Printer (8500) not connected (wireless) as I am updating to the mountain

I have updated to OS x Lion mountain last week and were unable to make the printer work since then.  The printer works perfectly on Snow Leopard, but now whenever I try and print a document I tells me that the printer is not connected.  I tried a USB cable but have had the same results.  My computer is an iMac running OSX version 10.8  My printer is an Officejet Pro 8500A910a.  Thanks for your help.   SamO66

    Can someone please?

    Rick,

    After a few "cooling off" days, I decided to TANOE this problem again and it seems that I finally work!

    I went in the menu on the printer and restore the default settings.  I always had the same problem with the Installation of the Dell program I went into the Windows 7 Control Panel and clicked on "Add a wireless device to the network."  He immediately recognized the printer and I followed the steps until the light green enabled WiFi fixed.   Then, I went through the installation of Dell again and was able to print, scan, etc.

    Thanks again,

  • Photosmart 6380: printer will not connect wireless

    Just downloaded all the software for the new laptop Dell and tried to connect it to the wireless printer.  Said that he was ready then tried to print.  the message was that he wanted me to try again by connecting the cable which he just told me to unplug it.  What?  Does this mean that I have to download it all again?

    Please come back to me @Theresa11.

    I would say runnig the print and Scan doctor. If the driver needs to be reinstalled again the PSDR should solve this problem.

    Let me know the results.

    Thank you.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a: printer will not connect to the wireless network.

    I got this HP printer for a while and it worked fine.  Our old router is out and we had to get a new one.  Installed perfectly and printer continued to work properly.  The password for the router was ridiculous, that's why I changed it to something much more simple to remember.  Since then, my printer will not connect to wireless internet.  I have a ~ and reinstalled the printer but still have the same problem.  I thought maybe to try the former password would, but who does not work either.

    Anyone has any ideas that might help before chuck it and go and get a new one altogether?

    Thank you.

    Easy things first.  Turn off the router and the printer.  Turn on the router and wait 3 minutes.  Turn on the printer and see if it connects to your router.  Status?

    If no joy, temporarily disable all security in the router.  Now try to connect the printer to your SSID not guaranteed without password.  Status now?

    If OK, go back and add WPA2-AES with your simple password.  Status now?

  • HP Premium 8600 - using OSX 10.9.4 with wireless and don't keep saying the printer is not connected

    Use the printer for a few months with no problems.  Now, out of the blue, I can't print.  Keeps telling me that "the printer is not connected" and "search for printer.  I see that the printer's system preferences.  So the printer is there. Why is this suddenly happening?

    If I disable wireless to the printer and then turn it back on, I can print maybe one or two times and then get the same message.

    What is the problem here?

    Hello

    Please, try unplugging your router from the power for 10 seconds, plug it back and leave 2 minutes to initialize.

    Then turn your printer off and turn it back on and allow it to reconnect.

    You can see any difference?

    If this isn't the case, please also restart the Mac and check for the difference.

  • Printer not responding not connections (wireless printer) is good and solid. I replaced my old router wirelessly with a router of valuation. I had to plug it, but the printer does not respond now.

    Printer not responding not connections (wireless printer) is good and solid. I replaced my old router wirelessly with a router of valuation.  I had to plug it, but the printer does not respond now.

    Is what brand and model of printer?

    I do not work unless your new router has the same SSID and password wireless as the old. Consult your printer documentation to find out how to handle the situation. For example, some Lexmark wireless printers have a program called Configuration Utility Wireless in the Lexmark folder under all programs on the start menu that is used to set up the printer when changes are made to the wireless network.

  • Printer will not connect via USB

    HP lj1022 printer will not connect not not via the USB port after the installation of the new driver upgrade hp lj1020/1022 for Windows 7 (64-bit). Driver seems to install properly until the moment where he is asked to connect the USB cable. Then he hangs up. HP lj 1020 printer appears in the display to the dashboard as the default printer. Computer recognizes the printer as hp printer lj1022 but in another "device not specified Panel when and only when the printer is on and the USB cable is connected." When printing, nothing ever comes from queue.

    Diagnosis is only that something is stuck in the queue and remove the task from the queue, but does not. Diagnostic shows no problem.

    The lj1022 printer accepts data from two other computers, as well on Windows xP and using the same cables. Three other USB ports have been tested on the new Windows 7 computer without results. The USB ports on the Windows 7 computer accept keyboards, mouse and flash memories wireless dongle without problem. The Windows 7 computer also sends data to a printer wireless with no problems.

  • Want 4500: I get a message saying that the "the printer is not connected.

    I just bought a HP Envy 4500 all in one printer.

    I can't print to it without having to restart it every time.

    I get a message saying that the "the printer is not connected.

    I can access the built-in web server, so I am sure that it is connected.

    It seems that he is going to sleep but cannot be awoken by activity.

    I checked network settings changed and tried to change the Hello Service of priority higher to 9100 (because the default Internet Printing Protocol) seems odd, but makes no difference.

    The State indicates that the power of the wireless signal is 5 - that sounds just because it's six feet from my PC that has a great wireless signal.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.

