OfficeJet 6700 Premium: officejet 6700 wifi on despite the Panel saying otherwise

My 6700 Officejet is set up do not use wifi, but to use a wired network. On the control panel of the printer, the wifi logo is off, and in the settings menu, it says that wifi is disabled.

Despite this, the printer is trying to install a wifi network. It broadcasts a network name. (I checked: the network name is the printer model, it disappears when I turned the printer off, and it reappears when I turn on the power.)

What should I do to really turn on wifi?

Hi @pieterl,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I see that your printer HP Officejet 6700 Premium broadcast a wireless signal, but you want to disable this feature. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

I understand that the wireless is off, but the printer still broadcasts a wireless signal. I gather that you see is 6700 portable printer HP Officejet HP Setup menu wireless on the computer or other wireless devices? This seems to indicate that the Direct wireless is enabled.

The menu on the front panel of the printer, go to:

  • Setup menu > network > wireless Direct > turn wireless Direct off the coast.

This should fix the problem for you.

Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

    I'm trying to update the firmware on my HP Officejet Pro X451dw (CN463A), but the firmware update fails with the error "This Firmware Updater does not contain updates for your device." More precisely:

  • Unable to connect to the internet despite the computer saying that it is connected.

    I bought a dell inspiron 15r about 6 months ago.  Everything was fine until a couple of months when I could no longer connect to the internet. even though it shows I am connected to a network in laptop settings.  I try troubleshooting, but it is that there is a problem with wireless and ethernet cards.  I could not update one of my windows programs because he said that it is not connected and therefore impossible to retrieve updates.  How can I fix?

  • OfficeJet 6700 premium print date and time on the fax history report

    Running Windows 8.1 on my OfficeJet 6700 Premium AIO H711n fails to print the date and time on the historic report of the fax.  I need this information to check the box of cylinder head of the fax the documents have been sent.

    Hello dcflorida,

    I did not the 6700 but on another machine, I had to 'reset', time and date in the printers preferences.

    If you haven't done it yet, go to Settings/preferences/time and Date on the All in One printer set up (once again if necessary).

    IF your machine does not have the time / date on the history report, it includes it in the Confirmation page?

  • HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium - How can I turn / adjust the automatic scanning of culture?

    Hello

    How turn on, turn off or set automatic cropping on my scanner?

    I keep getting picture errors when you try to scan a check to deposit into my car. Instead, the verification is automatically cropped I find I have to do it manually (as much as possible of the eye). I think that this manual effort contributes to mistakes of image, but maybe not. Previously, I had an AIO Photosmart C7280 printer and never had this problem.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Dan

    I am told that the 6700 does not have the feature to automatically crop. Therefore, I use the custom function has been suggested earlier in this thread. I got used to it and it works fine. Next time, I'll make sure the printer I buy crop themselves automatically. I hope this helps.

    Hi @AnnisMonadjem,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are unable to print to your printer HP Officejet Pro 8600. I'd be happy to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

    When you say 'LAN', are you referring to the network or you try to share the printer on the network?

    How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/WiFi)

    If you have noticed that the port is causing problems, please download and run the print and Scan doctor, it will be probably diagnose and fix the problem you are experiencing.

    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

    HP has several Officejet Pro 8600 series.

    What is the name and the product number of your printer? How can I find my model number or product number?

    • Update the firmware of the printer.
    • Don't hide the SSID (network name).
    • What type of encryption are you helping? HP recommends WPA and WPA2.
    • You have a double router broadband? Make sure that the two groups were not the same network name.

    If the problem persists, you may encounter an IP address conflict. It's a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address outside your DHCP range. For example, some routers default DHCP is located between 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200. So, I would use 192.168.0.232.

    To assign the static IP address, use the following steps as a guide.

    • Print a Page of Network Configuration menu of the printer front panel. Note the IP printer. IPV4 address
    • Type the IP address in the browser to bring up the SAP.
    • Choose the network tab, then wireless on the left side, and then select the IPv4 tab.
    • Select Manual IP.
    • Enter your IP address manual (192.168.0.232)
    • Enter 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, except if it is different.
    • Enter the IP address of your router that sits on the Network Configuration Page) for the default gateway.
    • Please, click on manual DNS server. For the preferred DNS Server Manual please enter 8.8.8.8 and the Alternate DNS Server Manual, please enter 8.8.4.4.
    • Click on apply.
    • Restart the router, the printer and the computer.
    • Test printing and scanning.

