Networked printer no longer recognized??

I've had the same setup working perfectly for months, I haven't changed a thing.
My internet connection is maintained wirelessly through the airport extreme, to my cable modem, and works fine. Also, I have a printer and an external hard drive connected to my airport extreme through a USB hub plugged directly into the back of it. The last week or so I've been unable to access my printer. I know it is a network issue because I can take the USB cable out of the airport and plug in directly to my macbook and it prints fine, but I can still access my hard drive wirelessly and I'm still connected to the internet. Why would my printer just randomly stop working over the network but everything else that is connected the same way is fully functional??
I've tried power cycling all devices, twice. Running out of patience. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

check the _*Printer Troubleshooting Guide*_ for a possible solution.

  • Network printer no longer printing double sided

    I've recently set up my airport extreme (AE) base station in bridge mode with my Verizon fios wireless router. I also have an airport express connected to a Brother laser printer via USB. The AE is getting ip addresses from the Verizon router, and I have not yet turned off any wireless signals, so both routers are sending out a signal. In this configuration, I can still send print jobs to my laser printer fine, but the printer no longer prints double sided even when the print settings are set to do so. I've also noticed that I can no longer see the printer status when I open up the specific printer app. for that printer. All of this was possible over my wireless network when I was running a simple cable modem to the AE and the AE was the only router in the house. Could this problem be caused by having two wireless antennas running at the same time or does this sound like another problem?

    To try... set a different printer as the default, and have the network printer as non-default selection

  • HP8450 Printer No Longer Recognized by Windows

    Recently my PC became badly infected. Malwarebytes Antimalware and Spybot Search and Destroy now declare my PC virus free, but I have one artifact of the infection. Control panel as well as my software no longer sees my HP8450 printer. This problem first appeared when I was infected, this did not occur during or after cleaning. HP's online troubleshooter does not solve the problem. Further, I am unable to reinstall the printer; I have the original install CD and when prompted, Windows install wizard doesn't recognize the files on the CD. Trying a version of the software downloaded from HP's website, the install sees the device but cannot complete the install. I can't uninstall the printer because Control Panel doesn't recognize it as being installed. The printer is connected via USB cable and all of my other USB devices (mouse, keyboard, external hard drive) all work as they should. The printer was fully operational before the virus infections (Virtumonde.prx and Win32.TDSS.rtk).
    I'm running XP SP2 on a Pentium 4 2.40Ghz CPU with 2GB RAM. I have cable internet, so I run a McAfee firewall.

    I had the same problem after my computer got infected (And I am running McAfee with the firewall!).  The problem isn't your print driver, the problem is in your Windows operating system.  Try to reload or repair Windows from your backup disk (hope you have one).  It took three tries before i finally got the trojan eliminated and could reload Windows.

  • Printer no longer recognized by Extreme Base Station

    I have had my Epson Stylus Photo 900 connected to the base station and working for some time. I tried printing to it today and nothing happened. I ran the Printer Setup Utility and I get only two options: one to set up browser and one to set up IP printer, no option to choose Rendezvous and add the printer. If I attach the printer to my iMac I can run Epson utilities on it but can't print to it. I downloaded and reinstalled the printer driver and ran fix permission in the Disk utility. Appreciate your help. Thanks Rich

  • HP 2200 Printer no longer recognized (10.7)?

    I got a new MacBook Pro with 10.7 (updated to 10.7.3 now).  I'm running the printer through Airport Express's USB.
    It was working fine, but at some point, I'd get the interminable "Finding printer".  I could be misremembering though,
    and maybe it never worked with 10.7, though I think it did!
    (I don't have that problem with a Macbook Pro running 10.6).
    So, I tried to deselect the printer driver and re-select.  I stupidly deleted the driver (or perhaps just removed it from the Print & Scan window? and now I can't
    get it back again (via the HP site).   The HP site maintains that the driver comes with 10.6 and I assume the same
    works with 10.7 -- is this a correct assumption.
    What are my options?  Do I have to reinstall something in 10.7 and if so, how do it?  10.7 didn't come on a disk.
    Is there a driver on the HP site that'll work that I've somehow overlooked?
    Looking for a relatively painless solution if there is one.
    Thanks for your time & help!

  • Photosmart 7520 on wireless network no longer recognized by laptop

    The printer was fully functional on my wireless network, accessible by phone, tablet & laptop. Now it is not recognized by the laptop but still usable by other devices through the wireless network. The laptop is Windows 7 professional. The laptop and printer are both on the same (only) wireless network. I uninstalled the printer and driver from the laptop, temporarily disabled Norton Antivirus, then tried to install a new driver but installation failed. I repeated the entire process again, with the same results. What else should I try? 

