trying to connect my wireless sony laptop with windows 7 system to my officejet j4580 all in one...error message is "no connection. not connected to computer" where am i supposed to plug in my j4580 usb cord? the router or laptop?

Hi,
Based on the following link, your printer ONLY has USB connection therefore you have to connect it to your laptop
http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/sm/WF06b/18972-18972-238444-3328086-3328086-3645081-3645101.htm...
HP ePrint
No
Standard connectivity
1 Hi-Speed USB 2.0
Optional connectivity
None
You have to buy more hardware to be able to put the printer to your home network.

Wireless and the HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One

I'd like to know if it's possible to connect an HP Officejet J4580 to a wireless network, and if so, how to go about it.
The documentation provided with my All-in-One indicates it's possible, but refers to a "Wireless Connection Guide", which was not included with my product. The only references I can find to this particular model and wireless connections on the HP website seem to indicate it can only be connected wirelessly to a Mac.
I'm running Windows Vista (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion laptop, with a Linksys WRT54G router. There is one other computer connected to the wireless network (a Gateway PC running Vista 64-bit, if that's relevant).
I watched the video in the stickied thread above, regarding how to connect an All-in-One to a network in Windows XP, but 1) I wasn't given the wireless option during installation (bummer), 2) I'm not really excited about the prospect of installing ALL their fluff software to get this thing working, and 3) I'm not running XP (also kind of a bummer, but whaddyagonnado).
I'd also like to mention that my product didn't come with the USB cable necessary to connect it to my computer. The simple set-up directions imply that this cord was only shipped with the J4680 model, along with the aforementioned "Wireless Connection Guide".
Is this true? Why on earth would HP neglect to include necessary hardware AND neglect to supply an alternative method? That just strikes me as bad customer service.
Any assistance or commiseration you can offer will be appreciated! Thanks for your time!

How do I make my hp J4580 printer print wirelessly from my mac 10.7.5 laptop

Hi,
I would like to make my HP J4580 all in one printer wirless. I have a mac 10.7.5 laptop. I have read the other posts and it appears to be possible but I can't figure out how to do it. One of the posts said you need an Ethernet cable, however, there is no place on the back of the J4580 printer to hook up an Ethernet cable. I tried hooking up the USB cable that came with my printer to my new comcast modem that has wireless, however, that did not work. I do have sharing on.
1. Is it possible?
2. If so, how exactly is it done? Since I'm not that computer savvy, I do need step by step directions.
I copied this from one of your other posts. The back of my computer is exactly the same.
Thank you,
HR

Hi hrsre,
I understand you're wondering if you can make your Officejet J4580 printer work wirelessly or wired via Ethernet. I will certainly do my best to answer this for you.
The printer you have does not have any wireless capabilities. If an HP printer does not come with wireless capabilities there is no way to make it such. What I would recommend at this point if you're adamant that you have a wireless printer is to call HP Tech Support for your area and inquire about the out of warranty trade in and trade up program to see what sort of wireless printer they can get to you.
Hope this helps, have a great day!!

Cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet

I cant WiFi connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer to internet... at least I think that is the problem. I have followed all the instructions on HP Print and Scan Doctor as well as Troubleshoot HP Installation Failure. My router is running fine for everything else and I have entered the static address for the printer into the router. It appears that my printer believes it is connected to my WiFi (Ihave WPS it multiple times), but when I type it's IP address into my IE nothing shows up. My router doesn't appear to see the printer either. I have the latest driver installed on my computer. I suspect this may be a router issue: new router Asus Double 450 Mbps N Router (Dual band - but it appears my router is using the 2.4Hz band to communicate with WPS). Windows 7 64.
Any help is appreciated!

Hello NRHII,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to connect the Officejet 8600 over a wireless connection. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend power cycling the router, printer and computer:
1) Turn off your printer
2) Disconnect the power cord from the back of the router
3) Restart your computer
4) Wait less than 60 seconds, plug the power cord back into the router
5) Turn your printer back on, wait for the computer to turn on
Is the wireless light blinking on your printer? If so, please reconnect the wireless on your printer by using the wireless setup wizard: (This information is stated here.)
On the printer touch screen, touch the Right Arrow ( ) to display the second navigation screen.
Touch the Setup icon ( ).
Touch Network , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch Continue . The printer searches for available networks.
Touch the name of your network, and then touch OK .
If prompted, enter the network password, and then touch OK . The printer connects to the network.
Also, as I was typing this post TreeFrog posted some great information to follow.
Have you followed this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection? If not, follow this document. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a great day!

