Setting up Deskjet 6988 for wireless printing after a reset to the factory settings, using Mac OS 10.8

Hi - How re - connect to my printer wirelessly after a reset to the factory settings? I use Mac OS 10.8. The network on the printer flashes, and on the Mac, it is listed as "not connected". And the page of report confirms that he has lost all of its data.

Fortunately, I made a report page before resetting, so I think that I know all of the critical information, I need to come back here, but I can't figure out how to do this.

I read the installation guide, who said to use an ethernet cable and the CD of HP, but I don't have the CD anymore.

I tried an ethernet cable and entering the IP address of the printer, but which did not, perhaps because it has more this IP address.

I tried the steps hereand downloaded the latest version of the HP update software software, but I don't see my printer. I went from my wifi to hpsetup network and then I could see and add a second new instance of my printer, but it did not help, because this second instance of the printer is not connected or the other.

Interestingly, when I am connected to hpsetup, I can print.

Can someone help me to re - connect this printer? I'll save the reason for reset for another post!

Thank you very much!

FIXED! Sunshyne2005, thanks a lot to direct me to the solution!

Here's what worked:

  1. Connect to hdsetup
  2. Press the report Page button on the printer (the one with the box)
  3. Continue with step 3 of the Sunshyne2005: open a browser and enter the IP address of hdsetup.
  4. Look around for the wireless configuration wizard (sorry, I can't access is no longer hdsetup, and I just don't remember where it is)
  5. Enter the SSID (name) of the wireless network and the password
  6. Note: You will see a button to finish, but it has no effect. At this point, the printer is successfully added to the wireless network and access the hdsetup disappears. Therefore, the wizard will no longer work, but the important thing is that the printer is connected. : )

Thanks again, Sunshyne2005!

  • After a restore to the factory settings, where personal files are?

    I recently had a problem on my laptop (gateway) that prevents Windows to boot the system.  I went through the automatic tests on splash screens.  Files were good, the disk check was good, went to a restore point, but still was not able to start.  I got a message that there was no specified "configuration change".  So I chose the option to restore factory settings.  I didn't need a disk to do - it took place without no boot disk required.  There was a message related to the restoration who said that my files could be stored on the hard drive partitioned part.  I couldn't get to my personal files anyway, so I decided to take the chance to do the restore and hope that Windows would save my stuff.  Well, Windows is running, but I can't find my files.  The page of my computer shows 2 hard drives, 'Local' and 'Recovery', but I don't know how to access recovery or if my files are still there.

    Is there a chance that my stuff is still in this machine, or I'm just the GROUND?

    Thanks in advance for any kind souls who can solve the riddle!

    Hello

    "Recovery" partition will be the software that was used to perform the recovery to factory settings.

    We should never touch except to make recovery disks, failure of hard disk for you to reinstall Vista on a new hard drive.

    Windows does not save your data when you perform a restore to the factory settings.

    Your recovery software factory settings is provided by the gateway.

    It is an Option in their software.

    It is the gateway to this topic information.

    "Restoration with automatic data backup.

    http://support.gateway.com/s/software/MICROSOF/Vista/7515418/7515418su532.shtml

    All files and existing files are copied to the C:\Backup folder on the hard drive and a new copy of Windows is installed.

    You will need to contact Gateway Support and ask them where to find your data saved their recovery process if the information above did not save where gateway said it would.

  • HP Deskjet 6988 Admin password will not be reset

    I have a deskjet 6988 I want to set up for wireless printing.  I am able to connect to the printer via ethernet and wireless Ad - Hoc and can open the EWS browser.  When I select the network tab, a dialog box opens and asks you a username and password.  I know from the manual of the user name is "Admin", however, I never set up a password and the password is not empty.  (I think I bought a returned unit and another user defined a password)

    The problem is that the routine use of the manual password reset - "hold the key to report and press the Cancel button 3 times"-does not reset the password.

    Does anyone know another method to clear the password or a backdoor password?

