Cannot print from laptop, have wireless too

I have a printer J6400 and I have a laptop DV2000. I had my printer working for couple of years. Something change now i cannot print wireless. I had to plug my USB port in order to print. What happen? does it have somehting to do with software changes.

Your static LAN IP addresses have been set incorrectly.  This is likely the cause for your problems.
With Linksys routers, a fixed LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address.  So you need to enter the fixed address in the printer and in the NIC, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in  0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2       thru 192.168.1.99  or
192.168.1.150  thru  192.168.1.254
assuming you have not changed the default DHCP server range.
Also, although your printer may need a fixed LAN IP address, it is unlikely that your computers need fixed addresses.  Unless you have a specific need for a fixed LAN IP address for you computers, it is best to let them get an address from the router's DHCP server.

  • Cannot print from laptop via NIC while wireless is enabled

    I use my laptop wirelessly in my office downstairs and have always printed via LPT1 port.  My new laptop does not have a parallel port so I connected to my printer via network cable.  I can ping and print only when the wireless card is disabled.  Therefore cannot print anything while on the internet.  The laptop is assigned an IP address from wireless G router automaticly in the 192 range.  I assigned the network card and printer to a static address also in the 192 range.  Can someone please help me with my configuration oversight?
    Thanks in advance.

    I cannot print from my ipad. It is connected to the wireless okay. I have only had this ipad for a month and while I am not sure I think it has been okay to print before 2 days ago, when I tried to print and I got the message "Airprinter not found" Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it? I have no trouble printing from my computer.

    ... Has anyone experienced this and if so what did you do about it?
    I rebooted my Airport Extreme.
    Try rebooting your router. Make sure its firmware is updated.

  • Hp officejet 4500 wireless won't print from laptop. It is connected to laptop.It prints from desktop

    We have a HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer which was first installed in 2011 without any problems. We also utilize a HP LaserJet P1006 printer (not wireless) with our network. I cannot print from my laptop to either printer, but hubby's desktop has no problem. Both printers stopped working for my laptop at the same time. Everything worked perfectly until a few weeks ago when I could no longer print directly from my Dell Inspiron laptop. When I check on the connectivity of both printers to my laptop, the information tells me the printers are connected to my laptop.
    My husband has a Dell desktop (our main computer).
    I have tried everything I know to fix this problem, including shutting down the desktop, my laptop, the router, and the printers (including disconnecting the printers from the desktop with the cords that connect to the printers). I have followed all instructions on how to restart the entire system...plug the router in, plug in the printers & turn them on, and lastly restart both computers.
     I am not what one would call "computer savvy"; as a matter of fact, I am quite computer-challenged. If any of you can tell me in extremely-easy-to-understand language what to do, I would appreciate your help.

    Hi,
    Pleae download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor utility which should resolve most of printing issues.

  • Print from laptop wirelessly to hp4630

    My HP 4630 officejet has been printing nicely wirelessly from all of my laptops and devices; since my password via: my internet provider has changed, the printer is not connecting wirelessly to print from laptops; I've done the wireless wizard with new password but still no connection; I've troubleshooted, disconnected everything and have spent hours to fix this problem! I'm frustrated and ready to return printer to store. (

    Remove your password from your SSID and see if it connects with no password.

  • Cannot print from computer but I can print wireless

    I just connected this printer and I cannot print from my computer but I can print wireless from my phone.

    Hello dfreed,
    You can try some simple steps:
    Power your printer off.
    Unplug your router, and your modem.
    Plug your modem in and allow it to power on fully.
    Plug your router in and allow it to power on fully.
    Power your printer on.
    Refresh the HP ePrint Center site and verify that your printer has a status of "Connected" and "Ready".
    Some internet providers' modems are not always the most friendly to power off and on, so I understand if you need to skip that step.
    Please post again if any steps need any elaboration.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

  • I have been successfully printing from my ipad2 wirelessly to HP printer but for no apparent reason it has stopped working. Any ideas?

    Hi I have been successfully printing from my ipad2 wirelessly to HP printer but for no apparent reason it has stopped . Any ideas please ?

    Try clearing your printer queue.  Double click the bottom button to see your active apps and scroll to find your printer app.  Cancel all documents listed for printing.  Hopefully you'll b able to print again.  This solution worked for me recently.

  • Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop  After restart error message appears:  - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

    PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
    After restart error message appears:
    — “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
    • All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
    The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared.  Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. —  only Photoshop fails.
    The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc..   Preferences reset.  Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
    Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
    Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
    Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
    What Adobe support will be of help.

