• HP series D110: update Apple OS Sierra this morning. Now unable to connect to the printer HP series D110 to scan.

  Apple OS update Sierra 10.12 and now unable to connect to the printer to scan. Version of the driver for HP printer is HP inkjet 1 pilot 3.3.2 can someone help me?

  @Lancer3

  Welcome to the HP Forums, it's a great place to get help, find answers and advice,
  Thanks for posting your request, I'll be more than happy to help you

  If I understand correctly the printer to scan does not work after the recent update of the Sierra,

  Don't worry, even if the following document does not mention Sierra, the Apple article will guide you through the steps to scan through

  • Image capture
  • Overview
  • Printers and Fax preferences in system preferences
  • Scanner / printer queue

  The basics of the Mac: using a scanner

  I also suggest to use the Apple Scan while you wait for the HP software update. You can use the link below to confirm that your printer is still compatible with your operating system: software of the printer and scanner for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks.

  For links related, please here.

• Unable to connect to my printer - operation failed with error 0x00000002

  My printer was working with my laptop via a wireless network. Now I can't print or connect to my printer. I'm always connected to the network, but I can't connect to the printer. When I try to add it, I can see the name of the printer and I select it, but I get the error "Windows cannot connect to the printer" [operation failed with error 0x00000002]. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7, several months ago, but I don't know if that makes a difference (I think I used printer at least once since I change). Help, please.

  Ive had the same problem.  Win7 - 64 bit tries to connect to a printer on another pc win7 64-bit.

  "Unable to connect to the printer.
  "error code 0x00000002".

  what worked for me:
  Right click on computer, select Manage
  Click on "services and applications", then click on 'services '.
  Scroll down to "print spooler", right click and select "Properties".
  Click 'STOP' service, and then click on 'START' service.

  Start the "Add printer" Wizard and it worked, yay!

• Unable to connect to the printer via IP address

  I changed my ISP (internet service provider) and therefore changed routers - now unable to connect to the printer.
  I put a static IP address on my HP Photosmart B110a printer before we changed to ISP because there are connection problems. When we were setup to the ISP again, we are unable to connect to the printer, such as the printers IP 192.168.1.12
  The new network ISP IP range is 192.168.0.xx and printers address IP is out of the network.
  I can print via the USB cable but I can't return to my printers GUI by entering 192.168.1.12 return the printer back from the static IP address.
  A hard reset for this printer would be appreciated.
  Thank you very much.

  Hello
  I solved the problem. The answer was staring face heres so my solution for someone who has had similar problems.
  I didn't dig up the old router that affects the 192.168.1.xx IP network and then connected my PC, connected my printer then connected printers user interface through the static IP address, I assigned earlier. Changed to automatic IP. Connected my new router (which assigns the IP addresses of 192.168.0.xx) to my PC and printer. Everything is now OK.
  Thank you.

• HP Deskjet 3510: HP Deskjet 3510 - unable to connect to the printer

  I had this printer for some time but have never been able to properly print to this printer using this specific computer.   FYI, I'm trying to print wireless at it. This office has wireless compatibility.  I have the drivers and all (I think, I HP everything at the time but not the disk that came with it I lost only).  Don't know why it fails, he said only: "unable to connect to the printer.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hi aunt Shirley.

  First of all, we're going to connect the printer to the network:

  -Restore default values of network within the menu on the front panel of the printer wireless.
  -From your computer, connect wirelessly to the network printer (it should be a name similar to HP - Setup - xx - Deskjet 3510).
  -After successfully connecting to the printer, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Chrome and type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and press ENTER.
  -Click on the Wireless Setup Wizard
  -Select your router and enter the password to connect to the printer to the router.

  Run again the printer software to your computer to rediscover the printer on the network.

• Unable to connect to the printer wireless HP D110

  Bought a new printer D110 last week.  Turned on, it has detected my wireless router Actiontec (Verizon FIOS) with signal max, and I logged it, using my WPA key.  It appears that he successfully connected and returned a hard copy report indicating that he has passed all the tests, at the address IP 192.168.1.4, which is within my reach.

  However, when I told the installer to use wireless rather than in USB mode and entered the IP address assigned to the printer, she returned with a message that it cannot connect to the printer.

  I disabled all firewall and antivirus software and repeat this step again and again, same result.  It's on a laptop Toshiba Satellite brand new under Windows 7 Home Premium.  The laptop has had zero problems wireless in and of itself.

  I repeated the installation on a 8 years old Sony Vaio laptop running Windows XP Home Edition with all the latest service packs and updates.  Same result, failure.

  I checked the software admin to the router, checked that it has detected the printer and assigned to this address.  However, neither the router nor either laptop can ping the printer successfully.  Laptops can ping each other, and the router pings successfully.

  I went to USB mode and connected the printer to the new laptop.  Works very well.

  I'm guessing there's a permissions/firewall problem going on here.  I don't use MAC filtering.  I opened the port 427 incoming UDP activity.  No change.  Any help appreciated.  Thank you.

  You can try to run WIndows Update again and again to make sure that your system is the last and largest.

  Also, download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page.

• OfficeJet 4630: Unable to connect to the printer

  I have been using an Acer laptop with a HP printer via a wireless router.  I had to replace the printer with a 4630, which is wireless, still has a USB port in the back.  I connected the cable from my tower to this port, then made the setup wireless according to instructions.  The printer works with the office, but not the laptop via the router.  I get no error message, nothing happens when I try to print.  Although it is a simple operation, I'm in over my head, being almost totally ignorant of Windows.  (With the help of Windows 7).  I guess the problem lies in how I have the laptop implemented, even if the old printer works perfectly with the desktop and the laptop.   The printer reported that it was connected after that I did the installation, and I have the blue light.  I know that the laptop can still access the router, as I have no problem connecting to the Internet.  Suggestions as to how I should have the laptop configured?

  Also, I got this message after you posted my message, but do not see what has been changed: "your message has been modified because the incorrect HTML code was found in the body of the message. Invalid HTML code has been removed. Please review the message and send the message when you are satisfied. »

  I solved my problem.  As I suspected, the problem is with the configuration of the laptop.  I deleted the network information and it built everything back, and now I can print to the desktop via a USB cable and the laptop through the wireless router.  Thanks for your efforts.

• RESOLVED - unable to enable IPv6 in Windows 7, so unable to connect to the homegroup - ZoneAlarm was the problem

  My problem is that I can't turn on IPv6 in Windows 7.

  My goal was to set up a homegroup three computers so that I can share a printer that is connected to one of them. They are all running different versions of Windows 7.  A desktop computer has created a homegroup, and a second desktop computer connected successfully to the homegroup and can print using the first computer printer.

  The third computer is a portable computer. When you go to the homegroup settings page, it says that the homegroup is available. But this computer is unable to join when you click on the "join" button. The convenience store said IPv6 must be enabled.

  Option is checked in the IPv6 network card settings. (The install button is also active and uninstall is dimmed. I don't understand why this should be as I have read that you cannot uninstall IPv6, if it makes sense for the uninstallation to be grey, why install would be an option? Confusion between.)

  Here is what seems to be the root of the problem. In the registry settings, in the section IPv6 DisabledComponents is set to 255 (disabled). I change it to 0 (all features enabled), but I can't always connect to the homegroup. I restart the computer and the value 0 is changed back to 255.

  I can't activate IPv6, it isn't surprising that the computer cannot join the homegroup as I read that this function requires IPv6.

  Can any expert from Microsoft give me some advice on how to operate the homegroup?

  Thank you very much.

  I have now found the answer to my problem. This is a setting in the free ZoneAlarm firewall. I will describe the solution in the case of meeting other people that.

  I have the default setting of the version of ZoneAlarm is that it disables IPv6 when it starts. (I don't know if it's the same for all versions).

  Although I tried disabling ZoneAlarm (and my separate anti-virus) so he was trying to set up group residential, just turn it off has no impact on registry settings - DisabledComponents is always set at 255 until you change to 0 and, critically, restart the machine. Then, the parameter 0 (enabled) will come into force. Or so it seems to me as a layman.

  But if you did not disable the automatic startup of ZoneAlarm (like me) then as soon as you restart the computer, ZoneAlarm starts too and resets the 255, new registry entry to disable IPv6. If you can't join a homegroup.

  The solution is to open ZoneAlarm and choose firewall, hand and advanced. Then you will see the option to activate IPv6 networks. When I didn't do the notebook had no problem joined the homegroup.

  I don't know why I have the same problem on the second desktop computer. Maybe it's runnning a later version of ZoneAlarm to allow IPv6 - I haven't checked.

  In any case, I spent hours looking for this solution, so I hope that the description above helps someone else that has a parameter of the problem until a homegroup because of what seems ZoneAlarm made IPv6 settings in the registry.
