Can't fax from smartphone or laptop wireless on my 4630

my all in one keeps saying no anwser when trying to fax from hotspot on phone and computer

Hi @wiszard
What kind of hotspot are you using? HP Printers are designed to work with 802.11 WiFi networks, thus connecting to the Hotspot may not work.
This particular model does have the feature called Wireless Direct (WD). HP wireless direct is a new feature that allows your Wi-Fi capable devices (for example: smart phones, tablets, or computers) to make a wireless network connection directly to your printer without using a wireless router or access point. You connect to your printer's HP wireless direct signal the same way you connect your Wi-Fi capable device to a new wireless network or hotspot. - Source
Please use the instructions in the link I sourced to set the printer up using wireless direct. Simply open the link and click on 'How to connect to HP wireless direct'.
Once the WD is enabled, open your network settings on your computer and choose the printer network, it will look like a variation of the printer name.
If you would like clarification or have any questions I would be happy to help.

Can I FAX from a Wireless hp6700 printer

Can I FAX from a Wireless hp6700 printer? Do I need to connect it to a phone line or does it have fax software that will allow me to fax to a fax number via my home wireless network->Internet->Fax number.

Hi,
You need a phone cord as mentioned in its manual:
Test fax setup
You can test your fax setup to check the status of the printer and to make sure it is set up correctly for faxing. Perform this test after you have completed setting up the printer for faxing. The test does the following:
• Tests the fax hardware
• Verifies the correct type of phone cord is connected to the printer
• Checks that the phone cord is plugged into the correct port
• Checks for a dial tone
• Checks for an active phone line
• Tests the status of your phone line connection
The printer prints a report with the results of the test. If the test fails, review the report for information on how to fix the problem and rerun the test.
Regards.

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer?

How can I print from ipad to non wireless printer.
....been trying to save document to pc to print.... but cant find a way to do so.....?

Actually you can print to a non wireless printer if you have apps on the iPad and your computer that will do this and as long as you can set up a WiFi network or the iPad and the computer are already on the same network.
I Am running an old OSX version on my iMac at work (Tiger OSX 10.4.11) and I have an app on my iPad called Save2 pdf. I downloaded a helper app on the Mac called WePrint. I do not have WiFi at work, but I create a WiFi network using the Ethernet connection to the Mac that my iPad can also join. As long as I can send the file/text/document to the Save2pdf app, I can print it on my old HP LaserWriter1012 which is not a wireless printer. This uses the Mac as the print server and the WePrint app on the Mac sends the doecument to the printer.
It's not a very elegant solution, and it is a little convoluted, but it does work.

How do I set up the fax program so I can send faxes from my mac

How do I set up the fax program so I can send faxes from my mac

Do you have a fax machine or fax modem? If not, then you cannot fax over telephone lines, but you can subscribe to one of many eFax services.

Can't fax from computer

My new Officejet 5740, purchased 11/15/14, worked fine until February 2015 – no problems with any of its functions, including faxes.
That was about the time I switched from a wireless connection to a USB connection, and since then outgoing faxes cannot be sent from the computer, although they can be sent from the printer using the LED screen. There is no problem with incoming faxes.
Sending from the printer with the LED screen is an error-prone nuisance compared to the convenience of using the computer. Protracted discussions with HP Tech Support have been no help. The Techs seem to think I should just give up and use the LED screen on the printer.
After trying unsuccessfully to send an outgoing fax using the computer, the Fax Status window pops up indicating "Spooling…" as the status of the fax, and it never goes any further.
Is it possible that my changeover in type of connection from wireless to USB has caused the problem? Do I perhaps need a different driver? If so, where do I go to download one, and what do I ask for? Thank you.
This question was solved.

Thanks very much for the detailed instructions for fixing my outgoing fax problem. Because the instructions involved a number of steps, I hesitated to launch into them until I had the necessary time to go through them carefully. I was about to do so tonight, but before starting I tried once more to send a fax from my computer.
And what do you know, it worked perfectly, just as it had before this problem appeared a couple weeks ago! Somehow it fixed itself during the last 7 days -- possibly as a result of one of the periodic software updates that occur automatically(?) Whatever... I'm just glad it's fixed. I'll keep your instructions for future use if needed. Thanks again.

I can't fax from my Photosmart 7510.

Please e-mail me at {Personal Information Removed} my old e-mail no longer works.
I am set up with eFax and ePrint, but I cannot fax from my Photosmart 7510. What do I do?

Hello again thelids,
Please for your privacy, do not post any iformation that can identify you, such as email addresses, or phone numbers. Now if you will go here and follow the steps under "Send a fax" it will tell you how to send a fax via eFax. Honestly it is pretty much the same as sending a fax the traditonal way. Just touch eFax, dial the number, put want you want to fax on the glass, or through the feeder no top, and start the fax. If you need anymore help, let me know.

Cannot Access Subscribed Channels from Smartphone or Laptop!

We contacted Tech Support on 8-3-15 about this, she put in a request for Tier 2 to take a look, but we haven’t heard from anyone and the issue is not yet resolved. Even tried to chat on 8-4-15, but the agent couldn’t see what was being typed. Up until the evening of 8-3-15, we were able to stream our paid content on our smartphones and laptop via the TV Go App. Then, an error message occurred for most Cable channels (ABC, CBS, PBS, NBC, and Fox programming worked fine). We get the “key” symbol and are told the network isn’t included in our subscription. I even tried the independent app, Watch Espn, and this message comes up: “this network is not included in your current television subscription”. We have the HD Digital Preferred with Starz and also added HBO. The phone Tech on 8-3 said our Subscription is active, so there’s an issue with accessing the Apps. I have seen on the Comcast Forum that other users have also reported this issue. Please help! Thank you so much!

