All in One Printer, losing network connection

I have an HP Photosmart, 5510.  It's only about a year old but is now always losing the network connection.  I have it set up properly (it has actually worked!) to the wireless router.  Most times now when I need to print, it tells me the printer won't communicate with the computer.  I have taken it off the network, put it back on, and it says it is all connected.  I have printed out the network status page, all is okay, no problems found.  Why then am I still unable to print? This is very frustrating. 
I have it set up to my Macbook Pro and my iPad.  It has previously worked on both devices, but I can't seem to get it back to working order now. 
I have looked at the forum here and have seen many many people with the same problem, but most seem to be using a Windows operating system.  Any ideas on what to do?  I really need to print!!
This question was solved.

I feel that perhaps either my post was in haste or in error since I did not see the above solution you provided when I posted this.  I do not mind helping you out with router and network problems either way, but since you do not know the name of your router, it will be hard for me to assist with that.  I will say, you can always contact your internet service provider and have them check for a firmware update if you have to reset the router that often. If you look on the back of the router you will see little numbers (specifically a model number).  
Is that IP address that of the router or the printer?
Either way, I am very happy to hear you were able to get it working again.  If you need any more assistance let me know which device has that IP address and at least a model number so I can look up your type of router and let you know if a firmware is available.  I'm happy to help!
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • HP All in One Printer - No Network Connection

    I recently reset my router, which meant I had to reconfigure all the devices that were using it for internet. However, I still cannot get my HP All in One C4780 Printer on the network. I've tried to uninstall/ reinstall the software. When I get to the wireless network settings, my home network shows up, but keep getting this message:
    "To configure the network settings of the selected device, please connect it temporarily via USB. The device can be disconnected from the USB once the network settings are transferred." 
    Problem is that I AM already linked to the printer with a USB. I click OK and basically get stuck here. 

    TFD,
    I am sorry you are having an issue setting your printer up on the network.
    1.) What operating system are you currently using?
    2.) What exactly did you do to reset your router?

  • Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly

    Hello all,
    My Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly.
    The printer does no show up while searching for it wirelessly where it had previously.
    In the past it would say that the printer (HP Series 7300) was offline.  I would remove the device through the control panel and search again.  A printer would be found as HP Series 7300 (Copy 1) . A "ghost" of the original would remain as an offline device.  I would default to the new printer icon, Copy 1, and it would work.  This happened over the course of a year without any problems.
    Now nothing is working.  The printer can't be found by my network.  I tried downloading drivers, etc. from HP but they either can't download or stop during installation. I don't know if an Windows 8.1 update affected it.
    Although the printer has a built in  network set up option, it has no installation wizard.  I can't find a way to activate the wireless feature/icon.  There is no I.P. address either.
    I feel like a monkey pulling levers for a banana!  I appreciate your help.

    Hey @Kathlanta ,
    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Officejet 7310xi connecting and staying on your network. Going through all of this is making you feel much like this;
    By the end of this I want you feeling more like this;
    Now let's get to the bottom of this and have some fun doing it! (and no, I have not completely adopted the idea that you are a monkey, but for the time being, seems most fitting LOL )
    Ok, so what we are going to start with here is; a full print system uninstall and reinstall and run it through USB to test the printers functionality.
    Here is how you uninstall the whole printer software on 8.1 >> Uninstalling The Printer
    Here is how you install the drivers offline (use the appropriate links to get your steps) >> Installing HP Printer Software for a USB Connection in Windows 8
    You wont need to worry about the wireless right yet until we figure out if the rpinter hardware is ok or not. So sit tight on that portion, I'll get that all back and working later after we figure this stuff out now.
    Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a good one!

  • What is the password for hp psc 1350 all in one printer. want to connect to ipad.

    i have aan all in one printer psc 1350. i want to connect it to ipad in this manner. 
    IPAD to COMPUTER via WIFI
    COMPUTER to PRINTER via USB cable
    so when i try to connect ipad to printer, it requires some username and password. i dont know what to type in there.  
    i am running on a win 7 32 bit

    Sorry, but this will not work.  Your printer has to be directly on you network, not tethered to a computer that is on the network.
    Since your printer is USB only (not a network-able printer), your only solution is to get a new wireless printer.  Get one that supports AirPrint if you want to print from your iPad.

  • My hp officejet 4630 e-All-in-one printer won't connect to the internet

    My printer was working fine. I hadn't used it for a few days. Now, all of a sudden it says it's not connected to the internet. I don't know if it's because it's giving a hardware address for MAC or if it has the wrong IP address. I can't figure out any way to give it the new IP address.
    Got it fixed from the "Doctor!" Thank you, Kent!!!

    OK, that all looks good.  Is the firmware updated on the router?  Have you restarted the router (pull its power plug momentarily)?

  • After upgrading to mavericks how can I connect my HP PSC 2510 photosmart all-in-one printer to my mac?

    After I upgraded my macbook air to mavericks, my HP PSC 2510 photosmart all-in-one printer doesn't connect to my macbook air.  When I try to launch the all-in-one installer from the HP CD that came with the printer, I get a message saying it cannot open because powerPC is not supported.  The HP site has not been helpful in resolving this issue.  My understanding is I first must connect the printer to the wireless system (I use airport extreme) before using airplay for printer software upgrade.

    Your suggestion is helpful, but after some digging on the HP site I found a detailed solution to my problem.  The link is: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01749025&tmp_task=setupCate gory&cc=us&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&product=303770

  • My 8620 HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer IS INCREDIBLY SLOW TO PRINT - TRIED EVERYTHING

    I have an 8620 HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer It is connected via wireless set-up, with excellent signal strength. It is incredibly slow to print anything, especially PDF files that have graphics in them. I have the latest software installed, latest firmware updates. I have even uninstalled and re-installed, the issue is still there. This is an incredibly crap product, so I'd like to get this issue solved ASAP. Thanks,Brian

    For example: printing http://www.nytimes.com/images/2015/07/04/nytfrontpage/scan.pdf Quickly goes 7.03mb/of 7.03mb... then just swirls the "printing" status on the printer's LCD screen, and takes 5 minutes to print...

  • Problem staying connected to my Wireless Network with my HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a

    I just bought a new HP wireless printer replacing my old HP wireless printer which the wireless part worked fine, but the printing died.
    New printer HPPhotosmart e-All-in-One Printer - D110a. I have installed and re-installed the software and drivers but can't get my printer to stay connected to my laptop. I have a Linksys "WRT54GL router but have the printer set with a static IP address. When I run tests on the computer and printer everything says it is fine. But every 30 seconds or so.. my printer goes offline on my computer and is especially noticeable when I am using the HP Solution center because it will keep blinking in the windows bar. I have talked to 4 technicians but no one can figure out what the problem is. They keep saying that it is on my end, but the old printer which was also an HP (Wireless 6150) never had any problems and I have not changed anything in my routing. Is anyone else having this kind of problem and has found a successful solution? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    My computer is running Windows XP SP3
    Currently my router has WEP encryption, but I tried them all just to see if that had anything to do with it. (WEP works best for me since I have some devices which can only use WEP to communicate).
    Thanks.

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.18.1.100 to .149.  Let's use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

    Dear all
    I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem. 
    I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same). 
    Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem. 
    Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
    By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all. 
    I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it. 
    Regards, 
    Esra

  • My PC can't stand the connection to HP Officejet 4630 all-in-one printer

    Hi everybody,
    I got a HP Officejet 4630 all-in-one printer, i manadge to connect it to the network. I select a static IP and i can reach the printer through the browser.
    I can add the printer to the PC, the system can find it after few second od scannig, and than i can print a test page.
    The problem is that if I reboot the PC or the printer, or both, i can' print no more.
    The icon of the printer in the "device and printer panel" is blurred with the green thick, but i can still reach the print through the browser and i can print with the ePrint.
    If I use the "problem solving" service of Windows, it can't find any problem. But i can't still print.
    I don't know what to do, it seems a problem of the computer (i even tryed to turn off the firewall but it doesn't change anything)
    Is there someone that could help me?
    Thank you so much

    Hi @poporni,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Officejet 4630 keeps losing the wireless connection on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this connection issue for you!
    Please, take a look through this guide, Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Tips for troubleshooting wireless connection issues
    The following tips can help you troubleshoot and avoid wireless connectivity issues. You can try these tips separately or in combination to get a successful wireless signal.
    Move the printer and the computer closer to the router, but no closer than 6 ft (1.8 m). Wireless signals can be weaker at greater distances between the printer and the router.
    If you are experiencing an intermittent wireless connection, try restarting your router. Consult your router manufacturer, Internet service provider, or network administrator for instructions on how to restart the router.
    Remove any metal objects between the printer, the computer, and the router. Objects such as refrigerators, microwaves, or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless transmission.
    Move any device that emits radio signals, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, farther away from the printer. Such devices can interfere with wireless signals.
    I would also recommend, our HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues website.
    Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

  • How to print to HP PSC1110 All-In-One Printer connected to WinXP PC?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to us an HP PSC1110 "all-in-one" printer connected to a Windows PC in another room.
    The easy part: The printer shows up in the browsing window, under the correct Windows domain, when I try to add an "other Printer" device.
    The difficult part: When I try to select the printer model from the list of HP printer models provided, it does not show up, although HP PSC 1110 is included in the list of supported printers.
    I also tried the ESP HP-deskjet drivers, both old and new version. But those result in printer errors on the Windows PC.
    BTW: Printing over the net works well from other Windows PCs!
    Can somebody out there who had a similar problem before give me a hint how to set up printing to an HP "all-in-one" over the Windows-Network?
    Thank you,
    Detlef

    Thank you for the detailed information. Maybe I should have added a few screenshots too.
    The suggested procedure probably works for a HP Photosmart Printer. However, the PSC1110 is a "Printer, Scanner, Copier" all-in-one device. Unfortunately, this one does not show up in the menus, although it is supposed to be supported. I assume that only an USB backend is available, but no SMB backend.
    Is this correct? Is there a workaround?
    Thank you for your feedback

  • Hp 8600 All in one printer problem with scanning through wired network its very slow!

    Welcome to the community @Larrypat 
    I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
    Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
    Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
    HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
     HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
    Try power cycling the network devices:
    Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.

  • Cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet

    I cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet... at least I think that is the problem. I have followed all the instructions on HP Print and Scan Doctor as well as Troubleshoot HP Installation Failure. My router is running fine for everything else and I have entered the static address for the printer into the router.  It appears that my printer believes it is connected to my WiFi (Ihave WPS it multiple times), but when I type it's IP address into my IE nothing shows up. My router doesn't appear to see the printer either. I have the latest driver installed on my computer. I suspect this may be a router issue: new router Asus Double 450 Mbps  N Router (Dual band - but it appears my router is using the 2.4Hz band to communicate with WPS). Windows 7 64. 
    Any help is appreciated!

    Hello NRHII,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to connect the Officejet 8600 over a wireless connection. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend power cycling the router, printer and computer:
    1) Turn off your printer
    2) Disconnect the power cord from the back of the router
    3) Restart your computer
    4) Wait less than 60 seconds, plug the power cord back into the router
    5) Turn your printer back on, wait for the computer to turn on
    Is the wireless light blinking on your printer? If so, please reconnect the wireless on your printer by using the wireless setup wizard: (This information is stated here.)
    On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
    Touch the Setup icon ( ).
    Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
    Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
    If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
    Also, as I was typing this post TreeFrog posted some great information to follow.
    Have you followed this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection? If not, follow this document. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
    Have a great day!

  • HP 3520 All-in-One Printer Falls Out of Wireless Network Periodicia​lly

    We have an ongoing problem with our HP 3520 All-in-One Printer. We set it up for wireless printing and it works....for a while. Periodically, we find that it falls off the wireless network and will not print except when plugged into the USB cable. The problem is that my husband has an Ipad Air as his main device which he cannot plug into the printer and needs to have wireless working...and the main reason we bought this printer was to have wireless capability. We *think* that it may be falling off the network when we have a brief power outage or Internet outage, which happens occassionally for a short time. Also, on my laptop, although the wireless set-up to this printer has worked in the past, now I see that I can either connect my laptop to the Internet network OR the printer, but not both at the same time. How strange is that?
    I have printed out the Wireless Network Test Results AND the HP Network Configuration Page, in case that information can be useful as we attempt to troubleshoot this problem.
    Note that the printer is no longer under warranty.
    I have reviewed numerous HP product support pages and feel as if I am running in circles. The help information is confusing to us and we have spent so many hours trying to troubleshoot this issue that my husband has completely given up on that printer and I am doing my best to try to save it since it is only about a year old.
    We appreciate any help you can give us to remedy this ongoing problem.

    Hello there PSCo, Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
    I saw your post about your Deskjet 3520 dropping the network connection. It very well could happen if the power goes out or Internet disconnects. I have found a troubleshooting guide that is geared to help repair the wireless connection disconnecting. It will go further into detail about the causes and things to do to help.
    I hope the steps work for you!
