• HP OfficeJet 4650: How can I use direct wireless alongside my regular wifi?

  I am trying to connect my printer to my laptop direct wireless, without having to change the networks every time I print. I want my laptop to be able to stay on my network domestic and the printer is not on the network. I got direct wireless to work, it just won't be online when I change networks. Is there a way to set up the connection if Panel or something for this? How do I go about setting this up? If this is not possible in any way, please let me know why so... Thank you!

  Hello

  Normally when installing the software and drivers, you can see 2 logical printers on your home network and it is direct connect (given your printer supports direct connect). You can select one of the default ones. What everway, your computer and your printer must be on the same network, otherwise you cannot print unless you use ePrint app.

  Please follow the instructions below for installing wireless:

• Set up a wireless printer, but do not think that it is password protected

  Hello

  I recently bought the wireless HP Deskjet 3520 printer.

  I set up the fine and was able to get my laptop wireless without having to use the USB cord.  I can print wireless from laptop, iPhone, etc.

  I have a secure WiFi network.  During the wireless set up, he never asked me to assign a password to the printer, but when I search networks I see my secure network (which is protected) and the printer that doesn't look like not to protect (it says network in parenthesis).

  My questions:

  (1) can anyone with a wireless signal, see my printer and send items to him, or is it only the people who have used the password to get on my wireless network?

  (2) if the printer is open to the public, how can I go about securing it with a password?  I'd rather have a smartphone or tablet should put a password in that to have some edge com be able to print to my printer.

  Any help is appreciated, thanks!

  Yes, it is possible that someone in the range of your printer to connect to the printer and send a job if you don't fix your printer or your router with a password. It depends on your neighborhood, I guess.

  In your printing wireless configuration, direct wireless is disabled because you need not currently, and impression of your network is secure from intruders outside with the password of your router.

  When you enable direct wireless with security, you will be guaranteed of intruders outside with the password of your printer. If you have enabled direct wireless without security, the printer will be open for prints unsolicited since there is no password.

  It is said that there is something not working only not with the driver

  You probably need to install some network drivers for your wireless card.

  Download drivers

  Visit the manufacturer's Web site and select your computer model (this is usually done in the Support section). You should be able to download drivers for your model. Download the driver (s) and follow the instructions to install - every computer is different, so I can't give you exact directions. You can also try to use Windows Update to get drivers - it is located in the start menu.

  3. What is the brand and model of your router (or what box which is connected to the desktop computer)? Westell VersaLink 327W gateway

  4. how and what is connected to the printer? USB cable to the desktop

  Ok.  You can 'share' the Canon printer, which means that you will be able to print to it from your laptop when your laptop is connected wireless to your router.

  This is called 'file and printer sharing' and here are some basic tips on setting up, courtesy of the MVP Malke (you have already completed part A, then start with the part B). Read the part in the first paragraph I put in bold.  If you do not understand the last paragraph on sharing the printer, read one or more of the articles from Google search.

  You can also watch all or part of the first 5 links in this Google search: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xp+sharing+printer

  If you want to share your cannon sweep feature, you will have to read the manual to see if it is possible and (b) how to put in place.  He usually just is to use the Canon CD to install the printer and its software required on your laptop the installer knows that the Canon is a shared network resource.

  The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. In this way you
  get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of some
  more security between you and the Internet. Next, you set up your wireless network
  network in any security, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Below you will find
  information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. Looks like
  long but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and local area network
  sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

  Configuration of the router.

  Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with
  the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista may be the
  CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set
  the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet, cable for the
  connection you just put the router to DHCP (or there may even be a)
  cable choice to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you generally
  Select PPoe and enter the username and password you chose during
  initially setting up the DSL connection. So:

  1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
  2 set a course of ethernet cat5e cable (usually supplied with the router)
  the port of the router to port Internet/WAN modem ethernet cable.
  3. connect the CAT5e cable from your computer's network card ethernet cable
  one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable
  (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
  4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

  To configure the router:

  Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples
  given are for a Linksys router. Check the manual for your router or router
  site Web de MFTR. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a
  browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

  http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (this is by default the router address IP, who)
  varies from router to router then check your manual)

  This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is left
  Blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Come in
  This information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your
  utility of configuration may be slightly different from mine.

  Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new
  password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Enter it again
  password to confirm and click Save settings at the bottom of
  the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again.
  Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to return in the
  configuration utility.

  Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the wireless
  Network name (SSID) default to something you will recognize. I have
  suggest that my clients do not use their surname as the SSID. For example,.
  You may want your "CastleAnthrax" wireless network name or the
  as. ;-)

  Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes have been
  successfully, click the wireless security link which is just next to the
  Wireless settings link base (where you changed your SSID). If you have a
  Newish computer, you will be able to affect the Security Mode
  WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you
  come on all the computers that are allowed to connect to the radio
  network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

  At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you are using
  to configure the router normally goes for a wireless connection, unplug
  the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new
  network. Enter the password you created to join the network and launch
  Surf.

  B. file/printer sharing of

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on file/printer
  Sharing in Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files
  and folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  For XP, start by running the network on all machines (see Setup Wizard
  caveat in section A below).

  Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
  (1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
  Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
  Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
  accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
  to create actions where the operating system is not.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow the local area network (LAN)
  traffic as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file / print
  Sharing on the Exceptions tab normally run the Network Setup Wizard on
  XP will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt" is that this
  lights on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a
  third-party firewall or have an Internet Worm antivirus «»
  Protection' (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, then you are
  fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN
  with a range of IP addresses. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Of course, you
  substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DO
  NOT DISABLE THE FIREWALL; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

  (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
  is from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

  C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not have
  must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
  assigned to each user account may be different. accounts/passwords just
  need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE
  PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to start directly
  on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
  to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

  Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
  http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

  D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off
  Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

  E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not home users sharing
  directories or files of program, but you can share folders inside those
  directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.
  See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

  F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a)
  files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
  locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
  for the mftr printer Web site. and download the latest drivers for the
  correct system. Install them on the target machines. The
  printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this is not
  install the drivers, then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases,.
  Some printers need to be installed as local printers, but it's outdoors

• Cannot print from Android phone to 2540 Deskjet using Direct wireless

  I try to print a document on my Android for my Deskjet 2540 phone using wireless live (so without a router involved).  I downloaded the HP ePrint app for my phone and have pressed the button wireless directly on the printer (the led next to it is on).  I enabled Wi - Fi radio on my phone and have made a link to my printer.

  But when I try to print the document (a pdf.doc) I get the following on my phone error message: no internet connection.  Please check your network settings, and then try again.

  Can you please help?  Thank you.

  Hi Kyle72,

  Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I believe that when your Android mobile device is connected to the direct wireless network of your 2540 Deskjet that you can access the document, and you get a connection error message.

  When you are connected to the direct the printer wireless network can not access the internet.  If the document you are trying to print does not live on your mobile device, you must copy the file to your phone to be able to print it.  I have included the link to HP Wireless PrintingCenter - HP wireless Direct.  He has a good summary on HP wireless Direct with instructions on how to connect to it and how to use it.

  Hello

  I found the same info as Tobi. Your device has no WLAN and you must use the PCMCIA WLAN card. I'm sure that with PCMCIA card you will receive the CD with driver and probably some WLAN client for WLAN configuration. You can also use the WLAN Windows settings.

  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.
