• Printer maybe Setup connects through USB and wireless printing? or either one or the other?

  I would like to connect my printer to the since my MAC using a USB cable and also be able to use the wireless printing functionality without having to reconfigure my printer.  Is this possible?

  I have a Photosmart 7520

  Hello

  All my tests were using Windows, but I think we can do it for Windows why not Mac. It takes config of the printer as a wireless printer (IE to connect to a network) and install drivers, or applications on OTHER computers and mobile devices.

  Kind regards.

• Wireless printer is configured, but the Setup program install HP is in an endless loop

  Wireless printer is configured (HP Officejet 4500), but the Installer HP Installer is in an endless loop.  It says "Fatal error during installation." and keep trying to uninstall/reinstall/etc etc.  Printer is set up and works fine, just get rid of this crazy loop - no guidance?

  What operating system is installed?

  I recommend that you uninstall the software printer of the folder in the start menu-->--> HP--> HP software uninstalling programs

  After the uninstall is complete and your rebooted system install and set up the printer again.

• Cannot connect Windows XP to the wireless printer.

  WINDOWS XP PRINTER WI - FI CONNECTION

  I have Windows XP Media Center Service Pack 3 OS that worked a HP Photosmart Plus B209 a - m with a USB cable.  Since I just bought a new laptop (Windows 7 Professonal OS) I decided to create a home network with a router Cradlepoint MBR 900.  The two laptops (XP and 7 OSs) were connected to the internet via the router with no problems.  Windows 7 Pro OS laptop is connected wireless to the printer Photosmart Plus, I had implemented as confiquiration wireless the printer first.  But the failure of the attempt to get the OS Windows XP Media Center to connect to the wireless printer.  During the installation process to connect the printer to the XP system wireless it asked me to choose which printer I wanted to connect to.  The Photosmart Plus printer was selected and visible, then I clicked Next.  Shortly after, a small screen appeared stating the "serscan.sys" file could not be found and I have to insert a Windows XP Pro CD to get the file or run the installer of this file.  This issue has occurred both when I tried to install it with the CD provided by HP and when I tried installing the HP download website.  All I have is a recovery for Windows XP disk provided with the laptop and not a CD Windows XP Pro.  What should I do to fix this?  Thanks, Lonnie

  Thanks, that was fast.  Please, let me make sure I have this correct.  First of all, I have two recovery disks provided with the computer, with Windows XP Media Edition and one for the drivers.  I should not use either of these disks, right?  If I had the previous correct answer then let me ask the following question;  When looking to borrow the disc should be Windows XP Media Edition or can I borrow any disk of Windows XP?  Kim Merci for your help continues.  Lonnie

  Lonnie,

  Before the hunting around for friends who might have a CD, do the following research.  For each of them, make sure that you have checked the search options in the 'Advanced Options' to

  • Search system folders
  • Search for files and hidden folders
  • Search subfolders

  Search your entire hard drive and both CDs you have to serscan.  Do not include the .sys at the end of the file name.

  Search for Driver.cab.  Report of the Office (s).  On your hard disk, you should find one or both

  • C:\Windows\i386\Driver.cab
  • C:\Windows\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab

  You can also find these files on the "recovery disk".

  Report what you find, including locations of found nothing.  It is possible (but I don't think likely) you will find a file named serscan.sy_ - If Yes, include this information in your results.

  Or, if you want to ignore all this, you can download serscan.sys since my SkyDrive-->

  https://SkyDrive.live.com/redir.aspx?CID=18b259158254905b&RESID=18B259158254905B! 225 & Thierry = 18B259158254905B! 214

  The file should go to C:\Windows\system32\dllcache (a hidden directory) and probably in C:\Windows\system32 (I do not use this file, if it is not in my system32 folder).

  Or you can just save it to your desktop and "direct the Setup" it there (if you do this, check more later to confirm that he got into C:\Windows\system32\dllcache and if not, put a copy).

• LaserJet M1212nf: Problems setting up wireless printing

  I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my office, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wireless. I spent probably 10 + hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.

  It drives me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a society of software and very savvy in computer science. However, my non-techie family have all managed to set up wireless printing at their home in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.

  Here are the steps that I followed, although I also tried many variations, like trying with my USB cable connected or disconnected.

  (1) uninstall the current installation of the printer (USB).

  (2) on the printer itself, make sure that the settings > network settings are the default values.

