• How to connect the Officejet Pro 8100 printer to wireless network

  Bought a "nine" Officejet Pro 8100 and want to use via my wireless network. The CD supplied with the printer is obsolete. Updated Apple software but can't see how to connect the printer to the network. Getting Started Guide is no help on this issue. Searched for support without result pages. Utility HP does not provide a method to set up a wireless feature. Find all the instructions, I say first of all make sure that the printer is connected to the wireless network, and that's what I can't find out how. What I forget?

  Finally, I called HP hotline for help and was rescued. It turns out that Apple's software update software includes all the required components. The software from the HP Web site is no longer available. It's frustrating to see the Getting Started Guide refer frequently to the HP installation wizard and be unable to locate it. Once the wizard tech took control of my computer and installed the necessary software, it was a breeze!

  I also note that compose the support number to talk with a guy was rather brief: between 1 and 2 minutes, I recall. Although there was a menu of the phone, it was not a large (unlike the attempt labyrinthine and often circular to locate the online help).

  Insofar as HP knows the necessary software in not available via software update or directly from HP, wouldn't make sense to inform buyers, as well as how to access? At least do not place meaningless, useless on the Web site links that lead into oblivion and frustration!

  Although I did appreciate the journey, I finally arrive at my destination. Thanks to Aris, HP technician. You are exceptional!

• Can I print in black and white with an empty cartridge on a printer HP Officejet Pro 8100?

  Only the cyan cartridge is empty, all the other 3 cartridges are fine. I ordered the cartridge cyan online but I need to print important documents today. The power button blinks when I try to print.

  I do not understand, black and white must not use a color cartridge to print.

  Is there something so I can print before receiving the cyan cartridge?

  The printer Officejet Pro 8100 has the same print mechanism like its counterpart of all-in-One Officejet Pro 8600.  This printer has a print head mechanism that contains 4 individual cartridges: CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black).

  It will replace the cartridge if the unit provides a message from one of the colors being empty, until the unit will resume printing.  This is a retention mechanism to avoid the product from damage.  I hope this helps.

• HP Officejet pro 8100 cannot wifi access point?

  Yesterday, my HP Officejet pro 8100 arrived and I try to connect via wifi. I thought that it need access to infrastructure to print via wifi.

  When I turned on the printer I osserved that he create a stand-alone gateway with SSID: HP-Setup-7 a-Officejet Pro with IPv4 server address, etc...

  I was very happy and I printed a page with my smartphone samsung s4 directly connected printer access point (no wifi direct wifi except standard).

  Has been held today has changed, but I can't use printer with its own point of access, but only with an external wifi access point.

  Can someone help me, please? It could be a hardware problem?

  Thank you

  Luca

  P.S. to the webserver I checked 'connectivity point of access' (di accesso instradamento wireless in Italian Punto) is checked.

  Hello lucait

  You are right that the Hp Officejet PRo 8100 is a single function printer which does not directly optional wireless. You can always do what you want to do, but you will need a router to connect the printer to a network, and from there you can use the network routers or set up the feature ePrint for your portable devices.

  I hope this solves your post. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. It has been a pleasure. Have a great day!

• HP Officejet Pro 8100 does not print - wired network connection - Mac OS x 10.9

  I have my 8100 Officejet Pro connected to my home network via a wired ethernet connection. I use Mac OS X 10.9. We had ongoing problems with the printer is accessible via the network. Whenever we have set up the connection, it works for a few print jobs, but whenever we close the printer, the next attempt to print always fails.

  I just went through all steps to solve the problem. I went back to square one: reinstalled printer drivers on my MacBook Pro running Mac OS x 10.9; has passed through all stages of wired network connection. and now, every time I send a job to the printer, it fits like the receipt of employment and printing, but the printer itself does not.

  The Billboard on the printer indicates it is connected to the network. Print the Network Setup page confirms it is connected to the cable network. Visit the IP address of the printer via my web browser also confirmed. I am able to print a printer HP Print Utility status report, so I don't know that the computer network and the printer are connected and communicate with each other. However, I can't print from MS Word, PDF files or anywhere else outside of the HP Print utility. Work is revealed in the queue, where it shows the status of each page completely 100%, employment disappears, but does never print it.

