Totally stuck connecting the new hp deskjet2542 wireless.

Have new deskjet2542 and am not familiar with most of the terms on the support Web site so am totally unable to follow what to do! When I try to install the software Web hp.com/print/dj2540 site and day 3 online says try again later cos of error. My printer does not seem to recognize my wifi. I tried turned everything off and then on again. Router, printer, then iPad - no joy. Tried to take off to strip large shield - no joy. Cannot understand the help as site seems to suggest to do things with router I do not understand. I have an iPad 2 and sky broadband. I live in England. My wireless camera connect without problems to my iPad. Help!

OK, good this will be easy.

  1. Press and hold the button wireless to the printer for more than 3 seconds to start push-button WPS

    mode. The wireless status light starts flashing.

  2. Press the WPS button on your router to 2 minutes after pressing the button on the printer.  The WPS button is the one in the middle on the front of the router.

Give them a few minutes to communicate with each other, then the printer must be connected.

  • Photosmart Wireless B109n: Connection printer new source of wireless B109n

    I recently changed provider router and wifi, but it is impossible to get my printer connect the new wi - fi router and allow wireless printing.  So far I have tried the following:

    -All off switching several times and they are restarted in the sequence specified by HP (router, printer, computer)

    -uninstalled and reinstalled the correct HP software via download on the HP site

    -a spent more than an hour with a guy from support from Apple, but we couldn't do the recosnise of the computer the printer

    -went bought a CD player, home, uninstalled the HP software and reinstalled from the disk provided with the printer

    -assemble the complete set

    -been able to print using a cable

    However, I am still unable to connect to the printer and print using wifi.  When I run the wireless network test he told me that the name of the network went from the old router to "hpsetup".

    I can't work out where to enter new information - network name, password etc. - in the installation program or on the printer.  I tried several times to enable the router to allow a device to join the network while pressing the push button on the WEP option.  When I try to use the option to PIN the printer immediately show the pin code of the old wifi network and is still unable to join the new network.

    HP - I started this at 09:00 and it is now 17:00 - things should never be this hard...

    Hello

    Generally no full software functionality is available for your printer for later versions of OS, which means no solution to connect the pritner is offered.

    You can use another computer for example, Windows PC or n older version of OS X to connect to the printer.

    If your router supports WPS method, connect the printer using WPS listed on page 5 of the manual below:
    http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c01894737

    OtherwiseI can offer the following workaround solution to overcome such a manually:

    1. Make sure that the printer's wireless radio is turned on.
    2. Click the WiFi on your Mac and join the HPSETUP network.
    3. If such a not listed, click on join another network, and then click networks sow and connect to HPSetup.
    4. Open Safari.
    5. Click Safari > Preferences and open the Advanced tab, check both the Hello checkbox on this screen, and then click OK.
    6. In the bookmarks menu, select Hello > printers and click the name of your printer.
    7. Open the network tab or wireless in the wireless Section looking for wireless or Wireless Assistant and follow this screen to connect the printer to your router.
    8. Once done, plug the Mac to your home network and add the printer as in Printers & Scanners.

    Hope that helps,

  • Anyone with the problem of not show apple tv on the same wifi to connect the new application remote control (with the last operating system both on device)?

    Tried to connect the new (launched in July 2016) Apple Remote app, I'm not able to add the Apple Tv from my iphone (5 c), because it does not show apple tv to connect even on the same wifi. I use the latest os on iphone and TVos 9.3.3.

    9.3.3 isn't the latest version of the software for your phone or your Apple TV.

    Try the following steps for the Apple TV 4, check if things work after each step if necessary, before you try the next.

    1. Restart the Apple TV (settings > system > restart).
    2. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL cables for 30 seconds.
    3. Restart your router. (Also try to remove the power cord for at least 30 seconds)
  • How can I connect the new installation of Windows 7 for the user profiles on a separate drive har?

    Original title: connect Windows 7 to the output of user profiles?

    I want to reinstall Windows

    My user profiles are on a separate HARD disk
    Is it possible to connect the new install of Win 7 to these existing profiles
    Or I'll create all new profiles and just move all the files manually?

    You can change the registry so that it points to your old profile folder. However, I suspect that this would cause problems because the SID and many registry keys would be incorrect for the current installation. I would like to move the folders manually.

  • connecting the new host of vmfs - what could go wrong?

    I just set up a new server ESXi 4.1, and I want to assign a logical unit number that contains a VMFS (v3.33) data store used by 4 ESXi 4.0 hosts.  I did this procedure several times before (no thanks to the combination of versions of the host, though), but I still get nervous.

    Is there a chance that something bad could happen to my data store when I connect the new host to it, or it's just my OCD Act?

    If you follow the above instructions to Dave, you have nothing to fear - if you take the right approach by being very careful with storage issues.

    Changes in versions should make no difference at all, as long as lon as all the ESX host attached to storage support the version of the data that store connect you.

    Good luck - and don't stress!

  • My PC (Windows 7), will automatically connect to the new networks unknown wireless is in the range. I want to stop it.

    I found a variety of positions that describe how to disable the "connect automatically" option for a specific network you connected to in the past (via 'manage wireless networks), for example:

    They do not resolve my problem because my computer connects automatically on * new, unknown * networks that I've never connected to the front (and also, even after it connects to these networks, they do not appear in the list under 'Manage wireless networks').
    Apparently, it set to the default behavior to automatically connect to the new network he meets, and I need that to turn off. Thank you.
     