  • I cannot print from firefox. I can print from open office. It seems to have something to do with when frames open because in IE, I can print a whole page, but when I try to use a print button embeded in a page or frame it does not work.

    Cannot print from firefox at all.
    In Internet Explorer, I was able to print by pushing the print button, but when opening a frame, like in mapquest, the embedded print button brings up an options window that has print frames options in it, but when hit OK in this box, a second error box comes up with a yellow exclamation point and nothing prints. I have a feeling that it is the same problem with both browsers, but would prefer using firefox. Can you help with this?

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks

  • I cannot print from web pages with mozilla, can print from internet explorer and all other programs. I have a Cannon Imageclass MF8100.

  • HT4356 I have a brother mfc-j625dw and it's in the list of AirPrint printers under brother in the iOS: AirPrint 101 website but I cannot print from my ipad2.  Why?

    I have a brother mfc-j625dw and it's in the list of AirPrint printers under brother in the iOS: AirPrint 101 website but I cannot print from my ipad2.  Who will i beleive, the website or brother?  I checked the iOS AirPrint 101 website first before I bought my brother printer model to make sure that AirPrint is available but it does not work.  Of course the brother printer salesman said that my model can do ipad2 AirPrint just to sell the unit.  So I made sure that it is possible first so I went to check it in iOS AirPrint website and when I saw the model in the list, I bought the brother printer immediately.  Why?

    You're sure that you set the printer up correctly?
    Did you try restarting the printer and the iPad?
    Have you looked for a firmware update for the printer on the Brother website?
    Does the printer work with your computer - assuming that you have a computer that is?

  • Cannot print from web or browser

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-1275mx laptop and an HP 4700 series wireless printer.   I can print from Word, e-mails, etc.  However, I cannot print web pages.  I use Internet Explorer 8 for my browser.  
    I use Vista Ultimate 64 bit that I recently upgraded to from Vista home premium.  Any idea why can't I print web pages?  Thanks 

    I have the same problem and it all started with Tiger. I cannot print from anything from the web (e-mail from aol, comcast, .mac etc) but document printing is fine. Last night I literally spent 1 hour and 20minutes with AOL people and 2 hours and 10 minutes with a VERY helpful hp guy. There is no fix as of now. I get multiple blank sheets and then a portion of an e-mail. Your best bet , until they come out with 10.4.3 is to save the e-mail or web page as a PDF document from the print preview window and save to desktop then print from there. It works, but is slow and cumbersome.
    My printer is HP 2210 all in one with the most current driver installed.

  • Cannot print from hp DeskJet F4580

    I have just bought my first MacBook with Mac OS X 10.6.4. Great computer.
    However I cannot print from the wireless hp printer. I downloaded the latest driver from hp (maybe a fault) and started to install. Everything went as expected untill the setup process of the Printer Queue. Here I add the printer in order to create the Printer Queue, but when I click on the continue buttom I get this warning: Are you sure you want to continue without adding a Print Queue? I finished the installation with a congratulation sign.
    Therefore there is no doubt, that the printer queue is missing. However I cannot found out to install the printer queue.
    The printer is a socalled all-in-one printer. The scanner function is perfect with the wireless connection. But not the printer function.
    I have also tried to connect via usb cabel. The result is the same. Scanner okay. Printer not okay.
    The printer works perfect under Windows.
    I hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance.
    Erik

    I'm having the same problem ! The wireless printing works using OS 10.5 on a G4 PowerBook but not OS 10.6 on an intel MacBook. I'm going to get in touch with HP as have used the latest drivers (as you have) - I've re-installed the HP software using Software Update for the latest version - still can't print. USB printing is also faulty so must be their drivers.
    I'll let you know if I have any luck !

  • Cannot print remotely with new Wireless HP Officejet 4630

    My old HP printer died last week, which is okay because I was in need of a new one. I chose the HP Officejet 4630 because it had the wireless printing option and was a 4-in-1. I work from home and I remote in to my office computer in another location. With my old hp printer, I was able to print but was connected with a USB cable. With this new wireless printer I cannot print from my remote location. I have tried a few times, restarted the computer and printer but it still does not print. I am able to choose my printer when I am logged into my work computer remotely. This is a big issue as I need to print reports at home from my computer at work. I am using Windows 7  and I've printed the wireless network test results which came back A-OK. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out how to print? When I look at the printer queue there is nothing... 
    Please Help! 
    Thanks

    I just want to add that I am able to print wirelessly from my computer but not when I am remoting in to my work computer.
