Changed routers. Cannot re-connect HP 6988 printer. Router is a Cisco E2500.

Wi-Fi network includes HP Pavilion dv2700 laptop which was wirelessly connected to HP 6988 printer. Laptop uses Win XP. Old router kept dropping wireless connection so replaced with Cisco E2500. Laptop connected to new router with no problems, but printer will not connect to network or respond to laptop. What do I need to do to make it work?

Wow, that was a looooong download, but it worked. Thank you. Everything is working fine now.

Hi, I'm gonna bump this question as I have the same problem.
I have connected to the internet by broadcasting my own signal and by setting up a closed network with my ipod in the past. Today I had the internet signal connected and working and when I tried the closed network, the ipod internet stopped working even when I switched back to the open broadcasted signal from my macbook pro.
My ipod says it's connected but it doesn't work.
I reset the network settings on my ipod. I restarted my ipod. I even restored my ipod using the back up I saved in itunes. Still, the internet doesn't work despite the fact I get the full blue bars in the upper left corner.
I don't get a "safari can't connect" it just keeps cycling the circle next to the blue bars and nothing happens. My other applications also say things like "update failed" or "Cannot connect to Youtube"
Any ideas?
Thanks

Cannot automatically connect to my Netgear Router

Hi,
When I turn on my Mac Book Air (2011) it will not automatically connect to my Netgear WNDR3400 on either the 2.4ghz or 5ghz bandwidth. When I over at a friends house I able to connect automatically to a linksys or cisco router. Do you know what the issue could be? Thank you.
David

Someone from the Netgear forum solved my issue. My mac air was trying to use WPA instead of WPA2. Once I removed the saved network and added it back it works great.

Connecting together a Siemens router/modem and linksys E2500

Hi:
Unfortunately, I'm not good with this stuff but I think I can learn ...
I have a Siemens Gigaset SE567, which was set-up by my IP. I'm using its Modem via the #1 Ethernet port to my desktop. It broadcasts wifi but I got tired of paying $10 p/m for the wifi - so I canceled it. The wifi is still active but the IP password protected it.
I was given a used Linksys E2500. I have its password. I just don't know how to hook it up so I can still use the SE567 modem to my desktop but also use the E2500 wifi for my other wireless devices.
The SE567 has 1 attached client and 1 DHCP which is my desktop. My IP address is 192.168.254.1 and it's attached by Ethernet.
I didn't get any set-up CD with the Linksys. I don't know if I need set-up software or not.
Can someone give me a link or give me the steps to connect the 2 devices so they will both perform the way I described. Again, I'm not very computer literate so if you could use simple words it would help.
Thanks so much.

I have an iPad2 and recently updated the ios. Since the update, I cannot connect to wi-fi through my router. I can still connect at work, but at home it will just not work. I have tried everything I can think of. I have reset, uninstalled, re-installed, and changed routers. 3 times. I cannot get it to work. Does this have something to do with the update? I have even reset the network settings, and restored the ipad itself to factory default settings. Can anyone help me?

My Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

my Ipad and itouch cannot be connected ti wireless router tried changing setting still cannot connect

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Ipad cannot connect to the printer unless printer is set for wifi

I have an HP Envy 4500 printer that I wish to use with my iPad. I can use the printer if I choose the setting wifi without connecting via the router. But after I set it up to use the router and the printer shows that it has established connectivity from the Wireless Network Test Result, the only way that I can print, is to change the setting on my iPad from the router to the printer in Settings. That means I cannot continue to use Safari or other search engines while I print.What am I doing wrong when setting it up on the iPad?

Currently your HP Envy 4500 is set to Wireless Direct Printing (Ad Hoc setting; the printer generate it's own network)
You must set your HP Envy 4500 to Wireless Network Printing in order to use Safari and other function simultanously.

MacBook Pro cannot connect to wireless printer

I just replaced my printer with an HP Photosmart plus e all in one B210. I set it up and it connected to my network and prints fine from my PC. When I installed the software on my MacBook, it is able to find the printer, but after installation is complete it is unable to connect. I have checked the HP support page but it appears I have done everything correctly. I am assuming there is a setting or two that I need to tweak but I cannot figure it out. I have turned off firewall, and all devices are connected to the same network. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently my original post was not clear enough. The printer shows up in Print&Fax under System Preferences as idle with a green dot. I have tried with "share this printer" selected and printer sharing turned on but still does not connect. The printer works just fine with my PC connected via ethernet to a dual band Airport Extreme. I have installed/reinstalled the software several times and the printer says it has the latest firmware. I am also unable to utilize the AirPrint feature with my iPhone 4 running 4.2.2.

