I assume you have rebooted the router and the printers? I'd start with that. Have you replaced or swapped the Ethernet cables? Does the light near the 2600n's Ethernet port blink when you plug it in (as if there is traffic between it and the router)?

Unable to print from my laptop using the wireless connection..

I have configured my HP 3540 series as Wireless printer. The diagnostic tools can detect the printer wirelessly on my laptop and a test page is being printed out without issues. However, when I try to print a document from the same laptop I am unable to get it printed.
I am sure the printer IP is getting detected on the laptop and is configured properly.
What else can I check to resolve this issue.
Note: I get the same issue if I connect the printer through the USB cable provided.

Hello naveen8549,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues.
I suggest that we start off by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
Thanks for your time.

I am trying to get my D1560 to print from my laptop.

I was trying to get my D1560 to print from my laptop. On advice from the HP website, I uninstalled the printer, and downloaded the latest driver software. But when I extract the file (either the downloaded file or from the CD), nothing happens. The file extraction reaches 100%, then nothing. No error messages, no directions on what to do next, not even a kiss goodbye.
How can I get the printer installed, and then print from a networked computer that is not directly attached to the print device?
I've taken two steps back. At least before, Windows (7, 64-bit, by the way) would recognize the printer, even though I couldn't print to the D1560.
The print device is attached to my HP Slimline desktop. Does the Slimline have to be awake in order to print from my laptop?
Also, I downloaded the HPPDU software, (before I uninstalled the printer) but since it can't find the printer, it can't solve the problem. That IS the problem - the computer can't find the printer.

Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

Officejet Pro 8500A Premium will not print from my laptop

I have an Officejet Pro 8500A Premium. I jus had ot reload my driver thinking it would resolve the below issue but it did not. The connection string is laptop -> docking station -> ethernet to router -> ethernet to printer. On my laptop I can see the ink levels of the printer so there is a connection but when I attempt to print and select the Officejet 8500 (non fax) printer, it attempts to print to the 8500A fax and then pops up with a fax box.
Additional Information:
I have tried the following:
- Changed the port for the 8500A fax
- Tried to set the default printer from the fax to the network printer - received an error message: Operation could not be completed (error 0x0000709). Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network.
This question was solved.

Hello coolhandluke2,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having issues when attempting to print from your Laptop.
I also see that you are getting an error 0x0000709.
I do have a few suggestions we can try.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I am also going to give you a document that deals with a 'Problem with Printhead,' 'Printer Failure,' 'Ink System Failure,' or a '0x...' or a 'C2...' Error Me....
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Printing from wireless laptop to ethernet connected Officejet pro 8500 A909a

I have an officejet pro 8500 A900a and a Linksys WRT54G router and I've been having difficulty printing from my laptop via WiFi. I used to be able to print regularly and I think HP sent me an update to some software that has since stopped that from happening. I have the IP and mask for the printer set manually asto never change and set the default gateway to the correct setting for my router. I can ping the device and I can access the printer admin pages from my laptop using the ip address. I can even print reports and run diagnostics from the HTTP connection but no printing from Word or ANY other source. The printer does print from another desktop that has a USB connection to the printer but the connection is not always plugged in. What do I do?
cheers

My printer still prints but it will not print from my laptop. We've checked all the connections, replaced all the ink because it said that ink had expired. An error message comes up ink system failure.

5512 all in one wireless; unable to find printer from my laptop

Last week we had to replace our wireless modem. Yesterday was the first day we needed to print something. The printer was showing it was "offline" on my laptop and my son's laptop. It hadn't been connected to the new modem, so I did that. It shows a wireless connection and good signal strength. After that our laptops still showed it was offline. Another laptop doesn't show the printer is offline but we get an "unable to print" error message. I decided I would uninstall the printer from my laptop and then reinstall it (I'd had this issue before and this worked) but now it says there's no printer found when trying to add it back. Any ideas???

Hello LLHRN07,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when it comes to connecting the printer to the new wireless router.
I suggest that you try to run the Wireless setup Wizard from the printer. To do so, please go to the front panel on the printer, use the right arrow and go to the SetUp Menu. Use the right arrow again and select the Wireless Menu. From here, go to the Wireless SetUp Wizard and follow the prompts to connect to the new router.
If you have any issues, or any other questions, please feel free to write me back.

[SOLVED] Apps freeze when i try to wirelessly print from this laptop

I have an HP Zv6000 running arch that is about 2 1/2 years old, and I have shared the printer on my main desktop so that the laptop can print wirelessly (the desktop also runs arch). The problem is, when I try to print from the laptop, Openoffice stops responding. This also happens on certain other dialogs, especially when I am trying to change stuff in the Options dialog. I am also unable to print from other applications. I really don't know what the problem is here. I have the printer's driver installed on the laptop and the usblp module loaded.

Sorry for the double-posting, but I uninstalled and installed CUPS on both client and server, and followed the Linux to Linux printer sharing configuration posted on the arch wiki. This laptop still freezes whenever I try to print anything except for a test page from the CUPS web interface. So it must be config-related and the problem HAS to be on my laptop, since my server can print just fine. Does anyone know what the problem is? I've been trying for hours and nothing's wanting to work for me.
EDIT: I tried running soffice from the terminal and I looked for any output. This is what I got:
[ken@myhost ~]$ soffice
libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering
Nothing really related to printing here. Also, running gedit from terminal gave me no output whatsoever when it froze. Weird...:|

I can't print from macintosh laptop unless I print first from my desktop. officejet 6500a

i have a macintosh laptop. I can't print from it unless I print first from my desktop. officejet 6500a.
it says: "communication failure. the computer is no longer able to communicate with the printer."
Yet, once I print something from my desktop, I can print from the laptop just fine, until I turn one of the machines off...

Is the printer connected to your wireless router? What router? What version of OS X?

How can I print from the iPad 2 using an Epson Artisan 810 printer.

You said HP in your post title and Epson in your body text, but I think it is actually an Epson Artisan 810.
If that's right, then the free Epson iPrint app should work for you - it lists your printer as one that it supports: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/epson-iprint/id326876192?mt=8
