Network connection to HP P3015dn printer

I have a problem with several layers to it.
After MANY years of service my HP laserjet 2100 series printer started to have feed issues so I thought it was time to update. Bought the P3015dn printer as a companion to the color laserjet. Printer had issues with tray select, auto select and was irritating to get to work as needed but finally sucessful using the USB connection. Now the big issue. When I ran the set up software that comes with the printer and chose network installation the software found the printer right away, I acepted the setting and continuned. Was able to configure the printer properly to print from the main office computer so installed the software on the computer in the shipping department. So far so good. Later I discovered my main computer was off line from the internet which has never happened before. Did some trouble shooting and discovered the Gateway IP was missing from my network card configuration. Re entered the IP address and immidiatly had internet back. Thirty seconds later internet is gone again. Checked the setting for the adapter in IPv4 and gateway is missing agin. All the other settings are intact, just the gateway address is missing. Repeated the process again and thirty seconds later address is missing again. Repeat and repeat. Not going to test the defanition of insanity. Went and checked the computer in the shipping department and same problems. I have a combination of (26) static IP nodes on my network, a mixture of wired and wireless and only these two computers were having an issue. Since this was the next morning after adding the network installation for the printer I didn't connect the relationship right away. Short version....finally narrowed the testing down to disconnecting the new HP printer and problem went away, adapter would hold it's gateway IP settings, reconnect printer and problem returns. More research and discovered the printer looked to be configured using IPv6 setting. My network is all all IPv4. Dissabled IPv6 in the printer and programmed the printer for static IP IPv4
Problem now is, the printer will NOT print using IPv4 setting (yes....the setting are correct). I can ping the printer just fine but when test pages are sent to the printer I have never had a page sucessfully print. I reran the network installation and directed it to the static IP address, software saw the printer, installed just fine, shows the printer in devices, but can NOT print to it.
Can anyone add insight as to WHY the printer doesn't print using IPv4?
PS....when I was able to print, when the printer warms up just before printing is has a LOUD low pitch growling squeel and after printed makes a loud humming buzz for about 20 to 30 seconds. ??? Normal ???

DIYguy,
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/ .
I hope this helps.

Wireless network connect problem for B209 printer

Install went great until I tried to connect to my network. Got the following (weird) message.
" Your printer has limited connectivity. Your printer address is using IP address 169.254.209.180 which is not compatable with IP address 192.168.1.100 for the PC. Power off your printer and then power on and wait 60 seconds for the printer to acquire an IP address. Then Click retry"
I installed on a XP/SP2 Home system. My other PC's are a XP/SP1 Home system and a Vista/SP1 Home Premium.
What does that message mean and how can I get back on track.
I did suceed in installing using the USB connection.
Any help is appreciated!!!
This question was solved.

What that means is that your printer is not connected to your wireless router.
Since your USB connection is working, follow the directions (Change the HP Photosmart from a USB connection to a
network connection) on page 3 of this.

7310 networked, connected, but doesn't print

I have had this Officejet 7310 for a few years now, and doesn't usually give me problems. i have it hooked up over a wired network, and the computer recognizes the connection. I can see the printer status through the browser window (192.168.1.5), and have reinstalled the software twice. After reinstalling it the first time, I got it to print but the next morning it wasn't working again.
On the printer itself, when I try to get the Instant Share settings, it says "Hp Instant Share is not set up or a network is not available." The Instant Share has been doing this for a few months, and I haven't been able to us ethe "Scan to" feature for a long time, but I can just use the HP Director on the computer na dget it to print, scan, access the memory card, whatever. now it seems that it is not getting the signal. I have items inthe queue, but they won't print. Yesterday, it was giving me errors, like "Failed to connect to printer" and stuff, but i can't get it to do it now.
I tried the Diagnostic Tool , adn that didn't work, I reset the router, that didn't work. I'm running out of ideas.
I'm running on XP, but I think it's printer issues, not computer issues.

