6988 wireless & Win 7 can't connect

I tried installing the 6988 disk on a new Win-64-bit laptop and eventually was told to download the needed driver from the printer via cord, which I did. I can print when corded but not wirelessly. Re-running the set up disk put me in the same loop to download the driver.  Any help would be appreciated.

Don't use software on CD's, it is often outdated.  Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Driver" link at the top of this page.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

  • I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.

    I have an Airport Extreme wireless router & I can not connect my Kindle.  Also, my password will not work when a visitor uses it for a laptop (even a Mac) or any other device that uses the internet.  It says the password is incorrect.  I easily connected a Kindle last year, but I got a new one & now I can not connect wirelessly.  I see no tab to create a guest network.  I do not mind giving my password to visitors, but that does not work.

    If you temporarily disable wireless encryption on your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), can the Kindle connect to the router and gain access to the Internet now? If so, then I would suggest that you reconfigure the AEBSn to use "WPA2 Personal" for the Wireless Security setting, and then, try connecting with the Kindle again.
    As far as establishing a Guest Network, the AEBSn must not be in bridge mode. That is, it should be the only router in your current network and directly conncted to the Internet modem. If it is, then you would find the Guest Networking option on the AirPort > Guest Networking tab:

  • Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

    Switched from DSL to cable modem. My Airport light won't turn green. Keeps blinking orange. No wireless now and can't connect to more than one computer! ?????

    Hmmmm.
    If you reset the AirPort Extreme by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then releasing, the AirPort should be back in default settings which would allow mutliple computers to connect to the LAN ports on the AirPort.
    Power off the cable modem for now and leave it off at least 15 minutes.
    With the AirPort Extreme still powered on, hold in the rest button on the back for 9-10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking abmer light.
    Then, power off the AirPort Extreme.
    Check to make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Extreme.
    After the modem has been powered off for at least 15 minutes, power it up and let it run for 5 minutes by itself.
    Now, power up the AirPort Exteme and let it run for 2-3 minutes
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Express
    Click on the AirPort Exteme, then click Continue to follow the guided setup tp configure the AirPort Extreme.  You can use the same wireless network name, password, etc that you used before, or set up a new name and password, etc.

  • D-Link wireless + Cable Internet:: can't connect via AirPort

    Just got my service changed from DSL to Cable and can't connect via wireless (but can with an Ethernet cable). Have tried the Wi Router settings to no avail. Any ideas? I think I might not be doing some setting in the comp correctly. Please help. Router is D-Link DIR-625.

    Did you open Airport and see if you see the wireless router? If you can see it, you can select it and then make sure it is set up properly in networks in the system prefs.

  • Can See Wireless Network, But Can't Connect

    I am able to see the linksys wireless network under my wireless options, but when I try to connect, it says there was an error joining the network. I have been able to connect before with no problem. Two other wireless enabled computers in my house are able to connect to the network, but not mine. If I plug into the ethernet port on the wireless router, I can get internet. I've already tried the instructions from the "Getting Association (signal strength), but no Internet access" article, but nothing changed. Also I've upgraded the firmware and restarted both the router and my computer, but nothing helped. I don't know of anything that I did to my computer from the day it was working to the day to the day it stop working. I have Mac OS 10.4 fyi. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Is it my computer that is the problem or the router?

    After you upgrade the firmware in the router, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Also, in the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall, and see it this helps.

  • Win XP can't connect via SMB to Leopard

    Unanswered question from several weeks ago. Time to cast the line in again...
    I upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.5, and now the PC is unable to connect to the Mac via SMB for file sharing. I can see it in the Network Neighborhood, or specify the share (\\leopard1\useracct) explicitly. It doesn't go as far as authentication; just hangs until timeout. I still have a Panther machine too, and PC connecting to Panther works just like before. I can connect
    ++ Panther to Leopard, Leopard to Panther,
    ++ PC to Panther, Panther to PC, and even
    ++ Leopard to PC,
    but not PC to Leopard.
    I've tried adjusting the workgroup, but it doesn't stick when I do. (See below for update.)
    I can walk over to the Mac and connect to the Win XP machine to transfer files. I cannot sit at the Win XP machine and connect to Leopard to transfer files.
    I've read the manuals over and over. I enabled SMB under System Preferences -> Sharing -> Options, and I've tried two different accounts, one of which is admin. I'm very tenacious and I know my way around both computers, but I've really tried everything three times and I'm out of ideas. It's definitely not working the way the manuals say; in fact, if my Leopard machine would just read the manuals, it'd be working by now.
    previous thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1736333
    I found out why I had been unable to change the workgroup and have it stick:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307249
    Now that all 3 computers are in the same workgroup, I can see the Leopard mac from the PC's Network Neighborhood, but I still can't connect to it.
    Thanks,
    Charley

    Hi again Michael.
    I found this is a very common issue with Mac OS X 10.5 that a lot of people are reporting. Check out the thread at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1195690&tstart=0 . All kinds of people are reporting similar problems.

  • Computer's can connect to wireless but I can't connect with e-book and i-pod

    I have a wrt54g I can connect with 3 laptops and 1 desktop but my ebook and ipod connects once and a blue moon please help

    Whats the Wireless settings you have setup on your Router (SSID, Channel, Security Mode)? Are you getting any error message when you are trying to connect to your wireless network?
    If you have setup WEP security on your Router, when you are trying to connect to your wireless network input the "$" sign before the WEP key and then click on connect and then check if you are able to go online or not.

