• 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.

• Sharing printers has stopped working for me. MacBook Air "think" printer is not connected.

  Sharing printers has stopped working for me. I have an Epson Stylus Photo R340 connected by USB to my Mac Mini end of 2012, and until recently, my MacBook Air has been able to print to it. Now, he 'thinks' the printer is not connected. Computers are on WiFi. Both computers have an OS X 10.11.5 now and the latest driver of Epson printer. Printer sharing is enabled in preferences, sharing, and "Share this printer on the network" is checked in the preferences, printers and Scanners. I went through the hoops to remove the printer and add it again on the Mini and the MacBook Air.

  Of course, the Mini prints very well via USB. Someone has an idea (that I have not already tried) how to get the sharing of printers to work again?

  Other sharing services work, such as the file and screen sharing?

• 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.

• Canon printer does not connect via the IPP Protocol

  I work in a company that sells printers offices/schools/etc. Yesterday, we received a call from a customer indicating that the Copier, we sold them connected not to a new computer they bought.

  I went to the site and noticed that the computers in question were all purchased during 3 months and all loaded with Mac OS X El Capitan. Most was registered on 10.11.3, and some 10.11.2 and 10.11.1. All computers work turned Yosemite.

  We receive a message somewhere in the sense of "Communication error. This printer may not be able to [print], you want to save it anyway? »

  It was a cannon imageRUNNER Advanced C5235. The client declares that if he saved the printer, it would not be able to print, but would still see jams paper, messages and other statutes of the computer printer toner. After attempting to remove and reinstall the printer using the most recent driver available on the Canon Website, we received the same error, the customer received. We escalated it to Canon support, who asked us to choose LPD instead of the PPI for the Protocol, allowing the printer to you connect and start printing on all devices running El Capitan.

  After further research, to my knowledge, the ISB is more recent and has more features that the LPD, although I couldn't find much on it so I was uncertain about the origins of these two protocols, except that they were introduced in the 1990s. I know it's kind of vague, but is better/more recent than PPI LPD? If so, great. Otherwise, is there a way to solve this problem and get computers that run El Capitan to connect correctly using IPP?

  The problem here is that the driver Canon UFR2 or PS that was used on the Mac to print in ADVANCE of Canon C52xx does not support PPI. This is why you must use an alternative Protocol.

  Note that it is possible to print to the C5255 using the PPI, but you need to use the Canon PPDs which means the copier must have the kit installed Postscript printer and you get not the pretty picture base views the pilot UFR2 and PS to give you.

  Second point is that the Canon UFR2 and PS drivers, it is preferable to use HP Jetdirect-Socket to the LPD protocol. He sent larger packets and verifies the status of the target unit - LPD simply sends data to the fixed IP address so if the printer has a problem you don't get this information until you walk up to the photocopier.

  I hope this helps. Answer if you need more information.

• 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?

• 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).

• Brother HL2170W printer driver not connect with preferences, printers, adding a printer.  OS El Captain 10.11.3

  My Brother HL2170W printer has suddenly stopped working as my mac wasn't connection-one day perfect and then not next.  I deleted and reinstalled the driver, but the El Captain does not see the printer, when I click on printers and add a printer, that nothing is there.  I tried to restart and reload the driver, nothing works.  As a first step, that the message was that this printer is not connected, I tried to wake up with multiple uplugging and plug and reboots and finally remove the printer.  Then reinstalling didn't work and I'm totally stuck.  How can I get this printer to be visible and connected?

  The display of a network in the add a printer printer relies on the Hello Protocol. For a printer not to be shown then it seems indicate a problem with the Bonjour service. A workaround solution is to create a printer using the IP address of the printer. There you have to learn the address IPv4, the printer uses which can often be found by printing a page of configuration via the control panel printers. Once you have this information, you can choose to add a printer and with the default view, click the icon of intellectual property. You can then enter the IPv4 address and set the Protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket. You can leave the field empty queue and change the name of the IPv4 address to something meaningful, like brother HL2170W. The last step is to select the support brother HL2170W PPD menu use. With this set of information, you can press on the printer to add to complete the creation of the printer, and then print a document to test.

• HP 7510 AIO printer won't connect - Wired workstation, printer wireless

  Hello!  I'm talking about (and verified solution button) too early. The printer still "disappears" from the wired network XP workstation. The only difference as apply the given solution is that disconnect it now happening about every 12 hours, against every two hours.

  Ink notification has the value "only when I print.

  Static IP address is defined for all machines

  HNDU works - when the printer is visible, but hangs at the workstation if the printer is not visible.

  Follow the original comments below;

  Printer wireless HP 7510 goes - 4 station XP wireless network, w / 1 connected PC.

  I think it's fixed now... the problem seems to lie in the module that will inform you immediately if the ink is low (vs only notify me when printing).  If, during the initial installation, the user selects 'immediately', then the printer will disappear randomly. (More on "re-find" later.)

  In addition, it is difficult to change the notification of ink setting, because it doesn't seem to be 'sticky', but will sometimes flip. (I don't understand this yet).  As long as the 'notification of low ink' setting is on "only when printing", life is good.

  If the printer does not disappear, go to the Advanced tab when the printer software/firmware page, instead of the current ink level.  Reset the selection on "tell me the notification of ink" to "only when printing" and then toggle the "autoshut off' from 'NEVER' to '2 hours' and then, finally, a return to '' NEVER. ''  Then, finally, press closed on the Panel.  Printer must be connected again. To test, returned to the Photosmart 7510 app and select "Show estimated ink levels".  The meter will start at 1%, to 41% and then bounce around until it displays the ink level.

  FOR HP TECH: Please consider the "ink level notification" persisted to the registry OR to provide an of-install tool that will completely clean any prior installation of 7510 driver / app in the registry, to install a new can have this setting properly recorded.

  Hope this helps some of you: it's a great printer after its running!

• 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.