    Hi Michael,

    I suggest you to perform the steps mentioned by "Steve Winograd replied on November 6, 2009"of a similar discussion.

    If the problem persists, I suggest to uninstall and reinstall the wireless card to reset all wireless connections.

    Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

  • Can not get the new pair Apple wireless keyboard

    I followed the 'how' document, but it does not work - I guess that these statements applied to the previous generation apple wireless keyboard, but not the new series aluminum.

    When I "add new connection" (Express or Custom mode) a dialog box opens asking me to enter a PIN code on the keypad and press ENTER. I enter the serial number given, but I get an error message that authentication "was wrong." I've heard that I need to enter a PIN of 0000 for the keyboard to work, but the Toshiba Bluetooth stack doesn't seem to let me pick my own PIN - he always chooses for me.

    I uninstalled the Toshiba stack and tried XP SP2 stack - it works with the new apple keyboard runs it a PIN of 0000. Unfortunately, the battery of XP SP2 is not other profiles that I need so I can't really use it.

    Has anyone figured this out?

    If you have entered the PIN code according to in the keyboard Bluetooth (not the PC keyboard!) and 'Link level security' has been activated - is that correct?
    What model of Apple keyboard do you use?

  • WRT54GL does not connect the new cable Modem

    Hello, I hope someone can help me. I just changed internet providers and my router does not work with the new modem they proived. I had been with ATT and has configured the modem/router ATT to act as a pass through my WRT54GL. Now, when I connect my new modem (which is also a wireless router) to the WRT54GL, I get no connection on the Linksys. However, if I plug in my modem att, resume service (I've not turned my old Internet again until I get this resolved). I tell myself that some setting prevents the WRT54GL to connect but not sure how to determine who it is: I'm not very well informed in this area and only followed a guide online when I configured the router to worek with ATT modem. I'm hoping to avoid resetting the WRT54GL to the deault factory because my old model Roku connects and I cannot change the network, it connects to due to losing the physical remote control. If anyone has any suggestions or can help me trouble shoot, I would really appreciate it!

    HI idkidd,

    You can disable the Wi - Fi modem to avoid any conflict on your Linksys router. And for the WRT54GL work with the new modem, you must reconfigure. The router might still be trying to remember the previous modem settings.

    Try these steps:

    * Connect the computer directly to the modem and check the IP address (Windows) (MAC OSX )

    Note the IP address

    * Now, unplug the modem from the computer

    * Connect the computer to the Ethernet/LAN router (leave the disconnected modem) ports

    * Determine the IP address of the computer, get the router. Then, compare it to the IP address, you have the modem

    * If you get the modem 192.168.1.x and is also the router 192.168.1.x, which means that there is a conflict of IP address

    You can use this link on how to set up the router again with the new set up a router with DSL Internet service Linksys modem

    I hope that these AIDS!

  • Is it possible to connect the HP Photosmart C4780 Wireless printer without USB cable?

    Hello

    My family and I recently moved and while moving, something inevitably get lost or left for account.  I am fighting to get this printer and will so I don't have to bother people at the front desk at school to print my documents for me.  I have lost/misplaced both the HP Photosmart C4780 printer software disk and the USB cable.  I have no idea where these things are and have not found them within two months, we've been in the new House.

    I solved the issue of the loss of the installation disk by downloading it from the HP site.  My problem is now getting beyond the USB connection and get the currently installed software.  Because I run on a MacBook Pro, it always tells me that I need the USB key to continue the installation.  I'm on a Verizon Wireless router, and I even tried to find the printer on my wireless network with no luck.

    Help, please!

    Thank you.

    It's the type of cable you will need (ignore the color of the cable, the ends are the important part).

    Have a new router is not a problem, but remember the SSID and password wireless exactly, otherwise it will not work (if you decide to try Method 1). It's a bit like "trick" your printer into thinking that your new router is your old a long enough to configure the network settings for the new (desired).

  • How to connect the new laptop to the router?

    Hello. Have the new netbook from toshiba. How can I connect my router to the main computer. I just connect a LAN cable, or is it more complicated than that? M

    Hello!

    Normally it of enough if you connect the cable to the router. The rest depends on your network configuration you have. If you have a DHCP and DNS server you automatically get an address otherwise, you must choose an address.

  • BlackBerry Passport stuck in the new edition of BB money configuration Passport

    Hello

    Just got my new edition of the Silver Passport, but it does not accept my login for Blackberry ID already at the beginning of the configuration I'm stuck. Very frustrating, I try (for a view hours now), he says "use the blackberry ID, the phone has been configured with" mean, it is a new phone... and I use my own work always good BB ID. what

    I checked my BB ID on the internet and sometimes it works and sometimes I see:

    The service is temporarily unavailable.

    We apologize for any inconvenience. Please try again later.

    www.BlackBerry.com

    www.BBM.com

    Then sometimes it works on my PC, but it does not work on the new passport of BB, what's the problem?

    Hello

    Given what you describe, two things are at stake. (1) your device is running the latest 10.3.2. Direction of the BONE. (2) your device has been previously implemented by someone with a BBID, and they do not properly activate the anti-theft function before they wiped for delivery to you.

    There is no way around that. The anti-theft function requires the same credentials BBID as already associated with the device, unless that is disabled before ERASING (or OS reload, etc) is launched. Once initiated, only these credentials prior BBID will be accepted.

    Your recourse will be with the seller for you to the device. They provide you with the credentials that you need, or they take the unit back for refund/exchange/repair.

    Good luck!