  • Airport is connected to my wireless network, but can't connect to internet

    I'm a first time mac user. Earlier today our power went out, and when it came back on, our wireless router reset. We currently have 4 computers that we connect to the internet; 2 of them are Macs, 2 of them are PCS. Both of the PCs are connected to the internet with no problems, but both of the macs refuse. I've run diagnostics on both computers, and it says it can't find an error. I've contacted my provider, and my internet service is not the problem.
    It keeps saying that AirPort is connected to the wireless router (my wireless router), but cannot connect to the internet. I've been trying to fix this for over 3 hours now. I work nights, and need my computers for work, so as it sands i'm currently losing money over this Can anyone help please?

    Welcome!
    Can you clarify what model iMacs you have? This forum is for the older G4 iMAcs with the articulated monitor and a hemispherical base. However, due to poor forum labeling, many people with newer iMacs are lured to this area. Reset procedures may vary with model so it's important we know which variant you have. Use "About the Mac" in the Apple menu to find your processor type--that should be enough for now.
    Once you you figure out the processor type, append it to the equipment info in you profile, Example: it now says "iMac." If you find yours has a G5 processor, change it to read "iMac G5." That will save you a lot of keystrokes down the road.

  • MacBook can see wireless network, but can't connect; no error message

    This one has got me stumped: my father has a new D-Link wireless router. His Windows laptop connects to it just fine, but neither of our Apple laptops (an old PowerBook G4 and a brand new MacBook Pro) will connect to it. The network does appear in the Airport menu, but when I select it, nothing happens. It pauses for a second, and then I'm left disconnected from all wireless networks. No error message, no connection, no check appears next to the network's name. No security of any kind is enabled, and I've turned off "n" support on the router. I'm at a loss, and can't seem to find anyone with similar problems. Any ideas?
    The console gives me the following:

  • AE wireless works- but can't connect to configure

    I'm trying to configure my AE over wireless. It will allow me to connect to it, and I can browse the internet without a problem. But when I try to connect to it in the Airport Utility (which does find it) it pops up a dialog that says "Detecting wireless devices" which last a lot longer than it should, then ends up with an error dialog "Unable to connect to wireless device, error -4".
    I've tried hard and soft resets with no effect. What's going on here?

    I've tried hard and soft resets with no effect. What's going on here?
    A "hard reset" will not always clear out all the stored configuration settings and get the AirPort Express back to original factory defaults.
    Suggest that you try a Factory Default Reset as follows:
    o Power down the AirPort Express for 5-10 minutes
    o Hold in the reset button and keep holding it in while you now plug the Express back in to power
    o Keep holding the reset button until the amber light begins to blink more quickly and hold another 3-4 seconds when you see this
    o Release the reset button and the AirPort Express will restart in 40-45 seconds with a slow blinking amber light
    If you try the Factory Default Reset a few times without success, it is unfortunately likely that the firmware has become corrupted and the device will need to be replaced.

  • How can I connect my macbook pro to printers on my windows wireless network, How can I connect my macbook pro to printers on my windows wireless network

    My Macbook Pro running lion 10.7.2 is connected to my wifi network, which also has a PC, an hp photosmart and an hp laserjet connected to a server.
    I have been able to set up printing from my mac to the photosmart by entering the ip address, although it can be tempremental.
    The problem is that I cannot even find the HP Laserjet on the network at all and cannot link up to it to print.
    Any ideas??

    Look in the printer manual for instructions.

  • AE detects my wireless network but can't connect to the Internet

    I have a DELL PC with a Linksys WRT54G router. I recently had an Airport Express installed into my Mac Mini so that I could access the Internet wireless. Although Airport Express detected my existing wireless network, I am having problems connecting to the Internet. I read several of the helpful articles in this discussion forum and using the information I learned I was able to successfully connect. But then I accidentally tampered with the settings on my Mac Mini and now for the life of me I don't recall what I did to get back onto the Internet?
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    1. unplug the DSL
    Modem and router
    2. plug the router back in and wait for the display
    lights to indicate ready.
    3. plug in the dsl modem and wait for it to display
    ready.
    4. turn on the computer that is hardwired to the dsl
    modem and router
    5. then try to get online thru my Mac OS.
    Is this correct? Or should I do something else?
    Perhaps disconnect everything including the computer
    and attached ethernet cables?
    Close, but you need to reverse the power-on order
    that you described for the modem and router, as
    follows:
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL modem, Internet Router, &
    computer(s). (If possible, leave the modem off
    overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5
    minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)
    You don't need to disconnect any of the cables.
    Thanks so much for your help. Everything you suggested was right on. I am not running both my desktop PC and MAC wirelessly.

  • IPod touch recognizes Wireless Router, But Can't Connect To Internet.

    Hello everyone,
    My iPod Touch 3rd Gen 3.1.2 recognizes the router and connects to it, but no WiFi meter is showing (the one at the top left corner near "iPod")
    15 minutes after I had been using the internet on my iPod touch 2G, I find that my iPod's WiFi connection was disconnected. At first I thought this was a router/modem problem, but I am able to use WiFi through all my computers at home. I tried forgetting the network, resetting my router, and resetting the network settings, but the results are the same.
    When I go to Settings>Wi-Fi>[more router options] , the iPod does not show any IP address or subnet mask or router info. But there is a checkmark right next to my router's name.
    When I try going to Safari, it gives me a "cannot open page" error: "Operation could not be completed. Invalid argument."
    I am using a Linksys WRT310N under WPA2 encryption.
    Please help!
    Thank you

    Nevermind. For some odd reason, it decides to work again a couple of hours later. Really weird, but at least it's working fine now.

    Thanks for replying. The plan you have it would be an additional charge to add the hotspot feature. It's not free with the Nationwide plan. You would need to add the feature online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon
