Cannot find HP AiO networked printer

Spent over 1.5 hrs with HP support to no avail...thought someone here may have some additional information.
Have an HP PS3210 AiO printer connect via USB to my MBP. My wife can print fine as long as I'm home and my computer is on. When I am away she must connect her PB to print. No big deal but an inconvenience.
The 3210 has built in networking so I tried to connect it to the wireless router for network printing with a wired (Cat 5) connection. HP software could not find the printer. Uninstalled and re-installed software with most current version, still could not find the printer. Here's what's weird. Both machines can find the printer by entering the IP address in a browser window. It prints, scans, shows ink levels, tech data, everything. On the PB I can manually install the printer by going to printer setup utility, add, default browser, more printers, then selecting HP IP printer from the drop down menu but I cannot do it on the MBP. HP IP printing is not offered as an option. Even after adding the printer manually, printing a test page so I know it works, when I run the HP device setup program it still does not find the printer.
I have tried disabling the firewall on both machines, no change. HP says I have a problem with Bonjour, that it must be working properly in order for the software to see the printer on the network. If that's so, how come everything else seems to see the printer?
I have alot more faith in the knowledge available on this board than anythig HP can do for me. Any ideas or suggestions????
Thanks!
MBP 2.33 C2Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You're very welcome, and that's great news. Now because you were able to add the printer and successfully print from the EWS, it let's us know that everything is set up properly we just need to contact the router manufacturer and have them open up some ports that may be blocked.
When you contact them please tell them to make sure that the bonjour multicasting is enabled on the router. Now you will need to make sure that the following ports are unblocked:
UDP: 427, 161, 137, 138,
TCP: 9100, 9220, 9500, 137, 139, 427
Bonjour Ports: 80, 443, 5222, 5223
Once these settings are changed and ports unblocked you should now be able to successfully print to your D110a.
Let me know how everything works out!

MacBookPro cannot find my HP wireless printer.

I have a HP8600 Plus wireless printer. I recently bought a new airport extreme, which is working ok. When I try to reconfigure my printer, my Mac cannot find it. Report says I should disable MAC address. How do I do this?

From the Canon website: "Printer firmware update is necessary for AirPrint function. Certain exception may apply. AirPrint functionality requires an iPad, iPhone 3GS or later, or iPod touch 3rd generation or later device running iOS 4.2 or later, and an AirPrint-enabled printer connected to the same network as your iOS device. A printer connected to the USB port of your Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule is not supported. "
Sounds like you need to update the firmware.
Oh and here is the website to do that at: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_ one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mg5320

Photosmart plus B209 cannot find Wireless (wifi) Network

Hello
I had an upgrade to my wifi network (faster speed package) which made the computers happy but stuffed my printer. It cannot be seen on the network and it cannot find a network. It works OK when connected with USB.
I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2, no updates outstanding.
Tried delete and reinstall on the mac
Tried reboots
I downloaded and ran the HewlettPackardPrint2.12.dmg file to ensure I had the right drivers
Using a CISCO DPC2935 router
Read every help post I could find but to no avail
Tried the WPS setup but the printer timed out (and I had clicked the WPS button on the router yes)
Tried running the original wifi setup software provided but it showed the printer trying to use my old wifi network and could not see any network for me to change that - guessing that bit of software no longer works with Mac 10.8. My computer i was running that from was happily connected to the wifi network in question
All help appreciated.

See if this helps.
Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

Cannot add a Canon Network printer to iMac (Intel) OS 10.8.3

I have never been able to connect this mac to the networked printer(Canon ImageRunner Advanced C5045). The printer is detected as a printer nearby connecting through bonjour, but it won't print with the updated drivers, it wont print with generic drivers. I've added it by IP address, by advanced settings with IP address, When I use the canon drivers, it gives me a driver error -50. When I use the generic drivers it says its connecting and says it sent the prints, but nothing comes out of the printer. I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions? Please?

been sitting here non stop for two days trying to make it work.
Under Adding it by default:
Ive used the canon driver UFR II (both US and UK) 2.43 which is supposed to work with 10.8. This leads to an error "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information." Ive used the generic PostScript printer driver and the generic PCL printer driver. These say they have printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Under adding it by IP
Ive used IPP with canon drivers/generic drivers (canon drivers error -50 - generic drivers say they have printed but nothing comes out) Ive used Jet Direct with canon/generic drivers (no results) Ive used LPD with canon/generic drivers (no results)
Under adding it by windows
I've found what I believe to be the printer, but it asks me to log into the printer with a user name and password - I dont have either and didnt need any such thing to set it up on the windows machine right next to it.
Under adding it by advanced
under canon CUPS BDL - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct IP - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct USB - got error 50 and Printer is not responding.Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again.
under canon UFR - got error 50
under IPP - got couldnt connect would you like to continue - yes - says printed - no results
under IPP (http) got error -50
under IPP (https) - got error 50
under IPP (ipps) got error 50
under Jet direct - got no results
under LPD/LPR - got no results
under windows with spoolss - got log into printer with user name and password - followed by error -50

HT3204 My iTunes cannot find my wireless network and I get erros saying I am not connected to a network. What is the best way to resove this issue?

