Let's reset the printer. Turn it off, hold the # and 6 keys while turning it back on. Go to Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test afterward to see if it worked.

Hp photosmart c309a all in one series printer indicates the wireless radio is not functioning.

The printer has had difficulty finding the wireless router.
I had a problem with the print coming out on an angle.
I cleaned the rollers with a dry rag now the wireless radio is not functioning at all.

Try resetting the printer. Turn it off. Hold the # and 9 keys while turning it back on.
If this does not work, call HP support: www.hp.com/go/totalcare (click on Printers & Monitors, use the phone number on the resulting page).

Photosmart c309a- 'The wireless radio is not functioning, contact HP support'

My Photosmart c309a wont connect wirelessly. Upon running the wireless network test, the report states, and I quote "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support". The report then states the following:
Wireless on PASS
Wireless working FAIL
and everything following that stated as 'not run'.
Ive searched for other threads on the subject, and the only sloutions I can find are unplug the printer and plug it back in to reset it (made no difference), and try the HP print and san doctor (link was dead, found it manually and didnt work as it cant connect to or even see the printer on the network).
So the question is, is this a hardware fault, and if so what can be done about it?

Hello,
Yes, it is an hardware issue and indicates that the Wireless card is not functional.
Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.

HP Photosmart prem C310. The wireless radio is not functioning. contact HP support

Hi there, I turned off and unplug my printer as had to move it for a couple of weeks, and now I have put it back and switched it on it will not print. It will not atomatically contect to internet. I have checked router and it is fine. I get the wirelss radio is not functioning message on the network test page. Please help its sooo frustrating k

There are no known general issues with the radio in the printer you mention, and the fact that it used to work makes me wonder if it's possible that the radio actually got damanged in the move.
I would suggest turning the wireless radio off and then back on again and then power cycling the printer and printing the test page. You should be able to reach this option by pressing the wireless icon or the wrench.
If the issue still occurs, then I would suggest restoring the network defaults (again reachable through the wireless icon or the wrench), powering cycle the printer and printing the test report again.
If neither of these resolve the issue, then I would be suspicious that the radio is actually no longer working.

Photosmart premium all in one c309a wireless radio indicater is on, but won't recognize network

Using a windows 7 Dell laptop with my printer and it's been working fine. Suddenly, my wireless indicator on the printer is on, but I can't get the printer to recognize the network at all, and obviously can't print from my Laptop wirelessly. Works fine by USB. I have run all of the diagnostics tools on the hp website, to no avail.. The printer is only 18 months old - Hate to toss it out just for this! Any ideas of how to fix this? I've reset the router, hard reset the printer and followed all of the diagnostic steps. I'm baffled!

Yes. Turn the printer off, hold the # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on. The printer will reset. If this does not work you could try the same thing with # and 9 keys, but I doubt it will do any better.

HP all in one C309a: Error message: Wireless Radio is not functioning. Contact HP support

Today all of a sudden, a 2 year old HP Photosmart C309a All-in-One printer is not longer connecting to my local Wireless Home Network. There is no change to network configuration to the TLink 3000 hub that I was using. All other clients (Mac OX, Vista, Ubunta 11.1, various versions of iOS and Android Icecream Sandwich) have no problem connecting to the same hub. No change to the network configure on the Printer. The machine have been standing as a stand alone machine and connected wirelessly to the network since day one in the corner of my office. Its within range of my router. I ran Wireless Network Test report to see what's going on. The title says "The Wireless Radio is not functioning. Contact HP Support" . Any number of reboot cycle didn't help. Out of frustration, I press "reset back to Factory Setting" on the printer. I did that, and then press "Wireless Network Wizard", and it was on "Searching for Wireless Router" forever... What opinions do I have? Get a new printer? or use good old 10-base T network cable to hook up the machine?

My HP C309a had exactly the same problem. Everything I found on the internet said that the printer could not be fixed and the only solution was to buy a new printer. The printer report said the wireless radio was not functioning. A factory reset did not fix the problem either. I had a problem with my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop with the video graphics IC. The solution for that fix was to do a solder reflow of the graphics IC. Did it and fixed the problem. I figured maybe the same fix would work on my printer as I didn't have anything to lose at this point. I located and removed the wireless radio board in the printer (on the left side upper right corner). I then did a solder reflow on BOTH sides of the board. I put the board back into the printer and wa-la, it connected immediately to the network. It has been functioning with no problems now for at least four weeks now (knock on wood). Hope this helps.

