Cannot get printer to operate wirelessly

I have just installed the HP Officejet 6500 E701a and cannot get it to operate wirelessly. I have Windows XP and use Verizon Fios. I have tried installing it with the USB and then re-instlling it with an ethernet cable. It works fine when connected but not wirelessly. Anyone have this issue? Have tried troubleshooting...

OK, sorry. From the manual:
1. Set up the printer hardware. See the getting started guide or the setup poster that came with your printer.
2. On the printer control panel, touch right arrow, and then select Network.
3. Touch Wireless, select Wireless Setup Wizard, and then touch OK.
4. Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.

I hit Forget Network and now cannot get back onto my wireless home network. All of my other computers and iphones are fine. How do I get the network back? It shows in my list of networks but when I use the password and try to join it says not connected.

See if the iPad will accept the password after you restart it. It's worth a try.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You could also try a reset as well.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I bought an HP 3055A printer last week and just cannot get it to connect wirelessly.

I have tried everything I can think of. The test results say that other networks have been detected matching my network name (SSID). Could that be the problem? It also says under No Filtering - Fail! I Wish I hadn't bought this model, it is driving me mad. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. The toolbar at the bottom of my screen says that Scan to Computer is also unavailable. Not sure if that is part of the same problem, or yet another issue.

Oh, OK. Then it must be something else. Let's do this:
1. Restart your router by pulling its power plug momentarily.
2. On the front of the printer touch the Wireless button and navigate to Restore Wireless Defaults.
3. Proceed with re-installing the printer as you have been.

Activation - computer crashed, reinstalled Adobe 8, but unable to submit activation info to adobe - "cannot find internet." Tried deactivating/reactivating, partly successful, but cannot get print to adobe pdf to work, says program needs to be activated

My computer crashed a few years ago, and I called Adobe and received help getting the software reinstalled and activated. Computer messed up again in January and I had to reformat/reinstall everything. This time I loaded Acrobat and am able to view and edit files, but cannot print to Acrobat pdf. Error message says it has to be activated. I try to activate but get an error message
When I try to register I get this
I cannot get past this message to try submitting again. Telephone support is apparently no longer available. I go to online registration and find I'm already registered and cannot find a way to get this resolved.
I'm having to use a cheesy, free pdf creator program to print to pdf and I'm missing my full acrobat, even though it's old and decrepit. someday I'll be able to buy the current version, but cannot budget it for now. Help!

Looks like we have the exact same problem. Thank you for the description, now let us wait for a solution. Except three computers got fried at the same time at my end, there are four products lost and I have no idea what was where.

Cannot get printer to print with my iMac but will print from my dell laptop?

cannot get my printer to print with my imac but will print from my dell laptop?

OK, well you haven't provided any information so there isn't anything we can do. What is needed at the bare minimum is:
Exactly what printer are you referring to?
How is it connected to the iMac (USB, Wi-Fi, etc...)?
What steps you have taken to connect the printer?
What errors you have run into.
What I would recommend is using Apple's Printing Overview OS X Lion to learn how to install it. Also take a look at Printer and scanner software for Snow Leopard & Lion to see if it's even compatible with Lion.

Cannot get printer to work through Home Hub 3

I have replced my old router with a BT Home hub3 and so far I cannot get the printer (HP Officejet Pro 8500A) to work.
Printer appears in the "my network" area in the hub settings.
It also shows up in the control panel.
It is connected to the hub via an ethernet cable "to slot 2)
Test pages from the control panel and the hub both fail as does notebook.
The printer itself will print Configuration pages etc just fine.
The old set up worked flawlessly and was easy to set up in minutes. What am I missing?
Windows XP desktop.

Is the printer still is still set to shared? Might of become unselected when you set it back up.

Cannot get printer to pick up photo paper

During setup everything worked fine, however I cannot get the printer to pick up and print on the paper in the photo tray. It prints everything on the A4 sheets. I have tried removing the A4 paper but this makes no difference.