Wireless Printing on Officejet J4580 AiO

I have an HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One wired to a desktop computer that runs XP. I connected a Netgear 108 Mbps Wireless Firewall Router WGT624 v3 to the desktop. I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1243cl Entertainment Notebook PC (runs Vista) that I want to print wirelessly from. I loaded the HP Officejet software onto the laptop. It loaded okay with no error messages. When I print from the laptop it looks like the printer software goes through what it needs to go through but it never "gets" to the printer and prints. Any suggestions? Thank you! Let me know if you need more info.

You need to make sure the printer attached to the desktop is shared, from your laptop go the the name or ip address of the desktop system example from notebook open my computer and in the address bar type \\desktop if all of your sharing is ok you should see what is shared and should see the printer. That is the printer that you want to add as your default printer on your notebook. What you have done is installed the software on your notebook and to print to the printer you will need to disconnect the cable from the desktop plug it into your notebook and everything should print fine...
There are steps on how to configure a network printer port but for most users just go to the shared printer and add it to your other system set as default and as long as the desktop is powered up and printer connected you should be able to print remotely...

HP 8600 OfficeJet continues to lose wireless connection

Hello - I just purchased this printer for the purpose of wireless printing from my iPad, iMac, iPhone, and the fact that the old HP was several years old and beginning to not work correctly. So the Windows Xp is also a factor in printing. The iPad, iMac, and iPhone did recognize the printer the first time and printed what I sent as a test. I read through the set up that is quite simple. The first time every device connected and was able to print to the printer. I even set up emails that would be used to send to the printer when I am away. This all tested out correctly. It is a secure network (entered my SSID key that was accepted) and if I have to use this printer on an unsecure network I'll take it back to the store. **** The very next day nothing worked because the printer lost the wireless connection. I went through the set up again to re-establish the connection. That worked fine. **** Even still the next day after doing all of that the printer was again not printing because it was not recognizing the wireless. I tried numerous things and as of this posting the printer will not work wirelessly or USB connected. I rebooted the router, computer (Windows xp), and printer. I went through the install again and the printer says it's connected. I do notice that the 'fan' that shows the wireless (blue light at bottom right) is off but the blue light is on. The power button light also flickers off and on. So, back to running all the set up and re-installs. I did this several times and pulled the USB plug when instructed by the set up. Still nothing. I also went through the printer to do the troubleshooting that the help suggests and the displays and reports are showing nothing that says the printer is not connected. The report actually says the wireless connection is working. None of the other devices that are wireless have ever had a problem on this router. Those work just fine. I read through this forum and didn't see anything that looked like the problem I am experiencing. What next? Thank you Daria This is the set up: Hp Officejet 8600 wireless printer Windows XP SP3 DirectTV DSL wireless router

It seems that any little glitch, power loss, no paper etc, causes a major search on how to restore my HP Officejet Pro 8600 to wireless internet connectivity. (Networked with IMac and another PC with windows)Is there a reason that this happens and therefore a standard correction?

HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 wireless connectivity issues?

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 a910 and It was working fine. I got a new router and it was still working fine. Second night of having everything set up it stops working and shows as offline on my computer. It will print information about the printer from thecomputor but will not print out any other documents.

I'm having the same issues. In my case, first I updated my MacBook Pro to OS X 10 Mavericks. A few days ago, the Actiontec gateway router provided by my ISP Frontier Communications ceased to function. Frontier sent a Netgear 7550 gateway router to replace it. I installed it according to directions. My email capability and home network went down. Frontier helped to restore the email but the techs I worked with couldn't figure out what to do to restore my wireless network. The router's setup would not allow me to replace the WPA Shared Key with the wireless network password I used previously. So, I updated the ASUS range extender and all the wireless devices that were on my home network with the new WPA key. Both printers, the Officejet Pro 8500A 910 and a Brother wireless laser, will not network. The Officejet blue wireless icon no longer lights up. I uninstalled the Officejet's software and then downloaded and installed the latest software and drivers for the Officejet Pro 8500A 910. The HP Network Configuration printout indicates that its network status is ready and the active connection type is wireless. I had it connected to my Mac with a USB cable so I could reinstall the software and drivers. When I disconnected the cable, I lost connection to the Officejet and couldn't print. the HP utility could not establish a wireless connection even though I did input all the new router settings. The Officejet thinks it's wireless but it isn't. I can only conclude that my Officjet is delusional. It's not all that old, but could it be ready for the all-in-one graveyard?

