Can't complete wireless setup for new router. Printer keeps looking for old router.

I'm not able to connect my printer to my new wireless modem. My printer continues to look for the older wireless modem. I'm using windows 8. In setup, when it gets to the window "change usb to wireless," my printer can't be found.  I printed out the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows that the new network is "discovered." On the Diagnostics Summary, the "Wireless On" and Wireless Working" passes, but "Network Name (SSID) Found" is Fail. 
Where in Win8 can I find my router properties? I might can enter the printer WPS PIN there, but can't find it! Thank you for any help!

@judyw217, Welcome to the forums!
I hope to help you with the connection issues you're having when trying to connect your Deskjet F4580 to your "new network" as you now have a new router. I have a few ideas in mind that you can try to get started!
First try power cycling the network devices. Sometimes all of the devices just need a restart!:
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.
Now check to see if your SSID is found (your network).
If the network is still not found, try running the Print and Scan Doctor on your computer to see if the tool can detect your printer and add it to the network.
If the printer is still not connecting to your router, check your router settings. If you need assistance checking the router settings, contact your router provider. I will let you know which options you are looking to check:
Network name and password to have no spaces or punctuation.
If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal.
Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer may connect to g).
Turn Mac Filtering Off.
Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security.
Multicasting "on".
Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500
Just to add, here are instructions to help you with Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP Deskjet F4580 and F4583 All-in-One Printers

  • New Mac Pro keeps looking for a server that isn't there

    So, I just got my new Mac Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) the other day.  I used MIgration Asssisant to transfer most files from my old Power Mac G5.   Computers were connected thru a hub.
    Then I turned on file sharing on the old machine to get some other info transferred.  I then shut down file sharing, physically disconnecting the hub and connecting the new Mac Pro to my DSL modem with an ethernet cable.
    Now when I boot up the new machine, I get a message
    "There was a problem connecting to the server  'Joe Blow's Power Mac G5'.
    "The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and try again."
    I get this message three separate times ove a couple of minutes.
    Under the "Go" button in the Finder menu, I've clicked on  "Connect to server..." and cleared the old mac out of the list.
    What am I missing??
    Thanks

    Common causes of this issue include the following:
    Aliases in the iPhoto, iTunes, or iMovie library pointing to the server.
    Bookmarks in the Preview application.
    See iMovie Troubleshooting: Connection Failed, Server Does Not Exist
    Otherwise, proceed as below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything. This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it. Step 1 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.” While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin. Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem? After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it. *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing. Step 2 The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. 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.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Since lion upgrade iMac keeps looking for old server

    Hi,
    I have a NAS prior to Lion upgrade which was working perfectly. Now with the Lion upgrade the NAS (Sitecom) ther were some issues. I have reinstalled the NAs and had given it a new name. I can find the NAs now so thats not a problem.
    But almost every hour I get 2 warning that he can not find the "old NAS", it really start annoying me and I've looked everywhere and I don't even find any link (Finder) towards it so I don't know what to do to get rid of this message, receiving it every hour twice really start getting on my nerves.
    Sorry for th Dutch, but the message translates;
    A problem has occured with connecting to the server 'VanBeeckNAS'
    The server doesn't exist or is currently not available. Check the servername or the IP-address of the server, ...
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Peter

    Same problem since lion. Not only can I not back up to the server it keeps looking for it several times on start up. Real annoying.

    Hi
    On my macbook pro
    I'm try to set up a new Epson printer SX 445 to my router/network but each time I run the set up wizard it fails to complete saying Security Key/Password Check fail.
    *entered security key/password does not match the one set for for router.
    I know that the password is correct and have rechecked this by changing it a few times
    and I still get the same result.
    My network internet service provider is not interested and says to call Epson.
    Anybody have any clues how I can resolve this?
    Regards

    I personally suggest the new Drobo FS. Since it has an iTunes server built in and you can use any size sata hard drive in it it is better and a NAS that has to use the same size drives.

  • Although I'm connected to my WIFI network my computer keeps "looking for new networks" How can I stop it from doing so when I'm working at home and don't want another network?

    You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

    As Bob says, any iMap service can do this. GMail can, iCLoud mail can too.
    Both of these can be used with Mail on any device.

  • Can a completed Aperture photo book be placed on a website for viewing by friends?  I already had several copies successfully printed by Apple.

    Can a completed Aperture photo book be placed on a website for viewing by friends?  I already have several copies successsfully printed by Apple?  Thanks. Buzz22

    There is no direct web publishing of a book, sorry. But as a work-around: You can print your book to pdf - select it in the book in the Inspecktor panel and use "Print book".  Then select the "PDF" buttun in the print panel and save a pdf file. Upload the pdf to a server for sharing (ftp, Drop box) and send your friends a link or place a link to the file on a webpage.

  • Trying to restore from time capsule to nes hard drive, keeps looking for disks ! Can you help

    ccan't restore from time capsule to new hard drive, after changing to new HD, after calculating required space to restore it keeps looking for disks! Have have put original OS X  install disk 1 in it won't Eject , any help

    The very best way to do this is with ethernet to the existing router. Put the TC in bridge mode manually.
    Then plug it in to existing router.. we recommend LAN router to WAN on the TC but even that is not 100% necessary.
    If you want to link by wireless, to a non-apple router that is bad.. recommend strongly against it. Join a wireless network is super slow.
    If you have a desktop Mac you can plug it directly into the Mac by ethernet.
    But we need to know how the Mac is connected to internet.
    I have given some info on one layout here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    If you end up relying on an old TC. And any of the models from Gen1-3.. and increasingly Gen4 have all reached EOL.. they can die suddenly and either take your files with them or be hard to recover. Also a TC is slow cf a USB external drive even, which is more reliable. Considering a 2TB is <$100 I would be careful using an old TC simply because you got it free.

  • I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

    I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

    Hello TirEoghain,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

  • New at this and looking for advice

    Hi, I am new at Qmasnter and looking for advice. Myself and a few of my other co-workers have been using FCP2 and we have been tossing around the idea of making a Cluster with our computers on our campus. Two of us run on MacBook Pro's, and the other on a 24" iMac, there is also 2 MacPro's and another 24" iMac we would like to toss into the cluster. I know it seems backwards, the ones that are doing all the editing are on the slower machines, but our organization operates backwards and not logically anyways. The question is what happen to the cluster when a node is turned off? Should the laptops be a node in the cluster? All the computers are running on a gigabyte network, so the network can handle it. Just looking for peoples wisdom before I cause my own headache, and learn for others mistakes.
    Thanks

    Hi Jon,
    I've also started investigating the qmaster.
    I'm following this guide you posted on digitalrebellion :
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/usingcompressor_with_multiplecores.html
    but I the 'options for selected service' is greyed out when I click on compressor.
    I can selected the 'options for...' when I click on rendering, but it just allows me to add another computer (but my only choice is 'this computer'. I see the option for SSH, but if i'm logged into another computer, shouldn't I be able to see it in the list?
    Sorry for the noob questions. I"m trying to figure it out.
    I have the following at my disposal:
    mac pro 2.66 (main machine)
    imac 2.16
    macbook pro 2.2
    powermac g5 2.0

    How big do you believe an ATV is?  They are tiny compared to most devices.
    The ATV is the only AirPlay receiver, short of an actual AV receiver with AirPlay support, but those are MUCH larger.

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.