Update: Issues have now been resolved; Apps working properly again.

Can't fax from 8600 printer

Recently changed to VOIP and printer no longer faxes. Have to scan and attach everything.

Hello @Lowellavery,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since switching to a VOIP phone line you have not been able to fax with your HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to offer assistance today with resolving this issue.
Now, just so you are aware, faxing is old analog technology. Nowadays phone companies use digital lines. Digital lines are OK to use, but there is a lot more static noise and interference on those lines that cause fax communication issues. Also, the transmission rates on digital lines is much faster than analog. The faster transmission speeds can cause fax packets to be lost. This loss in fax packets will also result in fax communication issues. While the fax machines are designed for use with traditional analog phone services, there are settings that we can adjust on your fax machine to eliminate as much interference on your VOIP line as possible. Please follow the steps below to adjust the fax settings.
Step 1: Turn OFF Error Correction Mode:
On the printer control panel, touch the Right Arrow ().
Touch Setup ().
Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Advanced Fax Setup.
Touch the Down Arrow (), touch Error Correction Mode, and then touch OFF.
Touch the Home icon () to return to the main menu.
Step 2: Slow down the Fax Speed:
On the printer control panel, touch the Right Arrow ().
Touch Setup ().
Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Advanced Fax Setup.
Touch the Down Arrow (), touch Fax Speed, and then touch Slow.
Touch the Home icon () to return to the main menu.
Once these two settings have been adjusted, please try faxing again. Should faxing still fail, please make sure that you're using the 2-wire fax cable that came with your printer.
Once you have the correct fax cable, plug the cable into the rear of your printer in line-1. Plug the other end of the cable directly into the modem that was provided for your VOIP services.
Once the cable is connected please run the Fax Test.
Load U.S. Letter or A4-sized plain white paper into the tray.
On the printer control panel, touch the Right Arrow ().
Touch Setup ().
Touch Tools, and then touch Run Fax Test. The printer displays the status of the test, and then prints a report.
Review the report. Please check the report for any 'Fails'

Can't print from Win XP Laptop

I have an Airport Extreme connected to a G5 running 10.5.5.
One of the reasons I got the Airport Extreme was the belief that I could print from my laptop, running XP, wirelessly. I've installed Bonjour. The manual said to follow the on screen instructions, but there were none. When I launch the utility it does see my network, but not the printer. I have the printer plugged directly into the Airport Extreme.
I normally have the printer plugged directly into the Mac because when I have it plugged into the AE I can't print at all.
I do have a SonicWall installed as well.
The imac is connected to the AE via Ethernet.
Any suggestions?

Finally got this resolved...at least for today by uninstalling bonjour and reinstalling.

Officejet 6000 computer connected to windows 7. Can't print from windows XP laptop

Printer connected by USB to the Windows 7 desktop. Printing is fine. I have both computers on the same workgroup network, file sharing is ok. My laptop finds the printer on the network, but there is apparently a driver problem. The disc that came with the printer will only install on XP and Vista, so downloaded the drivers for the new windows 7 desktop. I either get a "Failed to Print" message or "The handle is invalid". When I tried to connect with the printer through network sharing, and tried to open it, I was told the wrong drivers were located on the server. It looked for a file with *.inf. Do I hve the wrong drivers on the desktop or do I need to install the drivers on the laptop? I never had this problem with my old Vista desktop.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If it is not wireless it is USB connected. So you need to choose USB connected and let the program do it's thing. Are you trying to share the printer from the desktop to the laptop? If yes, just go to Add Printer and follow the instruction. Make sure File and Print Sharing is enabled on the desktop.

How do I access my CC files using Lightroom 5 so that I can edit photos from desktop or laptop

Very frustrated. I am not sure if this is a question about 'syncing' (since it's apparently not available to everyone - though this wasn't mentioned when they sold me on their subscription), about 'work flow' (what ever that means), 'catalogs', 'libraries', 'collections', 'folders", 'importing' or 'exporting'.
All I want to do it to be able to move from my desktop in one room to my laptop in another (or on the road) and be able to open up and edit the same group of photos that I managed earlier to upload into files on the <files> section of the CC panel. I watched a vdeo about 'syncing' using CC for Photoshop but I think this is for presets. Which begs the question, can you do the same for lightroom 5 presets?
In looking at my screen with the CC panel on it and clicking on <Files> so that I am sure I am typing about the correct features, I now see that the 3 file folders of photos I dragged and dropped into it earlier today is now missing my files and is displaying a message that says "Coming Soon: Creative Cloud will sync files between the cloud and your desktop". Where did my files go?
Now I am even more frustrated.
My questions are now:
1) How do I access the cloud, where my files should be, when using only Lightroom?
2) Do I have to import photos into Lightroom on one of my 2 computers first, then transfer them to the cloud, before I can also access them on the other machine?
I am not sure if this information matters, but I switch between a desktop and a laptop throughout the week. Both are Windows. I also use an external harddrive to store my photos on. It would be nice if I didn't have to unplug the damn thing and carry it with me from location to location.
Thanks in advance.

So, in short, is there a simple way , without opening iphoto, to do a logical path such as HD, pictures, iphoto, iphoto library and then BAM! just see all my files?
In short - no.
If you are using iPhoto to manage your photos for you, use iPhoto to retrieve them.
There are many user-friendy ways to access photos in iPhoto, but if you simply want a set of nested folders with photos, don't import your photos to iPhoto.
See Terence Devlin's User Tip on how to access photos in iPhoto and get the most out of iPhoto:
