Printing from a PC to a printer on the wireless network wireless cable

My Photosmart 7520/25 is on my wireless network that uses a Netgear router.

How can I print to this printer, using a PC running Vista Business Desktop computer that is connected to the router?

The printer is connected to the network and trying to set up the connection/print drivers on the PC, the printer is never "found".

I have no problem to print on printer even my old laptop XP wireless.

Tried a lot of things and not get the right settings or find the right key words to find the solution.

To save time, I just bit the bullet and spent $25 for a wireless USB.

Use the option "Direct print", voila! fact.

When in doubt, go with the hardware solution...

  • HP Photosmart B109: cannot connect the printer to the wireless network

    I have some setting wrong my printer for wireless printing. It has worked well in the past, but with my new macbook air - this isn't.

    I can't access the function where to add the printer to the wireless network (my router does not support WPS so his password WPA).

    I remember setting this up on a PC - easy with the driver provided by HP, but on the Mac, the configuration tool does not appear to be a function where I add the printer to the wireless network - and HP did not provide a driver, because it is supposed to work with the mac built-in software.

    The manual says only: "follow the instructions on the screen", but the printer does not have instructions on how to connect - on-screen tests, only that it is connected...

    Anyone who knows how to add the printer to a wireless network?

    Welcome to the HP community!

    I understand that you have a problem to set up all-in-one printer wireless HP Photosmart (B109n) with your new MacBook Air OS x 10.10. I want to help you with this.

    We will print a Network Configuration report to see if it is connected:

  • You can print wireless from a laptop to an HP DJ3520e not to add the printer to the wireless network?

    Is it possible to just wireless printing from the computer directly to the printer without joining the printer to the network?  If so, how?

    Thank you so much erico.  I tried and was able to print.  Well done!

  • 2605dn will not print from a computer, but another computer on the same network print very well.

    The two machines running Win 7 64 bit, both on the same network (such as a printer) all with cable connection to the local network. A single machine prints fine, but since a few days, my PC will not be printed on the printer. PING and TRACERT it is correct, and I tried removing/reinstalling the printer several times. Using the PCL6 driver, as well as a specific driver for printer have same results.  Anyone else having this problem?

    After almost 12 hours of continuous hair-pulling, finally ran across the solution on a Microsoft forum site: it turns out that the problem was a recent update of anti-virus software (McAfee, specifically) who changed the firewall settings.  Can't seem to get the AV software allow constantly to the printer, but temporarily disable the firewall in the AV software has solved the problem.  (the other machine running another AV software package)  I have to just be careful during this 15 minute period.

    Anyway, if you have a similar problem, make sure to check the firewall settings.

    Hey @benjaminllim,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have some problems with the connection of your Deskjet 3050 has e-all-in-one printer to your computer Mac OSX 10.11. 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:

    1. Turn the printer off:
    2. While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router for a minute.
    3. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.
    4. Disable any antivirus, firewall or security of your Mac software.
    5. Try to run the installer.

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

  • Can't find existing printer on the wireless network

    I'm trying to establish a connection between a laptop recent Dell running Windows 7 and HP C7250 printer that is connected to the same network without wire connected to the computer.  I downloaded the correct driver from HP and during the installation process the installer wants to know how I want to set up the connection between the computer and the printer.  I select "wireless network" and the software goes out and tries to find the printer.  It relates, again, that there is no printer on the network.  I tried the advanced search option of installation of HP - looking for the printer using its IP address (which I have of it is implemented the process) but it is impossible to find out who way or the other.  The printer has already been successfully implemented to communicate with the network (it indicates that it is connected, provides the IP address, etc.).  I know that the computer works on the wireless network: she uses this path to connect to the internet.  I wonder why this printer is not found.  Troubleshooting HP message suggests that the computer security software can block recognition.  I am running MS Security Essentials.  Is it possible this?  The printer cannot provide the correct information on the network for any reason any?  BTW, this configuration was working at once but then stopped for some reason any.  I followed all instructions associated with this facility but havecome in the gaps.  Any suggestions on how I could disturb more pull this problem?

    The likely cause is the security setting. A few things to try:

    1. Open your browser and the IP address of the printer.  If the printer is properly connected to the network, you should see the web server integrated for the printer.  If this succeeds, then go to step 2, otherwise study why the printer isn't appearing any more on the network.
    2. Download and run the HP Network Diagnostic Utility. It will solve various aspects of network connectivity.
    3. If the above does not resolve the problem, then follow the steps in this additional debugging page, which may include to manually adjust the settings of the firewall as shown here.   There are a number of ports that the AIO units use to communicate with the computer.

  • connect the printer to the wireless network

    I have a HP Photosmart C4580 and I'm trying to connect to my wifi on my mac network. I used it for a long time to print via USB cable but I want to print wireless.

    Help please? It drives me crazy. I don't know what to try next.

    Thanks for the reply

    Since you have the Mac OSX 10.9.2 from a USB connection to the wireless is a little more difficult, only because there is no complete features of HP software to help us.

    First, you will need to restore the default settings of network on the printer. For that;

    • Press the Wireless on the product
    • Press the button next to the arrow down on the screen until restore network
      Default is highlighted and press OK.
    • Confirm that you want to restore the default settings of the network.
    • Press again the Wireless on the product
    • Press the button next to the arrow down on the screen until Turn Radio One or turn
      Radio Off is highlighted, and press OK. (Radio must be on)

    Now, on your Mac, click the wireless on the left corner ( ) and join hpsetup. Once the Mac is connected to this network, we need on the printer print a test report;

    • Press the Wireless on the product.
    • Press the button next to the arrow down on the display until wireless network
      Test is highlighted, and press OK.
    • Make a note of the IP address

    Open Safari on Mac and enter the IP address in the address bar, a page of the printer should load for you. Click on network > Wireless (802.11) > advanced, which should bring you to this page:

    From there you can enter the SSID of the network you want to connect, enter the WEP or WPA - PSK password and apply the setting. Once the printer is connected to the network, replace the Mac on your network and you should be able to add the printer.

    Let me know if it works for you

  • Cannot find the printer on the wireless network

    My new 6500 a 710n-z printer copier copies very well.  Also, it detects the wireless network and is given an address 169.254.182.35.  I have reset the router several times using the WPS button.  But after I installed the software on my netbook ACER Windows XP, the computer cannot find the printer.  I spent three days trying to get the $% # ^ & * to work.  I see in some documents to get a 169.254. IP address, so I'm probably not connected?  But what to do?

    Well Yes, a 169.254 IP address... is auto-assignée when he can't get one from the router.  The WPS button does not reset the router.

    Do this on the printer: Setup > network > Wireless Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions.

    Hi all

    I apologies if someone read this the Forum of Acrobat Pro, but I was told I can get help on this forum. I have a problem that I'm beating my head up against. In my company, we have certain pdf documents that have been created using LiveCycle for our movement from the Green go 'paperless', but we hit a snag. We have some 'virtual' in use printers with our management software document who work as printers in normal network, but instead of capturing an image of the printed document and run OCR on our documents for the record-keeping. Each pdf document has its own virtual printer to recognize appropriate to use OCR models. To this end, we have many virutal sweepers for many of our documents. We love our LiveCycle documents but, when you try to use javascript to print on a particular network printer we found our complication. We do not map the printers using windows or to train our employees on their profile network printers adding as there is so much, and each document is assigned to a virtual OCR printer, we want the document has a built-in button that automatically prints which assigned virtual printer.

    If I open a document and edit it with Acrobat 9 Pro, I can simply place a button field and add this java code:

    var pp = this.getPrintParams ();

    pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.Automatic;

    pp.printerName="\\\TOSHIBABILLING2\\pcl6 ';

    This.Print (pp);

    and the system prints on the printer network perfectly. However, if I use this same javascript in LiveCycle we get nothing. Further reading I found some details that I can't use this same script to print to the printer network using LiveCycle and am so at a loss.

    I tried to open the form in Acrobat 9 Pro to modify and just add the button using Acrobat Pro, but every time I change the document, it opens LiveCycle Designer.

    I don't know which forum to use as this problem has been found between the work with both programs. Can someone help me change the code for LiveCycle, or at least to find a way to open the document in Acrobat 9 Pro for just add the "print" key to the shape of LiveCycle. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thirsty just translated us your script that uses the Acroform model to use the xfa template, it should work... right?

    Your code in an xfa form would look like this:

    var oDoc = event.target;

    var pp = oDoc.getPrintParams ();

    pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.Automatic;

    pp.printerName="\\\TOSHIBABILLING2\\pcl6 ';

    oDoc.print (pp);

    Try and let us know if it worked.

  • Password to connect the printer to the wireless device

    Nobody knows what the password to default to connect a device like a wireless phone to the PhotoSmart 6525?  Alternatively, how do reset you the password?  I can't find on the touch screen of the printer anywhere.

    Pat

    Hi draftsman,

    I see that you are looking for a way to find the password or clear to the wireless directly on the Photosmart 6525. I managed to find a way to display the password, if it does not you should be able to restore the default values for the network.

    If you select Wireless > wireless Direct > show password, you should be able to see it there. If this does not work, go to Wireless > network by default. Restore the network default settings erases all settings, allowing you to turn Direct wireless and at this time, you can set a new password or not.

    I hope this helps.

    Hello

    Run the software of HP on the printer to the computer and use the configuration utility to set the printer to a static IP address that is out of range of the router DHCP.

    Then again that installing drivers on another networked computer that requires the use of the printer.

    If the utility cannot connect to the printer you o read the manual and set the printer manually (the printer) to connect to the wireless router).