    Hi @SaMi4,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Photosmart 7520 that is on a wireless network, is no longer recognized by your laptop. I am sorry to hear about this, but I am happy to help!
    I would recommend this printing guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
    You would also benefit from this guide, Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. As this will help you maintain the connection.
    Hope this helps, and have a wonderful day!

  • One original Intro cartridge no longer recognized by HP Officejet 6500a Plus printer

    The original "Intro" Magenta cartridge in my HP 6500a Plus is no longer recognized by the printer.
    The other "Intro" color cartridges (cyan and yellow) have a little ink left, and are recognized, along with a non-Intro HP black cartridge.
    I didn't use this printer a lot. What would cause just one cartridge to no longer be recognized by the printer?
    I can't use this printer at all now because of this. Not even for black-only printing... Not even for scanning!
    Edit:
    More info: The Magenta cartridge has an expiry of 2013/08, and the other 2 color cartridges have an expiry of 2013/09.
    Hmm.. are these cartridges designed to self-destruct about 6 months after expiry, even if they have some useable ink left in them?
    In a month or so, will the other 2 quit being recognized as well?
    I get:
    Ink System has failed (0xc19a0020)
    Ink System has failed (0xc19a0022)
    See attached pics for cartridge specific messages:
    I've done Solution one: Reset the printer.
    Done Solution two: Remove, clean, and reinstall the printhead.
    Done Solution three: Reset the product (looks like the first solution).
    I'm going to but a new Magenta cartridge and see if the problem goes away..

    I just discovered the Embedded Web Server on my E710n-z printer. Very cool!
    But it shows conflicting information from what the LCD panel shows:
    (it shows the printer head as damaged)
    And here, it recognizes the Magenta cartridge as empty:
    I only printed 132 pages in the lifetime of this printer and the head is gone?

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

  • C7280 Printer no longer sees my network

    I was printing just fine from my C7280 printer this morning - but as of this afternoon the printer no longer see's my router.  When I go to Network and do the Wireless Setup Wizard it will see routers in neighboring apartments, and even my iPhone, but doesn't see my main router that it's always been connected to.  I've rebooted the printer, re-started the router, upgraded the firmware in the router, made sure I was running the latest HP drivers on my laptop, and I even plugged on through USB and the printer worked fine.  I also reset the printer by holding down the #3, then #6, and finally #9 as I started it up.  In every case - the printer still can't see my router.  Any thoughts?
    The router is an Airport Extreme running the latest firmware.  All of my other devices still see the router just fine.
    Also - I printed a network report from the printer.  It states the Radio On - Passed, Radio Working - Passed, Network Name (SSID) Found - Fail.
    Thanks,
    Don

    OK, on the front of the printer, in the Network menu, Restore Network Defaults.  Try again.
    If that does not work, make sure that your Airport is:
    1. Broadcasting its SSID.
    2. Set to use WPA encryption.
    3. Have 802.11g mode enabled (along with others is fine).

  • My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

    My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update.  Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
    When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways. 
    It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since.  I've reset my printers, turned off both computers.  Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working.  Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now.  Any help would be hugely appreciated.
    THanks in advance.

    Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
    If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).

  • My G5 recently began to act strange. I could no longer print ton any printer. all of my Adobe software would crash on startup as did Safari. tried to reload the printer software and was denied as I was no longer recognized as the administrator. any fixes?

    my G5 recently began to act strange. I could no longer print to any printer and all of my Adobe software and Safari would crash on startup.  attempted to re-install my printer software, but was denied as the computer no longer recognized me as the administrator even though i am the only account on the computer.  Performed a system install (w/ bakup of previous), this seemed to work for about two days and the problem has returned with other software (Excel) crashing on startup.  does anyone have any suggestions?  do i need to erase the harddrive and start over?

    I suggest you backup you important data!
    I suspect the harddrive is going bad.
    Run disk utility. verify disk & verify permissions. 
    Run hardware diagnostics. 
    I not sure of a good way of telling if the harddrive is going bad.  There is software to test harddrive.  Don't know of free stuff for mac.
    Considerng that the hd is 7 plus years old this isn't a surprise. 
    Suggest replacing hd.
    If your not up to that, get an external hd.
    You need an external Firewire drive to boot a PowerPC Mac computer [ a few G5's will boot from USB ].
    I recommend you do a google search on any external harddrive you are looking at.
    I bought a low cost external drive enclosure. When I started having trouble with it, I did a google search and found a lot of complaints about the drive enclosure. I ended up buying a new drive enclosure. On my second go around, I decided to buy a drive enclosure with a good history of working with Macs. The chip set seems to be the key ingredient. The Oxford line of chips seems to be good. I got the Oxford 911.
    Has everything interface:
    FireWire 800/400 + USB2, + eSATA 'Quad Interface'
    save a little money interface:
    FireWire 400 + USB 2.0
    This web page lists both external harddrive types. You may need to scroll to the right to see both.

