• Photosmart 5524: MGP1CN1610AR update the Firmware on HP PhotoSmart 5524 on September 14, 2016 broke wireless printing

  I have a question which I believe is related to the MGP1CN1610AR firmware update that was released on September 14, 2016 and auto installed on my HP Photosmart 5524.  Since the update I can print is no longer my laptop Windows 10, or my iPhone with iOS 10.  I can, however, send an e-mail to my HPEPrint account and this shows with success - which proves that the printer is connected to the internet and WiFi.

  My network is provided by my BT HomeHub 5 with BT infinity.  The status of router, the printer displays intermittently as connected then disconnected.  This is since the update of the firmware.

  Is it possible to restore the firmware on the printer? OR is there a known solution to get my WiFi printing works again.

  Hi RTD_HPUser,

  Thank you for your answer!

  I'm glad you found a solution that worked for you. About the firmware, as long as the Web service is enabled, you can select the icon Web Services, settings, and then select printer Update, then the update is automatic, and turns off. This will prevent the firmware update on the printer.

  If you are unable to reach a resolution, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  These settings are to set up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, wireless devices stay better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.

  While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers must always be assigned an IP (fixed) manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network.

  1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
  2. Or check in the printer that ' Auto Off/sleep/power saving mode ' is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check the properties of your printers.
  3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
  4. If necessary and you have assigned a static IP address, try using auxiliary for the preferred DNS Server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS server.
  5. Wireless printers work on the band Wireless 2.4 Ghz not the band 5.0 Ghz.
  6. Make sure the printer is on the latest firmware by checking with the HP support site.
  7. Check all devices wireless in your home for interference. Check microwave, babyphones, phones, wireless and wireless alarm systems are a big culprit.  Any of these will knock at your printer wireless intermittently.
  8. Make sure that your printer and router are at least 5 feet independently of each other.

  In the router: (refer to the manual of your router for more information)

  1. Use a fixed wireless channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
  2. Set the router to 20 Mhz only or 145Mbps router function.
  3. Always use WPA2-AES encryption (personal), but you can try the "mixed" mode
  4. Disable the WPS and never use it and disable the UPnP for the security of routers. No one can hijack your system now and help with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, research on the web).
  5. If you have a router dual band (2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz bands), make sure the SSID is NOT identical, they must be different for all the bands, even for networks without comments.
  6. SSID broadcast should be enabled.
  7. Save all the settings. Food at the same time, wait 2 minutes.  Power on router wait 2 minutes.
  8. Marketing the printer and check that it reconnects to the router.

  Windows 7/8/8.1 is discovered the system on or off?

  1. Control Panel/Network and Internet/network and sharing Center / advanced sharing settings.
  2. Under home or work (current profile) / network discovery.

• HP 5540: 5540 HP printer don't wake up automatically

  My printer HP Envy 5540 will automatically wake up when I give a print job. I have to manually press the touch screen on the printer to wake him each time after his idle for several hours.

  I know the auto disable the feature after 2 hours, but according to the manual it must wake up if the printer is connected to a network. I have my printer connected to the wifi n/w all the time but I still have to intervene manually everytime when the printer has been idle for several hours. It's really frustrating.

  I hope someone can help solve my problem.

• HP Color Laserjet 2605dn: Print is washed out/completely wilted on printer 2605dn

  We have a Laserjet 2605dn HP color printer has intermittent printing problems. Most of the time, the quality of the printed output is very well, but from time to time, the print quality deteriorates completely. After a while, printing then returned back its normal quality.

  The printer is on a network and serves as WIndows XP/7/8/10 and Linux machines as it has throughout his life. He has never had a genuine HP toner cartridges installed. It is not heavily used, we print usually less than 100 pages per week, often less.

  The problem is that out of all the colors and black, gets so bad as to be unreadable. The printed output is so washed out it's (almost) impossible to read anything through the entire page. This can happen for all the pages of an entire document, but often it will print the first part of a multipage fine print job and then the quality deteriorates gradually to illegibility. Subsequent print jobs will also sometimes unreadable, but are also likely to print correctly. There seems to be trigger (that we can determine) this behavior or when it will happen well.