Setup can't detect network printer Photosmart C7250 all in one

I volunteer for our local historical society. The person who did a lot of the computer maintenance work is not active at this time so I’ve begun to look at things.
There is a Gateway PC running Windows 7 64 bit home premium, a Sony Vio laptop running Vista 32 bit home premium, an HP Laser printer and (of most importance here) an HP Photosmart C7250 All in one printer.
Internet connectivity is via a dsl line with a combination modem/router. I think the modem/router is a Westell or an Actiontec through Frontier Communications (formerly Verizon in this area) but I’m not sure and I’m not at the museum now.
A couple of weeks ago I was able to connect the laptop to the network via wifi. My next step is to connect the laptop wirelessly to the printer so we can print wirelessly over the network. The printer was originally set up through a usb connection so I changed it to a wired Ethernet connection. The PC now successfully prints to the printer over the network. I downloaded the software and drivers directly to the laptop from the HP site and began the installation. When it got to the point of finding the network printer the software couldn’t detect it. I then put in the ip address for the printer (from the network info printed out from the printer) and it still couldn’t find it.
This same situation occurred when I tried to set it up on my personal laptop (Win7 , 64 bit) as well. Setup couldn’t detect the network printer, even after searching for the network ip address.
Since the printer is connected to the network (router) via an Ethernet cable, I don’t have the wifi radio turned on in the printer. This shouldn’t make any difference.
I’ve searched the forums and haven’t seen anything that is like my issue.
I don’t what else to do. Hopefully someone will give me some advice on what to do next.

What does it say?
If the network has Wireless Isolation turned on it will prevent wired devices from seeing wireless devices. Do you have access to the router?

Hello @Joarlujo,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with resolving the black print quality issue that you're experiencing when printing from your Windows 7 computer to your HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer. Thank you for including the troubleshooting steps you have already attempted prior to reaching out for support. At this time it does sound like you have a defective black ink cartridge, or your HP Photosmart is experiencing a Printhead issue. The Printhead is the part that the cartridges fit into. It controls 'reading' the cartridges and putting ink on the page. If the Printhead is defective than you may experience cartridge detection, or print quality issues. The Printhead is a non-replaceable part within this specific model. Therefore, should the Printhead be defective a whole unit replacement would be needed. In saying that, there are troubleshooting steps that we can attempt to resolve this quality issue. Can I please have you follow the steps below.
Solution one: Use genuine HP cartridges:
HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink cartridges. HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink cartridges or refilled HP ink cartridges. If you do not use genuine HP ink cartridges, the steps provided might not resolve print quality issues.
Solution two: Check the ink levels, and then replace the depleted cartridge:
1. On the printer control panel, press the Setup button.
2. Press the Down Arrow button until Tools is selected.
3. Press OK.
4. When the Display Ink Gauge option displays, press OK. The ink gauge displays.
5. Please replace any low or depleted cartridges.
Solution three: Print a self-test report:
Load plain white paper into the input tray.
Press Setup.
Press the Down Arrow () to highlight Print Report.
Press OK.
Press the Down Arrow () to highlight Self-Test Report.
Press OK.
If the test page printed clearly, check the settings and media you are using, and then try to print again.
If the report or printout shows streaks, lines, or missing colors, continue to the next solution.
Solution four: Clean the printhead:
Load plain white paper in the input tray.
Press Setup, press the Down Arrow (), press Tools, and then press OK.
Press the Down Arrow () to select Clean Printhead, and then press OK. A test page prints.
If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, continue to the next solution.
Solution five: Align the printer:
Load plain white paper in the input tray.
Press Setup, press the Down Arrow (), press Tools, and then press OK.
Press the Down Arrow () to select Align Printer, and then press OK. A test page prints.
If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.
If the issue persists, continue to the next solution.
Solution six: Calibrate the color:
On the Windows taskbar, click the Start icon (), click All Programs, click HP, click the folder for your HP Photosmart, and then click the icon for your HP printer (). The HP software window opens.
Click Settings, click Print Settings, and then click Printer Toolbox.
On the Device Services tab, click Calibrate Color, and then follow the on-screen instructions. The procedure takes about two minutes and requires two sheets of paper.
Try to print again.
