New HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn wireless installation

This is probably a dumb question, but I cannot find the answer online. I bought this printer because it was advertised as wireless. I want to place it in a closet adjoining the room where I have my desktop and router. I will plug it into the AC outlet there, but I do NOT want to run a cable to my computer or router in he next room. The directions seem to say that I MUST run a cable to the router for a wireless installation. Please clarify. Thanks,

Hi,
As far as my info goes this unit does not have a wireless option, just usb and ethernet (wired network)

HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn ip address change automatic

i have a HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn, there is problem with IP Address, ip address change automatic in this reason i am not able to use the printer, pls solve my problem....

Hi @Naksain,
I see by your post that the printer's IP address changed automatically and you can't use the printer now. I can help you with this.
From the Configuration page, get the printer's IPV4 address, try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Printing a Configuration Page.
If you can still access the printer's Embedded Web Server, then create a new port with the new IPV4 address.
Go to start, devices and printers, right click the printer, go to printer properties, select the ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
Setup a Static IP address for the printer, this way the printer will keep the assigned port.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Disregard the title. Under Windows, go to Solution four: Assign your printer a static IP address.
Just use the IPV4 address already assigned to the printer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN compatible w/ Airport Express?

I am going to be purchasing a new Mac Pro and would like to be able to print wirelessly to a laser printer. I like the HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN, but it is not a wireless printer, per se.
I understand after speaking with an Apple representative that a non-wireless printer (assuming it has the right drivers) can be plugged directly into the Airport Express via USB, which will allow a Mac Pro with an Airport card installed to print to it wirelessly.
So, I have two questions:
1) Does the HP printer mentioned above have the proper drivers (or is otherwise compatible) to work with the Airport Express?
2) Will the configuration I mentioned above work, assuming the printer is compatible with Airport Express?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!
This question was solved.

It should work just fine. Your Mac Pro does not have to be wirelessly connected to your network for it to work, a wired connection will also work (unless the Airport Express will not be on your network but rather just stand-alone).

Quark Xpress shows err "Spooler Subsystem App needs to close" - HP Laserjet Pro P1606DN

Purchased a new HP Laserjet Pro P1606 DN network printer. Installation went smooth on all computers.
When people tried to print from Quark Xpress, the document get spooled and loaded to the print queue and then we get the error "Spooler subsystem app experienced a problem and needs to close"
The recovery has been set to "restart the service" for print spooler.
Users are able to print from other applications.
Just found a thread that stated to disable Advanced Printer settings on the Advanced tab of Properties. Checked but the issue still persists.
Users are on Windows XP and printer was using the smart install from the printer.
Kindly advise if there is something else to tweak in the printer properties or something to tweak in Quark Xpress v6.1.
thanks in advance for the support

Hi Opp1,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to reinstall the printer software.
I will be happy to help you.
The print spooler is part of the Windows operating system and if it doesn't stay running the printer software won't install or print.
You could try the following steps to see if this will resolve the issue.
Normally with spooler problems the first thing to do is to clear the print queue.
Open a Run window (Windows Logo key+R), type cmd and press Enter.
Now type these commands, which are in capitals for clarity:
NET STOP SPOOLER and press Enter
DEL %SYSTEMROOT%\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS\*.* and press Enter
NET START SPOOLER and press Enter
EXIT and press Enter
If you are still having issues with the print spooler stopped then right click on the start button, left click on explore, open the windows folder, open system32 folder, open the spool folder, open the printer's folder, then delete everything on the right window.
Then go back and try and start the print spooler again.
Run a full uninstall of the printer software. Disconnect the USB cable.
To uninstall from CD:
Go start and select computer.
Right click on the CD for the printer and left click open in a new window.
Double click on uninstall.
Uninstall printer from the C Drive.
Go to start, computer, c:, windows, program files or program files x86, HP, printer name. Double click uninstall. Restart the computer.
Check to make sure the print spooler is running.
Ran the installation again. Don't connect the USB cable until prompted.
If the print spooler stops again you will need to contact the computer manufacturer to resolve this issue.
Hope this helps.