  While the printer was used for a few years, he printed out a little more than 20 000 pages in total. This leads me to think that age should not be a problem. We replaced all the cartridges, tried recalibration, print cleaning pages, all without success. I found a solution for a problem of fading Magenta also requires cleaning the mirrors, but our problem is not that same as - everything fades to nothing in our printer, it is not a case of a single color fade a little, is much more radical than that.

  Suggestions as to how we could solve this problem? Is there additional information that might help diagnose the cause and suggest a fix?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  It looks like I won't get my hands dirty inside this printer after all. The boss decided it would probably be too annoying overall for me (US) to try to fix it. So he decided to buy a new color printer and remove it.

  Thanks for the answers to my questions.

  Now I just need to find how to mark it as "resolved", or otherwise close it, as appropriate in this forum.

  I just started to have print failure, intermittent first now complete after 1 + years...  There is no msg error "on the screen"; It just doesn't print and printing log says "error-printing" I tried to 'reboot' by using HP printer and have searched for software updates to resolve this problem recently.

  I tried to print in IE and Foxfire with the same result.

  Thank you for the diagnosis. I have no idea what happened, but with 0 error messages, he said all checks OK and ran a "test print" OK. From there, he works in all applications. Thank you very much.

• Printer not connected

  I install a HP Office Jet Pro 8600 on a wireless connection to my Mac (latest version of office).  I installed the printer and sometimes can't get the Mac to recognize the printer.  Intermittently, when the printer prints first it hangs on the first 1 percent of employment, then after a while, it prints the page.  The next few pages print ok, but when I go to print the printer is "not connected" again, the wireles light is blue fixed on the printer. If I disconnect the power to the wireless D-Link device, wait one minute then plug back power after a period of time that the printer could appear as connected again. My iPad works fine on the wireless network connection.  All Mac Book my wife does not recognize the printer on the wireless network.  I noticed that the ipv4 addresses are slightly different peripheral oneach, my Mac, thePrinter, my wife Mac Book.  The dfference is the last digit of the ipv4 address.  Previously, I bought a printer that has had the same problem with wireless unti l configuration took everything to the Mac for my 'One on One' store Lemark and a partner that does the job with a magic switch to apple.  The Lexmark printer is now in the Trash because he's stuck with paper so frequently that it opened, before ink cartridges (minimal) have even used, but it is another story.  On two printer, on the point of post appointment. Help, please.

  IP addresses are supposed to be different, it's how the devices are identified by the router.

  D-link routers can have trouble with HP printers.  Make sure that the firmware is updated on your router.

  Finally, we will set an IP address of 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 192.168.0.100 a.199.  We will use 192.168.0.220 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.
  -Click 'apply '.

  Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

  Download and install this: support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  We will restore the print system:

  -Go to System Preferences > print & Scan
  -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
  -Select the sign more to add a printer. Select the default tab on the top of the window. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

• HP Designjet T790ps 24 in.: how to replace the outdated cartridge Message

  I have a T790 that shows shows an expired HP 72 Magenta cartridge.  40ml of ink remaining in the cartridge a.  The printer worked intermittently after he extinguished/turned on, print diagnostic impressions and other seemingly random measures, however, there seems to be noting I can do to print on Windows 10 device at this time.  I have the latest firmware and the printer driver and the printer will reprint items in the work queue.  I can't find instructions on the printer, in the user manual, or the ink cartridge expiration on the computer screen message that tell me how to replace even if this page (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01764161) says it is possible for the T790.  Can someone help me?

• OfficeJet Pro 8625: HP8625 sleep mode/wireless network connectivity

  I recently bought an OfficeJet Pro 8625 and it worked fine for a few days, with everyone in the House, being able to print wireless connection network (Verizon FIOS via an Airport base station).  However, now it won't keep (or restore) a Wi - Fi connection after going to sleep.

  I can get the printer to work, if I turn it works, then immediately print (but only one machine... If I need to print from two different computers, I have to restart again to use the second computer).

  This is the case for all computers in my house - using several OS X (El Capitan, Mavericks and Snow Leopard) and the other with Windows 10.  I tried the troubleshooting tips that I could locate, and the firmware is up to date.

