C4580 problem Wireless setup (Mac)

Hello,
I have a C4580 and a macbook air (10.9)
When I connect the printer with USB works. But when I try to connect via Wireless doesnt work or show.
Since Maveriks install the printer as soon as I connected doesnt show any wireless setup.
I printed the Wireless Network Test Report and it is not connected to the Network (Network status offline).
The UI of the printer doesn't show any way of connecting the printer to the router... it only shows for printing network tests, configuration page and restore network defaults.
The wireless blue led its on, and in the diagnostics summary shows PASS in Wireless on, Wireless Working.
I additionally tried with the HP Utility - HP auto Wireless connect, but doesnt show the printer.
Also, I tryied connecting to hpsetup but gives me a selfassigned IP and this doesn't let me go further in the HP Easy Wireless Setup
Help!

Hi Tewers_244
Since we can not run the Setup Assistant, there is no wireless wizard on the printer or in the Embedded Web Server, you will need to setup the wireless a different way. Please complete the following steps and let me know the outcome;
To restore network defaults
1. Press the Wireless button on the product.
2. Press the button next to the down arrow on the display until Restore Network
Defaults is highlighted, and then press OK.
3. Confirm that you want to restore the network defaults
To turn the wireless radio on
1. Press the Wireless button on the product.
2. Press the button next to the down arrow on the display until Turn Radio On or Turn
Radio Off is highlighted, and then press OK.
3. Make sure the radio is on
Put the computer on the printers network (temporary)
1. Click on the Airport symbol on the top left side of the Mac screen
2. Choose the network that look relative to the printer (might say HP setup or some variation of your printer name)
3. Wait a couple of minutes to allow the computer and printer to communicate with one another
Print the wireless network test
Press the Scan button (it also the Wireless menu button)
Select Wireless Settings
Navigate to Wireless test and select.
The Wireless Network Test prints, look for and note the IP address.
Open an Internet browser (Safari) and enter the IP address into the URL (address bar).
If you require further assistance let me know. If this does not resolve the issue, you might consider upgrading to a model that has full feature software and drivers that is compatible with 10.9. I generally like the models that have the wireless wizard built into the printer control panel too. I hope this information is helpful.

C4580 - Problems with Wireless Installation/Setup

I am having problems installing/setting up my C4580 for wireless printing (i.e. through a network option) USB works fine.
It always fails at the same place:
- I select 'through a network'
- I select my SSID (Network Name) from the list
- I enter my WPA key
- The process runs through Network Diagnostics
- then gives me the following error:
"Your PC can not communicate with your printer at address 192.168.0.5. Check all cable connections. Check that the printer, PC and router are powered on and connected to the network
Unable to communicate with your printer at this time. This may be caused by a Firewall. If you are using firewall software, verify UDP port 427 is unblocked from your printer at 192.168.0.5 to your pc."
I have:
- turned off windows firewall and anti-virus
- ran the install (including advanced and only selecting the required drivers - to save time on multiple attempts)
- before each attempt, fully uninstalled everything (using the L1, L2, L3 and L4 .bat files as recommended by HP)
I have a Netgear DG834, which has a firewall. I have not tried adjusting any settings here, apart from reserving the IP Address 192.168.0.5 for the printer and adding the C4580 MAC Address to the Access Control List.
Any help/advice much appreciated. I have spent about 10 hours on this + 1.5 hours to HP Telephone Support + 1 hour to HP Email Support.

The changes you've made to your wireless-router should be applied to the firewall running on your XP computer. The reason is that those settings on the wireless-router are meant for traffic going between your local network in your home and the wide-area network (aka internet).
You should probably undo those settings.
Let's try adding the printer manually. This sequence works for XP:
Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
Click "Next" button on the first Add Printer Wizard window.
If the option for Local or Network printer appears, select Local printer attached to this computer and click Next. Make sure that "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer" option is unchecked.
Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and configured. Click "Next" button.
Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's host name (that is hostname of printer that printed in netwotrk configuration page)
Under "Additional Port Information" select "Standard". Click Next, and then click Finish.
Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
The Printer name will be highlighted on the next window.
Click "Next" button.
It ask for the Printer name -- leave it as is.
Select "Yes" option for making the printer default.
Click "Next" button.
The Printer Sharing dialog box will open.
Click "Next" button.
The Print Test Page box appears.
Select "Yes" option to print a test page.
Print Test Page.
Completing the Add Printer Wizard box appears.
Click "Finish" button and wait for the files to copy

From ACS - Radius we have choose a Group x( named as Mac-address group )
All the wireless Client ( laptops ) mac-address are added as add username option and enter username
as mac-address & enter the mac-address as pwd second option of password TAB.

