After changing router cannot printer to wireless system

I do not have a long enough lead and did not need one the first time I installed the printer so what is going wrong> I have 64 bit Windows 7 thought I may need a different driver but nothing works because I cannot complete installion

I suspect it is your router causing problems. First, restart the router by pulling its power plug momentarily.
Next, on the printer go to the wireless menu and choose "Restore Defaults".
Finally, reconnect the printer to the router as you would normally.
After all this you will likely have to delete and re-add the printer on your computer.

I cannot print to wireless printer from my Visa PC! I hav...

Haelp! cannot print over wireless connection

I just set up a wireless network in our house, with a 2Wire 1701HG gateway (wifi plus ethernet.). I have a Brother neworkable laser printer, connected to the wireless router via an ethernet cable.
When I have my iBook also conected by ethernet cable, I can print, no problem. But when I am connected by wireless, when I try to print it always says "AppleTalk inactive," even though when I go to the the Network Preference panel it says it is active!
The long and the short of it is I cannot print via wireless connection. What do I need to do to remedy this situation?
Thank you!!!!

This snippet is from the Tiger printing help area. I had similar difficulties and it worked for me:
Delete and recreate the printer queue
1. Open Printer Setup Utility (10.3) or Print Center (10.2).
2. Delete any queues for the printer model you have.
3. Add a new queue, and choose Bonjour (formerly "Rendezvous"). It should locate and show the printer attached to the base station.
Good luck!

HP 200 MFP M276nw not seen in the network after changing router

Printer: LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw
LAN: two PC's (Windows 7) and the printer wired to the router. Other devices connect wireless. Internet service is cable.
I installed this printer when a Linksys E2500 router was in use. The network configuration after installation of the printer was:
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.120
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
IP Configured By: DHCP
I replaced the Linksys router with a Netgear WNDR4500 (N900) router one month ago. Everything worked fine for about two weeks. Suddenly, the jobs sent to the printer started to take a very long time to begin printing, until they stopped printing altogether. The printer did not appear as an attached (wired) device in the router's Web-based interface. Not even the HP printer software or the HP Print and Scan Doctor could find a printer attached.
I unisntalled and reinstalled the printer, but was not successful until I changed the Ethernet cable connecting the printer to the router. The difference is that the old cable is Cat5e and the replacement a Cat6 ??? It is printing and scanning now but the printer is still absent as a wired device, and I am afraid that it will stop working once again.
I noticed that the printer's network configuration after reinstallation is:
IPv4 address: 169.254.230.140
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway: 169.254.230.140
IP Configured By: AUTOIP
Searching the Web, I found an article saying that AUTOIP might be a sign of router or cable problems. My suspicion is that the printer's IP address is changing constantly and that's the reason for the printing delay.
My questions to the experts are: could I assign a manual IP address to the printer so I can add in the router -it provides for doing so-, and how is this done? In the HP Device Toolbox, under IPv4 Configuration, there is a drop-down menu with different options -DHCP, BOOTP, AUTOIP, and Manual- but I don't know if changes are done here, or if it is a more complex undertaking.
Thank you very much.
Cordially,
Miguel Iturralde

I fixed the problem the same day I posted the help request.
I shut everything down -including the cable modem and router- but left the printer on. Went to the printer's panel and changed toe IPv4 configuration from AutoIP to Manual. I already had picked an IP address starting with 192, since I've read that IP's starting with 169 are associated with AutoIP settings. From there, the printer presented valid Subnet Mask addresses, I picked one, as well as a Default Gateway address. Then I shut down the printer.
I turned back on the modem, router, pc's, and printer. The router then showed the printer as an attached device with its newly assigned IP address.
I suspected the cable was not a problem here, so I put back the Cat5e Ethernet cable. What baffles me is why the printer changed to AutoIP because it was not done by any user. Checking the reports printed when the printer was first installed, I see that the IP adress method as DHCP. After putting in the new router, changes consisted in SSID name and password in the wireless devices, and a firmware uodate of the router.
This was learning by trial since I am not a computer expert, but so far, we are to print and scan documents.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to read the post and offered help.

Help - after NG6 update cannot print to HP 4600dn color laser - what can I do?

I was always able to print easily from my Galaxy S4 to my local lan networked HP 4600dn. I still can from my Note 3 which is at NC4 update.
I'm guessing when the Note 3 is forced to update I won't be able to print to the HP 4600dn from it either. Was that ability intentionally removed to force me to use cloud printing or pay for extra apps? I see Google and HP are really pushing that. I'm not crazy about my personal documents going onto the cloud and then back to my printer so that option is a no go for me. I don't see where I can make any changes to the printer compatibility on my S4. Thank you if you can help me fix this.