HP Laserjet Pro 1102w Wireless (Not working on MacBook Air 10.10)

HP Laserjet Pro 1102w Wireless is not working on my MacBook Air Yosemite (v10.10).
I tried setting it up via this link: (v10.10 Yosemite, Method 3: Wireless Setup Using a USB Connection)
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02847467#N2251
All I get under printers is the USB kind and NOT the Wireless/Bonjour kind.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

Hi @Random_Pelican ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on 10.10. I would like to help you out today.
If the printer has a valid IPv4 address and you still can't add the printer as a Bonjour printer, most likely Multicasting is turned off on the router, since your not able to add the printer as a bonjour device and the other devices won't recognize the printer. Just call the router company and have them turn it on.
If the printer doesn't have a valid IPv4 address please try these steps:
Reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometime the Embedded Web Server won't open if it isn't.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
I will provide the steps for 10.9, which should work the same for 10.10.
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
Laserjet P1102w.
You may follow the steps instead of watching the video.
You have to connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer to install the printer as a USB device first and then configure the wireless network.
Turn the printer on, connect the USB cable and install the Apple Update that should automatically load.
Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
Fill out this information for your network. Status make sure you select Enabled.
Apply the settings.
Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear) Make sure the printer listed beside use: shows the proper printer name and not the default driver, then click on the add button.
Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
Disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer.
Let me know how you make out.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Laserjet Pro P1606dn running on a dell using XP Pro won't hold the default printer setting

Laserjet Pro P1606dn printer
OS is XP Pro
set it as the default printer but that setting keeps changing
How to fix this?
thanks

Yes, you need your own copy of WinXP (I used the one that came with VPC) but I'm afraid I have some good news/bad news to report. The good news is that WinXP does run a bit faster than VPC did on my dual processor G4 - the bad news is that XPs hardware detection DOES NOT - and I could find no way t force it - to recognize any USB or Firewire devices. Because I use Windows primarily to connect to USB GPS devices, this was a real letdown (and would be to users who need to, oh, I don't know, PRINT from Windows).
I'd love to hear from anyone has Windows actually functioning under OpenOSX Wintel - the website only goes as far a getting it to install and running Explorer (which I was able to do). I also had numerous keyboard problems: sometimes Windows would accept no input from the keyboard, sometimes it would reverse the caps lock key (on produced lowercase letters, off all uppercase). It also does not recognize the Apple Mighty Mouse as a two-button mouse. A number of these problems were - somehow - fixed by VPC which I never had a problem with when it came to USB devices (at least it DOES recognize a 'network card' and I can use Internet Explorer - whoopee!).
I'm going to play with this some more before throwing in the towel but I'm not so certain that I'm going to work towards the dual boot solution until I hear that Windows and Windows apps actually function - like being able to print or recognize a USB device.
Just getting Windows to install and run is of little good if it doesn't actually provide simple functionality.
I may copy and paste my original post in the Windows compatibility forum - see if any of those folks have found a working solution,

New HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw network connection impacts DNS server of my ISP

I have deliverd new HP LaserJet Pro M127fw to my client who have 3 PC-s Win7 64bit, one 4 port switch, and one TP-link ISDN modem-router.
I have installed the printer over network and everything is done well. Printer is working in printing/scanning/fax/ and copy.
In few hurs local ISP has called and said that his DNS server is impacted by something from local LAN. After investigating, i have fount that printer is doing impact to DNS of ISP. When i remove LAN cable from printer, everything is fine with network
I have installed new frimware from HP.com. also I have change Admin pass. The new up to date software is installed.
Still have problem, and no solution. For now printer is working with USB connection, but that is not a option.
HP please help!

Hi @ITMračunari ,
I see that you are having issues with the printer connected by a Ethernet cable to the network, the printer is impacting the DNS of ISP. I would like to help.
Turn the IPv6 off on the printer to see if that will help.
Go to Setup, Network Setup, Network Services, IPv6 and turn it off.
This is a Consumer product and has been proving to work with a direct connection to a router.
I noticed in your post that you are also using a switch, which could possible cause other conflicts.
Hope this helps.
Have a nice day!

We have a HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn Printer. We initally put this on our print server. But almost immediately it goes offline. Current settings:
Jam Recovery: Auto Auto Continue: On IO Timeout: 1800 Auto Off: Disabled
Since it was so problematic - we took it off the printer server and are allowing access via IP (not going through our prit server) and it is behaving the same way.
Has anyone else seen this? Any suggestions?

HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn - Toner Cartridge Reject

HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn does not recognize toner is in machine. What can be done - The light showing need for toner cartridge will not go off-printer willnot print

Hello @debadmin1, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing toner issues. I would like to help.
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend this document on 'Install Black Cartridge' Message Displays on the Control Panel or Blinking Toner Light Displays on ...

Trying to Locate Email Address For HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN

I am trying to locate my HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn email address for e-printing. The HP site says to use the two-line screen, but my printer has no screen. Please help.

Hi kacb,
You can locate your ePrint email address in the ePrint Center, or if you haven't created an account yet, you can also locate the email address within the EWS of the printer. To access the EWS, put the printers IP address into a web browser on your PC.

Hi @Lize2 ,
I see that you are having issues installing the printer, the installer stops working. Thanks for providing that detailed information. I would like to help you out today.
It sounds like something is blocking the software from installing, since just the driver are being installed.
Disconnect the USB cable, run the uninstall from the CD.
Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
Do a msconfig to turn off any startup programs that might be interfering with the installation.
Click on Start, in the search box type in Run, enter, then type in Msconfig, click OK.
Click the Services tab. Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box. Click Disable All, and then click OK.
Then click on the Start Up tab at the top. Click on disable all.
Reboot the computer.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus software and Real Time Scanning. Especially if you are using Mcafee.
Then run the installation again. Right click on the install and select Run as Administrator.
Test the printer again.
Then go back into msconfig and Enable the All Microsoft Services and Enable All on the Start Up tab. Turn the Antivirus software back on again and the Real Time Scanning.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!

HP laserjet pro M1536dnf wireless setup to use Air print

Since I trying to print from my new Ipad Air, excuse my newbie networking printing questions!
This what I know so far:
1. I understand my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'not' a WiFi printer.
2. As per HP Support and the Apple Support web sites, my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'Air Print' enabled. I guess a certain firmware update must of incorporated the Air Print capabilty!
3. As per HP Support web site, I currently have the latest firmware installed ( 20130815 ).
Note: On my Config Report, it shows the status for both IPv4 and IPv6 as 'Network Cable Disconnected '. I have Show IP address as enabled.
3. My home setup has the cable internet going from my cable modem to my wireless Linkys E3200 router via coaxial cable. From my router to my computer is wired via the Ethernet cable. My HP Laserjet 1536dnf printer is wired to my computer via USB cable.
Questions:
1. Going from I seen and read on on-line, is correct to say 'I will have to change my Ethernet cable going from the router to the computer and change it to from the router to the printer's Ethernet port?
2. Will I have to remove the USB from Printer to the computer?
3. By removing the USB cable between the printer and the computer, how would my computer communicate to the printer to perform a print job? Unless, I'm guessing, I add another Ethernet cable between the router and my computer's ethernet port!
4. Any other tips, that I might have missed?
This question was solved.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw Installation Issue

Hi, I purchased a new HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw yesterday, and is having difficult time installing the driver. I tried downloading it online and using the CD that came with it. I have also tried to install in two different computers, one is a desktop with Windows 7 Home Premium, the other is a notebook with Windows 8.1. In all instances, it stops at "preparing for installation" stage with an error message that reads "A probelm occured while preparing to install software to your system. Please restart your computer, and run this installation again. If the problem persists, please check the product support web site for your product". I tried to restart the computers many times, and I have also tried to change windows "User Account Control Setting" to the least sensitive level, but still to no avail. I need help! Thanks,lateblue

New color laserjet pro mfp m177 will not scan or copy

Product is new. The problem is that this unit will not scan or copy. I downloaded the latest drivers, but they would not install completely. I also ran thru some trouble shooting guides on the HP website, but still it doesn't work. It tries to make a copy, but it acts like it starts and then stops without completing the function. It's almost like the scanner mechanism is stuck. Anyone ever have this problem with a brand new printer?

Hello , Thanks for posting in the HP Forums, and welcome! I understand you are unable to make a copy or scan on your new HP Color LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP. I'd like to help you with this. Firstly, do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers. If the issue persists, I would suggest download and installing the most recent firmware for your unit. You can download the firmware update utility here:HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Firmware UpdateNote: You will need to connect the printer via USB to update the firmware, as any interruption during the firmware update can cause more issues. If this still does not resolve the issue, please let me know if you are getting some sort of error message on the screen or any blinking lights to indicate what the problem may be. Hope this helps!
