  Hello

  The first thing I would do is follow step 6 in this document to set a static IP address: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02817031
  When it askes for the DNS information, enter in Google DNS. Preferred DNS = DNS Alt = 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8

  This could increase the stability of the network connection to the printer downstairs.  If this does not help, let me know what OS is on the computer causing problem, because that could cause a problem?  Other than that, you can check the quality of the signal you get form the network and see if this can be a problem.

• RICOH Aficio 1045 Pcl 6 cannot be contacted over the network

  I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit and I try to install a printer multifunction Ricoh Aficio 1045 on a network. I was able to do a typical "add a printer" and everything seemed fine, but I can't print. When I run the troubleshooting printer I get the following error 'printer RICOH Aficio 1045 Pcl 6 cannot be contacted over the network. He said to contact my system administrator. I don't have a system administrator. I'm open to any ideas on this one.

  Printer driver from the site Web RICOH (PLC 6 pilot - worm. 3.1.0.0 r31047en)

  Intel i7 - 3770 k @3. 5 GHz (8cpu)

  16384 MB of ram

  AMD (ATI) V over-pants 725 MB graphics card

  I actually solved myself yesterday.  I installed the printer using its ip address and the PL5e driver and it worked fine.  Thank you. .

• OfficeJet 6500 E709n series cannot be contacted over the network. Reinstalled, rebooted several times.

  Running Win 7/32 on two different computers HP laptop and updates on 2 iPhones and 2 iPad2s. I also have DirecTV whole House wireless set up through this network. The router is an E4200 of Cisco (Linksys), with the latest firmware and software updates, running Mixed Mode WPA2/WPA encryption.

  I installed, removed, rebooted and reinstalled the printer several times and do not see it, other than on the router's routing tables. I am unable to ping and can't see any (other than Cisco) software.

  I have tried to use the installation wizard 'automatic' in the menu of the printer #8, has made 'restore defaults', is 'advanced configuration', IP address and used auto and even with the SSID and key, I'm headed to an IP address that is not even close to be part of my network. I tried manual IP and combination of wireless configuration and put the IP address that shows on the Cisco Routing table. I tried "restore default settings", and then reinstalled the software after you have uninstalled and restarted everything. I tried HP Network Diagnostic Utility, and it can't find any problems on my network, another it does not find the printer.

  Nothing is allowing me to see the printer, except when I connect it via USB.

  Does anyone have any ideas where I can go for an answer?

  I found a solution validated by PrintDoc that worked:

  A static IP address is always a good idea for a 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). If you know what it is, set an IP address outside this range but not exceeding 254 (the last number of the address). If you don't know it, enter the current IP address.
  -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
  -Let the gateway and DNS white. Click on ' 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.

  -instead of remake "Add a printer", I was able to change the properties of my current setup and add a new TCP/IP port, using the name of the computer, I had specified in the static DHCP entry in my router. Finally, it worked and I'm now able to print again from my laptop and the application of 'Print-N-Share' on my iPad and iPhone.

  Thanks PrintDoc! You got me most of the way and I managed to finish it.

• Is there a problem with the printer on and not on the network

  Hello

  I have a home network wirelessly with a computer (64) of windows 7 and a Photosmart c7280 printer all-in-one.  When I look on the network, I see my network card and at the bottom it says printer cannot be placed on the network.  I then click on see other devices on the network and I can see my computer, router, media player and the same printer - at least of the same name - as a device that could not be placed on the network.   Is this normal and is it a problem to have it.  The name that I see in these two places is the hostname I gave the printer.  Thanks for any help.

  Hi rayjohn,

  I think that what you see is the printer as discovered by Universal Plug and Plug, known as UPnP.  The main feature of this, he seems to find the printer and the host name is part of the same name.  You really can't get rid of it because it comes right away again when Windows find the printer on the network.  It can be ignored as it will not interfere with normal HP software that can be installed on the computer.

• try to print from my Win7 x 64 laptop over the network (homegroup or workgroup) to an enslaved Dell Photo AIO Printer 926

  I'm trying to print from my Win7 x 64 laptop over the network (homegroup or workgroup) to an enslaved Dell Photo AIO Printer 926.  When I look for the computer on the laptop, I find, it seems to be fine, but when I print a job, the print job is in the queue on the laptop and does not send the job to the desktop printer.  I had it once before but a relocation removed.  I'm not sure why I see the desktop of my laptop printer but cannot get it working again.

  Any advice?  Thank you

  You need the Windows7 x 64 drivers for the printer (and perhaps software and fimware) installed on your laptop to be able to print using the printer on another computer if he uses another operating system...  Maybe when you reinstalled you forgot to install these things.  Try this and see if you can then print.