Getting error message: iTunes couldnot connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (0x80092013) Make sure your network connection is active and try again. Obviously my network is active, or I would not be able use my internet connection to enter this community. I have a Telus TwoWire Wireless modem. I used the iTunes for Windows: Network Connectivity Tests and found that it was finding my adaptors, but could not connect to my Wireless network. can someone provide a method for iTunes to recognize my wireless network. I can find lots of info on connecting to a WiFi iDevice, but nothing so far about setting up iTunes with my wireless info. iTunes does not have seek network function in the settings, or at least I cannot find one.
Thank you.

Cannot find 'Mobile Data Network' button for iphone 4 using virginmobile.

Hi,
I use an unlocked iPhone 4 with the latest 7.1.2 iOS. (At least the latest you can get for that phone.)
I recently switched from O2 to Virginmobile to get better coverage. (The EE network is so much better.)
However I cannot send MMS and emails (whether I'm connected to WiFi or not). I cannot access internet when I'm not connected to WiFi.
I have called 789 at least twice to get this resolved. Each time they failed because of the missing button: 'Settings/Mobile/Mobile Data Network'.
Cellular Data Network etc is not there either. I cannot find the button anywhere.
Virgin did give me the details of what to enter should I one day find a way. Although I had got this off the internet already. I was calling them because I cannot find that button! They seemed to expect it to be there.
I have tried resetting all settings and also resetting just the network settings.
The button was available when I was using O2. MMS, email, internet all worked fine because I could set it up manually. The button dissappeared when I switched to Virgin.
So my questions:
Should I be able to see this button?
If yes, what has gone wrong?
If no, how can I set the apn etc settings correctly?
Please note that I have contacted Virgin via the community forum and over the phone to no avail. They suggest I talk to Apple to see if they know why the button has disappeared. They suggest it may be because the iphone has been unlocked.
My household has an iphone 3gs, two 4 and one 4S. All seem to be missing the button or equivalent.
Any help gratefully received.
Regards,
Ronnie

What does it say in your "About"? Go to settings>General>About and it should tell you your carrier. If you have carrier service but it does not show, you might want to contact them again. If the carrier name shows, but you do not get service, try Settings>General>Reset>Tap Reset Network Settings. You will need to enter your wifi password back in afterwards.

Cannot find my closed network, but OK if I open it up

For at least two years now, I have been connected to my AirPort via a closed network. Then a week ago the Mini stopped connecting to this network.
If I make it public from the Base station, the Mini can connect with no problem, even though iStumbler reports only 47% signal and 19% noise.
However, if I close the network again, the Mini can no longer see it. If I open Networks in the system utilities and go to Advanced, then the network is still configured. But even if I try to create a new connection and enter the name and access code again, the Mini still won't connect.
I have reset the PRAM and repaired permissions, but I am still not able to connect to my network.
Where does OSX keep the config file for the network and can I delete it. It seems that, even though I enter the network name as a new connection, it is still using the old file, because the name is the same.

Well. After many hours on the phone with AppleCare, deleting AirPort configuration files, keychain entries, and preferred networks, upgrading to 10.5.7 and the latest AirPort utility, we finally downgraded the TimeCapsule from firmware 7.4.1 to 7.3.2.
That did the trick. My Mini can now connect to the closed wireless network.
However, now it cannot see the Time Capsule disk and the AirPort utility cannot find any wireless AirPort devices, even though it is connected to the very same Time Capsule via the closed network.
I seem to remember seeing information about this problem in connection with 10.5.7 or AirPort 5.4.2, but I haven't been able to dig them up yet.

Satellite L300D-11V cannot find a WLAN network

Ok,
I have 2 x Satellite L300D-11V series laptop and both are having the same problem: they are not detecting my wireless network in my house but I have proved the wireless hub by using a third PC (HP) and works perfectly,
Ive checked the wireless switch is on and done the FN+F8 key but it still cannot find a network. I've checked the devices in the Network adaptors and it finds Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC but this is a LAN card isn't it?
Other devices show an Unknown Device but where would I find the Wireless device?

