Wireless laptop cannot connect to Photosmart C5180 printer on network

I recently got a new computer, which is the main connection to our home network.  We have a laptop and a Photosmart C5180 printer.  I can't get the wireless laptop to connect to the printer, even though I have the shared printer on the pc.  I have the printer connected to the pc via a USB cable.

I see the printer shared and available on the laptop, but get the error message when you try to print.

Does anyone know what I'm missing that will allow me to print from wireless laptop?  It worked until I'm the new pc, so I know I'm missing something.  Should the laptop have both installed printer software/drivers?

Yes, the printer directly connected to a router with an Ethernet cable will be the simplest solution.

Yes, all computers will be able to access the printer on the network as long as they are connected to the same router (Ethernet or wireless, regardless).

He shared from the computer and the printer connected to a computer with a USB cable are not a real printer on a network.  This creates what is essentially a print server and the computer with the USB connection manages the interaction of this printer with all the devices on the network.

A USB connected printer sharing can be done, but it's a lot more work that the printer is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.

It's really a lot more work to set up the printer with a printer shared over a network connection USB method true when it comes to do this with Windows 7.

Windows XP made it incredibly simple, but he was not very secure on a network.  With Windows XP, all you had to do was to share the printer, and then install it on another computer.

With Windows 7 on both computers, you must configure a homegroup, enable file sharing and printers (disabled by default), share the printer and install the printer on the computer client / remote.  In addition, this method will require the host to be on anytime for remote printing machines.

The printer is connected to the router with a Ethernet means that the functionality of the printer depends solely on the router being on (most are on 24/7).  Computers will print regardless of the other computer either on or off.  There should be a shorter time in the impression that a computer is responsible for printing rather than two computers.

Again, I will be more than happy to help you set up with the method USB shared with two Windows 7 computers if that's what you want.  You find that it is much easier to use the Ethernet connected method to be simpler and more efficient to print well.

If you want, here's a little more information from Microsoft on sharing a printer between two units of Windows 7.

Setting up a homegroup

Activate the file & printer sharingand sharing the printer on a Windows 7 computer

As long as the printer & file sharing is enabled and two Windows 7 computers are in the same group of residential, you should be able to use the USB share method.  Without these two two options being Setup, it simply does not work with two Windows 7 systems.

  • Cannot connect my Photosmart C4780 to my network wireless (home)

    Hello

    I searched this forum and tried to solve my problem, but none of the elaborate suggestions.

    I have a Photosmart C4780 and am under OSX10.8

    Recently, our internet provider changed our wireless router and our SSID. As a result, the printer that is connected to the original network and properly functioning has stopped working. I tried to connect the printer to the new network, but failed. He said now that the printer is connected to the hp network (something) and I can't change it for the new SSID.

    Could you please tell me what to do? I have installed the software mentioned in the HP website, plugged the USB cable into the printer to try to set it up, but it says that the printer cannot find any existing network (although I'm next to the printer and connected to the intended network wireless)

    Fact a little kind of hard-reset on the printer can be a good strategy? How can he do?

    Thanks in advance

    Pedro

    PS: The printer works correctly when printing via USB

    PS2: It is not an option to return the SSID of the router to the previous

    Hi @pedroa

    You say "I have installed the software mentioned in the HP website", but there is no software for the compatible with 10.8 c4780. Mountain V10.8 OS X Lion: installing and using the printer on a Mac with the Mountain Lion.

    As you know, this printer has not a wizard wireless version in the front panel instead us would typically connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer and run the installation wizard.

    Because you have 10.8 on Mac, and it there is no full feature software and drivers, you won't be the configuration wizard, to configure the printer. You may be wondering now, well how can I set up then?  Good question, we will restore the default network printers and the printer will have its own IP address designed for whats called an Ad-Hoc connection (wireless router). We will put the computer on the network printer and then print a report to get the printers IP address. At this point, we can access the built-in web server (EWS) and run the wireless from there. Once the printer on the network with the router, we can put the computer on the network and vuala that the printer and the computer will be on your network.

    To restore the default network settings - since you have done this before I guess you know how, but for others who can see the message, here are the steps

    1. Press the wireless button
    2. Select wireless settings
    3. Scroll and select default network.  Press Yes to recognize
    4. The radio turns off (the blue LED turns off).  You may need to press the wireless button to turn on wireless

    Put the computer on the network printer (temporary)

    1. click on the symbol of the airport on the upper left side of the screen Mac
    2. choose the network looking compared to the printer (we could say a variant of the name of your printer or HP setup) - it may take a few minutes to make it appear

    Print the wireless network test - wait a few minutes to make sure the computer have established an ad hoc connection, otherwise the report will not have an IP address

    1. Press the Scan button (it also the wireless menu button)
    2. Select wireless settings
    3. Testing wireless access, then select.

    The wireless network Test prints, search and note the IP address.

    Open a browser (Safari) and enter the IP address in the URL (address bar).

    Click on the network, on the left tab, click on wireless or 802.11.

    At this point, we are looking at fore 'start the wizard' should be on the right side.

    As soon as we will have to set up the printer to your network, you can put your computer on your own network.

