C5280 no longer prints wirelessly from Vista laptop after purchase of new Win7 PC wired to C5280

My Windows XP desktop was wired directly to the C5280 and I was able to print through my home network from the Win Vista laptop downstairs. Since I purchased a Win7 PC and replaced the Win XP one, the laptop cannot print wirelessly through the home network. What can I do to regain that functionality? Thanks.

OK, first wireless Gateway (modem/router combo) units are terrible for wireless connection. It is always, always best to use a separate modem and router in your network that YOU have control over instead of Comcast. If you have your old router it would be best to call Comcast and have that Gateway put in Bridge mode (disables the router section) and connect your own high quality router. With that said, let's try this. Set the router to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto'. If you still can't connect, remove all security off the routers SSID. Now try to connect to your SSID with no security. Are you successful?

  • Print Wirelessly from Vista Laptop

    I had wireless printing working from my old XP laptop, but I can't get it to work with my new one running Vista. Airport Extreme connected to my imac. File Sharing and Print Sharing are turned on in preferences. I can see the printer from my laptop, but when I select print it says access was denied...unable to connect. In Vista in the control panel the printer shows up with a check mark and a green symbol on the network link. Any guidance greatly appreciated.

    Printer sharing is also turned on in Visa Control Panel

  • Can no longer print wirelessly from my IPad

    have a hp photosmart 6510  Airprint wireless printer; have pc, laptop, and IPAD connected to it; all have been working great until a few days ago when Ipad  began to not print.
      now when i click the print button on my IPad one of two things happen. 1) screen says "contacting printer" or 2) the small print box just disappears in both cases however nothing gets printed. Network is fine and web access is fine; configuration shows no problem; no problem printing wirelessly from pc and laptop computers.  have unplugged router and modem, have also verified that blue tooth is off in IPad. what to do; any help would be appreciated

    You unplugged the router and modem -- that's good.  Now try resetting your iPad.
    Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

  • Mt iPhoto library has disappeared from my laptop after syncing my new iPhone with the laptop. I now have a new iPhoto library with no photos. I have tried pressing option when opening iPhoto but I only get one library option and can't find my old one

    My iPhone4s was recently replaced by apple due to grey out on wifi. when I went to sync with my laptop my iPhoto library disapeared and I was left with an empty library. I cannot find my old library on my laptop. I only get one option for a library when i open iPhoto while holding down option key. I am worried I have lost all my photos. there seems ot be no iPhoto library on my iCloud either.
    Any suggestions?

    Syncing with an iPhone should not delete the iPhoto library on your mac. It only will upload photos to the phone (iTunes sync) or import (connecting by USB). How did you sync your phone?
    TD, do you know of any way, that a sync could delete an iPhoto Library on a Mac?
    You may have opened a wrong library or may be working from a different user account. Are you using the same user name and Apple ID as before?
    How have you searched for iPhoto libraries? Have you searched with Spotlight?
    Each iPhoto library contains a file called "Library6.iPhoto" - even if your iPhoto library should no longer be recognisable as photolibrary, this file should be found:
    Type "Library6" into the "Spotlight" search field in the upper right corner of your screen, like this:
    When you see a list of files, select one of them and hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ to reveal the path to the file.
    If Spotlight cannot find the file in the packages, use "FindAnyFile"  http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile

  • 8630 all-in-one prints wirelessly from phone but not from laptop

    I just set up my new 8630 printer and it is connected wirelessly. I printed something from my phone on it. I downloaded the driver from HP to my laptop but it will not work with the printer. I cannot print wirelessly from the laptop. I have not tried from USB cable because I am determined to make this work!  I am not sure the driver installed properly either. When I go to the control panel and click on printers and find the 8630 it says"empty."  Feeling frustrated. I never have good luck installing stuff like this! I also downloaded the troubleshooting software and none of the solutions has worked either. Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some communication issues as well.
    Like I stated to the other person on this thread, I am going to need the operating system that you are using.

  • Changed printers, now can't print wireless from laptop

    Hi. I changed to a HP printer from an Epson. Now I can't print wirelessly from my laptop through my Airport Express. I get a message that the printer is offline.
    Went to the HP site & got latest drivers. And there was an Apple update for the HP. I can print when the laptop is connected to the printer by the USB cable.
    When I first set up the AP Express 2 years ago, I was able to print wirelessly without any problems.
    any ideas?
    Thanks

    Got it fixed. Went to the HP site again & they had info for OS10.5 that worked.

  • Printing wirelessly from laptop but can't print from iPhone or iPad to officejet 6700

    On the Officejet 6700 I have it set up to print wirelessly from my laptop, but it does not print from the iPhone or iPad.  It locates the officejet and says it's preparing to print and even appears that it is going to print, but nothing prints.  Thoughts?

    Hi there, take a look at this support docuemnt for the AirPrint solution for printing from Apple mobile devices. In particular read the sections titled "What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?" and "What if I experience problems when I try and use AirPrint?" 
    Follow the suggested trouble shooting steps in the order listed and post back if you're still having problems.
    Best.

  • HP Photosmart 5520 printer no longer prints wireless

    Hello.
    I recently got an xfinity cable modem with wireless.  (Xfinity/comcast promoted it should be faster...I am seriously doubthing that!)
    Before this cable modem, I was printing okay with a Netgear router.  Never an issue with it.  Now with the comcast modem with the Netgear router, I can no longer print wirelessly from my computer or anywhere remotely (ipad, laptop, etc).
    I do suspect something with the comcast modem but comcast claims it is NOT them (Yeah, right...works okay flawlessly before and now nothing).   Thus if someone can help me pinpoint where the problem lies, I would be greatly appreciated.   And of course, one cannot turn off the wireless network in the xfinity modem either!!
    Have tried the HP diagnosics but says it cannot establish a 2 way communication.  Everything on the printer display looks correct from a wireless standpoint (i.e. sees the router name, etc).
    I am using Windows Vista
    Thanks!
    Thomas

    What Comcast forced on you is a Gateway device, modem+router.  Call comcast and have them put that Gateway in Full Bridge mode and now connect your router back up and use that.   What is the exact Comcast model number they gave you?

  • I can no longer print wirelessly

    My wireless network was recently changed and I can no longer print wirelessly from any of my devices. I have tried to change the info by connecting the printer to my MacBook Pro but I am stuck. Pleas help a confused housewife!

    Hi,
    If your wireless network was changed, you'll need to make sure that the printer and all your devices are still connected to the network. On your devices, you'll need to go to the wireless network icons and re-enter your password - the same for the printer.
    For wireless printing to be enabled, both the printer and devices need to be connected to the same wireless network.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500- prints wirelessly from one computer in network but not the other

    I can print wirelessly from my laptop, but not my desktop. The printer shows on the list, checked as the default, and READY, but document does not seem to find its way there. It never shows up in the print queue.

    Download and run this utility.  It should indicate what is wrong.
