Printer HP Photosmart 5520: Unable to connect to the computer

I recently set up my HP Photosmart 5520, including with web connected HP services. My laptop immediately after the passage of the printer, I am able to print correctly. However, after some time, the connection between the printer and the laptop is lost and when I try to print, I get an error message:

However, if I send a mail with an attachment to the printer the printer still prints the document. This suggests that it is connected to the internet, but anyway not via WiFi for my laptop. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hey @mb218,

Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

I understand that you are experiencing connectivity problems when you use your HP Photosmart e-all-in-one 5520, printer in combination with your Windows laptop.  I want to help you with this.

The first thing I recommend you try running HP and Scan Doctor for Windows printing.  Click here to install.  Ideally, this utility automatically detect and correct problems with the configuration of your software.

If this basic approach is short, I recommend that you click here to access a HP article that provides more details and more intense network troubleshooting steps.  In particular, you may find that Solutions 2 and 3 are useful for strengthening your wireless connection.

Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking on the 'Thumbs Up' icon below.

Thanks again for your post and have a great day!

  • Unable to connect to the computer using wifi

    A got a new Sony HX30V and tried to use the feature "send to the computer. He is able to connect to the wi - fi home and also able to detect the name of the computer to which it is supposed to transfer the photos to. However, during the process to actually connect to the computer, it throws a "network error" after trying for about 30 seconds. I have Windows 8 running on my system. Any ideas how to solve this?

    After spending hours and hours with exactly the same problem, I found the solution. I tried with 2 computers with different OS, 2 different networks, and I read a lot of posts...

    The problem behind it is that you could not transfer images using WIFI while your computer is also connected via WIFI.  Then:

    (1) connect your computer using the connection of the cable to the access point.

    (2) connect the camera via USB to your computer and make sure that the PlayMemories software detects the camera.

    (3) then, unplug the unit and send images to the computer using WIFI.

    If this does not work because the shipment never ends, and then review:

    (1) the battery should not be weak, or if she is then connect the camera to the power supply.

    (2) the distance from the camera to the access point must be short (maximum of 3 meters), otherwise it is too slow.

  • PhotoSmart 6520: unable to connect to the site w / wireless

    I recently had an unsolvable problem with my Photosmart 6520 involving his inabilaty to print photos.  It has now almost completely off.  I use it with my desktop (using WIN XP) and two other laptops in the House (the one with WIN 7, the other with 8)

    Last week, we noticed that it's no longer access wireless.  The two laptops showed that it among their devices, but he showed in offline mode.  After being unable to reset it online, I deleted the WIN phone 7 to to see if I could find him.  He is unable to do so.  The machine to WIN 8 had no better luck.

    I don't know if the two problems are related, and while I rarely print from the laptop, I'm worried that it may be symptomatic of a breakdown coming in the opposite direction.

    Earlier today, he gave a paper size mismatch message when I tried to run a normal report for the main tray.  I ran diagnostics on this topic and got to resume printing, but I see the smear of ink on the edges of a few leaves.

    The unit is a little less than two years.  Should I waive this subject, or is - this salvagable?

    Hello @PFR443,

    I understand that, as well as a print quality problem, you are also not able to print wirelessly with your all-in-one Photosmart HP 6520. Now, I previously working with you on the following thread: Photosmart 6520 refuses to print photos and had exhausted all efforts to solving the problems with you. In the end, I had to refer you to our queue of Technical Support for the hardware support that your product has met a hardware failure, from which it cannot recover from.

    Part of our troubleshooting was to run a semi Full Reset. We had done that on March 2, 2015. If you remember, this semi Full Reset resets all the settings of your printer. This includes wireless information. Therefore, the wireless feature will need to be reconfigured from scratch on your product. The printer should also be added to each computer that you use with to re-establish the wireless connection.

    If you still want to attempt to reconfigure and reinstall your printer wireless, I can provide you with these steps. But your product is defective. Therefore, things will continue to act on you until you get that fix the printer or replace it with another model.

    Please let me know if you want to continue troubleshooting wireless. I look forward to hear from you!

  • HP Officejet Pro 6830: HP Officejet Pro 6830 - unable to connect to the computer

    Hello

    I just replaced my Officejet6500 with an Offiejet 6830

    I have lived throughout the configuration stage until the software looked for the printer and it cannot be found. the printer is confirmed as connected to the same network as the computer's wireless so I don't know why it is not to be discovered

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thank you very much

    Mike

    Hey @mfbar,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that printer e-all-in-one Officejet 6830 and your Mac OS x 10.10 machine are not communicating. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    Turn the printer off.

    While the printer is turned off, remove the power cord at the back of the router for a minute.

    When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.

    Now on the printer, click on the wireless icon that looks like a radio tower.

    • If the IP address starts with 169.254, the printer is not getting a valid IP address. Contact your internet provider or one that provided you with the router for assistance in ensuring the router assigns IP addresses.
    • If the IP address starts with 172, the printer is connected to a network of comments. Contact your internet provider or one that provided you with the router for assistance with deactivation of the feedback network.
    • If the IP address begins with 192.168, the printer is properly connected to the network. Please see below.
    • If the IP address begins with any other number, the network is maintained. Contact your computer or the one who manages the assistance network.

    Once the above is done, if the Mac is still not able to detect the printer then the next step is to contact your internet provider or the one who provided the router. When you do, ask them to:

    • Open all ports.
    • Select multicast.
    • Disable MAC filtering/MAC cloning.
    • Make sure that the router has a band of 2.4 GHz (gigahertz).

    Please let me know the results after following the above. If you are able to connect to your printer, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • Unable to connect to the computer because the password is not be accepted.

    Hello

    So yesterday, I decided to put a password on my pc (Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit), but when I turned on my pc today, he immediately said that I have to enter a user name and a password first.

    But I did have the chance to fill in anything but it was weird.

    Anyway, I pressed OK and it sent me to the login screen.

    All of a sudden there is 2 users, instead of one, but none of them was my account.

    They both had no name or avatar so they were square just empty, and they're all two protected by Word.

    My password does not work on both accounts, so I can not connect. I tried to get with Safe Mode, but even then he asked me a password!

    I have a few projects out there that need to be finished and send it within 2 weeks so I really need these files.

    I don't mind if I have to format my whole hard drive, but is it possible to go beyond the login screen?

    Or just a way at least to get some files?

    All advice is appreciated!

  • Unable to connect to the computer, as it requires a password

    Title: password original problem

    Using Windows 7.  Note of the screen says I have to enter a password to unlock my PC.  I've never assigned a password so that I can not start.  What can I do to use this computer?

    Using Windows 7.  Note of the screen says I have to enter a password to unlock my PC.  I've never assigned a password so that I can not start.  What can I do to use this computer?

    Someone probably set up an automatic logon process that gets Windows to remember your password at logon. These passwords are easily forgotten because they are never used. Here's what you need to do:

    1. Forcibly restart the machine by pressing the power button for 10 seconds.
    2. Log in normally.
    3. Change your screen saver so that it does not require a password.
    4. Create, test, and document an admin account to spare, even you have a spare House key. This will save you a lot of trouble. It would have saved you this time too!

    Thank you very much Forest.  I am 86 and still learning.