Cannot get printer function back from copy function

On several occasions my printer switches to a function other tha "print" and I cannot get the print function back. It seems like it should be a simple task but I have tried everything including turning it off and on. The computer data indicates that the proper printer is chosen. Thanks

Hello @jbg1946,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that occasionally you are not able to print from your Windows Vista computer to your HP PSC 2510 Photosmart All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now, you indicate in your post that your machine seems to switch functions. This is quite unusual as your printer should only perform the tasks that was asked of it. When you send the print command, your printer should print. When you select Copy on the front panel of your printer, your machine should Copy. When you want to scan and and select the Scan button, your machine should scan. If you're selecting the print button on the computer, but the printer fails to print, this would indicate a potential hardware on the printer or a software/driver issue on the computer, rather than a switch of functions.
To start troubleshooting I am going to have you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. This Tool will run on your computer and 'fix printing' issues for you. Should any driver, software, or connection conflicts be found than the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool will attempt to resolve those conflicts for you.
Please click here to download the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. If prompted, please allow the download to Run. Once the download is complete follow the onscreen prompts to 'fix printing'. Once the HP Print and Scan Doctor Tool has completed, please test printing again.
Should the issue persist, please let me know if you ever get any error messages either on the computer or on the printer when you try to print and it fails.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

Cannot get printer to work with iMac

I cannot get my Epson printer to work with my iMac , It just keeps saying it cannot find printer.
All the other settings are correct , its just the server that fails. I have downloaded printer files ,
sometimes it does recongise it and works, then it stops, I have tried downloading the program again but it makes no difference.
Need to use printer and scanner for my job, and this is driving me mad!!

It sounds like BT's hardware may have a firewall that's blocking more than it should.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
is the printer/scanner listing from Apple.
Use this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1398 to get the latest Epson drivers if your printer/scanner is compatible.
If it isn't, here are some alternatives from my macmaps page:
Epson, alternate Australian site may have more up-to-date drivers for Epson, Epson RIP and colormatching drivers from iProof Systems, Guten-Print (formerly known as Gimp-print), and Printfab. http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/

Cannot Get More Than 3 Wireless Connections

Howdy, I have a Linksys WRT54G v8. I can't get more than three wireless connections established to the router at a time. Is this a known limitation of the Linksys hardware or am I experiencing a novel problem. I've changed frequencies and switched from mixed mode to G only in order to resolve the problem but these have not made a difference. Allowed number of DCHP users is set to 50. Any suggestions?

In theory, your router can support up to 32 wireless users. However, since the 54 Mbps bandwidth is shared, the practical limit is much lower, but should be more than 3.
How many "4th" computers have you tried to connect? What exactly happened when you tried to make the connection? Did you turn off the wireless computer's software firewall before you tried to connect? Is the wireless computer setup to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" ? What wireless adapter(s) are in the computers? Please give all details of computers that failed to be "number 4".

Cannot get printer online using airport express-totally confused right now.

Well, I got my airport express up and running. My iMac is in one room and the airport and the printer are in the other room (it is a second printer). My first printer is connected to my iMac via USB.
Cannot, for the life of me, get the printer in the other room, online, using airport. What am I doing wrong? I am clueless when it comes to these things, so it is probably something simple (and yes, the power in plugged in and on, lol).
I went to System Preferences>Print & Fax and it shows the printer OFFLINE, DEFAULT, but I am lost from here.
Thanks!!

I'm suffering from the same problem. Printer is HP Color Laserjet 2600n with driver 1.3.1, MAC OSX 10.6.1. Setup is airport extreme as router and gateway + airport express as wireless connection for the printer. Following the airport express help doesn't help. Next test is to check whether the printer work as a network printer when connected to the airport extreme station directly. Keep you updated on the progress.

My Time Capsule does not recognize internet after DSL problem. I can hard wire my computer but cannot get TC to do wireless. How do I reset? I have unplugged for a reboot but the amber light is flashing.

I had a problem with DSL service provider. They have corrected their problem but now, I can only hard wire into my desktop for internet access. If I plug in through the Time Capsule, I get no wireless service. I unplugged the Time Capule and rebooted but now the amber light is blinking tellimg me that it cannot access internet. So, I have hard wired back to my Mac and need to know how to get the Time Capsue to recognize the internet when I plug into it.

Start with a factory reset and do setup over again.
If the DSL modem is working as router.. which will be the case for most people then the TC must be in bridge mode..
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
