C310a How Do You Manually Set an IP Address?

Hey all.
Just got a new HP Photosmart Premium C310a and I'm trying to set it up on my home network (Verizon FIOS, Apple nodes, Alesus Access Points, hard set IP's). Alas, it only comes with WiFi.
So, I've done the following:
* Added the printers MAC address to the Access Point I'm going to connect to.
* Installed all the various Macintosh drivers/software.
* Run the WiFi set up.
At this point, according to the HP Netowrk Configuration Page, i'm all happy and connected, but according to everything else, I'm not connected. Since I do NOT run DHCP, I'm guessing that the printers 'auto' configuration is looking for IP info. So, I go to the printers front panel and navigate to Tools - Network - IP Settings. Alas, no matter what I do, it always stays on Automatic and doesn't take the IP info I enter.
How the heck to I turn off Auto IP Settings and Manually enter my IP info??
Any help would be appreciated!
thanks in advance

You may have to enable DHCP temporarily to get the printer on the network.  Then:
- 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). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
Now you can disable DHCP and be on your way!

  • How do you manually assign an IP address?

    I am adding a fifth computer to my LAN -- an Apple laptop. For some reason the router is not automatically assigning it an IP address.
    How do you figure out what address to automatically assign?
    (all the other computers have the same number but a different extension as the last number, following the last period).
    This is an iBook Apple laptop. Is there a special secret to getting Apples to "talk" to Linksys wireless routers (or vice versa)? My router is a WRT54G.

    is your router wrt54g v5, if it is, you should upgrade its firmware to 1.01.1 to resolve the problem. If not, try going to system preferences >> network >> tcp/ip. On ipv4, select manually and enter the following: ip address: 192.168.1.50, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, router:192.168.1.1 and dns server: 192.168.1.1. hope this helps

  • How do you manually set the # of threads - weblogic.socket.Muxer in 8.1

    We are seeing some strange behavior with an application that has 9 threads as seen in the "Monitor all Active Queues..." I'd like to try to reduce this to 5, where would I set this?
    Thanks!

     Just Google for such things as this: http://www.directron.com/12to7.html
     You can also rig things yourself if you're inclined to do so and have the ability. You can finds instuctions by doing a web search.
     I made something a bit different using a +8V 0.5A voltage regulator just because I had the parts and felt like doing it.

  • How do you manually lower the resolution on a hp photosmart 209a-m printer

    I want to print with black ink only and lower the resolution.  How can you manually lower the resolution settings?  Black ink only is no issue but I cannot lower the resolution to below the 600 that it's set for.  Wasting ink!  Planning on getting a non- hp printer due to ink costs.

    Hi,
    From applications, using DRAFT printing or FAST printing will definitely reduce the resolution.
    Regards.

  • BIAPPS how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date?

    Dears experts,
    how can we manually set both ETL start date and end date while conducting incremental load IN DAC?
    Please advise me.
    thanks,
    Joe.

    You can set those dates in the DAC system parameters tab. You should see lots of $$xxxxxx parameters.
    If I may, I'd suggest you use the OBI Applications forum for questions on DAC.

  • How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?

    Like the subject line says: How do you manually manage podcasts with the new iTunes?
    With the previous version of iTunes, when I plugged in my iPod, I could select the iPod, select podcasts, and manually delete episodes. With the new iTunes, I can't select individual episodes when looking at my iPod through iTunes. Is my only option to Sync? If so, why is that my only option?
    This question probably has a simple answer, and I'm just not seeing it.

    Rock,
    I think I figured out a way to do what you want to do - which is the same way that I use Itunes with my Ipod. (My Itunes libary was destroyed last year so I can no longer auto synch my Ipod as I would lose thousands of songs).
    Funnily enough, I discovered this new way of manually moving podcasts while trying to figure out what cpragman was trying to say (I never could - he must be smarter than me, as I couldn't get his method to work).
    1. Open up your Itunes in your regular Library view. Choose Pocasts from the left hand side (either in the sidebar if you have that enabled, or from the little "radio" icon if you don't.)
    2. Mouse to the podcast you want to place on your Ipod.
    3. Right-click it.  A long menu will pop up.
    4. Move to the "Add to Playlist" option.  As you hover, all your playlists will be visible. But at the very top will be the name of your Ipod itself (whatever you named it originally).  Choose THAT name, and voila! That podcast will now copy to your Ipod and be easily available when you disconnect.
    A nice feature of this method is that you can shift-click several podcasts at once and do the same thing, and all your selected podcasts will copy over (if you're like me and update your Ipod only every few weeks).
    Hope this helps - let me know if it works for you!