OK, I think it IS a computer problem. Your computer is looking for your printer by its IP address. A new router (usually) issues completely different IP addresses, so your computer is probably having a hard time finding it.
Let's start by deleting the printer in Control Panel > Printers. Then re-add the printer in this manner:
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra

Network Connection Failures Affecting Printing and Finder Access

I have a Canon MX320 connected via USB to my iMac running OSX 10.9.1. The latest Canon printer drivers are installed. Everything works fine with this printer and computer combination. The printer is enabled for shaing over the network.
The problem is that occasionally, the iMac seems to disconnect from any other laptop or desktop computer (Macs or PCs) connected through my wireless router. On a mac laptop (also with OSX 10.9.1) I may lose access to shared directories on the iMac, and more often, I lose the ability to print from the laptop. The print queues are unchanged on all Macs, but remote printing over the network fails with the message "printer not connected", even though the only change may have been that the iMac hosting the printer went to sleep.
Sometimes, waking the iMac allows the network print job to go through, but typically not if the print job is initiated before waking the iMac. The printer queue on the laptop will seem fine, with "printer idle", but as soon as the print job is submitted, it briefly reports "looking for printer", and then "printer not connected". Sometimes, everything (iMac and laptop) needs to be rebooted to re-establish a network printing connection through the iMac.
Trying to reset or delete and re-install the printer queue on the laptop does not fix the problem. I am assuming that this is because the remote connection to the server (the iMac) has effectively been interrupted or lost. The iMac may show up in a Finder window on the laptop as a simple PC icon, but with none of the connected directories visible. trying to re-mount the remote directories by connecting to the "server" (the iMac) often fails. It is as if something has happened to break the connection to the iMac, and both Finder and network printing are thereby disabled until everything is rebooted.
Printer error log entries:
E [13/Feb/2014:08:21:43 -0500] Unknown directive BrowseOrder on line 9 of /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
E [13/Feb/2014:08:21:44 -0500] Unknown directive BrowseAllow on line 10 of /private/etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
This problem is intermittent but seems to be happening often after the Mavericks upgrade. One should not have to wake up a remote computer prior to connecting to it, or asking a printer connected to it to print a job.

"Error while Printing" on ethernet network connected iMac.

Have 2 iMacs sharing a Canon MP530, one directly connected, the other via a Linksys ethernet router. Upon a print request, the networked computer locates the MP530 and displays the standard print page, but shortly after clicking Print (or Preview) the "Error while Printing" message is displayed. Under some conditions in the past we have been able to print from the networked machine, but now we're stuck and nothing seems to fix the problem.

Since you have 10.4.10 installed, I'm betting that you were able to print before this update was installed. Anyway, the first thing I would do is delete the printer from the 'client' (the iMac connecting to the shared printer). Open Printer Setup Utility, select the MP530 and delete it. Then click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System. This should remove the Canon MP driver files. Then run the printer driver installer again and once completed, add the printer via the Printer Setup Utility, by clicking Add > Default Browser and select the Shared Printer.
I would also try running a Repair Disk Permissions and if that doesn't help then try using Fixamac's Printer Setup Repair utility.

All in One Printer, losing network connection

I have an HP Photosmart, 5510. It's only about a year old but is now always losing the network connection. I have it set up properly (it has actually worked!) to the wireless router. Most times now when I need to print, it tells me the printer won't communicate with the computer. I have taken it off the network, put it back on, and it says it is all connected. I have printed out the network status page, all is okay, no problems found. Why then am I still unable to print? This is very frustrating.
I have it set up to my Macbook Pro and my iPad. It has previously worked on both devices, but I can't seem to get it back to working order now.
I have looked at the forum here and have seen many many people with the same problem, but most seem to be using a Windows operating system. Any ideas on what to do? I really need to print!!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I feel that perhaps either my post was in haste or in error since I did not see the above solution you provided when I posted this. I do not mind helping you out with router and network problems either way, but since you do not know the name of your router, it will be hard for me to assist with that. I will say, you can always contact your internet service provider and have them check for a firmware update if you have to reset the router that often. If you look on the back of the router you will see little numbers (specifically a model number).
Is that IP address that of the router or the printer?
Either way, I am very happy to hear you were able to get it working again. If you need any more assistance let me know which device has that IP address and at least a model number so I can look up your type of router and let you know if a firmware is available. I'm happy to help!

