Can't print with adhoc network for HP 7780 all-in-one

Operating system is Windows Vista 32 bit.
Downloaded full driver software from HP site and installed it OK with wired connection to printer.  All works fine in this mode.
Now I want to do wireless printing via an adhoc network called MYNetwork that I generated on my computer with WEP security.  The printer detected the network, I put in the 5-digit password on the printer control panel, and the network was then connected.  It shows connected on my computer also.
So  now I am connected to the adhoc network, what are the next steps to make the printer show "online" and to actually print wirelessly?  I really feel dumb asking this, as  the answer must be simple.  PLEASE Help!!
Note that I have completely disconnected the wired connection from the printer to the computer.
Thanks,
Garry

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

  • Can't set up wireless connection for HP C4385 All-In-One with Windows 7.

    Hi guys,
    I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I already had an HP C4385 All-In-One that I was using with my last computer. I have also just set up a new wireless network because I got a new cable provider. So basically I needed to do everything from the beginning.
    When I inserted the setup CD and ran the setup program, it said I couldn't continue because my OS was not supported. I went to the HP website and found the solution, which was to plug the printer in via USB and let Windows Update find the latest driver. Ok, that's fine, the printer works now when the USB cord is plugged in.
    To set up the wireless connection, the instruction manual says I need to do it through the network setup wizard p on the CD. But that brings me back to my original problem-- the setup CD won't work because it doesn't recognise Windows 7.
    So my question is-- how can I update the network settings (SSID and key) on the printer without the network setup wizard?
    Thanks for any help, this is really driving me crazy!

  • Can't print wirelessly from iMac to HP 8600 all-in-one

    A few weeks ago, I purchased a HP 8600 basic printer and setup it up to my two iMacs and to the router (cisco brand).
    I haven't really printed with it since I have gotten it, which did print when I tested it at first. Now I can't print wireless from either iMac (one iMac is ver. 10.9 and the other is ver. 10.8). Both my computers and printer are connected to my router, but when I go to print something the printer dialog box tells me: "the printer is not connected."
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

  • Unable To Print Over Ethernet Network on HP 6520 all in one

    All computers are on windows 8.1. My question or issue is this: Prior to purchasing a Mediabridge wireless router, wireless-n broadband 300 mps router, I had a Zyxtel wireless access point router. I am both Ethernet and wireless. Prior to the Mediabridge I would network print to my HP printer both wireless (iPhone) and over an Ethernet network (PC's and Laptop).
    There is an improvement in printing wirelessly on an iPhone. I cannot print over my Ethernet network any longer. I have to unplug my laptop prior to printing before my laptop can see the printer online. With my second PC in another room I am unable to print over the Ethernet network. The printers are installed, drivers and such, but as with the laptop, I would have to unplug the Ethernet cord to print.
    My error messages are showing as cannot find printer or or my control panel printer devices show as offline. If I unplug my laptop I can see the printers online. However I don't want to have to take disconnect a second PC in another room to print.
    Can you offer any suggestions. Do I need to plug my printer directly into the Mediabridge wireless router?
    Nancy

     Hi Nancyh1030,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Photosmart 6520 Printer and getting the error and not printing. Here is a link to the HP Print and Scan Doctor. The HP Print and Scan Doctor will run a check on your system and connect the printer to same network as the computer. You do have to be connected to the same wireless as the printer to print to it. Unless you are using Eprint. If this does not help you contact Mediabridge.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I print from my ipad2 to my hp6210 all in one using printopia...I can see the list on my ipad2, I select the printer and say print but nothing happens.

    How can I print from my ipad2 to my hp 6210 all in one using printopia? I see my printer on my iPad, I select it and say print and nothing happens. The printer is connected to an older Mac with OS X 10.4.11 but I do have an imac in another room. I have trouble printing from the iMac to this printer also even tho share is on but the printer works fine with the old Mac it's connected to. My iPad has the latest iOS.

