Photosmart C309 printer: change to usb connection

I currently have a wireless connection to my computer.  How to change that to a USB, wired connection?

Hey @dac71, welcome to the Forums of HP!

I understand that you do not want to change to have a wireless connection to a USB connection between the printer and the computer. When you connect a USB cable, the printer automatically installs the correct driver and since you have already paid it works wirelessly, it would be seamless.

If you're having trouble, and you have a Windows operating system, run the HP print and the doctor Scan with the USB cable connected and it will help: www.hp.com/go/tools.

If you have a Mac and you need assistance let me know.

See you soon!

  • 6280 all-in-One printer - changing of USB to Ethernet - error - connection cannot find the printer

    I am trying to reinstall my C6280 all-in-One printer on the product - my original installation CD was for a USB connection, I will reinstall for an Ethernet connection for use on our wireless network.

  • My Photosmart Plus printer seems to lose connectivity in mode 'sleep', how can I fix?

    My new photosmart plu seems to lose its connection when he falls asleep. At least page printers online status says it is not connected, even if it is visible in my router and the blue light next to the antenna of the printer is on. He also seems to be connected when I rummage in the settings of the printer, but if I want to print something from an application or e-mail, I have to run the wireless Assistant again, select my netgear and enter the password. Once connected, I get a screen where I can supposedly jump not printing a report, but who work either, it just prints whatever I select, waste of paper and ink.

    I looked around, but couldn't find any solution that would work for me.

    Technical info:

    Wireless to a modem connection cable with Netgear router

    MacBook pro and an older HP laptop are in use.

    Security is WPA2-PSK AES]

    I love the machine, but it is quite annoying, what can I do to keep the connection when the printer is sleeping?

    (edited to add security information)

    OK, progress - very well!

    Let's go to the internal settings of the printer page and fill the bridge (I think you did) and then enter the same gateway address to the first DNS server field as well (leave the second empty).  Make sure you click on 'apply '.

  • HP Photosmart C309 printing blank pages

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart C309a printer which has worked well until recently. The problem seems to have started after the tray of food thing was hit and fall, but it is difficult to say for sure because I didn't print a few weeks after that. There is no visible damage to the tray, and it will lock in place without problem. Now it is just printing blank pages.

    I did a test print (print quality report), and this is what came out:

    http://i281.Photobucket.com/albums/kk222/coolbeverage/SCAN0008.jpg

    If I remember correctly, there are two black cartridges in your printer, the smallest with the symbol looks like two triangle pointing together, is the photo black ink, it is only used for printing photos. The greatest with the symbol of the Pentagon is ink black text. If the printer reports that non-empty black ink, but do not print text black (after 'cleaning print head'), there could be only two things, I'm afraid:
    1. the black printhead is dead and need replaced. or
    2. the passage of the ink cartridge to the print head does not, it will take a professional service (repair).

    I activated the such LPD service indicated in your link, but it did not turn. When I sailed through the other answers the last one said to remove the spaces in the name of the shared printer. I did it and it seems to work.

  • Photosmart 2610 usb connected stops printing in the queue; error noted. IMac os 10.6.8. prints test page

    I used all-in-one HP Photosmart 2610 for years without change. Now everything is print spooling with non-descript "error" when it is in the queue. I can print the test page for the utility and I can print via the usb connection to my laptop which has supposedly the same software and updates. I uninstalled and reloaded the software updated and get a message that the software has been installed successfully. Install HP works OK and the dashboard widgit working to show supplies. But the printer in the printer/Fax preferences poster "information not available" when I check for supply levels.

    When I try to use the printer utility I get a message "some components installed on your computer have been developed for a different version of the HP utility. These components will not be loaded and some features related to your device cannot be accessed ".» I downloaded the latest version of the software and reinstalled my original software CD and cannot always my computer to print.

    If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and you have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber":

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard at the same time as you click on uninstall< this="" is="" the="" scrubber="" option,="" there="" is="" no="" button="" labeled="">

    Click on continue and let it finish

    Restart your Mac

    Now reset the printing system:

  • m277dw: m277dw scanning network vs usb connections

    I have my new m277dw put in place with a wired network connection.  All right.  The "scan to network" function works well, but it is pretty basic.   for example, no preview, crop, on mode settings flying, etc..  Does anyone know if direct scanning software used with a USB connection has all the extra features?  If so, I could try to add the USB connection on the nearest computer.  BTW, does anyone know if the printer supports a USB connection AND network at the same time the same computer?

    Thank you.

    Hi @botbswco,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you have some questions analysis about the printer HP Laserjet m277dw, on Windows 7. And I'm happy to help you!