  (3) using the latest drivers and installation .exe from the HP site, start a new installation of the printer.

  (4) when you are prompted, select "wireless."

  RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and indicates that he is there any printer on the network. (Huh? Which network?)

  (5) try again once and this time select "Network Setup."

  RESULT: even if my firewall is turned OFF, search and says that it cannot detect a network.

  If the wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to install, I don't know where to go from here.

  (6) I also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I'm at halfway through the installation, it tells me that it cannot find my printer.

  I am suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may even not allow for wireless printing. Some info on the HP site says to check a particular button lights up to indicate that the printer is online. This light does not exist on my printer model. However, the parameters of the printer from my physics has parameters such as: "show IP address," etc., which would lead me to believe that it can work wireless.

  I have read all the help related HP printer, and there is nothing which explains, in simple language, what are the types of cables, I need to set up a network and the Wi - Fi connection, when to plug them in, what facilities to perform on the many Add - ons available, etc.. I don't know that it's a 5 minute process if there was just a good explanation in the help of the UP of how do. Assistance would be appreciated!

  Hello @SKYdiz,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

  I understand that you have had problems for the last 2 years and spent many hours trying to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP for wireless printing. At this point I'll provide more information about it. First of all, are sitting you?

  Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf multifunction printer isn't a model wireless printer. The "nf" at the end of the name of the printer is the abbreviation of 'network, fax. Therefore, if your printer is not able to connect to your router wireless, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable.

  All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable to the back of your printer to your router. That all devices connected to this router even (whether through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print it on your printer. For more information on configuring ethernet on your printer, please visit: Setup the printer to a wired network in Windows 7 for HP's LaserJet printers.

  Now, if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network, HP makes other Laserjet models that do not use the wireless function. Here are two LaserJet who are black only, multifunction wireless units that resemble your current printer model: HP LaserJet MFP HP LaserJet MFP M225dw Pro and M127fw Pro.

  Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. If you have other questions or concerns, I'll be more than happy to help you. Happy new year!

  Hello

  Please confirm the exact model of your printer?

  Here is the link for you to download the drivers for the same thing:

  If you can't print wireless, I first suggest you to check the firewall settings. Disable the firewall and try to print.

  Method 2: Disable the firewall and check.

  The Windows Firewall is enabled by default in this version of Windows. To make sure that it has not been disabled, follow these steps:

  1. open the Windows Firewall by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall and then click on Windows Firewall.

  2. in the left pane, click turn Windows Firewall on or off.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. below for each type of network location, click on disable Windows Firewall, and then click OK. We recommend that you turn on the firewall for all network location types.

  Method 3:

  NETWORK PRINTING CONFIGURATION PAGE
  1. press Setup, then scroll to the bottom and look for network.
  2. press OK on the network, it will give you the first option 'display network settings'.
  3. press OK on him and he will give the first option "print a network configuration page."
  4 select that and press OK. It will display the network configuration page. This document, you will be able to see the IP address of the printer

  Print a network configuration page and note the IP address of the printer.

  1 open the printer folder and check the icon of the printer with a checkmark on it and reads the ready state.
  2. right click on the printer icon and select Properties.
  3. Select the ports tab and click on Configure port and enter the same IP address and try printing that would solve the problem.

  I hope this helps.

• Cannot set up and install a wireless printer. HP Photosmart the 427 UDP Port

  I know this question has been posted several times, and before I go, I want to report that I was researching spending last week and try every possible solution I've read. So I hope that someone can offer some new or still has outstanding question.

  Equipment: HP laptop, Windows 7, HP Photosmart Plus B209 all-in-one, Netgear WNDR3700 (Dual Band), Norton 360 Antivirus/Firewall

  My laptop and printer are both about two years. I have the wireless printer set up in my previous home on a different network (more old netgear router). No issues what so ever.

  So I recently moved into a new home, bought a new router and set up a wireless network. Everything works fine without thread; two laptops, xbox, ps3, tv, cell phones, etc.). I finally had time to set up the printer. USB works fine. But it can not configure for wireless use. I get the infamous (together with HP printers) error message that my computer cannot communicate with the printer and I need to open port 427 UDP. Tried twice more, but no dice.

  Uninstalled all HP software and the printer driver and re-downloaded/installed the latest things from HP website. Tried to install the printer and Wireless Setup again, but still no dice. USB works fine.