Wired and Wireless Connections to OfficeJet 8620?

We have a small wired Ethernet network. We are planning to install an HP OfficeJet 8620 multi-function printer tomorrow. I understand that for a wired-only Ethernet network, I would just connect the OfficeJet to our router, then install the drivers on each workstation.
Unfortunately, our situation is more complicated than that. Several people want to use wireless devices to print to the OfficeJet 8620. We have a working wireless network in place, and the wireless devices are able to access it without problem..
All devices on the network (wired and wireless) use the same router, which has both wired Ethernet ports and wireless capability. So, everything is on the same network, going through the same router.
From reading the 8620 documentation, it looks like you can only have a wired OR a wireless connection, but not both. Apparently connecting a CAT-5 cable to the Ethernet port on the printer disables the wireless capability of the printer.
If that is correct, what can we do to enable both wired computers and wireless mobile devices to print to the 8620, given the network structure I have described above?
Thanks very much for any assistance you can offer.

Wireless connection for officejet 4500

I just replaced my router and now I'm having problems reconnecting my officejet 4500.

Well on this printer you go into the front panel setup which you would hit the setup rench symbol to the right of the machine than find network and then under network setting you will see wireless setup wizard when you select that option then to put in the passphase you do it like texting you keep pushing the number until it turn into a letter or number for you so it like texting when you put in the passphase. Now the passphase was setup when you got the new router so if you don't remember it contact the router company or it may be on the router and you put in the front panel like texting. I attached a document on how to reconnect to the network. Maybe this step by step process will help you out on resolvinfg the issue your having.

Connecting HP Officejet 6100 to wireless network with OSX 10.9.5

Running OSX 10.9.5.
I'm trying to connect HP Officejet 6100 to wireless network without HP software since the software claims it is not compatable with my OS.
The printer works fine when connected via USB.

Hi @dj2thew,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to add your HP Officejet 6100 to your Mac running the Mavericks 10.9.5 Operating system.
Because you are using the Mavericks OS X you must install the printer using the Apple Updates. Please click on the link below, this document explains how to install the print driver on a Mac for a USB or a network connection. The OS X v10.9 Mavericks driver for your printer is available through Apple Software Update (ASU). Additionally, you can perform basic print jobs using AirPrint without installing a driver.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
Once you have installed the OJ 6100, you may notice the features you once had are limited or there are workarounds, for scanning with or without HP Software see below:
How to Scan: OS X v10.9
I hope this helps!

Problem Installing HP Officejet J4580 Full Feature Software and Driver

Hallo !
I recently installed a new 2T harddrive and performed a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my e-Machine Model ET-1331-g-05w. The clean install of Windows 7, installation of the e-Machine drivers, und 325+ Microsoft Updates was successful. The System is running fine and protected by Kaspersky 2015 Internet Security. Please note this WAS NOT an OS upgrade from Vista to Win7 - just a clean-install of the original Win7 64-bit OS.
After creating an ISO and Full Backup(nothing else has been installed at this point) I wan't to re-install my HP Officejet J4580 All-in-one. I have the original CD but I know that it can only be used on an XP or Vista OS - so I went to the www3.hp.Offical HP Drivers and Support downloaded the Product Installation Software for:
HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver
File: OJJ4500_FULL_13.exe
Released: 2014-09-03
Version: 13.0.0
My printer wasn't connected via USB - the install ran for about 30 and when I asked to connect the USB cable the splash screen told me it was finishing the install but then it failed with a message unable to located J4580 Drivers. The install that place the Solution Center, HP Document Manager, and HP Photosmart ICON's on my Desktop - when I opened the Solution Center - it said that it couldn't communicate to the printer. The printer and USB cable work fine on my Vista Desktop, my Vista Business Notbook. and my IBM X40 running WP SP3.
I've also tried running:
1) HP Update Software Utility - hpsetup.exe
2) Hp Print and Scan Doctor - HPPSdr.exe
3) HP Officejet Software and Driver Removal Utility - OJJ4500_Scrubber_13.exe
but the 2nd attempt to re-install failed too.
I then reloaded my clean ISO - and tried the Product Installation Software for the Basic Drivers
HP Officejet Basic Print and Scan Driver
File: OJJ4500_Basic_13.exe
Released: 2014-09-03
Version: 13.0.0
The Basic Drivers worked fine -but I need the Full Driver. I double checked and the WIN 7 64-bit is shown as a supported OS for the Full Driver - any suggestions on how to proceed? I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile installing XP virtual machine and installing the Full Drivers in VM. If I go that route - it creates other issues such as sync'n file from 64-bit to VM, then switching back & forth between VM to process other work, and then the issue of having to scan in VM then sync the folder to 64-bit side.