    A few things to consider.
    The computer Printopia is loaded on must be powered on and must be able to print on the printer that is being shared.  If the iMac is having problems printing to the printer it could indicate a problem with the share setup.

  • Can you print double sided on a HP photosmart all in one plus e-B210a

    Hi, I hope someone can help, I'm having trouble printing double sided on this printer, does anyone know how this can be done.

    As best I can tell, this printer does not have automatic duplex printing available. You need to print the even pages, turn them upside down and reinsert them and print the odd pages, using Paper Handling in the Print dialog. You may need to print in reverse order when printing the even pages, as I recall. It has been a while since I had a printer without automatic duplexing. It is a feature which I insist upon.

  • Can't print to ethernet networked printer... suddenly!

    Today, for some reason I can't print to our networked printer, a Kyocera FS-6950DN laser. All I am getting now is a 'Network host is busy, will retry in 10/15 secs' and the job just holds.
    So, what have I tried. To eleminate any printer issues I have successful managed to print direct from my MacBook (also running OSX 10.6.8) without a problem. So the printer seems fine. However, if a connect directly (again via a single ethernet cable) to my MacPro it won't print. I have deleted the printer and created a new one. Actually, I have done this several times. When I go to create a new printer I can see the printer listed a a bonjour printer. I select it, then I use 'generic postcript'.  I can choose the my printer here, but I seem to remember that this was a problem when I set it up originally and I was advised to use the generic option. I click add and that used to work. But not now. I have checked that the printer has a static ip address and it does. I have also tried adding the printer as an IP printer and adding the IP address etc maually, but again this doesn't work. I've tried this both with LPD set or IPP set. I get the same busy error message.
    Trawling the net I have noticed lots of people with Kyocera print issues relating to the latest OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 update. Although having succesfully printed from my MacBook that would suggest that 10.6.8 isn't the issue in my case.
    Any help or pointers in the right diection would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks – Roy
    I should also say that I have done the usual... repaired the permissions and reset the PRAM etc. I have ping tested the connection from my MacPro and there is a response from the printer. It's just not finding the printer when I send the job to print?

    Managed to fix this by changing the ip address on the printer. It seems that the address was out of range for our new router. Changed the printers static address back to something within range and the printer bust into life. Simple as that. Only took me a day and a half to work it out... : )
    If you have similar issues I hope that my post is helpful.

  • Can not Print with HP LaserJet 5000 and Epson AcuLaser C9100

    I am using MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with Mac OS X (10.6.6)
    I already install the latest print driver from the Apple Software Update website.
    The driver for HP is Ver. 17.5 & for Epson is Ver. 5.2
    I connect two of the printer to my Belkin Surf N300 wireless N Router with ethernet cable.
    The error when print to HP LaserJet 5000 is as follow:-
    Unable to get printer status (Not Implemented)!
    Network host 'x.x.x.x' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
    This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
    The error when print to Epson AcuLaser C9100 is as follow:-
    Printer not responding
    This error can stay forever if I do not delete the print job
    Previously I can print with my emac with OS X 10.4.10, but now I can not print with 2 of my printer.
    My 2 printer are in good condition, so this is not the printer problem.
    Please, do anyone know how to fix this problem fast, because I need to use this two printer for my business.
    Thanks in advance.

    That is not what Greg needs to know. That is just the way that the IP addresses are assigned to the printers.
    Your problem is probably that the printers were probably originally found by AppleTalk. AppleTalk is not included in Snow Leopard. If the printers support Bonjour, they should be found that way. Otherwise, you have to use other methods.
    How did you add your printers on the new computer? If you delete them from Print & Fax, how would you add them again?

  • Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time

    Hi,
    Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time, and the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger. The transfer bytes per second between master and slave is 118MB/s , upper limit to the ethernet card. Why???
    ENVIRONMENT:
    1. A network program which we called mcdb is based on BDB 4.8.30. It is used to accept get/set requests and then query data from bdb or save data to bdb.
    2. mcdb implements replication with bdb replication manager api. The default start replication policy is DB_REP_ELECTION, rep ack policy is DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER and rep priority is 100.
    3. The bdb data files, bdb log files, region files and rep files are all in the same home directory.
    4. There are two instances of the mcdb are separately on two standalone servers which has no other programs. These two instances are in one replication group which can elect a master automatically.
    5. The master instance is online, which has lots of requests (get, set, delete).
    ACTIONS:
    1. Start two mcdb instances on two servers and the two instance make a replication group. Slave has already synchronized with the master.
    2. Stop the slave for a long time (more than 20 hours).
    3. Start the slave instance to synchronize data with master.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this issue is beyond the level of what is supported over the forum. Performance related issues are extremely complex and require an in-depth understanding of your environment and dedicated support. In a generic sense, you can look at this as a basic queueing problem. You have a server that went down and work is still coming in. When the server gets started it is possible that it may never catch up depending on new work coming in and the rate at processing the old work.
    So what would you do in this case --- one thing would be to reduce the new work coming in. In HA terms this would be slowing the master down and you can increase DB_REP_ACK_TIMEOUT for this. Another thing you could do is add fresh servers to help reduce the workload. In HA terms, this would be the equivalent of restarting the client and give it a fresh look at everything. Another thing you could do is replan the system and load balance. In HA terms, it would mean something like take a hot backup of the master and reinit a client from scratch.
    If you are interested in getting a dedicated support person working on this concern, please let me know and we can move forward down that path. Just respond to the thread with your email address and I will get in contact with you so we can pursue that approach.
    thanks

  • Printing with PSE 8 for Mac

    Hi,
    hope some of you may give me some help.
    Have tried to print with PSE 8 for Mac, but in the printing options there is none where i can choose the type of paper (ie: glossy, premium glossy....).
    My printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400.
    It works fine with iPhoto, here i can choose paper type. And prints come out fine.
    Thanks for any advice,
    dangerly

    My printer is a Canon so not entirely sure if this helps but when I print from PSE 8 I do not get to choose the media type until I have clicked on the print button in the PSE dialog box. I am then presented with the dialog box for my printer where I can set the media type amongs other attributes.
    It is normal for the media type to be the job of the printer driver so perhaps it is the same for your printer.

  • How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)

    How can I print with a wider left margin in Preview? (OSX 10.5)
    To punch Binder Holes.
    Should be easy ... Make a Custom page with a wider left margin ... easy to set up, but it does not actually work for any printer I am connected to.
    Info so far:
    Found an older post from 2002 ... "Make a custom page"
    Mac Help has a limited, simple, incomplete answer: "Make a custom page"
    Tried three printers. One Postscript Level 3 One Level 2 and one non postscript
    Switching between page types in the drop down shows a change in the print preview, and the floating information shows the correct page size and larger left margin... but the "Custom Page Size" does not show a larger left margin, in the preview, no mater how it is set.
    There also appear to be a relation ship between the radio Buttons for scale and the margin settings.
    Test prints have simply cut off the left side of the document, and scaled the document from the right side in and the top down.
    Printing a PDF from Preview
    MacBook Pro
    OSX 10.5.6
    Thanks
    Peter

    Thanks ... tried the Paper Handling, but no lock.
    Based on the fact that any scaling, "moves" the image down and to the left on the paper ...
    Th only "work around" solution is to ...
    Rotate the PDF page 180, then scale slightly (90% or so ...)
    This pushes the upside down page, down and to the left.
    While this is the opposite of what is desired, the print is then correct when
    it is punched and placed into a three ring binder.
    Assumption is the application that creates the documnt, needs to have the paper margins set. The reality is, an application like Preview, that does not "create anything", needs to handle existing documents PDF, JPEG and print to Custom Page configurations.
    ie: In Preview, Custom Page does not work correctly,
    Thanks allfor the comments and help ...