  Help, please. This has been a problem since I bought the printer, and now that my warranty has expired, it's my last hope of fixing. I'm at the end of my tether with a device that I spent enough money on to expect to work, and it does not work properly literally since the day where it was purchased. All attempts to implement working temporarily, at best. Thanks in advance and if you need more information, please let me know.

  Hi DBG345

  I understand that you are now able to print from USB, but not on the network.

  There are a few things you can try.

  Connect the printer to the router with the ethernet cable.

  Unplug the USB cable.

  Get the IP address of the printer.

  Click on the Apple.
  Click on System Preferences, click on the print icon and scanning, select the printer, click the sign - to remove the printer. Then click on the + sign, then select the printer from the list, select the printer name first, if it does not try the driver airprint, (airprint is apple pre-installed with functionality of basic pilot) click on the Add button.

  You can try is to add the printer as a Protocol IP to see if it will work. Go to Apple, system, print, and scan preferences, click on + button, then select the icon of intellectual property across the top, type in the IP address of the printer, select direct stream below, then apply.

  Try to print.

  I would like to sign up for updates from the HP driver. When available, you will be informed by e-mail.

  Hope that helps.

• HP Officejet Pro 8100 - AirPrint - wireless

  My HP Officejet Pro 8100 worked very well with AirPrint, but then I changed my wireless router and I forgot how the printer was set up originally.

  I use the 8100 with my apple iPhone 4s, it is not connected to any computer and I don't know that it was never connected to any computer when I installed it initially.

  Question is: how put it all again from scratch? There is no "set up" screen on the printer, so how do we?

  I 'know' the printer must 'connect' to my wireless router, but how to do without a connected computer?

  My router is a Homehub4 of BT, and it works very well with my iPhone and ipad.

  Thanks in advance for the advice - I looked for info, but everything seems to indicate that needed a computer connected physically but I am sure that this was not originally the case - just turn on and AirPlay has worked!

  Maybe I need to uninstall "somehow" airplay on my iPhone?

  Help!

  No! I said that originally - no PC.

  BUT, BE, under the impetus for me to try again and this time, keeping my finger on the blue WiFi button and the power button at the SAME TIME and now it during (what seemed like an age) the connection has been made! Finally, I can print!

• HP Officejet Pro 8100: HP Officejet 8100 N811a - network connection is not possible

  Hello community,

  I have a pretty standard network with 3 points of access, WPA - PSK authentication, TKIP/AES encryption, running on channels 1-11. I made the MAC filtering is off and DHCP is on.

  The printer connects to the network, or via the software of HP Doc or the EWS settings.

  It's however possible to connect the city nearby networks so I must be overlooking something.

  After that under the HP Doc and he's trying to set up the printer I just get an exemption from the unknown error.

  The printer prints fine when connected by cable.

  The Network Configuration after the eroor HP Doc said

  Wireless on : Pass
  Wireless Working : Pass
  
  Connected : Not Run
  
  Network Name Found : Pass
  
  Printer Settings Consistent : Not Run
  No Filtering : Not Run
  Channel : Not Run
  Security : FAIL
  
  And in the Configuration it lists the SSID but IP Adress states : not applicable
  

  Ideas?

  Hi @NK10,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I see that you are unable to connect wirelessly with your HP Officejet Pro 8100 printer. I will definitely do my best to help you and don't forget to come back to this thread and mark "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 see that you mentioned that you have "3 APs, authentication WPA - PSK, AES/TKIP encryption, running on channels 1-11 I made sure MAC filtering is off and DHCP is on. »

  First, I'll assume means AP access point.

  • WPA2-PSK (TKIP) WPA2-PSK (AES) and WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) are all different encryption options. Which one do you use?
  • Do not use more than one type of encryption at the same time, what access points help.
  • The router is connected to one channel at a time, not 1 to 11. What channel are you on?
  • DHCP should only be enabled on the router and disabled on each access point.

  Looks like the access points are configured incorrectly. They should have the same type of encryption and be on the same channel as the router. If the printer works well on the wired connection the wireless network configuration is causing a conflict.

  Tips for a successful wireless connection:

  • Using a unique network name (SSID).
  • Make sure you have 802.11 g active.
  • The printer cannot connect to the 5.0 GHz network. If you have a double router broadband, the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz network names are not the same. Rename the 5.0 GHz network.
  • Don't hide your SSID (network name).
  • Change the router channel fixed wireless as the 1, 6 or 11, who less than traffic.
  • You have a switch?
  • Do not use a network of comments (SSID).
  • Disable UPnP on the router.
  • Set the router to 20 Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on the router.
  • Update the firmware on the router.