Hello @Tom_Ma,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with installing your HP Officejet J4580 All-in-One Printer on your Windows 7 computer. Thank you for including all of the troubleshooting steps you have already attempted and your Operating System details in your post. At this point I am going to run you through some additional troubleshooting steps to get this Officejet successfully installed with the Full Feature driver. Please follow the steps below.
Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
It is important that we have a nice clean slate to work with for troubleshooting. Therefore, I am going to have you uninstall the existing software on your computer.
Click on your Start menu
Select All Programs
Select the HP folder
Select your HP Officejet
Select Uninstall
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the uninstall of your printer. Once the uninstall is complete, please proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Clear Temp Files:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start after you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter on your keyboard
When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains temporary internet files. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files. Should a Temp file still be used than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' that item.
Close the Temp folder once it is emptied
Right click the Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
Step 3: Unlock System Administrator Account:
There is the potential that there is something within your User Account that may be blocking the drivers from installing properly. Therefore, I am going to have you unlock the hidden System Administrator Account and install your device under there. Then, when you log back into your normal User Account the printer and all Full Feature software should be installed and functional for you. If all goes well, we we 'hide' the System Administrator Account once troubleshooting is complete.
Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter
Next, close CMD and restart your computer
When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked
Under the Administrator account download and install the drivers: HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver
Please follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation of your printer
Once the installation is complete, please test printing and scanning to confirm that everything is now working properly.
If everything installs fine, log out of this account and back into your normal User Account. All the Software and Drivers for your product should show installed now on your account.
Under your User Account please test printing and scanning again to confirm that everything is still working.
If everything works fine, you will want to Hide the Administrator account.
Step 4: Hide System Administrator Account:
Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter
Next, close CMD and restart your computer
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

Officejet J4580 as a network printer

Good day,
I have an Officejet J4580 all in one printer and wanted to use it as a network printer. I got a Homegroup with all my computers and laptops where print sharing is on.
The printer is set up correctly and printed the Windows test page but not any other documents I select to print.
I do know that the printer isn't a true network printer but due to the fact that it printed the Windows test page while being connected to my router and no computer shows me that it's able to.

Hi
Thanks for reporting the issue. HP has the solution to fix the issue with windows 8. Also don't forget to install the hotfix providied by microsoft at the end of the document.
Follow the instructions to resolve your issue

HP Officejet J4580 Scan Problems

I've been at this for quite some time even chatting with HP for over 10 hours. My scanner for the OfficeJet J4580 will not work on my desktop using Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002, Service Pack 3. It will however work using the Dell Latitude Notebook running Windows XP Professional. If I use the scanner camera wizard "the computer cannot detect the scanner" appears. HP document manager says "no scanner found". HP solutions center says "Hp imaging device not found". In working with HP I have done 4 complete uninstall and reinstalls to no avail. The HP Digital imaging Monitor icon appears on the system tray. Under Device Manager - Imaging Device the OfficeJet J4580 appears with an error message "Windows cannot load the device drivers for this hardware.....". I have installed and run the HP Scan Diagnostic Utility and these 3 red errors appear: Yellow Banged Out Dot4 Entries, Registry Mismatch and Scan folder. (The utility cannot fix the problems and says to unistall and reinstall the software, which I've done) Any assistance would be appreciated.

follow these instructions and see what happens:
1. Insert the installation disk you used to install the software on your PC, and open the CD contents from the Autoplay menu or from My Computer.
2. Locate and open the 'util' folder, and then open the 'ccc' folder inside it.
3. Double click on the file 'Uninstall_L2.bat, and unplug the USB cable when asked to. Restart the PC if required also.
4. Restart the installation, and this time, when you're plugging in the USB cable, keep Device Manager open. Once you connect it, make sure that no HP device entries are left with a Yellow '?' of '!' mark. the drivers can be located on the CD. So make sure ALL HP device entries have their drivers.
5. Finish the installation and try to scan.
If that doesnt work, then go back to the CCC folder, and run the Uninstall_L2.bat file first, then Uninstall_L3.bat. Then download the latest version of the software for the printer FROM HERE and try installing it.