    The scanning software would be the same software you use now, if you have changed your USB connection. You could possibly install the printer using the two connections, but it is not recommended, because you can confuse the computer on which connection printer you use. And still will not print correctly. Would you choose manually on the computer, printer, print every time you print. For example, you may have a printer named HP Laserjet m277dw (USB) and the other named m277dw of the HP Laserjet (network).

    If you are looking for different scanning options, you can always try scanning without using HP software and try to use the third-party scanning software instead. Please, consult this guide, scan from Windows 7 without software HP for HP Multifunction printers, for instructions.

    Hope this information is useful and have a great day!

  • HP Photosmart C309 all-in-one think it's out of paper

    It is a question about the system of my father.

    It uses a wireless HP Photosmart C309 printer and the Windows XP operating system.

    Even if there is paper in the printer, it gets a command prompt telling him that it is paper.

    Despite this, the printer picks up the paper and through cycles although it does not print anything on paper.

    What is a mechanical problem (printer)? A software problem? Or maybe operator error?

    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    It is always nice when printers behave.  If the error "on paper" return, you can see the following link.  Click here  It is a document troubleshooting for this issue.  It contains lots of good information and I would suggest that you go through here carefully.  If you need help more made me know.

  • Question of USB connection? Office Jet 4500 g510n

    I have a HP 4500 g510n printer.  It works great as a home network wireless.  I noticed that there is a connection to printer cabe on the back of the case.  There is nothing in the mannual users on a cable connetion.  This printer may be connected to the computer with a USB printer cable?  Is the port to connect just one part of a multi-model standard case and not connected to anything for this model?   If it can be connected can manage both wireless and cable connection at the same time?  I have a pc I ' d electrician it but I have others who need to continue using the wireless.  Thanks for any information.

    Hello

    Any USB connection as part of its standard specifications of the printer support, it means that you don't connect the model 4500 with a USB wireless as well.

    Network and USB connections will not interfere with each other, you can use the printer with a USB connection to one of your PC and the network wirelessly with any other PC.

    Kind regards

  • C8180 HP USB connection.

    Hello

    I have connected the C8180 wireless and I want to use the lightscribe roxio software to burn a CD. I understand that I must connect the computer to the printer by a usb connection. Can I connect to the computer by usb without having to install additional drivers, or do I need to install additional drivers?

    Thank you, Gerald

    If you want to connect on the same PC with the USB port, no additional installation is necessary. Just plug in the USB cable, wait a few minutes and everything should work. If you are installing on a PC where the software is not installed original, then start over again.

  • Photosmart Wireless B109n-z: Impossible to connect the printer wireless to the new router

    I just changed my wireless router and can not get my printer to recognize the new router.

    When you try to reinstall with the disc that came with the printer it keeps "quit unexpectedly" at the end of the installation, but before I get to connect to the printer.

    The drive indicates that it is for use with Mac OS X v10.4; 10.5, but I can't find an option to update the web site HP despite it stating that my printer is still supported.

    I can still use the printer with a USB cable connected directly to my table, but this is no help for the other devices I have.

    Hi @Paulwrow,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!
     
    I understand that you are unable to connect your HP Photosmart Wireless B109n-z to your new router wirelessly. I'd be happy to see this with 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.
     
    The CD/DVD software will not work with newer versions of Mac OS X. HP doesn't have the drivers for this printer in Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan. The last driver out of this printer is for Mac OS X 10.6. The only driver available that uses the driver update from Apple. This causes a problem when reconfigure the wireless, as this is the software for help. It would be easier if you have another computer running an operating system that is supported so that you can install the full feature software to configure the wireless.

    As an alternative method, you can try doing as a guideline to connect the wireless printer. We will use the ad-hoc connection. With the ad-hoc connection, you can launch the built-in web server (EWS) to access the wireless configuration wizard.
     
    Use the following steps as a guide:
    Restore the default settings of the network:

    1. Press the button next to the wireless Menu.
    2. Press the button next to wireless settings.
    3. Press the button next to network by default.

    Once the network is reset, the printer should disseminate the ad hoc connection. It should look like "hpsetup" or "HP Setup (and part of the printer name or MAC address). With an IP address like 169.82.12.44.
     
    Then, connect to the network printer, that is broadcasting.

    1. On the Mac in the upper right corner, click on the wireless icon and connect to the network "HP Setup" or "hpsetup".

    Print the wireless test report:

    1. Press the button next to Scan.
    2. Press the button next to the wireless Menu.
    3. Press the button next to wireless settings.
    4. Press the button next to run the wireless network Test.

    Browse the test report wireless IPV4 of the printer (IP address) 169.82.12.44.

    1. Launch your internet browser and enter the IP as shown. This should load the printer EWS.
    2. Click on the tab network across the top.
    3. On the left side, click on wireless or network.
    4. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

    This is the only way to reconfigure the wireless, unless you have another computer that has supported the software.

    For more information on the ad-hoc connection, see the User Guide.

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