  For troubleshooting purposes, follow these steps:

  1. Disable all access points.
  2. Connect the printer to the router wirelessly.
  3. Test print.

  If the printer works fine wireless connected access points, you must reconfigure the access points correctly. HP does not support the networks with access point, additional router or switch, etc. The complexity of the configuration.

  For more information, see print wireless Center.

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

• OfficeJet Pro 8100: Officejet Pro 8100 won't print color after update software on Mac

  I have a MacBook Air with OS X (Yosemite 10.10.3)-.

  When I connect the printer via USB, I was able to print by using the generic drivers on the machine. However, as expected, update software detected an update for HP drivers - I installed.

  And now the printer does not print in color. I checked every setting I can think, but it is still printing in black and white.

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Welcome to the @mandikayencforum!

  I have read your current position and the previous thread on how you were not and are not able to print in color from your Mac running 10.10. I saw that already test pages were color printing and would like to know if the test always pages print in color. If they do, a matter for the Mac somewhere, and I have some suggestions for you to do below. If the test pages no longer print in color, please let me know! If the printer is not printing in color when you print test pages, there is probably a problem of cartridge or printer hardware problem.

  1. follow the same steps of @Waterboy71 on your other thread here to reset the permissions system disk and repair of printing: Re: Officejet Pro 8100 refuses to print color (OS X 10.9)

  2. If you still do not have the ability to select the color printing on your Mac, try the procedure described in this post from wisgirl64: Re: won't print in color from my Mac or iPhoto for HP photosmart D110

  If you find that the color print test pages, and the Mac does not give you the options to choose color printing, I suggest getting in touch with Apple support experts to see if they can help fix the problem of the OS X.

  Wondering if there is a way to do a complete factory reset to clear the memory of the printers I've tried unplugging, wait 5 minutes and then plug it to a real reset without success complete.

  All of the suggestions that I am at a loss.

  Hi bketchy,

  This new router has two differnet built-in radio. You must ensure that you connect to the printer the correct SSID name for 2.4 GHZ radio. If you have both the 2.4 and 5.0 GHZ configured with the same SSID, you chnange the SSIP mame which should allow you to connect to the printer. Follow the steps outlined in the document below.

• HP officejet pro 8100 not review or color printing.

  My 8100 Officejet Pro won't recognize color when you try to print from my pictures in Windows 8.1. I've done all the checks... ok of ink, grayscale printing is turned off, blackonly is disabled, deleted the program and resarted from scratch with disc supplied. The computer brand new from Chillblast and is very fast and up-to-date. All inks are new and full.

  It will print documents, pdf, etc, but I can't 'see' colors in my pictures, all the previews and print out black and white.

  The only thing is that I don't know what, if any, changes may be required in the part "Color management" Settings Advanced... any advice... Thank you.

  I just checked the download site pilot official HP and wireddrivers.com site and noticed that the number of driver for my printer Officejet Pro 8100 has changed!

  It was OJ8100_1321.exe... It is now OJ8100_1321 - 1.exe.

  I downloaded this driver and all is well in my world printer!

  I don't know if that was my question on this forum or my contacts a Microsoft technician, (which was useless and kept asking me to do things that I refused to do what I explained that I had already tried), but in any case, someone realized there is a software problem in the pilot and fixed.

  I will now post this as resolved to help someone else who search... Regards Kevin.

• More than a printer HP OfficeJet Pro 8100

  Hello

  I need to buy two printers wireless to use with an iPad.

  But the thing is: if I install TWO identical HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 under the same wifi network, how can I know that I want to print? In other words, my concern is that when I want to print a document using the iPad it will show two printers, but both with the name "HP OfficeJet Pro 8100". Having in mind that each printer is located away from each other in my house, I need to print under the right printer.

  Is it possible to change the name that appears on AirPrint so I can distinguish the two printers? Something like "Printer-Studio" and "printer-bedroom"? Or something that works somehow...

  Thank you.

  Pedrosacelso,

  It is possible to change the name of the printer, many customers buy more than one printer to a desktop environment and need to change the printer name to identify the printer.

  If you have problems with the above steps back on the support forums.
