Can't print when in secure network mode

I have a WRT 300N router.  I can print when I am not in security mode, but cannot when the router is secured.  Using a HP Deskjet 3050A printer

How is the printer connected?  Wirelessly?  If yes, you need to set up the proper password on the printer so it can connect to your router.  Please read the printers manual on how to do this.

  • Am I safe using a wireless printer on my secure network?

    Just installed my first wireless printer on my laptop through my network.   Seemed to go ok.  Is there a security risk using the WPA button where other users could also connect to my network. I ended up using the connect to my computer option when it failed.  Is there any risk to using my printer to print online bank statements? Basically, How secure am I.
    I do figure its risky connecting to an un-secured network such as a hot spot or hotel network when not at home.
    If this is a repeat question I don't want to be a nuisance.  Please let me know the link and I'll read through.  I'm new to these wireless hardware hookups other than bluetooth speakers and such.
    I spoke to one knowledgable person and he said unless someone knows the key they can't access it. At the same time he said to make sure the software is always up to date for the most protection.  Why do I need protection if it can't be accessed???
    Thanks
    ps what's this about message tags??? Can you tell that I'm new

  • Ibook G4 having  problem with airport connection when using secure network

    Hi,
    I am currently using a brand new Macbook. I am connected wirelessly to a Comcast network through my Netgear Wireless-N 150 router model WNR 1000. The problem I am having is with the 4 year old ibook when I go to use the airport and connect to my existing network it says the password is incorrect. I spent time troubleshooting this with Netgear and basically we found out that the ibook does connect with the network when there is no security at all.
    I erased the hard drive on this ibook to prepare it for sale and it is back to the factory settings. Is there some kind of firmware or drivers I am missing to use the airport as described?? I want to be able to show the buyer that the internet works etc. I also may want to install a few things on the ibook before the sale.
    Thanks a mil

    Did you reset the wireless router to see if by default, it has a different
    wireless security then, than however it presently is set up?
    The question you pose appears to be marked "answered or solved."
    When you reinstall an OS X, the setup asks if you have an existing
    wireless connection, or if you will be getting a new one; by default,
    the setup will make the existing one the automatic one for OS X.
    You should not have to add passwords or other, unless there has
    been one set in KeyChain or for the specific wireless base in question.
    Tiger 10.4.x does not require you to have a set password for wi-fi,
    but you will find several levels of secure options available in OS X.
    Not sure why your setup and configuration is problematic. Usually,
    a totally new OS X installation is without issue. Sometimes, you
    may have to administer a base station via Ethernet cable before
    some configurations can use it, but an existing network should be
    easy, unless it already has a password security in place.
    The Mac will work without a password-protected wi-fi internet source;
    often it will 'just work' even when moved to a new environment and
    a neighbor's network, if not password protected, will appear among
    other options in your vicinity and it will be automatically available.
    Not sure if any newer OS X update parts, from the Combo update
    files to take Tiger 10.4 to 10.4.11, plus others, would help the Mac
    connect better to whatever wireless source of internet available.
    I've not had that issue, as you state, except for when someone has
    a protected network or passwords in place. Mine has passwords to
    keep unauthorized neighbors from easy access; just in case.
    In remote locations where few neighbors exist who could access wi-fi
    from a lone source, no wireless security settings at all, work just fine.
    I've done that; and found a little greater range was gained in signals.
    And in the city (largest town in state) a computer I'd set up for use in
    a password protected wi-fi network - later worked fine and found the
    new owner's own wi-fi network without issues; and I had let the OSX
    setup assistant do its job. If a local network is protected by WEP or
    WPA2, etc with a password, one would be needed to access it. If not,
    then the connection should be automatic.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Can't print to a windows networked Gestetner printer

    I can not print to a printer on a Windows server. I am connected to the server and can see other printers on Appletalk and Bonjour.
    I can see the Gestetner Dsc535 multifunction printer unders "Windows Printing" in the printer set up utility.
    I get as far as setting it up and selecting the driver I downloaded for the Gestetner Dsc535 but when I print all that comes out are pages of what looks like a Hex Dump?
    I seem to be able to send some sort of data to the printer but it isn't printing.
    I am connected to the network through my Airport Express and can print to the HP printers in the office network by IP, Appletalk and Bonjour.
    I have read on the Gestetner web page that a Fiery set up might be needed. Can i use the Fiery driver that came with the OS?
    At a complete loss here as is the Admin personal (all windows I a the only Macintosh)
    Help.
    Macbook-Intel 2 Ghz 1gig RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    What you call hex dump is likely postscript code. The printer has an optional postscript card - maybe you don't have that card. Manufacturers assume Mac users will buy the add-in card, so the driver downloads are always for the postscript version.
    The printer is also HP-compatible (uses HPs PCL page language). You should be able to print using the generic driver "HP Laserjet 6 Series Gimp-Print," included in OS X.

