Cannot complete wireless setup for Officejet 4500 G510n using HP Installer

Hi, 
I hope someone can help me with this problem.
I bought an Officejet 4500 G510n and all was working fine on my old MacBook laptop. I have recently switched to a MacBook Air running OS X 10.8 and I can no longer connect wirelessly to this printer.
I have tried the following:
- resetting printer settings from OS X "Preferences" using USB cable.
- disconnecting USB cable to printer.
- downloading and installing the latest software drivers for OS X 10.8
- reconnect USB cable to printer to start printer setup.
The problem arrises when I am performing the set-up task:
- Screen shows invalid network details and gives me no option to continue.... only to go back to the previous page. I am stuck with no options at the moment.
Attached is the screen-shot of what I'm seeing. 
Any help would be very grateful.
John

From what you describe, you are using a USB cable but the information displayed there is for wireless. What you would want to do is install the printer using the USB cable and selecting USB installation, then use the software to complete the USB to Wireless conversion.
Either this, or you can set up the printer on your wireless network using the wireless setup wizard and then install using Networked - Wireless as the installation type.
Happy Holidays!

  • Firmware upgrade for Officejet 4500 G510n-z

    Please. i need the firmware upgrade for Officejet 4500 G510n-z or at the original firmware. my machine is acting uncommon. The paper feeder process start and page stop in the middle.
    thanks for all your help.

    Yes, there should have been either a firmware update/patch, or a full recall on this device. 
    The software setup and configuration is bad enough for one humble computer, but when used as
    intended with multiple devices it's an absolute headache. 
    I am constantly having to unplug the printer because the machine has decided it needs to rest for a bit. Okay,
    everybody deserves a break now and then. But it goes into coma mode and I could be jesus himself and the power
    or any other button) still would not wake it. 
    I would get into the rest but I'm not getting a helpful vibe from the forum; it's more defensive of a product which, apparently just under 5000 people have come by to check on. My friend at Microsoft talked to an HP engineer, who
    laughed and gave us the fix. 
    Uploading to FedEx-Kinko's is the better option. 

  • Link to Windows 8.1 Printer (Fax, Copy and Scan) Drivers for OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z

    Hello:
    Need to know where I can find updated drivers for my OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z printer.   I am using Windows 8.1 operating system.
    I have tried using the link at HP, but at the point that it supposedly gets to the install window, it asks me to insert the disc that came with the printer.  When I do that, I still get an error message saying something like "the link cannot be found."  I also get another message at some pont indicating that the full version needs to be uploaded.  Then, the same process starts all over again.   I should add that the printer disc says that it is compatible with XP, Windows 7 and other earlier versions, but not 8 or 8.1
    I have tried this 6 or 7 times with the same result.  Dell (the company from which I bought the laptop) was useless and suggested I contact HP. 
    I can no longer scan, either, because the computer isn't recognzing that the printer has a scan function, so when I go to use PaperPort 12 to scan stuff, it doesn't recognize that a printer is attached.
    Any help resolving these problems would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • "File Corrupt" error when opening Driver software for OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z

    I'm trying to reinstall the software for my OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z printer and I have downloaded the drivers from the HP support site multiple times.  Each time I try to open the file I get an error of "File is Corrupt" and it stops opening.  I was able to eventually install the printer but not the HP Solution Software.
    I am running 64-bit Windows 7.

  • Wireless connection for officejet 4500

    I just replaced my router and now I'm having problems reconnecting my officejet 4500.

    Well on this printer you go into the front panel setup which you would hit the setup rench symbol to the right of the machine than find network  and then under network setting you will see wireless setup wizard when you select that option then to put in the passphase you do it like texting you keep pushing the number until it turn into a letter or number for you so it like texting when you put in the passphase.  Now the passphase was setup when you got the new router so if you don't remember it contact the router company or it may be on the router and you put in the front panel like texting. I attached a document on how to reconnect to the network. Maybe this step by step process will help you out on resolvinfg the issue your having.

  • Cannot print wirelessly to HP Officejet 4500

    I have an HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer that I have never suceeded in getting to print wirelessly. It will connect to my wireless network fine, but when I install the device driver and go through the configuration steps on my computer it always stops with this message:
    Your computer is unable to communicate with your printer at 192.168.0.21. This may be caused by firewall software. If you are using firewall software, verify that UDP port 427 is unblocked for both inbound and outbound traffic.
    Your PC can not communicate with your printer at address 192.168.0.21. Check all cable connections. Check that the printer, PC and router are powered on and connected to the network.
    My PC is a HP ENVY Phoenix h9-1360ea Desktop with windows 8.1 (it never worked with 8.0 either). I have connected this to my network both wirelessy and via ethernet. Neither work.
    So far I have tried:
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the software from the HP download centre. The file I downloaded is OJ_AIO_4500_G510n-z_Full_Win_WW_140_408. I installed this as an administrator
    Disabling my Norton Internet Security smart firewall. I also added the printer to the network map.

  • 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

  • Officejet 4500 G510n won't scan wirelessly

    I have an Officejet 4500 G510n-z printer/scanner/fax.  It prints wirelessly (most of the time - I have had regular issues with it not being "seen" by my laptop, but I digress), but will not scan wirelessly - it will scan when connected with a USB cable.  
    The Error message says "the HP imaging device cannot be found".  It then gives 5 steps to correct the problem.  After each step one is to try scanning again.  I have followed these steps multple times with no success.
    I am, unfortunately, running Windows 8.1 (I HATE, HATE, HATE WINDOWS 8 - it truly sux, major league).  I have downloaded the latest drivers from HP, which, I have uninstalled and reinstalled, several times.  
    This happens way too may times.  I can get the printer working wirelessly, usually, but not the scanner.
    Any advice will be appreciated.  I am really in a jam.

It was printing then it wasn't then it was then it wasn't. The printer works when I print from an older notebook running Vista. The last time this happened, I uninstalled and reinstalled HP software and that didn't seem to help. Then, for some inexplicable reason, printing started working.

    Hello-
    It could be caused by a couple things :
    1. Firewall on PC or in router.
    2. wireless interference (ie microwave, cordless phone base @ 2.4 Ghz)
    3. distance from router
    4. corrupt print driver.
    Turn off any firewalls you have and move anything that can cause interference away from router.
    If none of the above resolves issue, I'll have you install another print driver.
    Click on start.
    Go to Devices and Printers.
    Click on Add a Printer.
    Add a Local printer. Create a new Port and choose "Standard TCP/IP port.
    Hit Next.
    Type in 192.168.1.12 in the Hostname or IP address box. (uncheck "Query the printer" box)
    Hit next.
    When the Printer List opens up, click on windows update. ( this will take a few mins)
    After the box shows up, Pick HP (not Hewlett Packard) on the Left and pick "Deskjet 990c" on the Right.
    Click next, set as default, and finish.
    Try to print using the Deskjet 990c.

  • Officejet 4500 G510n-z (all in one wireless) - how to eliminate power save option?

    My Officejet 4500 G510n-z (All in one, wireless) works fine until it sits idle - then it goes into power save mode and won't "wake up".  I have tried every button on the control panel - and nothing gets it out of power save idle.  In this state, you cannot even turn the printer off with the on/off button - to get the unit to work again, you must unplug it, wait, then reconnect the electric cord.  Then, it all works fine until the next time it goes into a long power save mode.  I've gone through all the help manuals without finding any information about power save options.