Hello
I don't know what kind of stories you heard in both shops but the fact is that Toshiba offers notebooks with WLAN card inside. All these notebooks are delivered with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and have factory settings.
This recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers (including WLAN driver), Toshiba designed tools and utilities and some additional software. So if you buy new notebook with preinstalled OS the WLAN driver is there.
The statement from both shops is either misinformation or there is some misunderstanding.
Hi John
Im glad to hear your problem is solved now. just for info: WLAN card in your notebook is REALTEK 802.11(B/G) 13CH-RTL8187B.
Bye

My iPad cannot find my HP AirPrint printer HP 3050 . We are on the same network

I have recently converted all our family devices to Apple. My Mini-Mac has found my printer as well as my Mac Air. The only device that has not is my wife's iPAD. She is on the same home network as my other systems, but no results. Software updates are current on all. The local Apple store said that I am pressing the right Find Printer tab. What else can I adjust to link up here?

The HP 3054 j610a is not an AirPrint printer. The 2011 model, the HP 305xA j611, does support AirPrint. The list is here:

PC cannot find Airport Extreme Network

HELP! I'm an amature in computer configurations and know as much to get by. I need to set up my son's desktop PC (win XP) wirelessly for use with the Airport Extreme using a USB Linksys Wireless B Network Adapter. (Also found my iTouch will not work with the Linksys unit) I set up my laptop (win Vista) it works great.
A message on my PC says "You are connected to the access point but the internet cannot be found." Am I missing something? I put in a new WEP key as requested, and used the same configurations as the Linksys and still nothing. Could this be my network adapter? or a setting? I tried finding other networks and those could not be found, not even the neighbors wireless units.
Any help with this is much appreciated.

Make sure you are running in b/g compatible mode.
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Wireless Adapter Cannot Find Any Wireless Networks

Hi,
I have a problem with my Wireless Network Adapter. As the picture shows below (cannot post image yet), although my Wireless Network Adapter is not connected to the Internet (no red X next to it), but it looks like connected!
I've tried to enable/disable it, but no luck. I tried to re-install the driver, but the same!
So, what's the problem?
Notes:
- OS: Windows 7 installed in Toshiba laptop.
- WiFi Adapter is Intel, supports 802.11a/g/Draft-N.
- WiFi Adapter appears normally in Device Manager (no marks).

Thanks guys for your answers.
To clarify the issue, the network adapter isn't connected to Internet, but it seems to be connected (don't know connected to what!)
When I run the command "netsh interface show interface" in the command prompt, it displays:
Admin State State
Type Interface Name
Enabled Connected
Dedicated
Wireless Network Connection
So, it let me be confused, what Network this Wifi adapter is connected to?!!

HP Laserjet P1102w Linux driver cannot find wireless device in printer

When using the (ubuntu 12.04) HP Device Manager to configure the HP Laserjet P1102w Wifi, The device is recognized, but when I go to step three by clicking next, I get this message: “Unable to locate wireless hardware on device”. As a result, when clicking on OK, the only option, I get the following message: “Unable to turn on wireless adapter”. I follow the directions but this is always the result. I only have linux computers here and it is a bummer that I have to borrow someones Window’s computer to set it up. I really do not want to have to keep doing that..... Can anyone help? and thanks in advance.

Thank you Advance23 for the reply, I installed using that link already, the problem is that, the software is Unable to locate the wireless hardware on the printer. I have used 3 computers and same result. If, however, i use a windows computer to get the wireless device working on the printer, i have success.. I had to barrow that computer, and since then have changed service providers and have to activate the wireless device in the printer again. i do not have a windows computer to complete the task at hand.
that aside, all of the other items in the device manager work fine, and as long as i use a usb cable, i can print. I do not buy this printer for that reason, however, I wanted a wireless printer in my home. So there we are... kind of stuck right now. wishing the software would do what it claims to do.

My macbook pro cannot find any wifi networks unless it is in the same room as the router.

whats wrong with it and how can i fix this?

Here is some info from the Apple data base

Also is there metal near/around the router, tht can cause issues with radio waves, you may want to try a different location for the router.

MacBook Air cannot find my preffered network (Wi-Fi) at home

Since a few months my MacBook Air does not detect the wireless network at home. At the same time my iPhone, iPad, older MacBook Pro and my wife's Dell laptop all detect and connect to this wireless network at home. It also worked on my MacBook Air when I first bought it. I have now upgraded to OS X 10.7.5 and the problem still exists and the same problem existed under 10.7.4.
I have tried rebooting the MacBook Air, the wireless router. I also deleted the network name from the advanced settings under networking. However none of these actions have worked.

Solved by changing my router from non-Apple to Apple Airport Express