Hi Akber,
I think you didnt understood what i was trying to say here :-( No problem..I will explain my theory again.Your requirment is to autheticate user from ACS internal database (you have already added the MAC address as the username on your ACS internal database) as well as from ACS external database (in your case this is AD).
What i was saying is when when authetication request comes to raidus server it checks its internal database and if it find a valid username and password (here it will the MAC address and password which you have entered to the ACS database) the ACS will not query the external database (in your case the AD) for authetication.
You can not have ACS to look in to both MAC and AD database at the same time.
Hope this clears your doubt.

WiFi Wireless Setup Wizard produces Blue Screen of Death on Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

The wireless setup wizard on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is failing immediately after "scanning for networks". I get a blue screen of death with error message B8494B00, followed by "turn printer on and off" with flashing screen.
I bought the printer about one month ago and it has worked perfectly so far. My Apple Time Capsule failed yesterday, so I bought a new one (latest model) and had to set up the wireless network again. When I tried to do so on the printer, I got the error for the first time. Nothing else had changed. Other devices are working with no problems on the new network. The computer is an Apple iMac running OS Mountain Lion.
I have tried turning the printer on and off, disconnecting the power and reconnecting, then turning it on again, but no result. I have restored the wireless to factory settings, but no difference.
Please help.

Right off I have to tell you I do not "speak Mac".
I assume the "Apple Time Capsule" is a name for a network router? A syncing device?
Unless I am mistaken:
You do not need the Wizard to set up the network -- it is pretty software for an HP PC; when it works, it can make things easier. The setup Wizard is not necessary for the process. I should think this is true for the Mac.
=====================================================================================
If you cannot get someone from the Printing group to answer your specific concern,
you may have succes with the following:
The User Guide has pretty good detail on how to set up the networking necessary to get the printer connected to either a PC or Mac environment. Assuming you can get the printer to "Reset network settings" (User Guide, page 222), then you can re-enter the information you require manually. It is a bit tedious, but is may work better than fighting the Wizard.
OfficeJet Pro 8600 User Guide
You may be able to circumvent sone or all of this by reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer -- that assumes you are first able to "reset network settings", at least, and get a printout test page to verify that the reset actually worked.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus won't print or scan wirelessly using Mac OS 10.

Mac OS 10.9
Wireless
My printer was working fine until today. Then when I used the control panel to scan a page I went through the steps and got to scanning and got the message I needed to enable "Scan to Computer" in the HP Utility. I went there and it was unchecked. Seems I had this problem every time I did a new scan job in the past. It wouldn't retain than check. So I checked it and after awhile I got the message "Communication Error" and to check my connections and if that didn't work restart my computer and printer. I did that and also restarted the router but it didn't help.
Then I tried printing from Word, which has always worked but it didn't this time. The printer icon on the right of the dock came up, bounced a few times then disappeared with nothing happening on the printer.
So I deleted and reinstalled the printer. No help. I downloaded and installed HP software and firmware updates. No help. I went through wireless setup. No help
BTW, all along I got good "Wireless Network Test" results. I says it's connected but nothing happens when I try any functions of the printer.
If I can find a USB cable I will try to see if wired works.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey @neoflyer,
I would like to assist you today with resolving the wireless printing and scanning issues you're experiencing on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer on your Mac OS X 10.9 Operating System. You mentioned that you have powercycled the devices, reran the wireless setup, and uninstalled and reinstalled the software and drivers to no avail. I'm going to suggest a few additional troubleshooting steps to verify if this is a computer issue or a network issue.
Step 1: Gather the IP and Open the EWS:
1. On the screen of your printer select the wireless button:
2. Under the Wireless information you should see your IP address
3. Open up your internet browser on your Mac computer and in the website address bar just type in your IP address. Please do not include www.
4. After you enter your IP address in the website bar go to that website
5. If the website for your printer opens than that proves with 100% certainty that your printer and computer are 'talking' to each other on your wireless network. If the website fails to open than you have a network communication issue with your router.
If the website fails to open please powercycle your network again:
How to Properly Powercycle a Network:
First, unplug the power cable to your Router
Once your Router is unplugged, turn off your printer
Next, shut down your computer
After 30 seconds to 1 minutes, plug your Router back in
Next, turn on your printer
Turn on the computer
After a few moments check on your computer and ensure that the internet is working. Once it is, hit the wireless button again on the printer to see if your printer got a new IP address. Using the IP address enter it in the address bar of your internet browser and now see if the website for the printer opens.
If the website for the printer opens successfully please follow the steps below:
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers and Software:
From the computer desktop, double-click the Macintosh HD, and then click Applications.
Click the Hewlett-Packard folder.
Double-click the HP Uninstaller, and then click Continue.
Select the product to uninstall, and then click Uninstall.
When prompted, type the Administrator name and Password, and then click OK.
From the Macintosh HD menu, click Users.
Click the correct user name.
Click Library.
Click Preferences.
Click and hold the cursor on the first file that starts with "HP," and then drag the file to the Trash icon on the taskbar. Complete this step for each file that starts with "HP."
Close out of Preferences.
Click the Trash icon on the taskbar, click the Empty button, and then click OK to empty the trash.
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
Go to the Utilities Folder
Open the Disk Utility
Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
1. Please click the following link to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.9 drivers for your printer: Mac: HP Officejet Pro 8600 series Full Feature Software and Drivers
2. Once downloaded, run through the step by step screens to reinstall your network printer
3. Once the printer is reinstalled, attempt a print and a scan!
Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. Good luck!

