printer will not connect with my laptop!

Hi, I currently have a Dell Inspiron Mini, and I had a problem with my printer recently. I tried to search for the printer, but it won't allow MS to set it as default printer, so when I go into Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc, I can't use my print to print because it says that there is no printer availible. I tried to solve the problem, but there is a message that indicates that there has been no problems found. Help, please!

Unless you provide details of the printer, make and model its all guesswork.

  • HP printer will not connect with the new modem

    I just installed a new modem which has replaced a router and a modem.   But now my Printer (Deskjet j310a) HP does not work.  The window of the poster printer 'Wireless is not connected' shows you settings button choice: Disable wireless. WPS; Default values.  I don't know what to do and would like to return printer.  And before I changed modem, there was a small symbol of bluetooth on the bottom of the screen and it is gone now.  Any ideas?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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,

  • 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 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.

    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.