    Now you can add the printer in system preferences and print

    Please let me know if that fixes the problem, thanks.

  • My laptop cannot connect to wireless internet. Ethernet works fine. Wireless is enabled on the laptop.

    original title: portable wireless problems

    Hi guys, my laptop cannot connect to wireless internet. I tried to use ConfigFree Diagnostic tests already installed on my computer, reset the router, and even taking on the router for 30 seconds and put it to. On my laptop wireless switch is turned on, too. Is the only way I can connect to the internet via an ethernet cable and I started to disconnect from the wireless internet just yesterday. I know that my router is not the problem because I have a laptop connected to her brother. Also, I tried the FN + F8 key on my Toshiba laptop. Thank you in advance.

    ====================================================================

    To do a hard reset on the router and the modem, you must feed their STOP, wait 3 minutes,
    then then turn on the modem on - when it comes back - router - when it is set to zero
    computers.
    ----------------------------------------------

    Anyway the same answer applies: update WiFi driver that something has probably
    He touched. Make sure that the wireless device is turned on, if there is a switch on the computer.
    Many Toshiba have a WiFi switch on the front or side.

    Update the driver WiFi, use the wired (NIC) to download the driver or do it on another
    system and your transfer on removable media such as CD, DVD or a USB key.

    Control Panel - device - network - WiFi note the brand manager and full
    model information - double click - writing tab Drivers version - then power management tab uncheck "allow the computer to turn off this device...". »

    Then on the tab driver, click Update driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind
    drivers of certification) - then right click on the device - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will
    update the driver stack.

    Go to system Maker and search for the WiFi Driver updated - download - SAVE - go to
    where you put it - make a right click on it - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT

    Then go to the site of the manufacturer of the device and get even more recent (Realtek, Intel, or one that makes
    the device) and try the install again.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Windows 7 cannot connect to a shared printer (error 0x0000000d code)

    I try to add a laptop to my home network and can not get the printer to connect.  Everything is wireless.

    The main PC uses Windows 7 Home Premium.  32-bit operating system.

    The new laptop uses Windows 7 Professional.  64-bit operating system.

    The all-in-one is Kodak ESP9 + 0250.

    The laptop recognises the printer on the network, but I get the error message: Windows 7 cannot connect to a shared printer (error 0x0000000d code)

    Any ideas on how to make the printer connect?

    The usual reason is no driver on the laptop. You should install the drivers and the software of the printer on each computer on the network. Once this is done, it will connect well. The network itself, will show the printer as a gift, just the laptop won't connect ' cuz he doesn't know how.

  • Wireless Manager cannot connect to 3G T-Mobile provider

    Hi @ all,

    I test the Toshiba Wireless Manager 5 (5.2.1047.66) on Windows 7 RC1 64 bit and I have the problem, that the Toshiba Wireless Manager cannot connect to T-Mobile. He always timedout while trying to connect.
    I don't see why. If I use a numbering Windows connection then I'll connect to the ISP network.

    does anyone have an idea?

    Kind regards

    Alen Ahja

    Hello

    The profile used is taken from your provider's SIM card - do not try to create one yourself. He usually works with the settings.

    Try this:
    1. disable the 3 G module and exit the Wireless Manager.
    2. wait 5-10 seconds.
    3. turn on the 3 G module, and then open the Wireless Manager.

    Should work?

    I have the problem that the module disconnects after a while. After it is not possible to reconnect because the Wireless Manager does not respond or I get a problem of downtime as yours.

    See you soon

  • My HP Pavilion dv9720Ous laptop cannot connect to internet

    I installed a new Buffalo-G-CBOA router for home. My HP Pavilion dv9720Ous laptop connects to the router, but the HP laptop cannot connect to internet. Is there something that needs happeon on the PC to connect to the internet? Thank you

    How are you communicating on this forum?

    I suppose that from another PC, correct?

    Download you the driver on the PC that you are using, and you glitches the file on a CD, or copy on a USB key.

    You transfer the driver file that you copied to a flash drive or a CD into the computer that needs the update of the driver, then run.

    Thank you

    Try to go in the tools on the printer and to restore the default settings of the network.  He's going to knock it out of the network briefly but then set it back up as if it were the first time.  You meet intellectual property conflicts, and it is a first step in troubleshooting.  It can change the IP address of the original one, as well, but that is not a bad thing.  Let me know how it goes.

  • Computer Vista laptop cannot connect to new wireless router

    I had the laptop for about a year and a half, and he has a history of being pretty skittish about the wireless connection.  Often he simply refuses to do so.  During vacation last year, for example, the other three laptops connected family easily to wi - fi hotel, but mine has refused to.  There are a lot of other moments when the laptop could not connect, but I was able to connect to two most important places - home and work - without much trouble, and so I haven't looked too hard to solve the problems of connection up to now.