  I should be able to send a document to the printer from anywhere in the House, from any computer, without walking to the printer and restart it first.  A network printer should be sprained able himself, reconnect to the wifi and print jobs sent to it, but mine doesn't.

• Totally frustrated

  Product name: HP OfficeJet Pro 6830
  Operating system: Microsoft Windows 7 (32 bit)
  Get an OfficeJet after another, as it is the only design that fits into my office at home on many levels.
  
  This is all new to me is so frustrating me.
  
  The power saving mode seems to stop completely from the printer, or at least enough that sending a new print job to the printer don't IS NOT wake him automatically. Sounds strange, as each printer, I've never had before it wakes up when you print mode 'sleep'.
  
  I looked through the help and there seems to be no way to disable the mode 'sleep' altogether. I also watched the auto turn on certain features of the hours, but those who still have the mode "sleep" which are attached to them.
  
  Am I missing something? Is it really necessary to manually hit the power button to wake up this version before you print each job send you as the computer sleeps?
  
  Thank you

• OfficeJet 6968: Officejet 6968 loses connectivity after sleep

  OfficeJet 6968: easy to undertake together upwards more wireless, then it totally fails when energy saver or sleep mode is used (what's it called depends on whether you are looking at the screen of the machine or its settings via a computer). This has been a very difficult and aggravating problem, because it makes you think that everything is connected and is doing so well. Then, suddenly, nothing connects more - not the computer, not an ipad, no access to assistance from the IP address of devices, etc. - which works perfectly a single minute there!  Tried a different printer (started with a 6978) and have the same problem, so it is either something in the software or an incompatibility with my wireless set up.

  After searching for hours through the forum and seeing other problems with sleep/energy saver, followed the problem down to the sleep/wake. Modification of the duration of sleep for 5 to 10 minutes moved the problem of connectivity to 10 minutes.

  6968 actually stopped in the middle of an active print job. Just left. 12 pages for a job of 24 pages. Restarted printer and it has taken over part of the work.  Apparently sleep energy saver does not care if it is actually used. Same problem, try to load the software on the computer. About 5 minutes in the Setup routine, when comes the sales pitch for the service of the ink, the computer displays that it loses the connection with the printer. So much for the implementation.

  An aggravating role through all of this, is that the screen of the printer says it is connected to the network. Gives no sign of problems. He sleeps screen darkens, you press a button to wake up and then it signals that all is well. Blue network light solid. The specified IP address. Thin connection. Apparently not, as no computers or phones or Ipads can see it... shows as disconnected in the devices in the computer. And the journal of router sees cut right to the 5 minute mark (or 10 when the value for that) almost to the second!

  Access its settings through its IP address, tried to update the software and guess what... hit the 5 minute mark and he has even stopped the update process. So apparently this timer sleep-saving energy company outweighs everything else what is the printer.  Incredible.

  Abandoned the wireless for a cable to the old (luckily I had one, because apparently the cables, printed instruction manuals and the owners are too outdated these days for HP technology). Turn off the radio. print a test very well. Waited for the printer screen to go black, indicating "standby" mode. Tried to print close to success when the printer on, then he sat down and gave the blue circle of frustration... "Printing"... 'Printing'... posted for almost 5 minutes... then 'Cancel'... fed with a blank page, whirred and leading in-house for a minute, then fed a page with strips that looked like smeared barcode. So about 10 minutes in a revival completely fail - and this with a CABLE not my wireless, has if clearly it has a sleep problem in the HP software. Perhaps the ultimate energy saver?  After all this he printed a test very well - however, after a wake upward, wasted paper and ink failure and not forgetting the 10 minutes. To print a single word: 'TEST '.

  Unfortunately, there seems to be no way to completely disable mode 'sleep'. Heck, it would be better to just completely turn the thing, as the time to roll a reboot is much less than the time to wake up and move to a successful impression, but the off timer is the order of the hours is no help. Certainly, it would be a really poor solution for a printer whose main selling point is a wireless connectivity for multiple devices!

  All I wanted to do 3 weeks ago was replace a dead Canon printer. Worst experience HP I had in the 1930s. Thus, HP. Any other ideas? Just somehow disable this sleep BS?

  Number of brand and model of the router?

  These settings are to set up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, wireless devices stay better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.

