Wireless printer is not found on the XP PC. Why?
- HP printer stopped working on XP PC over a wireless network.
- I can still print to the printer from two differnet Vista PC on the wireless network.
- So, I checked the printer properties in Control Panel. Somehow or other the IP address was bad:-S.
- I was not given access to "configure port" tab in properties of printer ports, even as an admin user.
- Added a new port. Still no joy!
- Remove the printer from the control panel.
- Tried to add the printer back in the Panel.
- The Add Printer Wizard indicates the name of the printer has been correctly entered (was included in the list of courses as
(------\HP photosmart 7200 series)
OR
printer has lost its connection to the server. - Judge again. Now the printer no longer appears in the list of course! :-(
- I don't know what to name it & I don't know how to find something about the print server. :-(((
- What should I try next?
Thank you.
I do not know why you can not configure the port. What happened when you tried?
In all cases, the following procedure should work.
Before you begin, check if the printer driver is still installed. It is probably. In the windows printers and faxes, click file > server properties > drivers tab for a list of all the currently installed printer drivers.
Preferably, the printer must be a static IP address assigned. The reason for this is that if the printer is turned off for long periods, it is possible that when it is turned on again that your router assigns a different IP address. 'HP Standard TCP/IP Port' has an option on the configuration page to 'Always print to this device, even if its IP address changes', but this box is unchecked by default, (b) box is not available in the standard Windows TCP/IP protocol port, and (c) I do not know what is reliability, is the Port.
You can set the IP address of the printer using the control panel of the printer or through its built-in web server. However, if you use the printer embedded web server, you lose the connection to the printer as soon as you 'applies' change. You should take a static IP outside the range of addresses assigned by your router.
You assigned a static IP address or use the default to let the router assign one IP address automatically, determine the IP address of the printer by printing a Network Setup page.
- In printers and faxes, click Add a printer.
- In the Add Printer Wizard, select "Local printer attached to this computer" but do NOT check the box "automatically detect and install my plug and play printer."
- Select "Create a new port." If 'HP Standard TCP/IP Port' is in the drop-down list, use it; Otherwise, use "Standard TCP/IP Port."
- In the "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" wizard type the IP address of the printer in the top box, and type a descriptive name in the lower area (for example, HP7200). If you add a TCP/IP Standard HP port, check the box to keep connectivity, especially if you do not use a static IP address.
- Complete the wizard.
If this does not work, thanks for posting back with as much detail as possible explaining where things have gone wrong. Don't paraphrase error messages.

HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel
My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel. How to fix it. I have a laptop Toshiba and Windows 7 Home Premium OS. Help, please. rwillm
Hey,.
Thanks for the update, rwillm. It seems that the installation of the printer can be a little messed up. If the printer software is always installed, but simply lacks the printer, then I would advise to do a little cleaning before choosing to add the printer back.
- Make sure that the printer is deleted from the file devices and printers
- Click on one of the remaining printers folder
- Select the properties of the print server at the top of the window
- Click the tab drivers
- Remove all drivers in this window for the Officejet 4500
Also check in the Device Manager to verify that there is no mention of remaining of the 4500.
- Click on the start menu
- Right click on computer
- Select manage in the list
- Click Device Manager in the list of questions on the left side of the window that opens
- Click the view at the top of the menu, and then select Show hidden devices
- Remove all references to the 4500 in the list of devices
After making sure of the device is gone, I recommend bike devices in the power circuit: router, computer and printer.
* Make sure the printer has a valid IP address after switching back on and is connected to the same network as your PC before adding the printer.
If the IP address and SSID are good for the printer, then try to add the printer with the printer software, you have installed.
- Click on the Start Menu
- Click on all programs
- Open the HP folder
- Open the folder for the series of the Officejet 4500 G510
- Select Add a device option
Let me know how it goes,

wireless printer is not connected to the printer
I have a HP deskjet 3050 J610. I recently changed the SSID of the wireless and now I can't print by saying that it is not connected. I tried to go to the printer and press setup, but the network does take one to match the SSID name. the wireless network test report says the wireless is on and working but theSSID found name failed. There are 3 detected networks.
You don't need the CD, just read this web page and click on each tab to see what's there.

Wireless mouse is not found by the software installed for the mouse
HP Comfort Wireless Laser mouse is not recognized during installation of the software provided with the mouse, and even after the pc has restarted that he still does not see the mouse. It however works but nothing can be configured in the software because it tells me no device found! installed on another pc with the same result: no devices found. went around with the connection button on the mouse, held next to the receiver: nothing.
Does he know this problem?
I recommend to uninstall the software for the mouse that you currently have and download and install the latest version of the software for the mouse:

We have a Photosmart C7180 was working wonderfully for a few years. Wireless connectivity is great, even move to a new city/home/internet provider required only run the printer Wireless Setup Wizard, and "poof" things began to print. So far.
We got new internet service (new router) and now the printer is not found. No amount of tweaking seems to be able to get our Mac to see. We have:
- Redownloaded and restart the installation of the driver on the Mac. Connect via USB, it works very well.
- Rerun Setup wireless network on the printer. He sees the wireless network and complete Setup.
- Checked the IP addresses: everything is comfortably accessible 192.168.0.xxx. The printer, the computer, the router, everything in this range.
- Connected to the printer in the Mac browser to http://192.168.0.6. He can be seen and worked with.
However, when we try to print or run the Mac installer, the printer is not found.
Help?
Success! With the help of an old wifi access point on the router and it all works. Same Bluetooth? Thank you!
