  Hello

  Based on the following link, the printer doesn't have a wireless card so you can't use only a router to make wireless unless your router is also a print server, in this case, it is not.

• Mac Book Pro and HP Envy 110F wireless printing problems

  I got my Mac book Pro for Christmas 2013 and initially had no problem printing wireless to my HP Envy 110F, but for some reason, I keep getting problems with printing to the envy of 110. We don't have printing problems with our Ipad for this printer.

  I can connect the printer to my Mac book Pro by putting 192.168.1.72 IP address in a web browser, but I get on the symbol bit offline when I print the urge. Last night I reinstalled the printer to print wireless on my mac pro book using a printer cable, which then worked well, but today the same problem reappeared.

  I'm starting to think that the problem may have started with the latest version of the update of the operating system to the Mavericks 10.9.4.

  All thoughts welcome.

  Hi @UKCheshire

  Since you are able to print from the iPad to the wireless printer, I suspect you have to something. I think that the question has something to do with the communication between the printer and the computer and not between the printer and the router. Please use the following document to solve the problem; "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Mac OS X.

  If the problem persists, do not give up hope, let me know and we will work through it together.

• The HP DeskJet F4480 is set up for wireless printing?

  Hello

  When I bought my F4480, I thought it was a wireless printer.  I currently have a desktop Mac Power PC G4 running Tiger (10.4.11) and a computer laptop windows XP Pro running. The printer is connected via USB to a Mac, and I tried to set up printing wireless on the laptop. After several hours of trying, googling and looking for the manual, I finally decided to post here.

  Question 1 can we do? (if the answer is no, then "thank you" and I'll be on my way...)

  Question 2 in the affirmative and who have already installed the necessary drivers on my laptop, what is the next step?

  Sorry to be such a fool. Thanks in advance.

  Series F4400 (including your part done F4480) has USB connectivity only.  The series F4500 has USB and wireless.

  But, with the printer connected to your Mac, you can share printing works (but not scan) between the computers on your network.  To do this download and install Hello for Windows for your XP from here.  If your XP already has a version of Hello (installed by iTunes), uninstall before installing this version.

  Run it and it will find the printer connected to your Mac.  Make sure that your Mac is enabled and that it is set to never sleep (System Preferences > energy saver).

• Is there a way to block my roommates to use my MX922 wireless printer?

  I want to limit who has access to my wireless printer. I tried to do by disabling sharing home on my Mac, but still my roommates are able to print from my MX922 printer. Does anyone know how to block others?

  Hello.

  The printer is not able to restrict the access of some users.  Any user who can connect to the same local network as the printer will be able to install the device to his computer.

  The only alternative to avoid this would be to disable the LAN wireless to the printer and use the printer with a direct USB connection to your PC.

• Cannot connect Windows XP to the wireless printer.

  WINDOWS XP PRINTER WI - FI CONNECTION

  I have Windows XP Media Center Service Pack 3 OS that worked a HP Photosmart Plus B209 a - m with a USB cable.  Since I just bought a new laptop (Windows 7 Professonal OS) I decided to create a home network with a router Cradlepoint MBR 900.  The two laptops (XP and 7 OSs) were connected to the internet via the router with no problems.  Windows 7 Pro OS laptop is connected wireless to the printer Photosmart Plus, I had implemented as confiquiration wireless the printer first.  But the failure of the attempt to get the OS Windows XP Media Center to connect to the wireless printer.  During the installation process to connect the printer to the XP system wireless it asked me to choose which printer I wanted to connect to.  The Photosmart Plus printer was selected and visible, then I clicked Next.  Shortly after, a small screen appeared stating the "serscan.sys" file could not be found and I have to insert a Windows XP Pro CD to get the file or run the installer of this file.  This issue has occurred both when I tried to install it with the CD provided by HP and when I tried installing the HP download website.  All I have is a recovery for Windows XP disk provided with the laptop and not a CD Windows XP Pro.  What should I do to fix this?  Thanks, Lonnie

  Thanks, that was fast.  Please, let me make sure I have this correct.  First of all, I have two recovery disks provided with the computer, with Windows XP Media Edition and one for the drivers.  I should not use either of these disks, right?  If I had the previous correct answer then let me ask the following question;  When looking to borrow the disc should be Windows XP Media Edition or can I borrow any disk of Windows XP?  Kim Merci for your help continues.  Lonnie

  Lonnie,

  Before the hunting around for friends who might have a CD, do the following research.  For each of them, make sure that you have checked the search options in the 'Advanced Options' to

  • Search system folders
  • Search for files and hidden folders
  • Search subfolders

  Search your entire hard drive and both CDs you have to serscan.  Do not include the .sys at the end of the file name.

