• 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 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!

  Dave.

  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.

  I have an all-in-one Dell XPS running Windows 7 machine.

  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,

  Tom

• HP officejet 6500 e709n NOT connected via usb to a pc running windows xp

  I have a hp officejet 6500 e709n connected via usb to a pc running windows xp.  It has stopped printing.  I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer software.  Now, when you try to install, I get the screen of "connect your device now' which indicates that the printer is not connected.  I've tried different USB ports on the pc with the same result.  Has anyone else encountered this situation?

  Uninstalled and reinstalled several times and finally got running again.  This can be closed.

• 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 6980 will not install via USB or network

  I've recently updated my PC with a new mother/case/CPU card, etc. and trying to set up my Deskjet 6980 he tries to install two separate drivers.  One is named HP Deskjet 6980 DOT4USB and the other just HP Deskjet 6980.  Dot4USB installation is complete, however the drivers for "Hp deskjet 6980" fail.  The printer indicates only in my "devices and printers" as "HP Deskjet 6980" with an icon of troubleshooting.  whenever I run troubleshoot it tells me I need to install the drivers.  He's trying to install the drivers through troubleshooting or Windows Update every time, she fails.

  I tried to uninstall all instances of the name Deskjet from my computer, turn off the printer, restarted my computer and then turn on the printer/plug again for the same results.

  I plugged my printer on the network and while my laptop has no connection/printing problem, when I try to add it as a network printer in "Devices and printers" it gives me an error message saying "unable to install.  "Double check the name of the printer and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.  I tried both options "Use the driver is installed" and "replace the driver" and both give me the cannot install message.

  Some tips on what might be the problem or how to fix?  I downloaded each item including HP Deskjet 6980 on site without success.

  Windows 7.  As mentioned, the printer works perfectly when connected to my laptop via USB or wireless connection, my PC just does not want to connect via either.

  HP Print & Scan doctor tells me that I must not get the installer of your website, however there is no installer for Deskjet 6980.  The "Printer Install Wizard" & "Hardware diagnostic utility" mean that the printer is not supported by the software.   When I plug in the printer it goes through the process of installing driver as follows:

  

  I tried the update through troubleshooting, Windows Update and even to get the file on the Microsoft Web site (pg no longer exists). I thought about trying to find the driver on my laptop, but I'm not sure the actual name of the file what.

  * EDIT *.

  Looks like I solved the problem myself.  I don't know why, but my printer has appeared only at random in my Uniblue DriverScanner program (it would not be displayed when I looked before).  I was able to download & install from program Driverscanner and my printer works perfectly.  A strange question, but at least it was an easy fix.

  Thank you.

• Printer will not connect

  Time Warner gave me a new modem, and now I can not connect my printer Brother wireless network. The router is connected to my destop and I can't connect it (IP 192.168.1.1) from the desktop. However, I can login to my devices (iPhone, iPad, computer laptop). If I enter the IP 192.168.0.1, it opens my cable modem.

  Brother says that I have to reset the printer network adapter. They told me to connect an ethernet cable from the printer to the router, get an IP address from the printer, open a browser, enter the IP address and press ENTER. I got a valid IP (192.168.1.6), but the Web management screen brother does not open. IE9 says it cannot display the page and Firefox Mozilla says it has expired. Brother, says that the printer works as it should. The problem is in the router.

  My printer gateway IP is 192.168.1.1.

  Is there a way to get the printer connected?

  Howard

  P.S. I am running Vista. Old computer and old router. Probably in time to get a new computer.

  Elaine,

  Thanks for your reply. I solved this. For some reason, my network does not recognize my printer on my desk. I have connected a USB cable from the desktop computer to the printer and print. My network recognizes my printer from my laptop. My printer print wireless from my laptop. My office is eight years old, probably has something to do with it.

  Printer has been successfully implemented and operational, but today the blue light flashes, it does not connect to our wireless and will not be the same impression with ubs. I disconnected and reconnected several times and removed and reloaded the software, but the problem persists.

  Turn off the router and the printer. Turn on the router, wait 3 min. Turn on the printer and see if it connects to the router.
