Can't get WRT45G to network w/ HP C5180 scanner/printer

When I press the "scan to computer" option on the device I receive error "network connection error". If I attempt to scan from within HP solution center I get error "unexpected error has occurred". I am able to scan from within the web interface to the printer at http://hpec5967.
If I go to settings->network settings within the solution center, everything appears to be normal and working properly. If i go to settings->status within the solution center it says "hp Photosmart disconnected". I am also able to print from the computer with no problems.
I have taken the following steps:
--Uninstalled and reinstalled the software multiple times
--Ensured that no software firewalls on my computer were interfering with communications
--Familiarized myself with this document and attempted to forward all the ports listed to both my computer and device IP. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00654095#lc=en#cc=us#dlc=en#product=1153481#rule=41508#lang=en
--Updated my router firmware (Linksys WRT45G) and ensured that everything was working properly from that standpoint.
--Downloaded the diagnostic program for this product and ensured I have all green check marks
The two interesting things about this issue are that
1. I can scan properly from the scanner to my computer using the application within the web interface
2. I can print properly
Any suggestions?Message Edited by scdavis0 on 03-06-200711:17 PM

Hi… You are able to print and scan from that printer/ scanner because it is a network printer/scanner that works on IP addresses. Where windows’ level sharing is on the NetBIOS/ Workgroup (names) based. So there is something wrong in the nomenclature of the computers and workgroups. The thump rule this is the PC/devices names should be unique and workgroup should be common to all. Just check these settings on all the computers.

Hi,
Unfortunately any HP Software component (HP Toolbox, HP Scan, etc.) for this product support 32-bit envoirnment only.
As you may find by the User Guide, only basic Print and Scan drivers provided for 64-bit (Page 14):

AirPort Time Capsule. Read everything and tried everything. Can't get a guest network to work. Switched from bridge mode and still doesn't work. Anyone able to set up a guest network?

I had a bright house cable modem that also had built-in wi-fi.
Don't mean to be picky here, but if the "modem" had built in Wi-Fi, it was not a modem. It was a modem/router, also known as a gateway type of device.
A device like this combines the functions of a separate modem and separate router in one package. Turning off the wireless on a device like this does not make a it modem.....it is still a modem/router or gateway with the WiFi turned off.
I think that if I have them replace the current "complicated" modem with a "simple" one I should be able to get the guest network up and running.
That would be correct. Hopefully, they offer this type of option for their customers.

How can friends get on my network????

I have an airport extreme base station set up with a 128 bit WEP password. All of the computers in my house (all mac) are able to connect to the network with no problems, as well as connect to the shared printer that's hooked to the airport. But when friends come over to my house with their windows laptop, they can not get on my network. What do I need to do? I reset my network password, so I know I am giving them the correct password to enter. One friend's laptop asks for the WEP key, not the password.
Help - I'm feeling quite ignorant here. Is there something that I need to do on my end to allow them to access the network? I am out of ideas, and have not been successful.

In mucking about since I posted this question, I found essentially the same info. Still didn't work. Not sure why, though - it looked like entering the WEP key (ie, equivalent network password) was all it would take - but the laptop still wouldn't connect.

Can i get a social networking plan with an iphone?

i have the choice to get a new phone, iphone or blackberry. but i want twitter and facebook when i am not in a wifi area.
can i get a social networking plan like i canw ith a blackberry?

I live in New Zealand, so don't know.... but
Data plans (and a social networking plan is essentially a data plan limited to a few services) are run by phone networks, not handset manufacturers.
So there is no reason that there would not be a data plan, or social network plan that could be available.
My phone company gives free data to facebook, so it may be possible.
You shoudl contact the phone company who sells the iPhone.
Or buy an unlocked iPhone (not sure if you can in Canada, here we can), and then choose a phone company seperatly.
This is what I did.

Set the System property "mail.mime.decodeparameters" to "true" to enable the RFC 2231 support.
See the javadocs for the javax.mail.internet package for the list of properties.
Yes, the FAQ entry should contain those details as well.

Dear sweet Apples, that know all the answers...
I can't get a proper connection to my Epson R1800 printer. I get the basics , but I need to be able to choose paper sizes and paper Types.
It keeps saying that the downloads went fine, but then it says that the System/Library/Extensions cannot be used because SMC1255TX.kext
isn't working. My downloads are useless as a result

Did you restart the printer?

How can I get my ipad2 with os5 to Kodak wireless printer esp9.

How can I get my ipad2 with os5 to Kodak wireless printer esp9.

Airprint won't work with the Kodak printers because Kodak does not support Airprint. You'll need to check in the App store to see if Kodak makes a printing app for the iPad. Otherwise, there are a number of third party printing apps. People have used Printopia, Print n Share, and Print Central with good results.

OS 10.3.9 and Windows 2003 Server - Can't get to the network

My company just up graded from a Windows 2000 to a Windows 2003 server. I am lone Mac user. Yesterday, with Windows 2000, I had no trouble accessing several drives on the server. Now with this upgrade, I can't log on to any of the drives.
The IT folks are not that Mac savvy and they've tried a few things regarding security, but they're lost, and haven't found anything from Microsoft that helps. And I know nothing about networking. I've tried searching Apple but can't find anything specific to this problem. I can print to all the networked printers, just can't get to the drives.
Is there something we're missing here? Something in my System Preferences that we needed to adjust first?
Thanks.

New internet provider (moved from Comcast to Uverse) and I can't get my new network to stay put, and I can't get my Time Capsule to stop blinking yellow

I have moved from Comcast to Uverse, and can't get my TIme Capsule to stop blinking yellow. I know it isn't updating. Additionally, I can't get my computer to recognize the 'new' wireless network. It keeps changing back to the 'old' network.

You have two separate issues here. although both were created with the recent changes on your network.
Find out why the Time Capsule is blinking amber as follows:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click directly on the the Time Capsule icon
Click directly on the amber dot....and another window will open to explain more about the issue...along with suggested actions that you can take to remedy the issue.
If you want your Mac to connect first to the "new" network....
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Network
Click on WiFi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Make sure that the name of the network that you want the Mac to connect to first appears at the top of the connection order list. Drag the name to the top if it is not there now.
Click OK
Click Apply
Now your Mac will attemp to connect first to the network that you positioned at the top of the connection order list.

Yes, you have to carry the device if you want to use it.
and also why is there lots of different networks on my ipod which i can't get access without having a password?
Because there are many personnel wifi networks around. It seems that most households have one. The assign a password for two main reason;
- To not allow other users to steal their internet connection
- To help prevent outside users from gaining access to their computer.

How can I get a report with total number of pages printed on my HP Officejet Pro 8610?

Since knowing the number of pages I print is so critical to a choice of using the "HP Instant Ink Plan" or not, how can I find the total number of pages I have printed on my brand-new (installed 2 days ago) 8610? And if I can, is it a "resettable" or rolling total? Don't see anything in user guide and a search yields nothing usable on this blog.
Printer is installed wirelessly on an older PC with Windows XP SP3. I can also of course intstall it with network cable but so far it works OK on my home network without network cable. If it matters which OS, I also have a Lenovo laptop running Vista on which I can install this printer.
Please do not respond that I can find the total by counting the number of pieces of paper I have. Surely the internals of this fine machine must have the requested data so that HP can tell my usage if I select the monthly ink plan!
This 8610 was a good buy (net $89.00 after trade-in of my six year old J36xx Deskjet) at Office Depot/Max which of course influenced my decision to buy it. So far I am very happy with printing qualities and speed, have not tried the scanner yet and will probably never use the fax since I have no land line phone.
Thanks,
Harry

Hi,
Section #2 of the Printer Ststus report will tell you. Please try:
Printer status report
Use the printer status report to view current printer information and ink cartridge status. Also use the printer status report to help you troubleshoot problems with the printer.
The printer status report also contains a log of recent events.
If you need to call HP, it is often useful to print the printer status report before calling.
To print the Printer Status Report
1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
2. Touch Print Reports and then touch Printer Status Report.
Regards.