  • How do you re-set an iPhone password when your child, the comedian, thought it was funny to change the four digit code, and now cannot remember what he put in? Thanks

    How do you re-set the four digit password when your son, the comedian, thinks it was funny to change the password, but now cannot remember what he changed it to? the phone goes inactive for 60 minutes, but I can't figure out how to get a reset.  Thanks, kel

    You're in trouble. You'll have to force the phone into recovery mode & restore it to remove the passcode:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • How do you manually sort photos in Photo Stream?

    How do you manually sort photos in Photo Stream?

    This worked for me.
    I created a new photo stream for the pics I intended to share. For this project is was pictures of my parents new apartement. I needed them to be in a certain order, not in the order I took the pictures. I shared this photostream with my parents Apple ID.
    Created a photo album of the images I wanted to share in a specific order in iPhotos on my Mac.
    Put the pictures in the new desired order in the photo album.
    Selected all the pics in the album and did a batch change of the date. I put them in 1 minute incriments.
    Then selected all the images in that album and shared to the to the desired photo stream.
    Seems to have worked like a charm.

  • Hi,using the COM interface how do you get/set

    Hi, using the COM Interface how do you get/set the Keep iTunes Music Folder Organised options, I cant seem to find it in the help. Secondly if I have the location of a file and the Track DatabaseId, is there any way to get get the IITrack object that relates to the location. As far as I can see the Search method only allows searching on artist/abum,title,composer , and GetITObjectByID() reuires both the track database id and the track in playlist id ,and I only have the first.
    Thanks for any help Paul

    Yes, I brute force my way through it. I analyzed the file before and after a preference change to find the data changed. FYI, the "data" portion of the iTunesPrefs.xml file appears to be Base64-encoded. Strings are UTF8.
    If you want more support from apple, you would probably need to buy an higher-level ADC account.
    You can also try submitting an enhancement request through http://bugreport.apple.com (requires at least a free ADC Online account)

  • How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

    How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

    When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

  • TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
    From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
    The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with. 
    Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

  • HT1535 How do you manually add music to a device's playlist in iTunes 11??? YOU CAN'T!!!

    I don't know what Apple was thinking with iTunes 11, this is the worst iTunes EVER. Year after year, Apple continues to ruin what used to be a great app.
    In iTunes 11, your devices no longer appear on the left along side your playlists. There's now a spot in the top right corner that says the number of devices. If you click on that button you can see the devices that are connected, the ammount of free space and an eject icon but that's it. If you click on the device, you can set it up but I cannot seem to find a way to simply drag and drop a song from my music library to my iPod or more importantly to a specific playlist on my iPod. A very common thing... HOW DO I DRAG AND DROP SONGS INTO AN IPOD PLAYLIST IN ITUNES 11???
    If there is no answer, how do I downgrade my iTunes to 10 or 9???

    It's is Sooooooooo RETARTED!!! WHY CAN'T I MANUALLY ADD PLAYLISTS TO MY IPHONE??? AFTER I PURCHASE MUSIC IN ITUNES I THEN USUALLY CREATE A PLAYLIST (In Itunes 10.7) BECAUSE I FORGET THE ARTISTS!! AFTER I CREATE MY PLAYLIST I WOULD MANUALLY DRAG THAT PLAYLIST TO MY EXISTING IPHONE ICON AND VOILA! NOW I CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!! I HAVE TO WRITE DOWN THE ARTSISTS NAMES AND ENTER THEM INTO THE SEARCH BAR AND ADD THE SONGS MANUALLY TO MY IPHONE ICON!!!! ITUNES 11 JUST PUTS ME IN A REALLY BAD MOOD! I'm soo mad and upset. First world problems yo...