Cannot print to wireless HP 7280 with Time Capsule

I just put up Time Capsule. My windows and mac machines are able to hook into the wireless router portion with no problem. My main problem is that I cannot print to my HP7280 wireless printer. I had a belkin wireless router that I replaced with the TC. The belkin worked fine with the printer but TC does not. I am able to ping the printer and I have deleted and reinstalled the printer on the Mac with no problems. When I go to print it says that it is unable to connect to the printer and will retry in 30 seconds. I can see the items in the queue but they won't print.
One other point. I have a Canon Mp830 hooked in through USB to the TC and it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

MG3100 Cannon Printer, after changing the black prints misallied, and I have manually aligned??

After changing the black ink cartridge on my Cannon MG3100, when I print word and from the internet the prints are all misaligned and I have manually done the print head alignment, print alignment values, cleaned the nozzles, cleaned elements and clenaed the roller. I even brought the ink cartridge back to Staples thinking it was defective, but it still will not print correctly, does anyone have any answers please? Thank you! DD

Hi DD,
If you have replaced the ink cartridge with a Canon genuine ink cartridge and have already performed both automatic and manual print head alignments as well as cleanings and are still experiencing alignment issues, the printer will require servicing. Please Contact Us for your servicing options.

Can't find wireless printer after changing router

I have recently changed my router to a Virgin media superhub. This has obviously changed my network details. I had 2 wireless printers running on my old network. ?I have managed to get one working as it has a menu screen on it and it was just a matter of searching for the new network. My second printer, a HP 1102w does not have a menu just buttons. I cannot get my Mac to see it in any of the preference options

maybe the features of the usb port is controlled by the routers setup page most routers have some ip address you type into a browser and login to the router to set them up try that
because some routers have usb for external hd some for printers some only for firmware updates (like the Apple TV (which of cause are not routers but have usb connector for the sole purpose of upgrading a crashed firmware))

Changed Router - Can't Setup Wireless printing

Cannot print from wireless laptop with ultra line 9100 em router

I am having the same problem with the new router unable to print from a wireless connected laptop only I have a ultra line 9100 em router from Verizon. I am naive as to terminology and I don't know where to start to change the IP address in the printer(HP series 6110 office jet) I got no help from Verizon and HP referred me back to Verizon. Can anybody help in plain English

Does the Printer ALSO have a Wireless Connection ?
Also are you running a Software based Firewall on either the desktop with the printer or the laptop ?
I have seen instances where the Actiontec TCP/IP Range is different that the previous router and the software firewall detects this as a new network and blocks access unless you give it permission.

Ipad 2 not communicating with my HP3050a printer after changing router?

Hi, hope someone can help. Recently changed broadband provider and now using a different router/network. I've set up my printer using the USB cable to a windows laptop and then enabled WiFi as directed. Now the laptop is working fine but my Ipad seems to see the printer on the network but can't communicate with it even though it is designated a shared device. Does anyone have any ideas? Many thanks

My guess is a firewall in the router. You will need admin access to the router (contact the provider). If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the printer. If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a tad and test the printer again. Repeat as required.

Issues after changing the AP Name on Wireless LAN Controller

I recently changed the AP Name of all the Wireless Access Points in my branch office (which are all associated to the branch office Wireless LAN Controller(s)). After that I noticed that all branch office employees are unable to connect to the employee SSID. The employee SSID uses web authentication and employees are authenticated using Head Office AD via Cisco ACS, both located at the Head Office.
There are other SSID's on the WLC which all work fine, but only employee SSID which uses AD authentication does not work. AD authenticaion is working fine because employee's in HO are successfully able to connect to the employee SSID at HO.
The branch office is connected to the HO via a tunnel link. We noticed that if we restart both the ASA at either ends of the tunnel. The employee SSID starts working again but only temporarily for a day or so... what could be the issue? Can renaming the AP's cause issues? How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

Cannot print to wireless Epson since upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.3

HELP! Never had a problem before with Tiger! I reinstalled both Snow Leopard and printer. It will print a test copy after printer installation, but not from the Mac. I've tried printing a photo and document. Also, I lost my paper presets - can't find the photo paper!

The first thing to do is run Software Update until there is no more software to install. You should be at 10.6.6, and have all the printer updates installed. Once that is done, try resetting the printing system and reinstalling the printer. Then check that your driver is the proper one by seeing what it says in Options & Supplies. If it is not a driver from Epson, see if you can choose it manually there.