Airport Express problems with new MAC MINI and DLINK router SOLVED

Hi just thought I would post this as it may well help others experiencing similar frustrations with new core duo mac mini and wireless connection or quality problems across the network / internet etc
I have a 3 week old, new mac mini core duo 1.8ghz 2gig ram, 120gb disk - First Mac, connecting to my exisiting wireless network via DLINK ADSL Router 2MB Broadband also one windows laptop and pc also wireless on the network and two airport express potins to stream itunes to
Problem was briefly
Mac worked fine, but the network connection just far too slow, laptop and pc, 1800+ kbps downstream mac mini 90 - 150kbps (http://www.adslguide.org/tools/speedtest.asp)
also if i ping the router directly from terminal (ping -c 20 192.168.1.1) average response 12+ ms with 20% packet loss, yet laptop and pc avg 2ms no losses
Spent 2 evenings on frustrating calls of more than 1 hour each (due to being cut off , then ring back and closed etc etc) and carrying out a the helpdesk troubleshooting (I am an IT consultant I think I am above this level), eventually an archive and install of the os as well
last night I call for the third time, insisting I dont wish to carry out any further troubleshooting, and want it replaced and resolved or my money back
I receive a call back from product specialist (not sure if thats mac mini specialist or airport) but we resolved the issue (his knowledge far superior to the help desk do this do this attitude)
between us we carried out the folowing and resolved the problem and I am now very happy
mac now downstreaming also in excess of 1800kbps (as expected for 2mb broadband)and no packet loss
This problem was resolved by switching off the turbo option hidden away in the routers settings, under wireless configuration
Supposed to improve performance, but its rubbish and will make hardly any difference under mac os to the speed but will certainly affect your mac mini performance(you may have a similar setting switched on in your routers and mac os dont like it)
We stumbled across this by first disconnecting one of the airport express devices from my dlink network, and using it on its own default apple wireless settings, effectively making it a standalone wireless network, and not via the dlink router
we then carried out the same ping with the ip address of this device (from airport admin utility default 10.0.1.1) and the results were fantastic 2ms avg no package loss
this established it was something with the router, and how we then interrogated the routers settings and found the turbo on option within wireless configuration
you may not be able to replicate this if you dont have an additional network you could join (such as airport express), but probably worth checking your own router settings for something similar
Hope that may be of assistance to others, sorry that its a bit long winded and garbled, but I'm just so excited to finally get my new mac working as i would expect it to
Also perhaps insist on speaking to a product specialist immediately that the helpdesk are unable to help you

Hello macfar14. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
For just streaming iTunes and/or for sharing a USB printer, the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) just needs to be configured as a wireless client ... which you already attempted to do.
Just to be sure nothing was missed, here are the basic steps to do this:
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing wireless network's Network Name or SSID>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

Hey Guys i have a problem with my mac since last month and it wont boot up it freezes in a grey apple logo and and spinning gear any body know how to fix this?

Hey Guys i have a problem with my mac since last month and it wont boot up it freezes in a grey apple logo and and spinning gear any body know how to fix this?

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Before reconnecting an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Step 3
Boot in safe mode.* The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Post for further instructions.
When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 4
Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 5
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see above for instructions.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it produces. Look for the line "Permissions repaired successfully" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
Step 6
Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
Step 7
Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
Step 8
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

Wireless setup

I have a laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw. My computer is a lenovo T430s running Windows 7. I've been using the printer/scanner as a wireless. I replaced my modem and now need to setup the wireless again. These directions from the hp website say to use the printer's control panel, and go to Setup (did that), Network menu (did that), and then the Wireless Setup Wizard is suppoesd to display a list of wireless networks in the area.
http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/wireless/printer-setup-help.html
I haven't been able to find the list of wireless networks.

Hi,
Run the printer installation CD, download its latest software from the HP site or go to My Computer and launch its installation thorugh the listed HP Smart Install drive.
Select Wireless connection and follow the steos on screen to reconfigure the wireless connection for your new router.