  While the DHCP is convenient, devices like printers must always be assigned an IP (fixed) manually to avoid conflicts on your wireless network.

  1. Set a static in the printer IP address (click here) outside the range of the DHCP of the router (check your manual). It is for Linksys routers, but can be used for all routers. Check your DHCP range and change this first if necessary. More Help Wireless Printing is here (Windows solution 4, static IP).
  2. Or check in the printer that ' Auto Off/sleep/power saving mode ' is disabled the System Mode Time Out is set to zero (0) Use the built-in webserver (EWS) by visiting the printer address IP address in the address bar of your browser, click on settings tab/Auto Off. Or use the printer, printer Home Page (EWS) Wizard. Also check the properties of your printers.
  3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, disable the IPv6 option in the printer.
  4. If necessary and you have assigned a static IP address, try using auxiliary for the preferred DNS Server 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as DNS server in the printer.
  5. Wireless printers work on the band Wireless 2.4 Ghz not the band 5.0 Ghz.
  6. Make sure the printer is on the latest firmware by checking with the HP support site.
  7. Check all devices wireless in your home for interference. Check microwave, babyphones, phones, wireless and wireless alarm systems are a big culprit.  Any of these will knock at your printer wireless intermittently.
  8. Make sure that your printer and router are at least 5 feet independently of each other.

  In the router: (refer to the manual of your router for more information)

  1. Use a fixed wireless channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
  2. Set the router to 20 Mhz only or 145Mbps router function.
  3. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal-PSK) encryption, but you can try the "mixed" mode
  4. Disable the WPS and never use it and disable the UPnP for the security of routers. No one can hijack your system now and help with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, research on the web).
  5. If you have a router dual band (2.4 Ghz and 5.0 Ghz bands), make sure the SSID is NOT identical, they must be different for all the bands, even for networks without comments.
  6. SSID broadcast should be enabled.
  7. Always make sure your router is on the latest firmware.
  8. Save all the settings. Food at the same time, wait 2 minutes.  Power on router wait 2 minutes.
  9. Marketing the printer and check that it reconnects to the router.

  Microsoft has announced an update of Windows for the detection of device address... mode devices .waking 'sleep'. Update your Windows 10.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/3147458

  If you have Windows 7/8/8.1 discovery network is on or off?

  1. Control Panel/Network and Internet/network and sharing Center / advanced sharing settings.
  2. Under home or work (current profile) / network discovery.
  3. Select "Turn on network discovery" and save the changes.

  Now the last thing to do once everything above has been tried and you still have the same problem, completely uninstall and delete the printer and its software.

  Use http://www.iobit.com/en/advanceduninstaller.php .  Use a powerful scanner at the end and remove all registry entries.

  Now go back and reinstall the drivers and full software on the HP website.

  Last resort effort - if your printer has an Ethernet connection, suggest you to get some adapters line and convert your Ethernet wiring for your printer.

• OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless: OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless does not respond after a certain time

  I use my wireless OfficeJet Pro 8000 for quite awhile now, but I have a problem that I can't solve:

  Initially, it works allright. But after a few hours, it seems to go to sleep. And it does not print jobs more. I have to put the printer 'off' and 'on '.  After that, it will print the work queue.

  I searched a timer as issues in the web interface of the printer, but can't find anything that points to a solution.

  The printer is connected wireless to my router, using a 'fixed' IP address

  Can someone help me, please?

  Thankx

• Intermittent operation of the finger print recognition device

  Recently I bought the Elite X 2-1011 with 512 GB that comes with Windows 8.1 (the last batch I guess) on the Setup, he asked if I want to switch to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit, so I click Yes and continue to upgrade to Windows 10

  After the upgrade, I met some problems, recognition apparatus HP Client Security, Manager of Intel's Dock and now the fingerprint on the keypad of power.  After many hours Googling and check forums I've put together some clues and solve the two problems apart from device Finger Print Reconition thie.  The problem is intermittent, some time I have to restart again and it works.  Anyone facing this problem?

  I have one of you have the other 2 problems I solved, if you need, please report it and I'll explain how to fix it

  Install the .net framework / Futures program

  After the restart of the installation

  Run Windows update