    The following is posted in "deskjet 6980 reset password":

    ================================================

    Press and hold the POWER button.
    Press 'X' (printing to cancel) the number of times specified (1)
    Press SUMMARY/FF the number of times specified. (2)
    Output POWER
    1 2--> ROM Dump, p/c, alignment-dates

    ================================================

    If you follow that and find the rom dump 0408 on printer deskjet 6988 address, you can see the password and username is just above or nearby.  I don't know if this address would be exactly the same for each dump of rom, but the username and password should be listed in this rom dump.

  • wireless printing works is not on the network home-CANON PIXMA MP495

    my laptop crashed and when I tried to use my Canon PIXMA MP495 printer with Wi - Fi it usually print the message indicates the printer is offline.

    Darryl Hello,

    Many printers wireless requires that they be configured initially using a USB connection. Have you tried to install the printer it first?

    To select the correct driver, I need to know what version and the depth of Bit of Windows you are running.  Tip: go to control panel, select system, and the info is in the first window of information. Or you can do it yourself at this link: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_series/pixma_mp495?selectedName=DriversAndSoftware .

    I would like to know if this solves the problem for you, or after return here with the Bit depth and I will help you further.

    Kind regards

  • HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel

    My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel.  How to fix it.  I have a laptop Toshiba and Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Help, please.    rwillm

    Hey,.

    Thanks for the update, rwillm.  It seems that the installation of the printer can be a little messed up.  If the printer software is always installed, but simply lacks the printer, then I would advise to do a little cleaning before choosing to add the printer back.

    • Make sure that the printer is deleted from the file devices and printers
    • Click on one of the remaining printers folder
    • Select the properties of the print server at the top of the window
    • Click the tab drivers
    • Remove all drivers in this window for the Officejet 4500

    Also check in the Device Manager to verify that there is no mention of remaining of the 4500.

    • Click on the start menu
    • Right click on computer
    • Select manage in the list
    • Click Device Manager in the list of questions on the left side of the window that opens
    • Click the view at the top of the menu, and then select Show hidden devices
    • Remove all references to the 4500 in the list of devices

    After making sure of the device is gone, I recommend bike devices in the power circuit: router, computer and printer.

    * Make sure the printer has a valid IP address after switching back on and is connected to the same network as your PC before adding the printer.

    If the IP address and SSID are good for the printer, then try to add the printer with the printer software, you have installed.

    • Click on the Start Menu
    • Click on all programs
    • Open the HP folder
    • Open the folder for the series of the Officejet 4500 G510
    • Select Add a device option

    Let me know how it goes,

    Jason

  • How to set the Satellite A110-225 on the factory settings?

    Dear Mr./Mrs,

    I would like to reset my 5 + years Satellite A110-225 to the original factory setting. I don't have a dvd or anything. How to go?

    Regards, Rob

    Only way to have the factory settings is to install the recovery image original Toshiba designed for your laptop model.
    He is old enough for laptop and I don t think you can order more.

    Anyway, visit https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx and check if your model is listed.

  • I have an Aspire 571 V3 that I thought that I was restoring the factory settings and save my files for

    Hi everyone, I hope that there is someone out there who can help me. I have an Aspire 571 V3 that I picked up at the factory settings, or so I thought. After all the files had been cleared and the system recovered it restarted and displayed a black screen with 'the installation program starts services' and a flashing light below are progressing. It has been that way for hours eight (8). is this normal or should I worry? In its current form, I have no control on the machine on the touch pad or mouse. I have provided with Currys computer recovery discs, but they are not to be recognized.

    Kalimera

    8 hours is a little too, you can try to stop it and repair the resumption of the process.

    do a long press on the power button to stop it

    at the next startup, press Alt + F10, and then check if you are able to start the Acer recovery process

    If it isn't

    Enter the BIOS by pressing F2 at startup

    enable F12 boot menu if not already enabled

    Save and exit

    put your first recovery disk on your laptop

    stop your laptop making the long press the power button / stop

    at the next startup, press F12, and then on the startup list select DVD/CD player