  • Can't print from (only) one networked computer

    We have multiple desktops and laptops in our home network. We print to a wireless-network-connected HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer. We are able to print from multiple computers to the printer but from one laptop we cannot. I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor on the problem laptop; it finds the printer but when it tries to connect it says the printer is not connected. However on two other machines (both desktops as it happens) I can connect and print no problem. The problem laptop is running Windows 7.  Any thoughts on why the one laptop won't connect to the networked printer? (That laptop is connecting to the wireless network per se with no problem; I downloaded an updated Print and Scan Doctor from HP Support for example.)

    Hello Swegnson.
    I understand your concerns using your Photosmart C7280. Please follow these steps to connect your printer on your Windows 7 computer:
    1) Go into your Devices and Printers, right click on your printer, and select remove device
    2) Next, Click on your Start Menu
    3) Click on the HP folder
    4) Click on the Photosmart C7280
    5) Click on add a device, then add a new printer
    6) Click on wireless and follow the instructions
    (Make sure you turn off any Firewalls or Anti-Virus running on your computer.)
    Please let me know at this point, if your printer is unable to connect wireless.
    Once you have your printer connected, please follow this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please inform me your troubleshooting steps.
    Looking forward to hear from you.

  • HP officejet Pro 8000 Can't print when color cart is empty enven when printing in grey scale

    I do not use color in my printing.  Nonetheless when the printer says my color cartdridge is empty I can not print.  I spent a $100 on color cartdridge and never used them.  They now show empy and I can't print.  Is there a work around or should I just junk this printer.  Thanks for your help.
    Bob

    Hello Bobmcclammy,
    I can understand the frustration when the printer, in your case the Officejet Pro 8000, stops and tells you to change inks you are not even using. I too have fought with this in the past. Unfortunately, there is no "work around" for such an issue, at least that I have been able to find.
    Even when printing black text only, for example, a resume, the printer will be using a subtle amount of color as a base. Printhead maintenance also will chip away at the ink, this is to ensure the ink is not drying up within the print system. This information will explain more: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers.
    What I have done in order to get the most out of the printer ink is, set the printer in a black only grey scale mode. This needs to be set in the printing preferences in the print driver installed on the computer.
    The inks will still need to be replaced, but it should help for the future.

  • HP PSC 2410 - can only print when document contains a color besides B & W..

    Sorry, I got only crickets chirping on this over at "Tiger printing". Thought someone here might have insight w/ the user account "smoking gun" element. Background...
    It has been frustrating since the update 10.4.7 "broke" my printing ease (it did, for whatever reason).
    By accident, I finally discovered that if a text document from any program contains a color (if no color, B&W, it will not print --juts spits out blank pages) it will print when set to grayscale or color. So I have to convert any B & W documnt to a color and it will print (whether I set to gray scale or color --weird).
    I created a new user account for a test, and it printed black text in "TextEdit" --okay, good, helps me narrow it down, right? So then I followed these instructions from another thread here:
    "If a new user does not have the problem, then chances are it is a file in the user library. Reset the printing system, and go through and delete the com.apple.print... preference files and everything in the Printers folder. Reinstall the printer and see if that does it."
    Tried it and it didn't work...
    Weeks ago, I went through days and days w/ HP support through e-mail, as they would hand it off from one tech to another. Non officially they just sorta gave up on my case (I know I'm not the only one as my buddy has the same issue). I have installed their new driver, etc. I've been through many many steps of deleting this and that, but nothing worked. In all that time they never suggested the new user account. I was holding onto hope that 10.4.8. might help. Nope.
    I'm hoping someone smarter than me will identify what I need to do next, a the above didn't help. Obviously the user account stuff is reavealing something in my account (a pref?) is not playing nice w/ the HP printer Thanks.
    T i m

    Didn't notice anything here on 10.4.8 intel with the latest drivers that it did not print some things, but did notice that when i print almost 100% cpu is used to do it.
    Remove all stuff, Try installing latest 'drivers' again (see hp.com) and tell if it is still there.
    If so: please tell what os, what mac.

