Connecting HP PHotosmart 8450 Wirelessly

I'm a little confused by the directions to connect my printer wirelessly. I currently have it connected with the USB connection and want to connect it wirelessly through my router. Do I remove the printer first and start again with the ethernet connection or can I just create the ethernet connection and leave the current connection as it is?

AN IMPORTANT UPDATE!
I had turned off my virus protection and firewall, and was still unable to connect to the printer, or ping it.
I could successfully ping the printer from my router, so I turned the router off and back on, re-configured the wireless setup on the printer, and I am able to connect and print again!
Even though I could connect the printer to the router, and all of my computers were connected to the internet, something on the router was preventing me from connecting to the printer that was connected to the same network.
So I've learned that I have a printer that works fine, but I own a crappy router. Hopefully this can help someone else.

Trouble connecting HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer to D-Link router

We just installed our new all in one modem/wireless router that we received from Verizon yesterday. The computers connected fine but our HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer will not connect. We tried many different things. It connects fine when using the new D-Link with our old wireless router connected. It will also connect to the modem if there is no security encryption. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you!

HP sales usb wireless adaptors. 1315v has a USB connection, I believe.

Connect hp photosmart plus b209 printer to verizon fios wireless router

Having trouble connecting HP Photosmart Plus B209 printer to verizon fios wireless router in order to access printer via home wireless network. The WPS (push button) connection option is not available on the current software version of router (VERIZON M1424WR rev.1 (Mfg. ACTIONTEC)). So, need to know how to connect via the PIN option.
Normally, to connect a wireless device (like this HP printer) to the network, the device would input the router's security pin (e.g. WEP key). But I can't figure out how to input the router's WEP key via the printers face screen. And, after talking to Verizon, there is no provision to enter the printer's pin within the router's control setup online.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

HP Photosmart 8450 printer/airport express

I am unable to get my HP Photosmart 8450 printer to work wirelessly with Airport Express. Does anyone have any suggestions or is this just impossible with this model printer? Many thanks

iFelix states that it is NOT compatible... and it seems to me that the workaround is really clunky at best.
http://www.ifelix.net/tech/1205.html
I am really curious if this message post on Paul's Time Sink is accurate...
http://www.paulstimesink.com/post/2007/05/25/hpphotosmart_c3180_airport_expressupdate
So there are conflicting reports. Has anyone had success with an Airport Express or Extreme with the C3180 connected directly to it and the newest HP drivers?
I'd really like to know before I go out and buy a new router to then have to deal with the hassle of it not working - and having to buy a new printer would really suck!
Thanks in advance for any help,
Jose

Dell Dimension desktop sometimes won't communicate with my HP Photosmart 6510 wireless printer

At random times, when trying to print from Dell Dimension desktop to HP Photosmart 6510 wireless printer, I get a message that the computer can't communicate with the printer. The printer shows that it is connected to the Internet. I haven't changed any settings. Each time this happens, I unplug the printer and router, but it doesn't fix the problem. After about 20 minutes or so, it prints normally. It always happens at the most inopportune times. Any suggestions about how I can keep this from recurring?

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keeps wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (see step 6) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
    printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
    Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 5 mins. Power on router wait 3 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.
Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings.
Under Home or Work (current profile) \ Network Discovery.
Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

Printers do not have any routers built into them. You buy a wireless router separately.

HP Photosmart c7180 wireless scanning setup

I recently changed my connection from USB to wireless (with wireless access point) for my PhotoSmart c7180 and printing works fine but when I try to scan nothing happens and it no longer appears in the list of scanners. What can I do to allow scanning wirelessly?
When I press Scan Menu on the printer and select Scan to Computer it says "refer to device documentation to troubleshoot."
Please help!

Issue in connecting to the internet wireless with my Linksys

OK. Here's the deal. I am entirely frustrated and also over my head trying to solve this on my own as I have no idea what I'm doing.
I have a Mac Powerbook, OS X (3.9). I have always connected to the internet wirelessly through my Linksys router (Wireless B Access Point, Model Wap 11).
I have recently moved and now use Comcast for my internet. When they installed my internet, I had not yet unpacked my wireless router, so I was set up to be connected via the actual cable plugged in. Now that the router is all set up, I cannot for the life of me get my wireless to work. Currently, I can use the internet wirelessly in other homes/school no problem. In those cases, I don't do anything, I just turn on my computer and it connects automatically. But for some reason in my apartment I cannot make it work.
I *think* the problem lies somewhere in the IP address area? If I look at my Airport settings and go to the TCP/IP tab, there is no information contained on the screen. Meaning, in the area where it says IP Address, Subnet Mask and Router, there is NO data listed, just gray empty space. The same goes for the DNS Servers and Search Domains areas, but at least in that case there is a white box to input text.
I can choose the "Configure IPv4 Using DHCP Manually" and that will let me input numbers, but I have no idea if I should even be playing around with this.
Also, perplexing me even more, is the fact that I can choose my Linksys internet connection through the Airport screen, and when I have selected it, I show full bars. But I can't actually connect.
Silly me, I attempted to call Comcast for help with the issue, but they say that as long as I can connect to the internet in any way (plugged in) then they do not care that I can't connect wirelessly.
I miss checking my email in bed...someone please help!!!
Thanks a million in advance for any and all help.