Connecting HP LaserJet P1102w printer to wireless network

I have been trying to connect my HP LaserJet P1102w printer to my wireless network for a couple days now. I put the disk in and follow the instructions. When I get to the part about plugging in the USB to the desktop computer and turning on the printer, and it says the USB isn't connected when it is (the printer is on). I don't know what to do.

Hi @tripleaaz ,
I can help you with setting up the printer over the wireless network.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to one of the back USB ports on the computer.
The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet.
Is the cable a 2.0 or 3.0 cable? How to determine whether a USB 3.0 device is operating at SuperSpeed?
Is the USB port on the computer 2.0 or 3.0?
Follow these steps in this document to get to the device manager to check for any printer entries.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Then click on Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
In the list click on Universal Serial Bus controllers and look for USB mass storage device and USB printing support, (make sure any other printers are turned off or disconnected) right click and uninstall it. If you have any others with exclamation mark or other devices in the list, delete them also.
Let me know what it showed in the device manager.
Then click on Action, across the top of the window and scan for new hardware.
If the printer wasn't listed at all in the Device Manager, try another USB port on the computer and another USB cable.
Restart the computer and the printer also to see if the printer will be detected.
If the printer still isn't recognized, if you have another computer, connect the printer to it to see if it is recognized.
Just to rule out a USB port on the computer, USB cable or hardware issue with the USB port on the printer.
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Let me know how that goes and what the results were.
Have a nice day!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium printer LOSES NETWORK connection daily

I've had my printer for a few years. I've had no problems with it. Suddenly in the last week it refuses to maintain it's network connection. It is WIRED. It has a STATIC IP. The router is set up to reserve this address for the printer.
I have uninstalled ALL HP software, downloaded the current versions and reinstalled. It works fine. If nothing is printed for a period of time (not sure the interval) it refuses to find the printer.
Powering off the printer will reset it to work fine.
I've checked EVERYTHING.
There is one article about this happening on Windows XP and talks about changing the ink alert but I've tried following those instructions and I canNOT find anything it is talking about.
I verified that printer is using current firmware.
When it loses it's connection to the network the router can't see it either.
HELP. It is most annoying to have people yelling at me all day to fix the printer.
NOTHING has changed on my printer set up.
The only changes to my network recently were installing 3 IP cameras and adding port forwarding for ports 2604, 2605 and 2606. If that were causing an issue I'd expect it to NOT print at all. After reboot it prints fine until it goes a period of time without printing theni t disappears from the network again.

Hello smsdavis, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are running into connectivity issues. I would like to try and help.
I would recommend powering down the computer and printer. Once they are both off, remove the power cord from the wireless router for 60 seconds, and plug it back in. After the router begins broadcasting, power on the printer and the computer.
I would also suggest utilizing this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Unable to connect to HP Officejet Pro 8100 wireless printer: Unsuccesful Network Connection

Unable to set up the wireless on my new printer.
Error message: Unsuccessful Network Connection.
The printer was unable to install over the network.

I connected the USB cable as instructed in the wizard. Does it have something to do with when to disconnect this cable?