Have you tried restarting the printer? Reboot the iPad as well.
Reboot 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.

My win 7 home premium cannot connect the sharing printer (EPSON L1100) in Windows server 2003 it say "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"

in My office there is a win server 2003 R2 computer, i install a printer Epson L1100 in that computer, and it successfull, and i can print using that printer from that computer..
I already share this printer, but when i try to connect the printer from my laptop using OS Win 7 Home Premium.. it has error
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"...
and then i try connect using other computer but same OS (win 7 Home premium) it still has same error...
i usually connect to the server computer using //(the ip of computer) , for example
//52.30.20.66 .. that is my IP server..
and than i right click in shared printer which appears in windows explorer, and i choose
Connect... but it contain error "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Accses denied"..
anyone know the solution from this error???
i`m sorry if my english is bad.. i`m from indonesia

Got a local password/username on your Win7 ? Create the same on the 2003R2 as you seem in workgroup
net user /add useraccountname mypassword
net localgroup users useraccountname /add (I think it's users the name, you can validate to be sure) or
net localgroup administrators useraccountname /add in worst case.
nb, or add the user guess in the printer share security

Cannot connect to network printer: Canon MX330 series

Hello,
Not sure if this issue has been posted before, if so then please forgive me. I recently purchased my first Mac, a Macbook pro running on Mac OS X 10.6.6.
I have a network printer, a Canon MX330, at home that is connected to the family desktop computer, a PC on Windows XP.
When I connect my printer to the USB on my Macbook, it works instantly and I can print a test page. I can also go on my Desktop PC and print on that printer through the network.
The problem arises when I connect my printer to my desktop PC. The Macbook is unable to connect to the printer. However, I can browse my Desktop's shared folders from my Macbook. The printer also works locally on the Desktop as well as from the other PC's that are on the network, but not on the Macbook.
If anyone can please help, that would be really appreciated. Right now I have no choice but to copy my files to the public shared folder, then go upstairs to the Desktop, open them, and print.
Thanks!
Phil

Hi Phil,
What they have described is the correct procedure for adding a Windows shared printer to the Mac. Given that you can connect to the shared folder on the PC then this process should work but can take some time.
The first thing to ensure is that the printer on the XP PC is shared. In Printers & Faxes on XP, right-click the printer icon and select Sharing. Select 'Share this printer' and set the Share Name to a single name (spaces can impact things). OK this to close the driver properties window.
With regards to the three columns that appear, the first column is for the workgroup name. If you are using XP Professional then the name will be Workgroup. The Home version will show MSHome. This workgroup name can take a while to appear (the Mac needs to determine who is the master browser on the network) but you can help the Mac by opening System Preferences > Network and for the connection type you are using (Airport or Ethernet) select it and then select the Advanced button. With this new view you will see the WINS tab. Select this and you will see the Mac's workgroup name and the workgroup it belongs to, which will most likely be blank. Click the drop menu and the workgroup name will show. Select this name and OK the change.
Now try adding the printer again, selecting the Windows icon. The workgroup name of XP PC should show in the first column. If it does, select it and then second column will show the XP computer name. Select this and you should get prompted to enter the admin user details for XP. After entering the correct information the shared printer name will appear. Select this and then you can progress to selecting the PrintFab MX330 driver.