  If this does not help, please post in the Forums Windows7; http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/category/Windows7 where Windows7 experts will be happy to help you.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• LaserJet P2055DN - do not print over the network

  Configure the printer last night as a network printer (which replaces a former 2300dn LJ). It would not print a test page. To verify that the printer was good, I have loaded the drivers on my laptop and connected via usb.  Was able to print a page of test via USB.  Disconnected usb and reconnected power cable. Released and reset the ip address.  Verified the ip address in scathing of the host.   When I ping the printer I usually lose half of the packages.  There are two other HP printers on the network, a P2015dn and a color 2605dn LJ. Ping their IP back to 100% with a ttl = 255. Ping the p2055 produced 4 packets sent, 2 packets received, 2 lost packets, ttl = 64 2 returns.  I changed the printer cables and exchanged the network switch ports (verified the network switch ports by printing to the LJ 2605) with the same result. I can't get the internal web server to mount, or it partially displays or combinations of these.  If this was the old style removable print server as in my lj2300, I could swap out, but it's not like I can do with this model.  When I send a test page to the printer, it displays "printing", the green light on top flashes, the activity on the network card light flashes, but nothing happens. Finally, I get a «this document failed to print "notification on the host, but the printer still says 'printing' and the lights are still flashing.»  Anyone have any ideas?  I think I'm looking at a bad network/print the server maps in the P2055.

  I also had problems printing over the network to the hp p2055dn. There was no problem via USB printing. All the network settings were ok. Can ping, etc...

  Number of days of bickering, finally found that the Config.Security Network should be reset on the physical control of the printer Panel.

  Press Ok on the Control Panel printer--> press down arrow, you get to Setup Menu Network Config--> press Ok--> a number of arrows down you get to Config network. Security--> press Ok--> you have two options - keep or reset--> choose Reset... Network printing should work fine.

• HP 2520HC: install the software of the printer over the network

  Hello

  I use the HP 2520HC series at the office. I use a network connection.

  Printing works fine, however I want to be able to scan as well. I downloaded the printing software, but the only option I choose, connect via USB? The printer is connected to another PC, so this isn't an option.

  Please help me.

  Hello

  such a USB printer allow only all features on a directly connected USB computer.

  Sharing a printer over the network allows sharing of a printer, Windows don't offer any scanner, the sharing feature.

  You can print from another PC to a shared printer, you will not be able to analyze such, to analyze the use of the computer connected directly to your printer via a USB port.

  Kind regards

• HP ENVY 4520: HP Envy 4520 - refusing to Scan over the network

  Hello

  We currently have a HP Envy 4520, which print, however don't scan or copy over the network.

  I have downloaded and run the HP doctor tool, but it crashes to Windows Image Acquisition (WIA). This article has been read a few topics here, I restarted the following three services:

  1. Remote procedure call (RPC)
  2. Shell Hardwarew
  3. Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)

  Once I finished at the outset what precedes, the scanner worked as expected. However after a reboot - the problem is more severe. The doctor program crashes at the same section and restart services fail to achieve something.

  All software and drivers are up-to-date by using what has been provided on the HP website.

  The error messages vary as well, for example Adobe, I see "fatal error. Commissioning stopped. "

  Hi @DocCottle

  Thanks for your response!

  I managed to solve the problem. After you reset the windows service, you must then make sure that the printer restarts too! I didn't do that. Once done all is well!

• Why convert? What is the advantage? Why convert it before you send the data over the network?

  Hello everyone.

  I have a question quite simple and intuitive. Yet Google does not seam to get the answer.

  Basically, I'm curious why should we catalogued something? It seems to me that it's just a little like a "band-aid" for editing data in conversion to a new data type, when it is not properly declared with an appropriate data type. What would be the advantage of this?

  Furthermore, I see a lot of data type casting to U8 programs before sending it over the network. Various reviews say it's for speed, but I can't understand how it improves speed. The same amount of data is still sent, just in a different type of data. This is overcoming a limitation of the network. The network somehow send smaller data types faster?

  I've been curious about this for a while and have yet to find an answer. Any help is appreciated.

  Thank you

  It really depends on the specific situations.

  For example, some functions explicitly require certain types of data as inputs if they are not polymorphic.

  This means that if you do not convert the data yourself and you will see a red dot forced LabVIEW will do it for you.

  As to why the data was not the correct data type in the first place, it is sometimes inevitable.

  A few examples

  -What happens if you just read a text file as a long string.

  If there is digital data in this file, you need to analyze, and then convert it to a usable type (int, sgl, dbl, etc.)

  -you are given a 3rd part VI, dll, etc. that returns a numeric value as a double, but you need the value to I8.

  You cannot change the output of the function given to you, so what you can do to remedy this situation is cataloged data.

  Somehow, this is my first response, but in a more general sense.

  Many functions down to the level of the OS run in binary.

  If your data are not already in binary, the sending computer must convert it to binary, and then send it, have the receiving computer convert in return.

  Two conversions on each side of the transmission add unnecessary delays.
