HP envy 4500: hp envy 4500 printer cable
I just bought this printer. I was originally a printer needs to be connected, but there, everything seems to be wireless. I have wireless in my office. I understand that I can connect it to my laptop with a cord. I'm looking for what type of cord. The port on the back of the printer next to the power Jack is a small place like shape. Is the other end, a USB connection? What is called the cord so I know what to order.
Yes, this is what looks like the cord - get one at any store that sells computers - like staples or Best Buy - it is a printer cable

Use both WiFi &; printer cable or Cat5 to router?
WiFi and cable can be used on the same printer. If cable, use the printer cable or Cat5 cable to router? I'm not sure where is slow to get the print to the printer output.
Hi roreilly,
Honestly, it depends on the printer. It is possible to install the driver via a USB cable and one of 2 choices in a network, wireless or ethernet, its not recommended, you can get to work, you'll just have to choose which insatled printer you want to print on, but you're certainly not able to have printer communicate via cat5 and wireless as soons as printer detects a network cable It should disable the wireless feature because they are one in the same.

My printer has stopped between different documents with the printing error U052. He has said, "the type of print head is incorrect. Install the correct print head. "I couldn't find help on the support page. A YouTube video showed me how to get out of the print head and clean it manually. I did this and reinstalled my ink cartridges. I still have the error. I can't align my printhead. Buy a new print head or I have to buy a new printer? I love this printer! He is a year old.

We had to change the type of encryption on our WPA2 WiFi router (LAN setup origin, on which to install and successfully used our M252dw printer) and use simple WPA, to solve some other problems of connectivity.
NOW, the HP printer, we have (M252dw) apparently does not automatically reset the encryption type.
Apparently, he has no way to automatically start "from scratch" when connecting to the new configuration of router.
Even with ALL the rest on the LAN works fine and speaking well, including WiFi laptops and smart phones, the HP printer sees the new name of WiFi SSD connects to the router in order to attempt a connection, accepts the new password WPA, but RETAINS THE WPA - PSK PARAMETER OF CONFIGURATION PREVIOUS.
We know, because after that the printer fails to connect, print the network SHOWS Test report this known problem in the paragraph of the resolution of the problems, but worthless advice said to "run the setup of wireless network for re - enter your network WPA wireless security password. The WPA authentication on your HP printer has been changed from the default setting. This can cause problems connecting to your wireless network, if your wireless router does not use the same breed of WPA authentication.
Well, DUH.
Mind you, there is NOTHING in the post above that says:
1) go to "this" menu item.2) click "this" option to change the encryption method.
(3) select the method (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2) that corresponds to your router.
... because... There seems to be NO option ANYWHERE in ANY menu that offers this choice.
HE DIDN'T THERE HAS NO BUTTON, OPTION, SELECTION, OR ADVICE IN THE MANUAL TO RESET OR CHOOSE WPA!
There is a checklist wonderfully unnecessary, repeated throughout your manuals and on the site, basically saying
' Check the type of printer encryption (WEP, WPA, WPA2, etc.) corresponds to the router.
Well well... What do you do when you KNOW that it IS NOT?
Thanks to try at least, I appreciate it.
Unfortunately, it did not work;
but it leads to find the answer for later use.
Summary -
After selecting
Printer flow treatment and deleted the saved connection data, an IPv4, subnet mask and default gateway address (router address IPv4) and IPv6 turned power on.Then... I did this:
(1) Went back to
and IPv6 turned to back, leaving only ON IPv4. 2) went back to
and returned once again the preferred settings.
Address: 192.168.254.250Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.254.254
3) reinforced by the "Wizard" where he immediately found the SSID of the wireless router.
(4) select the SSID of the router
(5) when it is asked for the password (which is actually just a 'word' with WPA pass) I got that.
(6) given the printer attempts to connect and failed.
WPA - PSK same listed, even noted on the test report from network once more.
Therefore, no chance after Restore Defaults.
It really would have been nice if HP had made sure this option actually actually reset * ALL * default settings, including the wiping WPA2 security type.
(Just for reference, the DHCP range is set to 192.168.254.15 - 192.168.254.47, so that the fixed IP addresses assigned, like this printer, you can assign DHCP to be defined to ensure no changes outside.
This printer is the FIRST device assigned a fixed IP address, to make sure that nothing else can come into conflict with the IP address and eliminate it as a cause as possible.)
OK - so after your suggestion, I am inspired to re - enter the menu and look at it again.
I had already looked through what I have and not able to find the submenu I thought that has been included by HP...
.. .or I would expect a user was manually choose method/type of security encryption (SSID, WEP, WPA, WPA2)
.. .or at least handed to "REMOVE/RESET/nothing: Please ask the next router you are trying to connect to use"
One thing I found there is the option that resembled what I wanted now:
That seemed to be the best thing after trying to 'Network Defaults' so I did.
Then did a not through all the steps above, 1-6...
* SUCCESS *.
ALSO: The printer is already running on each PC had to be "retired" in Windows

I have a printer HP Laserjet 5 p, old but works very well. It is wired to a cable to plug into the computer. However, I now have a new computer, with no parallel port and will need to talk to the printer via a USB port. Is there an adapter available that will allow me to connect the cable wired to my printer on the USB port? My printer cable's 25-pin male, so I need a 25-pin female plug connected to a USB port. I believe that a cable (6 ft) M501-1164 is available, but that would mean I'll have 12 feet of cable between my printer and the computer. will be led to the loss of data? Will need me new drivers if the computer communicate with the printer via USB and not via the parallel port?
Thanks for any help.

Type of USB cable for Laserjet CP1025 Color
I just bought a printer Laserjet CP1025 colour of HP uk online store and I took it from the box.
NOWHERE, I find a USB connection cable.
How can I plug it into my laptop to make it work without the connection cable?
What is the cable that is supposed to be?
Can someone give me the exact type or a link to order the HP, or on amazon uk store?
Thanks in advance!
Hello
To reduce costs, many printers have no USB cables inside their boxes. I think the USB cables are in boxes of printers for the only region in AP. You need a cable that is similar to:
The rounded end is for your printer and the flat end is for your computer.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1721 that uses Windows Vista Home Premium/SP 2. I would like to know if my HP Deskjet 870 cxi is compatible with my laptop and if it is, I also need to know what type of cable to use. The printer has a parallel Centronics IEEE 1284 port, for which I have the cable. my laptop has USB ports and a few other ports which I do not know the name of the identity. If the printer is compatible, it is best to buy a cable that connects directly to the laptop to the printer or is it better to get a cable that will go from my printer to my laptop cable.
I hope that my question and explanations are clear enough to understand.
Thanks to anyone who can provide assistance.
Hello! Welcome to the @danwas forums.
I read your post about wanting to use your Deskjet 870cxi with Windows Vista. I found some information for you in the link below. It will also show you what cables to use and diagrams.
I hope that helps!
The driver for your product is included in the Windows Vista operating system

Pavilion Slimline expansion for 7520 printer cable
The cable connecting the 7520 printer and the HP Pavilion computer may be about ten feet and must he USB and USB 2 or 3 connectors or shorter cables can be connected with a male/female adapter?
10 to 15 feet is about the maximum distance should be a USB cable. USB 2 is fine for most printers. I advise to use only one cable... If you can, avoid the "extensions".
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