    Hello Pattee,
    The following article has a number of troubleshooting steps that may help get your Printer working again.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Troubleshoot a network printer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11070
    Make sure you’re on the same network
    Your computer might not be able to find a printer that’s on another local network.
    To see if the printer you want to use is on the same network as your computer, try adding it again. If the printer doesn’t appear in the list of available printers, your computer might be on a different network now.
    If you know the printer’s IP address (for example, 192.168.1.100), you can try adding it as an IP printer. For instructions, see this help topic:Set up an IP printer
    Add your printer again
    Try to add your printer again in Print & Scan preferences. If you can print to the newly added printer queue, delete the old printer queue.
    If you can’t add the printer because it doesn’t appear in the list of available printers, it may be turned off, or your computer may be on another network now. if the printer was shared by another user, the user may have stopped sharing it, or the user’s computer may be offline. If you don’t manage the printer, ask the person who does for help.
    Edit your list of printers
    Set up a printer
    Reset the printing system
    If none of the previous solutions work, the printing system may be corrupted and need to be reset. This removes all printers from your list of printers, deletes information about completed print jobs, and deletes any printer presets.
    Reset the printing system
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • Installing network printer and downloaded print drivers aren't recognized.

    I downloaded drivers for the Canon ImagePRESS C1 and they seem to install just fine. However, when I install the network printer the driver is not listed anywhere. Even when I choose "Other" and point to the device folder the files are greyed out, and I can't select the driver. I've tried updates and resetting the print system an still no success. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    drh08

    There are three printer options (at least here in Oz there is) available for the imagePRESS C1. There is the internal Canon printer board and two external print controllers - the imagePASS-T1 and the imagePRESS-Q1, which is what we have connected to our C1. Each of these print controllers have different drivers so you need to determine which one you have first. If you are not sure, then check with someone or have a look at the C1. If it has a white metal box hanging on the back of the copier with some network cables, then you have the T1. If there is a PC case connected to the copier then you have the Q1. If the network cable connects from the wall straight to a network card on the back left side of the machine, then you have the internal Canon board.
    For the two imagePASS controllers, you can download the driver from the print controller, by opening its internal web page (type the copiers IP address into your web browser to access). These queues for these drivers are added via IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket and you should find the driver by searching for either T1 or C1 in the Print using menu.
    If you have the Canon board, then how you create the printer queue depends on which driver you have downloaded. Could you tell me the driver name and version so I can explain the method of adding the printer queue.

  • AIO Remote wont recognize my network printer deskjet 3050

    AIO remote app (IOS) did not recognize my network printer (Deskjet 3050), other apps (printer pro lite) did recognize the printer flawlessly, both the printer and the iphone are in the same network, I can print from my PC and my mac but not from AIO remote app (not even recognize the printer).
    Can you help me?

    Hello MrCrysis,
    With the Printer Pro Lite app working to printer, this is excellent to hear. Although this is not an HP app. So to explain as to why the AiO Remote app is not recognizing your printer, and not being able to scan. Your printer does not have AirPrint capabilities according to the 'HP Deskjet 3050 (J610) and 3050A (J611) All-in-One Printer Series Product Specifications'. AirPrint is a requirement for the HP AiO Remote app to work, and because the printer does not have AirPrint the app can not see the printer.

  • HP LaserJet - network printer problem FIXED

    Hi,
    I'm aware this may not work for all, but I've sorted my own problems, which I suspect are common to many who still have a really solid HP (or other) network printer that was no longer available since Snow Leopard did away with Apple Talk.
    The answer is to do a cold reset on your printer, give it a new IP address, find this IP by printing a configuration page and enter this IP when you go to set up a new printer. In my case, it automatically found the correct drivers. The drivers were never the issue with vanishing printers; it was all about the network IP address. A quick search online and you will find how to do the cold reset and config page. For my 2100TN, it was a case of holding down the cancel button when powering up the printer until the lights flashed for a new IP, and to print, press both buttons.
    Hope this helps.

    Problem solved.
    I upgraded the printer's firmware which resolved the issue.
    Thanks anyway! :-)