    The restart is only viable if the printer is restarted and sent instantly - work if you wait a few minutes (energy saving option is set to 15 minutes and it's inside that) is the same thing - the said printer dialogus "Opening conection printer" and then, almost immediately, "the printer is not connected.

    If I try to scan I get an error-9923

    Hi @jpkeates,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you can not print with your HP Envy 4500, once he falls asleep on your computer Mac OS X 10.11. I'm happy to help you!

    Please, try the steps in this guide, "printer offline" or "printer not responding" Message (OS X). It is also important to ensure that:

    Make sure that the multicast is supported

    If you use a wireless network, make sure that muticasting is supported and enabled on your router.

    If the new connection is working, you know that the printing problem is tied to the computer.

    If the new connection does not work, then the printer may need to be repaired or printed using a different type of connection.

    Disable IPv6 (network connection)

    Disable IPv6 on the printer to make sure IPv4 is used on your network.

    If your printer has a control panel with display, find the IPv6 settings in the advanced network configuration menu and set it to Off or disabled.

    If your printer does not display, use the built-in web server (EWS) to disable IPv6.

    From a computer on your network, type the IP address of the printer in the field URL of your Internet browser.

    NOTE:

    If the Web page appears empty, try another Internet browser.

    Click on the tab network or network, and then open the section or page corresponding to your type of network - wired or wireless.

    Select enable IPv4 only (or similar).

  • Photosmart 6510 "the printer could not connect to the server.

    Hi all.

    Just try to find this sorted hope someone can help.

    I am able to print irelessly of all our devices with no problems at all.

    However, when I click on the control panel applications he repeats me "the printer could not connect to the verification of the server of the internet connection and try again or enter a proxy address.

    I use an Imac with airport wifi router.

    Doing a search in the forums and on the manuals troble shooting pages, nothing seems to work.

    Thanks in advance.

    Let's define an external static IP and DNS address for 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). Yours is 10.0.1.2 a.200.  We use 10.0.1.220 for your printer.
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
    -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.

  • HP 5530 Envy: Would print not; Software reinstalled now printer will not connect

    I printed 2 pages of a document and another need.  When I went back to try to print again, it got stuck and would not take the step to go to HP ePrint.  I tried 2 other times.  Then I cancelled all print jobs 3 and tried to print something different.  Jobs canceled is stuck trying to cancel, and the other document would not print.

    I checked the edits and reinstalled the printer software.  Then I unplugged the printer, and it wouldn't reconnect.

    I uninstalled the software, reinstalled, printer does not connect.

    Restarted the computer, printer does not have to connect.

    I had this problem before, but not for a while.  I guess it's a problem with Windows 10.  I was going to make the resolution of the problems, but it is configured for Windows 8.1.

    I ended up going to the support page for my printer, so the link that you sent in step 3 of solution 1.  I looked through the help desk, but they do not have my problem.  Then, from there, I stopped using these steps and went to the software and drivers link to see if something was missing.  It shows all of the software I have access to, but it is not very clear from this first page on what I actually need to add.  I downloaded the HP Printer Wizard and follow these steps, and now my problem is solved.  However, at the end of step 2, he said that if my printer was connected to the radio, I should stop troubleshooting.

    As I said before, it was not a matter of my printer is not not on my wireless connection.  When I double click the icon of the printer front and selected 'add a new printer' he would not this process.  The wireless never disconnected.  The rest of my computer just not see it.  While I was with the installation wizard, he says that most of the drivers were there but some elements were not, so that solved the problem.

    Thank you for your help.  Although not exactly what I asked, you still have the page that solved my problem.

  • Printer will not connect, do not accept access code

    Hello

    I have a HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z.  We have been connected to a wireless network, then moved. We kept our same cable service, etc.  I tried to print from the same computer, but you get the status message that the printer is not connected.  The wireless light is on, I have turned off the power to the printer and the router, on again.  I have checked my router password and have tried several times to enter every other option password we have, but still not wrong password message.  I have Windows Vista and do not know what else to try.  Is there a way to completely circumvent the password option?  Thank you very much!

    Thanks for getting back to me. I have check the router password. I decided to uninstall/reinstall the printer and it is fine now.

  • HP deskjet 2540: HP 2540 printer will not connect to new router

    Hi, we just changed internet service providers and the printer will not connect to the new router, our HP laptop computer presents the printer in the list of network devices / wireless, but will not accept the password of network to the router when I ask him to connect. Makes me crazy! I have re-installed software etc. to connect the drive and make me anywhere I hope someone can help!

    Replacement/change your wireless router, try here.

    http://www.HP.com/global/au/en/wireless/reconfiguring-system-Help3.html

    Make sure that your router is set to a fixed channel wireless as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.  Try channel 1 first and then the other one at a time.  Make sure that the printer and the router are spaced at least 5 feet.

    However, if you have a gateway device (modem + router), all gateway devices are terrible for connectivity and wireless performance.   If this does not work, suggest you put this bridge in full bridge mode device and install your own router of high quality that YOU have full control over.
