Welcome to the HP Forums jdhs69,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print wirelessly since upgrading to Windows 8.1.
I can help you with this issue.
Is this the Photosmart 5525? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
Printing a Network Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the  router, computer and printer.
Try printing again.
If you are still unable to print, then run the add printer wizard.
From the start up screen, (tiles menu) type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printer,
click on add a printer.
Test the printer.
If the issue persists then uninstall the printer software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
I would disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software to see if that is causing the issue. How To Change Windows 8′s Startup Programs. Click on the start up tab disable all the programs running.
Then download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Test the printer.
Then you will need to go back in and enable the start up programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • What's the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?

    Hello!!
    What’s the difference between HP Wireless G Print Server and HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit?
    I found two things as follows.
    1. MAC support
    2. USB dongle
    Is there anything else?

    Now I’m clear!!
    But there are descriptions for each on your home page over view tab. Due to this forum restriction; I cannot put the URL here.
    They say for each as follows.
    HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit --- Retain full all-in-one wireless functionality: print, fax from your PC, scan, and access photo memory cards access and PC status
    HP Wireless G Print Server --- Get the same functionality with your all-in-one: printing, scanning, photo memory card access, PC faxing, and printer statusSo I got confusion, that’s why I did not get the difference for them.
    And I found wrong description on your HP support document page. I recommend that you correct it, because it put consumer into confusion and break to buy this product.
    The title is “HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit - Setting up the HP Printer with the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit in Windows .”
    The wrong description is “NOTE:  You must turn on the computer with the computer adapter in order to print to the wireless product” at last line of “Step two: Configure other computers to use the printer. “
    You can erase this line!!

  • How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)

    How can I print to my HP OfficeJet 6500 Wireless Printer from my iPhone 4S which used to work (on prior iPhones) before AirPrint printers were even available? (running Mac Lion OS, all software and HP sw updates are all performed)
    I don't get it, I read one post about why would we have to buy an AirPrint Printer when we have used the "print to a wifi printer" just fine in the past?  Yes I feel that's exactly what's happening to me now too. I want to print from my iPhone and iPad to my WiFi Printer which is also now connected to my Airport Express WiFi network just fine. No problems.

    Very glad you added that bit of information because I see different problems similar to this.  I want to share with them what you did and hopefully you not only fixed your specific problem but you can lend some more advice to others with problems like this. Thanks!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • I upgraded my iphone to IOS 6.1.2 through itunes and lost some photos from photos album and SMS ( in fact everything went back to how it was on my last back up which was few weeks ago). How can I recover them? Thank you ...

    I upgraded my iphone to OS 6.1.2 through itune and lost some photos from photos album and SMS ( In fact everything went back to how it was on my last back up few weeks ago). Do you know how I can recover them? Thank you.

    Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...
    To minimise loss... Connect to iTunes on the computer you Usually Sync with and Restore from the most recent Backup...

  • HP C6180 not responding with wireless print from Mac OS X 10.9

    My Printer does not work with wireless printing from my Macbook Air OS X 10.9
    I tried all the normal stuff I can find.
    The text that is there is: The Printer is not responding.

    Hi XavierMaassen,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C6180 that you're having issues using in Mac 10.9. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but I will certainly do my best to assist you.
    I'm wondering how you installed the printer. If you had it installed prior to upgrading to 10.9 that could be part of the problem. There are currently no HP drivers available for this printer for 10.9, so you need to uninstall the HP software and install the printer via the Apple updates. Once you do that you should be able to print normally and scan using 3 different methods.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • HP 7280 all-in-one says ink cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it copies fine.

    Replaced 2 ink cartridges in hp 7280 but still says both cartridges are empty and will not print from PC, but it will copy fine.  When I try to print I get a error box that says "Ink cartridges empty - replace black and yellow ink cartridges to continue."  They are brand new - just bought them - expiration date Sep 2015.  Have tried rebooting and disconnecting and reconnecting everything.  Same error, but it still will do color copies fine - all cartridges are working.  Help?! 

    Hi tfmartin,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C7280 that you are unable to print to from your computer. I'm sorry to hear about this, but I will certainly do my best to assist you in resolving this issue.
    Before I can offer any suggestions I do need to know which version of Windows or Mac that you're using and how the printer is connected (wireless or USB). Once I have that information I should be able to help you better. In the meantime, if you're using Windows, please download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can assist with the issue at hand
    Hope to hear back from you soon! Have a great day

  • I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost ALL of my apps even though during the process they were backed up to my Itunes. Can I get them back?

    I upgraded to iOS 5 and lost ALL of my apps even though they were backed up to Itunes during the process.  Whenever I plug my ipad into my computer the apps that appear in Itunes are from my ipod touch.  How can I get my apps back without purchasing them again?

    On your iPad and iPod touch tap Settings > Store
    Make sure Music is switched On under Automatic Downloads.
    Now restart your iPad and your iPod touch.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button down until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    You can re download iTunes purchases for free if necessary >  Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    Yosemite does not recognize HP printer after upgrade.  I can print from my iPhone, but not my 13" Macbook Air (2013)
    Are others having the same problems?

    Try this. Worked for me.
    - turn off your router
    - turn off you Mac's after removing all available printers
    - turn off all iDevices
    - do a factory reset of your printer remove all cables min. 30 sec.
    - turn on your router first
    - ran the network set up wizard
    - give your printer also a new name like "DeskJet 2015"
       Something which you don't have used before.
    - turn on your Mac's and add your printer
    - turn on your iDevices at least.
    Should work after these steps.
    It worked for me including all iDevices.
    iOS and Yosemite

    2. one get a printing app from app store which support the printer
    2-½ one get the free software from netgear called netgear genie which will make the computer display all printes it's know act as AirPrint printers
    no other things in the known universe will make printing possible

  • Recently did an upgrade and lost all my contacts

    recently did an upgrade and lost all my contacts

    Try to check if iTunes made a backup before upgrading the phone. You can check via iTunes or use iPhone Backup Extractor. If there is, you can restore from backup to get your contacts back or simply extract them using the iPhone Backup Extractor. It's worth a try, good luck!

  • Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

    Tried to do upgrade and lost everything but contacts. Phone wont sync with computer. Do I need to register it as a new iphone?

    You should copy everything from your old computer to your new one, then sync.
    The iphone will sync with one computer at a time.  Syncing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

    Every time Firefox opened

    Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
    The first is labeled "Printer",
    The second is "Presets".
    The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
    Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.
