problem setting up wireless printer

Original title: device

I have some problem with usb cable and wireless printer setting
I'm really not sure why or what to do
It says to install a WSD printer device - don't know what it was but when tried to click on it - it would not set

First, you will need the printer drivers to find the printer (wired or wireless) on any computer that you want to configure the printer on. You can get the printer drivers from the website of the manufacturer of your computer or a disk driver that came with your computer, when you bought it. Second, all of the computers you want to connect to the wireless printer should also have the software for the installed printer. Finally, before you can get a working wireless printer there need to work with a wired connection (this should all be covered in the manual.)

See the manual for step by step installation. Visit manualowl.com or just see by the manufacturer. If you can't do that, I'm sure you can do the next step.

Contact the manufacturer of your printer. They will guide you through the installation. They will have installation instructions ready. If you have no software to install, you will need to order it or download it via the manufacturer.

  • LaserJet M1212nf: Problems setting up wireless printing

    I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my office, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wireless. I spent probably 10 + hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.

    It drives me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a society of software and very savvy in computer science. However, my non-techie family have all managed to set up wireless printing at their home in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.

    Here are the steps that I followed, although I also tried many variations, like trying with my USB cable connected or disconnected.

    (1) uninstall the current installation of the printer (USB).

    (2) on the printer itself, make sure that the settings > network settings are the default values.

    (3) using the latest drivers and installation .exe from the HP site, start a new installation of the printer.

    (4) when you are prompted, select "wireless."

    RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and indicates that he is there any printer on the network. (Huh? Which network?)

    (5) try again once and this time select "Network Setup."

    RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and says that it cannot detect a network.

    If the wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to install, I don't know where to go from here.

    (6) I also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I'm at halfway through the installation, it tells me that it cannot find my printer.

    I am suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may even not allow for wireless printing. Some info on the HP site says to check a particular button lights up to indicate that the printer is online. This light does not exist on my printer model. However, the parameters of the printer from my physics has parameters such as: "show IP address," etc., which would lead me to believe that it can work wireless.

    I have read all the help related HP printer, and there is nothing which explains, in simple language, what are the types of cables, I need to set up a network and the Wi - Fi connection, when to plug them in, what facilities to perform on the many Add - ons available, etc.. I don't know that it's a 5 minute process if there was just a good explanation in the help of the UP of how do. Assistance would be appreciated!

    Hello @SKYdiz,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you have had problems for the last 2 years and spent many hours trying to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP for wireless printing. At this point I'll provide more information about it. First of all, are sitting you?

    Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf multifunction printer isn't a model wireless printer. The "nf" at the end of the name of the printer is the abbreviation of 'network, fax. Therefore, if your printer is not able to connect to your router wireless, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable.

    All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable to the back of your printer to your router. That all devices connected to this router even (whether through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print it on your printer. For more information on configuring ethernet on your printer, please visit: Setup the printer to a wired network in Windows 7 for HP's LaserJet printers.

    Now, if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network, HP makes other Laserjet models that do not use the wireless function. Here are two LaserJet who are black only, multifunction wireless units that resemble your current printer model: HP LaserJet MFP HP LaserJet MFP M225dw Pro and M127fw Pro.

    Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. If you have other questions or concerns, I'll be more than happy to help you. Happy new year!

  • set up wireless printer

    I run windows 7 & have home network set up. Ive been able to put my daughters laptop for wireless printing. (she has windows 7 too) but my son who has xp laptop will not connect to wireless printer?

  • Problem with my wireless printer and a PC.

    I don't know anything about computers so to speak to me like I'm a fool. Here's my problem I have a C4580 All in one printer and an HP Pavilion Slimline s3700y PC. It was a package deal with the upgrade of the wireless printer. Here's the problem "it seems every time I need to print something to the screen on the printer is black. I can not even put the printer off as the symbol of the power stays on. The only way for me to print something is to unplug the printer wait a few seconds, plug it in the screen lights up and back in and I can print. "It happens all the time. No idea of what the problem is? Please help before I throw this thing out the window. Thank you Richard a. Capano

    2. how the printer is connected to the computer?
     
    This error message occurs generally when you install the printer on a network.
    When the printer asks the CD then I would suggest that you navigate to below the location by using the option of browser and check if it helps.

    If the previous step fails, then you will need the Windows XP installation CD to go further or contact the printer manufacturer for assistance.

  • Problems connecting to wireless printer

    I have a HP photosmart D110 printer. Most of the time, it has been great so far, but sometimes it disconnect and won't let me print. Now, he says that it is offline and no matter what I have changed nothing. I used the HP print and scan doctor but it says that it cannot connect with my camera. After exhausting all other options, I decided to uninstall and reinstall the software. Well, I tried to reinstall with the officail for my printer HP software but it does not work. Whenever I put the IP address of the printer in, the screen will say that it has not been found. So I tried to find the IP address without type me into it, but it still does not work. I have a wireless connection to my laptop, laptop to my printer. I can connect to the printer itself to my network, but of course, now that the software is uninstalled I can't do anything.

    I am really stuck and need help.

    Well, you will need to read the manual of your router and your printer manual.  Go to your printer support page and searching the web site of HP using too.

  • 2540: wireless printing: he says that he has but he does not!

    We have a new printer 2540 and I was setting for wireless printing. Installed on my Windows 7 laptop, no problem, even with the iPad to my wife. Also Windows 8 computer our daughter portable Compaq. Bloomin ' wonderful... Until we come to a Compaq laptop Windows 8 of my son. I installed the drivers, the same as on other devices.

    When I go to print the printer show online, the work is queued to the printer, then shows as deleted from the queue... but never actually, it prints on the printer.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver (download the latest version from the support site) also installed Windows updates and uninstalled / reinstalled again. A lot of power off / power on laptop and printer...

    I thought that perhaps there was a communication problem, but discovered that I can scan an image from the control panel and save it on this laptop so there is communication. Don't just print!

    Anyone Lese seen elsewhere? Any ideas?

    I have a HP Officejet 6000 wireless printer.  It's 2nd HP 920 XL cartridge that has not worked.  It does not show that it is empty, but it will not be printed.  Our school cannot afford to replace these at this rate.  Please let me know what to do to make this work correctly.

  • HP Deskjet 2540: Wireless printing problems with HP Deskjet 2540

    Hi all

    I have a problem with a printer HP Deskjet 2540 - it prints if I connected a USB cable; However, he refuses to print if I try to print wireless.

    I had initially solved this problem when I went into system preferences > printers and Scanners and noticed two 2540 Deskjet series icons in a window titled 'Printers '. I ended up removing one of these icons and set it as a default, which temporarily seems to solve my problem. Now, I see two icons back in the "Printers" menu and my printer refuses to print over my wireless connection.

    My printer is connected to my internet connection so I don't think there is a problem here - I also recently installed the software for this printer to make sure it wasn't some kind of driver issue; However, it doesn't give me the permanent solution, that I'm looking.

    Any advice? My operating system is OS X Version 10.9.5

    Hey @love2dance,

    Please come back to me and let me know what you have tried.  I found an article by HP which has a more in-depth approach to troubleshooting your network configuration.  Click on the title of the article and start of Solution 2 and work your way down until finish you setting up your printer successfully:

    Note that the steps are for Mac OS X 10.8 but you will find that again, as they apply to your configuration of Mavericks.

  • Photosmart Plus b210 - intermittent wireless printing problem

    Hello world

    I'm new to this forum so I appologise if I'm a little ditsy...

    I just bought a Photosmart Plus b210 and have successfully connect it wirelessly to my iMac. However, since I got it, I had a problem when trying to print wireless from it.

    When I try to print from my iMac, it will open the print job request and it will say 'sign in' at the start, but then she stays like that for about a minute or two before, it says that there is an error. At this point, I have to cancel the work because he'll just try again and give me the same result.

    I found the only time wherever it prints is when he says "connecting" then after a few seconds it will say 'inactive' and only then it will actually print. So what I'm basically doing print, wait a few seconds, if there is no 'inactive' message I'll cancel the job and reprint the document, and follow this process until I see a notification "inactive." Once I am successfully able to print a job, it will allow me to print documents more first time but it is frustrating that I have to go through this lengthy process everytime I turn on my printer.

    Someone at - it from similar solutions/experiences?

    Thank you

    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). Apple is 10.0.1.2 a.200 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 bridge and the first DNS. Let the second white.
    -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.
