver but this makes no difference. One thought I have is that Windows XP cannot deal with a wireless connection, but also a connection usb, if yes can I have go back to wired connections?
