Wireless C4580 printer connect to laptop without a router, have problems.

Hello

I recently bought a new printer C4580 wireless. I am trying to connect this printer to my laptop (Sony Vaio, Vista, WiFi, integrated) without using a router (I have not). I read that I should be able to analyse for it on my laptop and then connect to "hpsetup". But unfortunetly I can't seem to find the printer on my laptop. He returns with "windows cannot find any other networks. But my wireless works very well, as recently, I was able to connect directly to another mobile friends (via ad-hoc). Can someone give me it please help? Thank you very much!

Dave

(Also, I have already installed the software that came with it)

I think you're safe with an ad - hoc.  It is a network only between two devices, no others are allowed in.

Please mark my post 'Solution' if it were indeed of the solution.  Thank you.

    VIsta - Local access only

    HI -.
    I recently moved.   I use the same router from my old apartment and I had no problem connection in the past.   Since I moved I have a new Time Warner modem (Cisco) and the modem works fine.

    The router also works very well I'm able to connect with my iPhone and IPad without any problem.

    But when I try to connect with my wireless laptop, it will only connect to Local access.    If I connect the laptop to the router with the ethernet cable, it works very well.

    It's a Dell Studio 15 with Vista.

    The computer is able to connect to wifi to other places without any problem, but for some reason that I can't connect home.   I tried to reset the modem and the router several times, but that did not help.   I tried the option repair & diagnose several times but it doesn't work.

    I tried to look for other solutions online and tried to disable IPv6, and while it helped some and I was able to connect wireless, the computer ran so slowly that it didn't seem like a good solution.

    This has been very frustrating.   Thanks in advance for any help or suggestion.

    Hello Staciusa,

    Have you tried to change the wireless channel that your router is running at? There may be interference that could prevent the internet connection:

    Take a look at step 6 in this article that give more details about it:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/Setup/wirelesstips.aspx

    If you need assistance to change the settings of the specific router, you will need to contact your router manufacturer or your internet service provider.

    Hello

    Thank you for your time to answer me. I appreciate it. I couldn't get your solution to work, as I posted in another forum, someone helped me and it put in place immediately. Maybe because I have Vista instead of XP or most probably I don't know what I'm doing.

  • laptop to wireless printer connectivity

    I have a locked box truck in which I want to set up a wireless network between my laptop and a wireless printer. My laptop has internet connectivity via an aircard card. A basic router will solve my problem? There is no modem, only the laptop and printer wireless, in which I want to connect wireless. Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    You don't need a router for that.

    Without a router, you can create a wireless ad - hoc between the laptop and the printer.  See, for example, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c00205926

    Many successes of Google more

    The security problem is that XP does support (easily hacked) WEP encryption in wireless ad-hoc mode. On the other hand, nobody's going very far from trying to connect to your printer. Just make sure you don't leave the laptop to active ad hoc wireless network when you are not printing.

    If you get an inexpensive wireless router, you can connect the laptop to the router by an Ethernet cable or wireless.  In this configuration, you will be able to use wireless more secure (WPA or WPA2) security that supports the link (computer or printer).

    In both cases, do not install (or disable) sharing files and printers for Microsoft Networks in the properties of the network card on the laptop.

    Of course, the three devices, only the laptop is likely to be able to operate without available 110vac, you will need to buy some sort of power supply to convert the truck 12VCC power.  Make sure that you add the requirements of power of the appliances that you will probably use in order to get a converter with a sufficient capacity.  I don't have any specific recommendations, but I don't tell you want it a little and do not go for the cheaper product.

  • configured printer / connection

    I just bought a hp - Laserjet pro m1536dnf (HP) printer, that has no connectivity wireless.

    Currently, I use a (WR) wireless router to access the internet at home.

    Q1: Can I use a network cable to connect my printer the WR, without using the usb cable provided in the box to connect the printer directly to my laptop and print documents?

    Assuming that the answer to Q1 is Yes, I want to better understand:

    Q2: while the WR transmit internet (wireless) signal to my laptop, the WR will also transmit printer signal to my laptop? This is why I am able to print from my laptop without direct connection to usb cable from my laptop to the printer?

    Hello

    Connect the printer via a wired ethernet cable or wireless makes no difference.

    As long as the computer and the printer connected to the same network (an any of them can be connected either wired or wireless) you can install the printer on the PC and enjoy its functionality.

    Kind regards

  • Unable to connect my laptop to the new wireless printer - error "installation failed" after entering my password/security key (WPA)

    I just bought an Epson printer. I went through the installation process on my laptop but I get the "Failed to install" error message after entering my password/security key (WPA). I am with BT and my home hub I have "Wireless Key", "PIN WPS wireless" and "Admin password" - which is it? I tried all three and not joy. Help!

    It is almost certainly looking for your "wireless key".

    The WPS Pin is only used if the printer supports "Wi - Fi Protected Setup" - which it probably isn't, and the "Admin" password is used to access your BT home hub to make configuration changes.

    In addition to identifying what wireless Epson printer you have, you can either