    If the problem persists, download and run this patch rollup: resolving printing issues in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    • Try printing and scanning.

    In addition, if you are still having problems try the steps in this guide, HP printers - "offline" Status Message printer (Windows 7).

    Thank you for taking the time to post on the HP Forums today! Hope you enjoy the experience.

    So, my name is Zac and I'll be your 1 to 1 HP Support Technician today. I understand that you are using the Officejet 6480 with a 802.11n wireless modem. Unfortunately, the printer is not compatible with the modem. It is more compatible with Wireless 802. 11b / g modems.

  • duplex HP officejet j145 windows 64-bit: the page sequence at random

    Installation of win 7 driver for my hp officejet j145 windows 64-bit was smooth, but despite the duplexer duplex printing now works only manually and the hp software functions are that much missed (ink, etc.); worse, even with the manual double-sided printing: the sequence of page on the back side is random (for example 1-8-3-12-5-2-7-10,...) and is distinguished by the document.

    Help, please!
    Kurt

    Ok

    Let's try the following:

    Once the printer is already connected to your PC,

    Go into devices and printers and then click Add a printer.

    Click Local Port and select the USB port from the list (may appear like USB001 or DOT4)

    In the lst select HP industrial.

    In the list of printers, select the HP Deskjet 6940 or HP Deskjet 6980.

    Follow the steps to complete the add a Printer Wizard.

    Now try to print with the newly created spare driver - you don't see any similar behavior?

    If you see a similar behavior, try to print using another software (for example a web page), you can see the same results?

    Make sure not to change the parameters of the front and back of the box print dialog, but only from the Printing Preferences dialog box.

    What application you initially try to print from?

  • COUNSULTING JET 6700 / after forest in the eprint centre and ranging in settings exploitation, I

    COUNSULTING JET 6700 / after connection to the eprint center and going into settings I filled the email from authorized users to send print jobs. Next time, I'll check authorized users only two of the five I entered are present.  Why are others deleted?

    If you have problems with ePrint Center (EPC) don't save contacts to the list of senders, I would use this process to try to get the account to save contacts.

    1. connect to ePrint Center

    2. click on the list of senders and add a normal user.

    3. click on Save after adding the address - do not sign of ePrint Center.

    4. then send an email to the printer from this sender you just added.

    5. once the e-mail has been received by the printer, disconnect and then come back in ePrint center and check the list of senders.

    If this above process does not work, it would seek to remove web services and adding it back.  This would cause one to lose their email address and need to reprint the code printer and set up the printer on the account again to the EPC.

  • 8530w Win7 Home Premium fresh install - Wifi and bluetooth radio off just not online

    Hi all

    I encountered a strange problem. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit edition. I installed all the essential drivers; setting network, wifi, quick launch button drivers HP and others. Wired network works fine. However, the wifi button is orange and does not work on contact. All other keys work well, so I guess we can exclude. The driver is loaded OK and the hardware is connected according to the Intel Pro Set diagnostic tools. However, he also pointed out that the radio switch is thrown off, so the orange light right?

    The radio is off, bluetooth driver moved not because of 'not present material' and I can't enable it.

    I've seen other people with the same problem, but a majority of those who appear to have been related to the HP power management. And as this is a clean install, I don't think that power management is the problem. Just to be safe, I disabled the power management capability in the adapter properties.

    So, is there another way to activate the radio via the software without relying on the button of the Panel wifi? Are there other ways to diagnose the problem?

    Thanks for your help!

  • OfficeJet 4630: Can not find the Option of Scan OCR

    Installed software for a Windows laptop and if I open the program "HP OfficeJet 4630 Series" / icon on the desktop I can choose the option of OCR of the category of analysis. With the Macbook Pro, I'm on now, I don't see anything like that. There are several programs of HP in a HP folder in the "Applications" folder but none resembles the Windows prorgram and none allow me to scan with OCR option. Where this option on a Mac

    Thank you

    VFN

    I talked to a technician and solve the problem.  For some reason any scanning HP app was not showing in the Mac Applications folder, which it is now. What I don't understand is what OCR really means because I just saved a scanned in the rich TEXT format document and it is editable. It wasn't always the case I think that scanning an image required OCR technology so that it can be modified according to me. So what is the point of the OCR now if it appears as saving an image as a RTF (or other format that I suspect) allows for editing?

    Thank you.

    Sorry for the double post and I check this thread as resolved, although I'd love to hear my understanding of confusion OCR addressed.