Windows cannot connect to the printer the local print spooler service is not running please restart the spooler or restart the m

We have 7 computers on a local network 3 of them have local printers 2 and are brand new Vista equiped. we shared the local printers on the vista machines but they are unaccessable from one vista to the other... it works from an XP to a Vista, but not from a Vista to a Vista.... go figure.... When we try to add the printers, the error message that we get is: "windows cannot connect to the printer. the local print spooler service is not running. please restart the spooler or restart the machine."
I would appreciate any help...
Thank you

This worked for me. GP
Problem : error 1075 and Local print spooler service is not running.
problem description : I have a Lexmark x4270 all in one. I installed the driver for it in my new laptop running Vista. Turns out the driver is not for Vista but XP. I uninstalled the XP driver and downloaded a Vista driver from Lexmark. When I try to run the printer software I get a message "Local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I tried all of that. I have looked this problem up on the web and it is quite common with Vista. Many of the "solutions" say it is a problem with an incomplete removal of the incorrect printer driver and they show how to correct in the registry. I am not comfortable tinkering with the registry and thought I'd consult with you first.
I tried "everything" I could to fix the problem of getting "error 1075" fixed in my HP laptop running Vista. HP came up with simple solution below. The regedit part is what fixed mine. I did not need the safe mode part. I think Lexmark should add the solution to your knowledge base.
==============================
From HP: Please perform the below given steps in safe mode to resolve the issue.
Reboot your notebook and press F8. The system will show some booting options select safe mode.
Note: Starting computer in safe mode may take some time.
Uninstall the printer using Programs and Features from the control panel of your notebook.
Uninstalling any software from Control Panel :
1. Click on Vista (start) button
2. Click on control panel
3. Double click on Programs and Features
4. Click on YOUR Lexmark Printer and click on remove.
Download and reinstall the printer software using the below given link :
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:438:0:0&searchLang=en&os_group=Windows%20Vista&target=
NOTE: Clicking the link may give an error indicating it is invalid.
Copy and paste the entire link in a new browser window.
After the installation of drivers, restart the notebook into normal mode. Now plese check with printing any document. If the still persists then perform the below given steps :
Click on Vista (Start) button, and type Regedit.exe in search bar
Navigate to the following branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Spooler
In the right-pane, double-click the DependOnService value
Delete the existing data, and then type RPCSS
Close Regedit.exe
Restart the computer.
This should resolve the issue.

I think I may understand. There is no password from Adobe for getting an update. So, I think this is the computer's own administrator password, which you will need when you install most software. You chose it when you turned the computer on the first time. And if you forget it you have bigger problems than Adobe Reader.

Cannot connect to wifi printer

I have a new macbook pro and am trying to set it up to print to a shared canon ip1000 connected to an xp pc . I have a netgear router.
I can access the printer and set it as the default printer on the MBP. When I send a job to the print queue, the job shows as "Printing" for about 5 minutes, then disappears. Nothing comes out on the printer.
I think I have the network set up properly as the MBP can read and write files to shared directories on the xp pc and vice versa. (I can print to the printer over the network using an xp laptop.)
If I enter smbtree in an X11 terminal, I can see the printer as attached to the xp pc.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this greatly appreciated.Thanks

Hello Sylvb369,
It sounds like you have an AirPrint capable printer, but are unable to print from it. I want to recommend starting at step 2 of this troubleshooting assistant:
AirPrint setup and troubleshooting
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/airprint/#section_2
Connecting to your printer
Verify Wi-Fi is enabled and that you are connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your printer.
Open an application that supports AirPrint, including Safari, Mail, and Photos. Apps from the App Store may require an update to use AirPrint.
Choose the content you want to print and tap the appropriate icon to display the option to Print.
Select your printer and tap Print.
If you are unable to print, the next section can assist with setting up your printer and troubleshooting basic issues.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Cannot Connect to IP printer always says its busy

I'm trying to connect to my printer but every time I try to connect it says Network host "192.168.0.200" busy will retry in 30 seconds. I have tried pinging that IP address in Terminal and it says that data is coming back so at least I know my Mac can retrieve data for the most part.
Heres my setup, I am connect through a D-Link router which is connected via Ethernet cables. (Both computers are Windows XP) I have checked all the firewall settings on my Mac and on the router setup and it seems that I have tried different combination of opening ports and it seems to not make a difference. I already have ports opened for iChat and such but that's about it.
I have printed from that printer before but some where along the line all the settings were reset. So my dad set it up again but differently somehow (and unknowingly.) It used to show up in Work Groups section but now it doesn't show anything which is why I'm trying the IP printer route.
Sorry for the looong post but I really need this printer to be working and I know you guys are way smarter than I am at this so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Please tell us which IP printing protocol you used -- and if you used LPD or IPP, which queue name (port name is used in windows-centric docs) you used.
For non-postscript printers, printer driver is also an important issue -- what printer is it?