Hi,
You dont have to fiddle around with the wireless channel and calling your isp and all, i install these every day to my customers, when i get any issues i follow these three methods, one of them works
HP Printer Wireless Setup
HP Automatic Wireless Configuration or (HP Auto Wireless Connect) HP printer Wireless Setup, includes Auto Wireless Connect technology that allows connecting the printer to the wireless network automatically without having to connect any cables or enter wireless network settings such as wireless password or id. All new HP printers will have this capability during the software installation process. In some cases computers or the network configurations are compatible with HP Auto Wireless Connect. In these cases, an alternate wireless setup method will be offered. To be compatible with HP Auto Wireless Connect, the following conditions must be met: Your computer uses Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OS X 10.5 +. Your computer uses a wireless connection to your network and the operating system is in control of the wireless adapter so that the HP Software can retrieve the computer’s current network settings. Your computer is connected to your 802.11b/g/n wireless router over a 2.4 GHz connection.
NOTE: HP Printers are currently not compatible with 802.11n 5.0 GHz networks.Your computer does not use a static static IP address. Your printer is in HP Auto Wireless Connect mode. The printer will be in this mode for one hour after it is first powered on during installation before it is connected to a network. If your printer has been powered on for more than one hour and the software has not yet tried to connect the printer to your wireless network, you can reset this mode by using the Restore Network Defaults option from the printer control panel. Refer to your printer documentation for how to perform Restore Network Defaults. Other environmental and technical factors may also affect whether HP Auto Wireless Connect is offered.
If HP Auto Wireless Connect is offered during the installation of your printer, it is the recommended setup method. Part of the setup process requires your computer to be temporarily disconnected from your wireless network. During this time you will not have Internet access. Be sure to save any online work and/or downloads before continuing with this setup method. To use this option, install the software for your printer and follow the onscreen instructions. When prompted, select the “Network (Ethernet/Wireless)” connection type and then choose “Yes, send my wireless settings to the printer (recommended)”. That’s it! The HP software will do the rest. If HP Auto Wireless Connect is not offered during the software installation or if it is not successful, you will be guided to use another wireless setup method.WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) – WPS has two modes to connect devices together over a wireless connection. One is called “pushbutton” and the other is called “PIN”. Pushbutton is by far the easiest method. We will describe how to connect using the WPS pushbutton method, but not the PIN method.
For instructions on starting WPS on your printer consult your printer’s manual. However there are some conditions that need to be met in order to use WPS pushbutton mode:
Both your printer and wireless router must support WPS pushbutton mode. Consult your printer and wireless router manuals. The wireless router must have a physical WPS pushbutton available. Your network must use WPA or WPA2 security. Most WPS wireless routers will not connect using the WPS method if WEP or no security is used. Most WPS wireless routers will not connect using the WPS method if you are using the manufacturer’s default for the network name and no security.
To connect your wireless printer to your wireless router using WPS. Start the WPS pushbutton mode on your printer. For instructions on starting WPS on your printer, consult your printer’s manual. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.HP Printer Wireless Setup – The Wireless Setup WizardThe Wireless Setup Wizard, which you run from the printer’s control panel. Make sure you know your network name and your security password (WEP or WPA). On the printer’s control panel, press the Setup button and then select the Network menu. The Wireless Setup Wizard displays a list of wireless networks in the area. Note: The Setup button may appear as a wrench icon. There are differences between product models. Select your wireless network’s name from the list. If you don’t see your wireless network listed, you can enter your network name manually by scrolling to the bottom of the list. If you enter the name manually it must be exact, including upper and lower case characters. Enter your WEP key or WPA passphrase. You must enter the key or passphrase exactly, including upper and lower case characters. Your printer should connect to your wireless network. If it does not connect, you are given the opportunity to print a Wireless Network Test report that will help you find out what may be wrong.USB Setup of WirelessUSB setup of wireless – Some HP wireless printers can use this wireless setup method during the printer software installation. During this process you’ll temporarily connect a USB cable between the computer and the printer. It’s important that you connect and disconnect the cable only when prompted by the software, which will guide you through connecting and configuring your printer’s wireless connection. In some cases the software may automatically find your wireless settings for you.To connect your wireless printer to your wireless router using USB setup of wireless, proceed to Installing Printer Software.