HP Deskjet 3054A Wireless setup without access to router.

Hey everyone,
I own an HP Deskjet 3054A, and I would like to be able to print wirelessly. When I go through the wireless setup, it tells me to either: 1) enter a PIN on the wireless router or 2) Use WPS (Wireless protected setup). The problem is that I don't have access to my building's router (I'm a student, afterall).
I know some HP printers have a feature where you can plug it into your computer via USB, and have it set it up for wireless; mine does not seem to have that, as when I open up the HPLIP (HP printing software for Linux--- yes, I do use Linux), and add the device, and select "Wireless/802.11 (requires a temporary USB connection and is only available for select devices)", and connect the computer to the printer, and click "Next", but it says "No wireless capable devices found". I assume that this is because the printer is not one of the aformentioned "select devices". Is there anyway of enabling this feature? I'm not afraid of loading custom firmware or writing some C code if neccessary I'm a nerd afterall!
I'm using Ubuntu 12.10.
Thanks,
Jordan

OK, this model does support an ad-hoc style wifi connection, however only for the first hour after its first power on sequence (or a reset of the network settings).

HP P1102w printer will not wake up after sleep (wireless setup, win8)

Bought this printer a month ago. I have no problem with both LAN +Wireless setup.
Windows8 OS
I noticed once the printer is not on (goes to sleep), it will not wake up by itself.
According to manual, if I send a print job, it should wake up by itself.
Currently, this is what I need to do.
I need to physically turn off and turn on the printer, wait for 10-15 seconds until the wifi blue light is solid (no blinking)
and then send my print job, and it will work
Just wondering whether HP has a solution to this, thanks

And there is no option to disable Sleep mode. The max you can set it to is 1 hour.
The power physically / manually has to be powered back on, to establish IP connectivity.
This has been an issue for 2 years now!!! Come on what does it take to get an update?
Seriously?

Printer wireless for Mac Pro and I pad.?

Need to get a printer wireless for Mac Pro also can be use with the IPad this is possible? Thank you

Any of the current HP e-Print capable printers support AirPrint capabilities without even having to enable the e-Print stuff that's purely HP.
Also, make sure your exisiting network router at home supports multicast protocols. The majority of retail routers support this and you won't have issues, but I've run into problems with carrier issued modem/router combo units from Comcast made by Arris that don't support multicast and other protocols and hence, will not allow for the necessary discovery protocols for AirPrint to work across the wired or wireless network. In cases like that, the fix is to place those units in "bridge mode" and then use your own router behind it that doesn't restrict that capability. Just FYI.

Wireless Setup Assistant Not Working

I am not able to figure out out to 1) add a client using pin. Which computer generates the pin? The the host or the client? and 2) I am not able to a Windows client. The windows computer will connect the APE, but the APE will not capture the MAC address and add it.
Is there some step that I am missing?

I, too, am having some difficulty in getting the Wireless Setup Assistant to connect an iPaq 2495b to the network. I just get the spinning icon with no apparent action happening.
Any thoughts?

Samsung CLX-3305W wireless setup

I can't fathom why they make this so difficult, but there are other accounts online documenting similar problems to what I'm having, yet none with a resolution that works for me.
- Drivers that came on the CD provided are installed
- A Wireless Utility I found in Samsung's Support documents is installed
- I can print and scan with USB attached
- I was successful in getting the printer name ("Portthru") recognized in Airport under Devices, but it still won't print wirelessly
There is a key point that always comes up in Samsung Support as well as in the other cases of people having trouble where you must log-in to Samsung's online utility called SyncThru by entering the printer's IP address into the URL line of your browser so that you can change the printer's IP to a Static one rather than DHCP. Not my router's, the printer's IP.
This is the crux of my problem, I think. I can not log-in to SyncThru. The IP address just brings up a 'page cannot be found' type message.
Also, at one point in the wireless setup assistant there is a button to click "Set IP Address" (for the printer), but it opens a webpage for me where I get the message "No JAVA 2 SDK Standard Edition v 1.4.2 Support for APPLET!!!"
I don't know what to do. In fact, I'm annoyed it's this complicated so at them moment I have uninstalled everything and boxed up the printer.
Please help, I'd actually like to get it working.

You might want to check with Samsung support to verify if your model will work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme. If it does, then you will be able to print from your computer using the wireless connection.
There is a good chance that the printer will work because it does appear on Apple's list of compatible models:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
Important Note......If your printer is an All-in-One type device, only the print function will work when the printer is connected to the AriPort Extreme. Copy, Scan, Maintenance, etc will not be supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your computer for those features to be available.
If you are asking about printing from an iPad, even if your printer is supported, you will likely not be able to print from the iPad unless you install an App like Print Central on the iPad.