  And there began my long trip. Here is the list of things that I did without success, and I'm sure I did right. Turn off my firewall (norton and windows). Opens UDP Port 427 (norton and windows). 427 on my router (port forwarding) open UDP port. Maunally added the printer through windows as a wireless device. Manually add a network printer.

  I still get the same error of UDP port 427. Please PLEASE help me. tI really want to fix this and refuse to believe that something as simple as it is not repairable. Printers are cheap and I don't mind buying a new one (not HP), but I have enough stubborn to give my with trivial issues such as this.

• Office Jet 4620: Connect wireless printer without USB cable

  I have a desktop HP 4620 jet.  He was hanging in my old router.  When I tried to join software router again asked me to use a USB cord.  I do not have a such cord for this printer and want to set using the wireless, but sofeward me continues to send at the option of the cable.  The router is ATT U-verse.  I need step by step instructions on how to connect the wireless printer.

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  HP Auto Wireless automatically sets the printer without connecting it to a USB port, only if your computer is also connected wireless to the network. If your PC does not have wireless connectivity USB cable would be necessary, except if your router supports WPS.

  If your PC is connected wireless to the router, restore the pritner as follows:

  1. Click on the WiFi the printer button and select restore network settings, confirm and invites.
  2. Click on the Setup (wrench) and select Tools, then restore the default settings and confirm any command prompt.
  3. Turn the printer off and turn it back on
  4. Open the HP Officejet 4620 software and follow the instructions to connect a wireless printer.

  Another option would be the WPS Pin Code or button WPS, if your router supports supported such a, tap the icon on the printer wireless and select WPS or Wireless protected Setup, follow the steps on the screen, press the button of your router or a PIN code, see the documentation for your router to check the capabilities of WPS.

  If none apply to your PC printer or yout, use a wireless computer connected or get a USB cable for the installation of hht, so a cable was supplied with the printer.

  Kind regards

• HP Officejet 6500 Wireless - printer installation failed to complete the

  I have the installation of the printer with a static IP address and a Linksys WRT310N router. I am able to connect wireless from a desktop running Windows 7 PC. Then tried to install on my laptop Dell also runs Windows 7, with software firewall disabled, but the Setup program does not complete.

  The measures taken are: run the add a peripheral Officejet icon from the desktop, select the wireless option in printers network found it shows my printer with the good IP and MAC, then I select him and click Next, run Network Diagnostics shows then goes to the installation of your screen of the printer. The green progress bar goes all the way through and says 100%, but then says "printer setup failed to complete. Clicking Retry done the same thing, then just closes but no installed printer.

  Help!

  Hello

  I had the same problem on my two computers to Vista (x 64) and 7 (x 64).

  I manually configured address (192.168.1.90) on my printer (OfficeJet Pro 8500).

  In part, I installed current drivers (OJP8500vA909_Full_14.exe), but had the same problem as you:

  the printer has been detected but not installed. I had the same helpful error ' printer setup failed to complete «...»»

  Strangely, I could open the printer info web page to my IP address (http://192.168.1.90), for the config network was good.

  Here is what fixed the problem for me:

  -Open the computer

  -Click on network

  -must be registered with your printer

  -Double-click it, and then click 'continue' if he asks you to do

  This will start an installation of the driver. When it is finished, try to rerun the original installer or click the icon that was placed on your desktop to complete the installation of the printer.

  Hello

  Based on the following link, the printer doesn't have a wireless card so you can't use only a router to make wireless unless your router is also a print server, in this case, it is not.

• Mac Book Pro and HP Envy 110F wireless printing problems

  I got my Mac book Pro for Christmas 2013 and initially had no problem printing wireless to my HP Envy 110F, but for some reason, I keep getting problems with printing to the envy of 110. We don't have printing problems with our Ipad for this printer.

  I can connect the printer to my Mac book Pro by putting 192.168.1.72 IP address in a web browser, but I get on the symbol bit offline when I print the urge. Last night I reinstalled the printer to print wireless on my mac pro book using a printer cable, which then worked well, but today the same problem reappeared.

  I'm starting to think that the problem may have started with the latest version of the update of the operating system to the Mavericks 10.9.4.

  All thoughts welcome.

  Hi @UKCheshire

  Since you are able to print from the iPad to the wireless printer, I suspect you have to something. I think that the question has something to do with the communication between the printer and the computer and not between the printer and the router. Please use the following document to solve the problem; "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Mac OS X.

  If the problem persists, do not give up hope, let me know and we will work through it together.