Simple printer for my network (connected to windows pc)

I'm looking for a printer to connect to a windows PC that will let me print through the network from my MacBook and iMac.
I just want a simple and cheap printer, nothing too fancy.
I've got a HP3650 now, but I cant get it too work like this (tried everything from standard osx drivers to cups, foomatic, gutenprint etc..) But nothing seemed to work for me.

I would recommend you purchase a printer that has its own network card (wired or wireless). That way you don't need to share it from Windows, allowing the Mac's to connect directly to the printer using their provided driver.

[Solved]Cannot connect to Windows Share printer over network.

I'm having trouble connecting to a windows printer via Samba/CUPS.
I've loaded the lp module, but I don't know if I need to load the USB or Parallel ports modules, or both or neither, since this is a network print.
My organization has provided some basic instructions for Mac users. Working off of those, I have a setup with the device URI reading
DeviceURI smb://ksong8:(password)@ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal?waitjob=false
For some reason, the printer reports that it cannot connect to the CIFS share, even though it should be configured correctly.
Even more curiously, I'm able to connect to the share manually with
smbclient //ucmprint.ucmerced.edu/ucmglobal -U ksong8
and then entering my password.
Am I missing something terribly obvious here? I have a sample of logs in debug mode, but they looked okay to me (as well as very verbose), so I won't put them here. I have attached my /etc/cups/printers.conf.

As it turns out, either CUPS or Samba does not like having special characters in the password inside of /etc/cups/printers.conf. They should be replaced with "%" and the appropriate ASCII hex code for the symbol.

Printer Mac Wifi network connection

I cant get my Macbook pro to print through house wifi... House desktop is running windows 7. My mac seems unable to connect to my printer plz help thx?

Looking at the specs for this model there is no mention of Bonjour support. So you will need to manually add the printer to the Mac. To do so, you will need to know the IP address the printer is using. You should be able to print a network configuration page from the printer. Or you can refer to the Win7 PC's by opening Devices & Printers, selecting the Kyocera, right-click and select Printer Properties, then the Ports tab. In this list, the IP address will be shown (you may need to widen the Port column to see the full address or press the Configure Port button).
Once you know the IP address, on the Mac you can open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add. Select the IP icon and then enter the IP address of the FS-C5250DN. Change the Protocol to HP Jetdirect-Socket. Leave the Queue blank. Change the name to C5250 and leave the Location blank. If the Use menu does not automatically select the FS-C5250DN printer, click on the Use menu and then "Select printer software". From the Printer Software window, select the FS-C5250DN and click OK to close this window. Then click on Add to complete the printer queue creation. Now see if you can print a document from the Mac to the printer.

Time Cap network connection to laser printer not seen

after giving up on connecting my HP Laser printer (2420dn) via USB to TC (like I used to do), looked on back of 2420 and found network port (with associated netcard blinking lights) so ran a cable from printer port to TC. Turned on printer and attempted to add printer, with no luck.
Will admit that am clueless in network connecting, so need help please from anyone willing to aid me
My iMac is now running 10.8.1 and I have a 3rd gen TC
The 2420 is no longer supported by HP and it seems that Apple is no longer "training" its AppleCare phone support staff in network connectivity so they were also unable to help
Thanks a million!

OK, this should be relatively easy.
The printer might be setup for dhcp on ethernet.. just check the display on the printer.. the IP should be available or it will be printed on the test pages. If the printer has not been setup it might show 192.0.0.192 or some weird IP like that. Grab the printer manual and cycle through the options on the printer to set the IP.. and change it to dhcp. If it shows correct ip like 10.0.1.100 then you are fine.. no need to worry.
All later HP printers have http web access to the network setup.. so open your browser and simply type in the IP address. Tell me if that works. Check the name of the printer.. perhaps change it to something easy.. HP2420 might be nice.
There is no setup for you to do on the TC.. a network printer is providing its own network access.
Then just open the printer preference on the computer and check for network printer.. it should automagically find the HP.
I am sure if you google around you will find some nice explanation with youtube video of the process.