  • Can't print from MAC on network

    HP PSC 1410 connected to a Lenovo running Windows Vista.  Printer is shared on the network.  Print job from MAC gets into print queue on Vista machine.  Status goes from Spooling to Printing but then goes to Error - Printing.  Can print from other Windows machines on the network.

    Hello @jerseyjim119!
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
    From what I understand it sounds like you are trying send the print job from the Mac to the printer shared through the Vista computer. From what I can find you can only share the printer with a Mac on the network using USB into a AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station.  Do you have your printer plugged into one of those Base Stations?  Here is a link regarding Setting Up Your HP Printer on a Network with Apple AirPort.
    I am unable to locate any other way to share this printer on the network through a Windows operating system to a Mac computer and I am not too sure if that connection is supported.  For any further assistance I recommend contacting our phone support.  Please call our technical support at 1-800-474-6836.

  • I can't connect to a secure network on my G3 iBook

    Hello, I'm running Mac OS 9.2 on a Tangerine iBook with an Airport card.
    I can't connect to any of the secured / password protected networks that I can set up with my AirPort Express (WEP, WPA2 Personal, WPA/WPA2).
    I CAN connect to the network (and the Internet) **if** I set up an unsecured network on my AirPort Express (which I don't want to do).
    Does anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Mobile account can't login when connected to network

    I have a 10.6.3 mobile account set up on a laptop that's bound to an AD domain. The mobile account creation worked great, as expected, and the user was fine for a few days.
    Then the user reported that he was no longer able to log in to his mobile account. After troubleshooting a bit, I noticed that if he's NOT connected to the company LAN where the AD domain is located, he can login fine. But if I connect him to the company LAN, the machine complains that his password is wrong (and we've reset the password in AD, so we know it's correct). So if I flip him back off the network, his login works again.
    There are many other mobile accounts working on this same LAN that aren't having this problem.
    Anyone seen this or know what I might try?
    Thanks.

    Trying turning on DirectoryServices debugging and see if you can scare up any more data:
    sudo killall -USR1 DirectoryService
    Then monitor
    /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.debug.log
    Even without debugging, you might want to look at
    /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.error.log
    and
    /Library/Logs/DirectoryService/DirectoryService.server.log

  • Can no longer print over my wireless network

    We haven't changed our drivers for a month or so, but suddenly we can't print over our home network any more.
    We have a Canon MP500 connected by USB to an Intel iMac, which acts as a print server (as long as it's awake). Usually it's quite happy to print over our network from either our MacBook or MacBook Pro.
    What's happening now is that it says it's printing but then doesn't. There is no explicit error message. It says 'print job accepted - printing'.

    Thanks. It turns out the problem is indeed some kind of conflict between the driver of the MP500 and CD-LabelPrint, a Canon program which it uses to print discs.
    What was happening was that when I tried to print over the network onto a DVD the blockage occurred, with everything just hanging. Connecting directly by USB did the job, but the queue on the iMac (to which the printer is connected by USB) remained blocked. I had previously tried deleting and re-adding the printer on the MBP which had sent the job, but now I've done the same on the iMac and that's worked.
    What a hassle - so much for Canon's driver update :roll:

  • WRE54G does not recongize WRT100 when WRT100 network mode is set to Mixed

    The only time that WRE54 makes a connection to the WRT100 is when the Wireless Network Mode (under Wirless Settings) is set to BG-MIXED and the Standard Channel is identified.
    If you selete MIXED for the Network mode all other setting within the WRT100 are set to auto and the WRG54 does not make a connection to the WRT100. So if you have a mixed enivorment with N B and G. The WRE54 will be useless.
    Currently the expander does make a connection to the WRT100 when the Network Mode is set to BG-Mixed and the Standard Channel is identified.
    Any Updates that will correct this commmunication problem would be benificial. So the one could have a truely mixed environment.

    Hi Scrooge,
    I have both pieces of hardware to the newest firmware. I tried your settings, however the WRE54G did not connect to WRT100.  To reduce the amount of typing I didn't include Wireless --> Advance Wireless Settings within my note, I ensure you though I did exactly as you suggested.
    On the WRT100
    Wireless --> Basic Wirless Settings
    Network Mode is Mixed
    Network Name (SSID): HAM
    Radio Band: Auto - 20/40Mhz Channel
    Wide Channel: Auto

    Please note that the filter Anonymous Internet Requests  is not checked.
    The WRE54G connects to WRT100 with these settings:
