• 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!

• 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.

• Ask serscan.sys file while setting up wireless printer

  Original title: lack file printer "sersan.sys".

  I want to marry my windows XP for the HY4500 wireless printer. The copouter is wireless, but the CD HP says a file is missing. Is it installed more than 90%, but when I was in the final stage (Plug and unplug printer then) it said 'missing file sersan.sys' and said to install my XP discs but do not have. Can someone send me this file?

  Hello

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?
  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.
  C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\I386
   
  If the previous step fails, then you will need the Windows XP installation CD to go further or contact the printer manufacturer for assistance.

• 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?

  Thanks, Dave

  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.

• 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).

• How can Iget the security/password code to set up my wireless printer. I had wireless for years, but I can't find the security code

  my laptop is part of my network with my office.  When I set up the network last year, I don't know where I put the password security code.  I need to install a wireless printer and it is looking for the security/password.  Where can I find it in my computer that should have kept this info?

  Cancel, I found the information I need.  Thank you

• Set up a wireless printer to a wireless network and to a computer with windows 7

  My question is this; I would like to set up my HP 4500 wireless printer to a wireless network and on my laptop windows 7 at the same time. Does make a difference if I put it to the computer first, or the first wireless network?

  Just follow the instructions that came with the printer.    Your computer is required to install the printer, so the work of the computer first would be a good idea.

• Cannot set up and install a wireless printer. HP Photosmart the 427 UDP Port

  I know this question has been posted several times, and before I go, I want to report that I was researching spending last week and try every possible solution I've read. So I hope that someone can offer some new or still has outstanding question.

  Equipment: HP laptop, Windows 7, HP Photosmart Plus B209 all-in-one, Netgear WNDR3700 (Dual Band), Norton 360 Antivirus/Firewall

  My laptop and printer are both about two years. I have the wireless printer set up in my previous home on a different network (more old netgear router). No issues what so ever.

  So I recently moved into a new home, bought a new router and set up a wireless network. Everything works fine without thread; two laptops, xbox, ps3, tv, cell phones, etc.). I finally had time to set up the printer. USB works fine. But it can not configure for wireless use. I get the infamous (together with HP printers) error message that my computer cannot communicate with the printer and I need to open port 427 UDP. Tried twice more, but no dice.

  Uninstalled all HP software and the printer driver and re-downloaded/installed the latest things from HP website. Tried to install the printer and Wireless Setup again, but still no dice. USB works fine.

  And there began my long trip. Here is the list of things that I did without success, and I'm sure I did right. Turn off my firewall (norton and windows). Opens UDP Port 427 (norton and windows). 427 on my router (port forwarding) open UDP port. Maunally added the printer through windows as a wireless device. Manually add a network printer.

  I still get the same error of UDP port 427. Please PLEASE help me. tI really want to fix this and refuse to believe that something as simple as it is not repairable. Printers are cheap and I don't mind buying a new one (not HP), but I have enough stubborn to give my with trivial issues such as this.

  Hello

  Thanks for the reply.

  I suggest you contact HP support for help.

• Can I set up my printer with USB port and wireless?

  Yes, you can connect your printer wirelessly to the top and the USB. If you have 1 computer connected to the USB printer, you can also download the software and drivers for computer #2 and wireless connection.

  On the printer, you will need to put it on the network (router).

  If you need assistance, please be sure to ask. You can connect several computers to the wireless printer, but could only be plugged into the USB cable.

  Hope this helps everyone.
