B209a printer causes my internet to disconnect

I have a photosmart plus all-in-one b209a printer. I down loaded the drivers and running through the wireless stetup, My computer connects wirelessly to the printer but is no longer connected to the internet. The only way I have been able to connect my computer wirelessly back up too the internet is to turn the printer off and restart the router? As long as my printer is on I can not connect too the internet...

Make and model of router? OS of computer? Verify your router is on the latest firmware as this has caused issues like this in the past. Now try here.
Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

How can I print while the internet is disconnected?

I have Pro 8600.
How can I print while the internet is disconnected for some reason?
My internet router is unstable recently.
thanks.

Hi,
Your printer has these:
USB 2.0-compliant high speed
USB 2.0 high-speed host port
Wireless 802.11b/g/n*
Wired 802.3 network (Ethernet)
You can use USB or Ethernet connection to print. I always define USB as second printer and I can print direct.
Regards.

Skype causes wireless internet to disconnect

Hey guys, so my Skype over the last 3 or 4 days has been disconnecting me from the internet on my laptop when I've been in a call for almost exactly 25 minutes every time. I know Skype to be the problem because I never get disconnected when it is closed or when I'm not in a call with someone.
I researched the problem quite a bit over the past 2 days and have applied the "fixes" I agree with. Those are: Unticking the Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections box
Unticking enable uPnP
Temporarily disabling my AVG Antivirus software
Uninstalling UTor-rent (This site doesn't like that word for some reason)
System Restoring my laptop to before the disconnections started
Restarting my laptop (of course)
This issue is really becoming a pain for a competitive gamer such as myself when I really need Skype to communicate with my teammates.
Any help would be appreciated and I will answer any questions you might need an answer to as quickly as I can.

Hi! You mention this was approx half a year ago, have you since then tried any newer versions of Skype? If so do they behave the same way? This seem to be an issue with one spesific network, does skype seem to interfere with other networks? Is this occuring even when Skype is not running? Capreolus,The answers in order:Yes, have tried latest version which is why I am searching for an answer. To clarify, the issue started about 6 months ago but has not gone away regardless of updates. I only tried uninstalling Skype as a solution when I stumbled on a solution to another issue on another machine with other software that jogged my memory that this occurred after I installed Skype so I tried uninstalling as a fix. Of course, that defeats the prupose of having Skype.No, it only seems to be this one netowrk but what ever Skype does, no one else seems to have connection issues but no one was looking for issues among the customers. I happened to mention it.Yes, it occurs when Skype is not running. I actually have not tried running Skype while there as I had no internet access so why try to use Skype!I am going to be off the grid for about two weeks so replies will be delayed. Thanks.

Can Printer Cause Whirring Fan?

Like many of you, I have had the whirring fan on my iMac. The other day, I disconnected my printer (HP psc 750) and I have noticed a dramatic reduction in the whirring noise while surfing the internet. Could the printer the problem or at least a part of it? What is a good printer for use with the iMac that won't cause this isse?

Ok, my iMac G5 did have something similar to a "Whirring Fan" back when it was running 10.4.5, but right after I installed the 10.4.6 update, it seemed to be much better. I think that the printer honestly has nothing to do with the fans, but I could be wrong. What made you conclude that it was the printer causing the "Whirring Fan" other than when you unplugged it? (If you disconnected it and it was fine, then reconnected it and it was not, then it is the printer causing it to happen) Also, if you installed the 10.4.6 update and then disconnected the HP printer, then it was the update that fixed it.

Having issues with my MacBook. Even when the internet is disconnected, apps are still closing and opening on their own. I sometimes do not have control over my cursor.....any suggestions?

Having issues with my MacBook. Even when the internet is disconnected, apps are still closing and opening on their own. I sometimes do not have control over my cursor.....any suggestions?

There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not be apply in your case.
1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
2. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
3. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
6. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
7. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and the unit needs to be serviced or replaced.
8. There's a report that a (possibly defective) Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using such an adapter, disconnect it and test.
9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

Airport connects to the internet but disconnects on downloads. Help please!

Hi there! I just bought my first Mac today which was all very exciting except for some reason my internet connection is a bit dodgy. I seem to be able to view most web pages okay but any attempts to stream or download seem to cause my computer to disconnect after a few seconds without fail. I'm using a Mac Mini with Airport Extreme and my router is a D-Link DL 524. I'm traditionally a PC user and I don't really know a whole lot about PCs so I'm completely lost here. Any advice would be really appreciated.
Billy

Billy,
The first thing I would try is taking the Extreme out of the equation.
Hook your computer directly up to the D-Link router and see if you can get your Internet and network working.
After that, then try adding the Extreme back into the network and see what happens.

Internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting.

Hello
I have Verizon fios, and my internet keeps disconnecting and reconnecting immediately, over a 10 minute period, many times a day.
I am not wireless. Im directly connected to my router. It seems to happen at the same time each day, lately its been getting worse, it will happen about 3-4 times a day . It will start disconnecting, then reconnect, every minute or so, for about 10 minutes.
Ive contacted verizon over the phone, they kept saying to check my router and wire (which I did, and everything seems to fine), after a while on the phone with them, they just hung up on me. I checked my router,wire,computer, and everything is fine there.
Can anyone help me? This is beginning to be a major issue.
Please help
A.W.

I was having this exact symptom for weeks and it was driving me crazy! However, I did find the problem and a solution and maybe it will benefit others as well.
Problem: I had added another device that had a static IP that conflicted with my router's IP.
Solution: In my case, I changed the other devices static IP, but you could also set the other device to use DHCP (best) or change the Verizon device IP.
This can occur for a variety of reasons, but the most common is when you add another router (like a wireless router). Another common cause is that another device on your LAN is running a DHCP server, and since the Verizon router is expecting to be the sole DHCP server they can server the same IP #s out. I've had many cases where a Windows machine just magically started serving DHPC requests, and all versions of Windows I've tested for some reason have the DHCP server running by default!
Hope this helps!

Can someone please help me with my HP photosmart plus ALL IN ONE B209a printer,

I have a problem with my B209a printer, My computer is wired HPE150f, windows 7 64 bit home premium edition
and I had someone come in to my home to set it up so that I could share the printer with my husbands laptop HP G62-220.
I forgot the password and it seems that the settings have got messed up, my husband cannot get access to the scanner and it keeps telling me that no drivers are installed for the printer yet it prints but I can only scan to windows Live photo gallery and no other option.
I have a siemans SE567 modem/ router combo supplied by Telus my ISP provider.
Now everything on my computer shows up as shared or share with which it did not do before but I have no idea how to correct this.
My computer is in a mess and I will have to contact HP support for help with that but the warranty has ran out on my printer even though I started having problems with it only 4 months after purchase and support kept putting me off until the warranty ran out on the 29th of April this year, if anyone can help me figure out how to set my printer correctly please do, I have thought about uninstalling it and reinstalling it again but then I will be stuck on setting it up so that my husband can share it.Also when I print from a web page it is too small to read and when I changed the settings the text was cut off half way through a sentence.

There are Black cartridges and Photo (black) that are not interchangable. Some further information that may help identifying the correct cartridge is shown here. Your B209a does not use a Photo cartridge, you need Black.
If you Contact HP they may exchange the Photo cartridges with Black.

Can't print from the internet but other stuff I can

I have had my printer for about 4 months now and everything has been fine until the other day when it stopped printing from the internet. Now that I think about it, it's about the same time I put new ink in. But I can print from Word and other stuff. I even pulled up the printer in Devices and Printers and did a test page and everything was fine. I have an HP Envy 4501 (Print Scan Copy Photo). I use Chrome for my internet and like I said, I've never had a problem in the past with it.
I downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it said everything was good. When I select to have my email printed, it opens it in a new window and then it does the print display for me and I have to select 'Print using system dialog...(Ctrl+Shift+P)' and then it opens the print window. It has my printer selected, I hit print and nothing happens. My printer icon appears down by my clock in the lower right hand corner of my computer and when I hover over it, it says '(1) document pending for Missy' but then nothing happens and a few seconds later it changes to '(0) document pending for Missy'. ????
What am I doing wrong?? Help please!!!

Hi MissyDub,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are having a problem printing from Google Chrome, where the print job is shown, but then leaves the queue. I would be happy to assist you with this issue!
It sounds as though the issue is isolated to Google Chrome. To restore the browser settings (and printing settings) for Chrome you can uninstall and reinstall the software. If you are using a Mac, you can follow this document. If you are using a Windows computer, you can follow this document.
If that is still giving you trouble, you can also (contact Chrome Support) to find out if further assistance is necessary with their program.
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums, and I will look forward to your reply!

Hp officejet j4580 all-in-one won't print from the internet.

My officejet j4580 all-in-one printer won't print anything I try to print off the internet, nor from microsoft word. I tried reinstalling, but it gets stuck at 94%, and it took almost 3 hours to get to that point. What can I do? My operating system is microsoft vista.

Hi,
Here are a couple of things to try. I would first start with downloading and running the Print Diagnostic Utility. IF this doesn't clear it up, then try the document on Problems printing from the internet.

My internet keeps disconnecting

Hi,
I have seen many posts now about macusers having the same problem as me. I have recently upgraded to IOS Lion and have kept the software updted on a weekly basis.
For some reason my wireless internet keeps disconnecting at speradic times during the day and it has become very irritating. It is not the connection as my PC, Iphone and Ipads are connected while both my Macbook pros decide to go wandering. I never had this problem when i was using the previous operating system but i see other uses had problems with that as well.
Does anyone have any fixes for the problem or know of any patches that can solve the problems. Please help a very irritated Macuser.
Thanks Nobby

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & check out it will definately work!!

How can an external drive cause my Internet to slow to a crawl and then fail?

I have two WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB USB 3 new drives. One I'm using for Time Machine and one for CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner). I have been trying to use them with my new MacBook Pro retina 13-inch.
For the last few days I've had weird problems trying to connect them via a USB 3 hub. I though the hub was the problem (because things seemed to be fine until I introduced a hub into the equation) and already returned one.
But now I see the same thing happening even without the hub.
It appears that one drive, when connected to a USB 3 port (it doesn't matter which port), even when it's doing nothing (I erased and and removed the CCC task), causes the Internet to slow to a crawl, and then stop. All connectivity ceases.
The instant I unmount and remove the drive the Internet springs back to normal speeds - over wifi about 110 Mbps.
Disk Utility says there are no problems with the disk. So does WD's only diagnostic utility. And the firmware is up-to-date.
The other disk, running Time Machine, seems to have no issues at all.
I guess I will return this drive. It could be subtly defective in some way. But what way? Why would an external USB 3 drive affect the Internet connectivity?

I came across this post while in search of the answer to the very same question only I am experiencing this problem when connecting to a USB 3.0 hub and nothing else. The resuling slowdown in my internet speed leaves me hanging intermittently between screens in Safari, sometimes indefinitely. When I remove the USB cable, normal speeds resume. Activity Monitor shows no undue load on the CPU. I did not notice this problem until just recently. Could this have something to do with the recent OSX patch.
BTW: I am running a 2012 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display.
Anybody have a clue as to what might be going on here?

My MacBook Pro has slowed to a crawl. It started when I was printing off the Internet. Now I get the spinning circle in just about every move. Any help?

When Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe reader needed updating, now, with Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to file. Help please.

When Mozilla Firefox last automatically updated, it suggested that Adobe Reader needed updating. After updating to Adobe Reader 8, I can no longer print from the internet, only to a file. I know the printer and its interface must be OK because Word prints normally.

Problem solved, it was my oversight, I had not removed the check from the Print to File box in the print set up.

My new Officejet Pro 8500a on a Windows XP machine will not print from the Internet.

I just purchased and installed an Officejet Pro 8500a all-in-one and everything seems to work fine except that the maachine will not print from the internet. I use Windows XP home and and the Firefox browser. The printer is connected directly to the computer, and is not directly connected to the Internet or any other network.

The Officejet 8500 printers take individual ink cartridges (IIC); that machine requires that all cartridges be installed to ensure that the printhead does not get damaged. Ink is used in the printer not just for printing, but maintain the printer and the printhead. One can reduce the amount of color ink the printer uses by changing the printer settings to Grayscale or use black ink only. Page 34 of the user manual shows how one can change those settings when printing documents. For further information on how ink is used in the printer; one can look as this page here where it goes into detail on the different ways that ink is used in the printer.
I would just replace the color cartridge that the printer indicates needs replacing when the machine alerts you to low ink. I would not replace all colors at once when only one is in need of replacing.
I hope that this helps.