    This week, I replaced the router in my original configuration.  The old Netgear router kept giving up the connection between her and my ISP.  The new Linksys router looks rock solid in this regard.  I have a desktop running XP computer that is wired to the new router Linksys, and he sees the internet very well.  My laptop Vista unable to connect (wireless), however.  He sees the network with a lot of intensity of the signal, and it tries to connect.  I get a message saying that the connection takes longer than usual, and then another message saying 'connected.'  However, I do not have internet access, and I see other devices (just the XP desktop, really) on the network.  The Network and Sharing Center shows my laptop connected to the 'unidentified network', and then there is a red X between this network and the Internet (represented by a grey globe).  Laptop computer signals its 'access' as "local only".

    From the desktop, I can access the internet, so the router is connected to the points upstream.  From the desktop, I can also access the router configuration pages, and I see that it does not list the laptop as a dhcp client, even if the laptop thinks that it is connected.

    ipconfig on laptop computer displays a wacky IPv4 address: 169.254.2.91 and I guess that the laptop does not get an address passed to the router.  I think that there should be a 192.168. *. * address if it worked properly.

    Now, I was pretty sure my laptop's wireless adapter to work properly.  It always connects to the old router and it always connects to the work.  But to be sure and really test the new router, I went out and bought another USB adapter wireless.  When I plug it into the computer to Office XP, the Office connects to the router and can see the internet (even with the connection cable is disconnected).  So the new router and the new wireless USB adapater properly.  When I plug the USB wireless adapter into the laptop, the laptop still can't connect and still not get a good ip address assigned by the router.

    I've been at this for a few days now, and I could really use some help.  I read a few items in the Microsoft forums that was supposed to fix the problem.  One of them told me to try to start a program called DHCP in the Administrative Tools folder.  I do not have this program on my computer.  Another told me manually change my registry (ouch!) and add a new DWORD value, and set its value to 1.  I did, but it did not fix the problem.

    I would be very grateful for any help.

    Jim

    Alright.  I am home to work and back again.  I have read several posts with people reporting problems similar to mine, so I guess I'm not alone in this.  In a thread, the experts proposed to start in Mode safe mode with networking.  So I gave that a shot.  I still couldn't really connect - just this 'local only' without an assigned IP address.

    One thing I did notice, is that my laptop brand and its wireless adapter seem to get a special mention in most positions.  I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC running Vista Home Premium SP2, 32-bit version (even if the processor is 64-bit).  The wireless adapter is an Atheros AR5007.  Several other people with this card have reported problems.  Maybe it's the cause?

    I look into updating the driver for the card, even if yesterday's test with the separate USB wireless adapter showed that the problem could not just be limited to the Atheros card.  To search for a driver update, I connect my laptop to the router with an ethernet cable.  It's nice to see the web on your laptop.  No update driver does.

    For fun, I try to establish a wireless connection with the router, while the wired connection is still in place.  Looks like maybe it worked?  I say a little prayer and unplug the ethernet cable...

    It's a miracle!  I have a wireless connection to the router and beyond, to the internet.  Huzzah!

    The network has a real name, too, instead of just 'unidentified network '.  I want to change the network type from the public to the private, which I was unable to do while he was still 'unidentified '.

    Can I terminate the connection so that I can see what happens when I try to reconnect.

    Another miracle!  It connects to and still see the internet.  Callooh!  Colay!

    Next test: see what happens after a reboot... (please, please, please)...

    Ch-ching!  It works again!

    Final (?) test: reinstall the McAffee internet security suite and restart.

    And it still works.

    Here's a recap of what I found:
    1. laptop could not connect wireless router again, despite dozens of attempts in which I get every available straw
    2. laptop computer could see the internet when connected to the router
    3. laptop could connect wirelessly to the router while the wired connection is in place
    4. Once this first wireless, laptop computer was able to connect to the router even when the wired connection has been removed and the computer restarts

    I would describe my discovery above as a work-around rather than as a solution, however.  It does not always help me stay connected the next time I'm on vacation, for example.  But perhaps the information I provided can help experts to diagnose the real problem a little.

    I look forward to hear something back.

    Tip: Make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

    When you are finished, please let me know the result. If there are printing problems that are still visible, try to make a copy of the printer and tell me what's happening! If you see errors, made me know what they say, if you please!

    (Please try to print from more than one program on your PC)

    If one of my suggestions, helped to reach a solution, I ask you to click on the button "Accept as Solution" please and thank you!

  • Wireless devices cannot connect to each other using the router EA6900

    I use the 2.4 Ghz network and none of my wireless devices are able to communicate with each other...  I could not connect to a wireless printer to my laptop wireless (through the router) and thought it was unusual.  I tried ping does not work either.  I then plugged a cable ethernet to the laptop and could ping the printer wireless without a problem.   I tried other devices (wired and wireless connections) and it seems that no wireless device can ping any other wireless device.  If, however, one of the devices is connected, it works fine...  All wireless devices to connect to the router and internet without problem... It's just when they try to communicate with each other.  I have experimented with the desktop using the ethernet adapter, then the wireless adapter... same results.  My wireless using my previous router devices could communicate with each other.  It's almost as if this device has insulated AP running if this so-called it doesn't support that.

    Customer service said: I'm the only one with this problem.  Does anyone else have this problem?

    I have an ea6900 and it works fine for me. Sounds almost like you are connected to the guest network which would be sort of this way. Did you do a power reset? It has never worked? Try to remove the power and back to see if it clears up it.