  Search for Driver.cab.  Report of the Office (s).  On your hard disk, you should find one or both

  • C:\Windows\i386\Driver.cab
  • C:\Windows\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab

  You can also find these files on the "recovery disk".

  Report what you find, including locations of found nothing.  It is possible (but I don't think likely) you will find a file named serscan.sy_ - If Yes, include this information in your results.

  Or, if you want to ignore all this, you can download serscan.sys since my SkyDrive-->

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?CID=18b259158254905b&RESID=18B259158254905B! 225 & Thierry = 18B259158254905B! 214

  The file should go to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache (a hidden directory) and probably in C:\Windows\system32 (I do not use this file, if it is not in my system32 folder).

  Or you can just save it to your desktop and "direct the Setup" it there (if you do this, check more later to confirm that he got into C:\Windows\system32\dllcache and if not, put a copy).

• Wireless printer will not print

  I downloaded a printer wireless with the disk successfully.  It is listed under programs, but it is not listed under fax machines and printers available, so do not print.  After installation it says that everything was finished and complete.  Any suggestions?

  Hi TerrifWright,

  Please answer a few questions to refine the question.

  1. What is the brand and model of the printer?

  2. what happens when you try to print? Do you get any error messages?

  3 is this problem limited to any specific application such as Internet Explorer, Microsoft Word etc.?

  This problem normally occurs when the printer is not compatible with the operating system. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

  Method 1:

  Run the troubleshooter, and proceed as described in the article.

  Solve printer problems

  Method 2: Uninstall and reinstall

  You can uninstall the printer completely go Add / Remove Programs & then try to reinstall and see if the problem still occurs.

  b. connect the wireless printer on the computer. Make sure the printer is powered before you continue.

  c. click on Start menu > settings > Control Panel > printers and faxes.

  d. click on "Add a printer" in the navigation bar on the left under"Print jobs." "Add Printer Wizard" will open.

  e. follow the wizard until you reach the page 'local or network printer"and choose"printer local... "or"a network printer. Choose the basis on the question of if the printer is connected directly on this computer or a print server or other computers on the network.

  f. type the wireless network password, if prompted. The Printer Wizard can also ask to install drivers to print before the final connection is made. If you receive this prompt, click 'Yes'.

  g. close the wizard when you get to "Finish."

• 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!

• Connect a wireless printer anywhere, wired derivation convert, does not have radio, add WPA2 security.

  Update- good because when the wireless radio failed to convert a wired Ethernet printer to wireless technology, or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.

  Updated - connect to a hotel/motel/school dormitory may not work if the network uses Enterprise authentication requesting a user name and password on your computer.

  This article will try to explain how to connect your wireless devices, including printers, to a wireless network when you are away from home.  The problem when you're in a hotel, motel, room student or other areas is your computer connects fine, but your wireless printer, you have brought with you, has connection/security problems.  Other people/wireless devices can find the printer on an open network, connect you to the printer and start printing without reason just because 'they can do. "

  You'll need is a small wireless travel router.  TP-LINK TL-WR702N Wireless N Nano router or other router of trip is all you need.  The WR702N is available on eBay or Amazon for only $21.00, that's right, only $ 21.

  This device does not support the authentication of company systems because it cannot meet any username and password prompts these system as your computer can.  However, it will connect to a standard WPA SSID and your computer, but if you receive a browser for other questions page redirect, it won't work.

  It's a small powerful travel router which built in 5 modes of operation (more than your home router can do):

  1. AP mode
  2. Client mode
  3. Repeater mode
  4. Router mode
  5. Bridge mode

  The TP-WR702N information is found here:

  http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#over

  To see the overview of applications see here first to understand:

  http://www.TP-link.com/en/products/details/?model=TL-WR702N#app

  I won't go into the details on how to configure these modes in the TP Link router Nano as the manual does a great job.  One thing you must remember is that you must assign a static IP address on your wired Ethernet connection of computers to access the Web interface internal of the Nano.  The Nano is configured with an Ethernet cable at any time.  It's security that the router that has DHCP disabled so if you connect to a network, you won't crash it with an IP address conflict.  The Nano is powered by a USB cable and comes with a USB AC adapter too.

  The IP address of the Nano is default 192.168.0.254.  Set your computers Ethernet Port, adapter not wireless, a static IP 192.168.0.1, 255.255.255.0 DNS address.  You have to find a way to do it yourself, but it is explained in the manual and on the web for the operating system of your computer.

  This leaves your wired Ethernet connection to a static IP address and your adapter wireless DHCP.  Don't forget to put your wired to DHCP if you need to use it later for a wired connection.  Connect the Ethernet cable from your computer to the router Nano.

  Set up your browser by going to 192.168.0.254 (Nano IP address) in the address bar and you'll get the username and password login screen.  The default username and password is admin/admin, you can change it if necessary.

  Set the Nano bridged mode:

  Other modes will be mentioned later but for now; Bridge mode will serve as this isolates and creates your own SSID private the hotel/motel/dorm room open wireless network SSID.  In Bridge Mode you entrance and connect to the Rangoon SSID (paraphrasing) AND set up your own small network with your own SSID and password.  Your SSID will be separated and protected through WPA2-AES security that you set up.   You will be able to go online normally fine, but all of your devices will now connect to your private SSID.

  Example:

  Hotel SSID: HILTON Hotel Paraphrase and password: GUEST

  Nano SSID: MYNETWORK Nano Paraphrase/password: HP5514

  With this information, the rest is easy.  You set your SSID private and password first, they you must find and connect to the SSID and password hotels.  Simply click on the SURVEY button and a list of all available networks will be displayed along with their MAC addresses.  Find the network SSID, you want to connect (bridge) too and click on "connect".  Information is entered automatically.  I suggest that you also edit your channel wireless on a fixed channel as the 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto '.

  Save your settings and you will be told to restart the router.  Follow the instructions and always restart the router after any changes take effect.  This Nano restarts in 20 seconds approximately.

  Now on your computer when you scan available networks, you will see MYNETWORK.  Connect your computer to the SSID and enter your HP5514 password and you're on!  Start surfing or something else.

  Now, what about your printer?  The printer must be set to DHCP and assuming that you have a printer wireless with front panel:

  1. Go to (Assistant) wireless configuration screen.
  2. Search for available networks.
  3. Select: MYNETWORK
  4. Enter your password: HP5514
  5. To connect!

  In about 15 seconds, you're connected!   Oh, guess what?  The Nano has a WAN/LAN port and in Bridge mode, it is a LAN port that is connected to your network too!  Then plug into a printer/computer Ethernet cable, if you wish.

  Your printer will work as usual with no change at all.  I set up in my house to test and it connected perfectly to my HP5514 wireless printer.  All the tools, diagnostics, printer functions, alerts of ink were normal.

  You're done!

  The bottom can be used anywhere to create a local private network so that you and others can use your printer.

  Now, what about the changes?  If at home, you can use the Nano in Repeater mode to connect to your own network and extend the reach of all devices.  Even as the Bridge mode, but you're on your network using your SSID and the word normal, so everyone can use the printer.

  Don't worry what you heard with speed of execution of a router in Repeater Mode.  Most routers House when running in wireless Repeater mode should be set to no encryption or WEP only.  Here max speed is 54 Mbps.  This Nano turns at full speed of 150 Mbps in these modes, using the highest security WPA2-AES (personal).

  Remember that the size is small, so it's good to perhaps more than 50 feet.  HD video streaming was impeccable and surf watch video at the same time was perfect.

  I hope this help you when business or vacation.  Some hotels charge for EACH device connection.  With the implementation above, it takes only a charge for multiple devices, such as cell phones, iPads, light fires, computers or anything else you want to connect.

  EDIT - do not forget that this Nano device has an Ethernet connection that once configured, you can use to connect a wired computer or wired Ethernet printer.  It is a good radio your printer wireless doesn't have to convert a wired Ethernet wireless printer or if you want your printer to support greater security WPA2 wireless.

  Have fun!