Are u talking about routers username , password? Well there is one routers username ,password (default is "admin") and the other is your cable ISP username , password (on the routers webpage). I am talking about the latter. If nothing works, try resetting your router ... You will have to configure it again (doesnt take much time if you know it).

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either. I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
I am so dissatisfied with this printer. I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it. I will never buy another Canon.
The printer menus are confusing. I hate using it. I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model. Never again. Stick with cameras.
Marcy Hotz

This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer. I deleted all the old stuff.
I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which). So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
It works now. So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching. I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

When I connect to the hotel wireless, it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected to the login page

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Firefox 4 beta: when I connect to the hotel wireless, and I start the browser, I should be automatically redirected to the hotel's main login page.
In FF4b I get 2 error messages (attached) and I am not redirected immediately... it takes 2 or 3 minutes to be redirected.
If I don't want to wait I have to start IE, make the login, and then get back to FF4b.
I believe this situation is connected with the "Test Pilot" and/or the "sync" function of FF...
Any ideas about what I should do? Any setting I should change?
Thanks,
Tozé

My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed

My Satellite A25-S279 (WinXP) will not connect to the internet wirelessly since UVerse was installed. (Rather, I should say
it 'connects', then immediately disconnects.) When I had regular DSL, there was no problem, but since UVerse installation,
I can connect ONLY with the ethernet cable.
Thinking it was my 'old' computer, I took it to the local computer place---they were able to connect instantly (wirelessly) AND maintain connection. Sooo...I've told this to ATT, & had 2 different techs out here, both of whom were very patient & tried EVERYTHING they could think of, & both of whom failed to fix the problem. They maintain that it is NOT the fault of the modem/router, but is some 'miscommunication' between my laptop & the modem/router.
Is that possible? Is there a setting I need to change on the laptop? If it worked BEFORE UVerse, and if it STILL works at the Computer store, and if it works WITH the cable, why won't it connect wirelessly?
Thank you SO much for any thoughts!

It is possible. While it's not common, sometimes you could have a working router and a working wireless card in a laptop, but they just don't communicate. It sounds like that might be the problem unfortunately.

I currently have a WPN824 v3 Netgear router and I'm trying to set up my Apple TV. I'm able to connect it to my wireless network but my airplay feature is currently not working.

I currently have a WPN824 v3 Netgear router and I’m trying to set up my Apple TV. I am able to connect it to my wireless network but my airplay feature is currently not working. The icon does not appear on any of my devices. My ipad and ipones all are currently up to date and are all joined to the same network. Is it the way that my router is configured. Please help let me know what I need to change in my router settings or does my router not work with Airplay. Or is there a simple fix.

you don't mention which products you use
only ipad2 and up support mirror
and only iphone4s and up support mirror
other devices only use airplay for apps which support tvout options

? possible to connect AEBS to existing wireless internet connection

Hi
I have a cable connection to a Netgear W614 wireless router and can connect to the internet wirelessly using my MBP.
What I would like to do is have an airport extreme in a separate room with a printer connected to it connected to the same wireless network. What I hope to do is be able to connect wirelessly to the internet through my Netgear ( as I have been doing) but have wireless access to the printer connected to the AEBS.
I seem to be able to see how to "set this up" if the AEBS is hardwire connected to the netgear ( and thus the internet) but this defeats the purpose for me as I want to have the Netgear and the AEBS in separate rooms. I cant seem to see how to get the AEBS to wirelessly connect to the network and share the printer and yet retain internet connection through the Netgear.
Is this setup possible e.g MBP connected to a wireless network which has a Netgear wireless router connected to the internet and a AEBS connected to a printer in diffrerent rooms?
Cheers

Hello RichwhG. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
To connect the AEBS to the Belkin, wirelessly, in order to extend the Belkin's wireless network, you would have to establish a Wireless Distribution System (WDS) between the two.
Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS...so it very unlikely that your router can be extended wirelessly with the AEBS.
The few that are known to work are:
o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
o BT Voyager 2091
o Netgear WGR614 v6
o Buffalo WGR-G54
The other option is to configure the AEBS as it's own wireless network to share the printer, but you would then have to switch wireless networks between Internet access or for printing.
