Connecting new printer to laptop by wireless network

Followed the installation procedure from HP laptop with successful diagnostic results but could not get it to work from 'print' instruction from laptop.Checking the computer settings it shows an HPenvy 5530 driver (offline) with my two jobs requested today in a queue.Where have I gone wrong?

Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I understand you have installed an Envy 4507 on your Windows 8 PC and are unable to print. I can certainly help with that. First we'll need to refresh some connections.Turn the printer off.While the printer is turned off unplug your router for one minute.Once you have internet connection again turn the printer on.Now we'll need to clear that old print queue and add a new one.Close all of the programs you have open.Open your Control Panel.Go to Printers and Scanners.In this window right click on the Envy 5530.Left click on Remove Device.Repeat for any other printers listed.Now click on Add a Printer at the top.Select your printer and click on next.Follow the pompts to install the driver.Try printing.Let me know how this works. If it helps you then please click on Accept as Solution below my post.
I hope this helps and I hope you have a great week!

Can't connect new macbook to D-Link wireless network

Just purchased a new aluminum 13" macbook last weekend. I have an existing D-Link DIR-655 wireless router with 2 Dell laptops, 2 iPhones, and 1 Sirius Stilleto connected with WAP Personal Security and MAC address filtering working just fine. I added the new macbook's MAC address to the router but the macbook will only connect to the wireless network using WEP (with MAC address filtering), but not WAP (with or without the MAC address filtering on). When I try to connect with WAP I get one of two messages - either "connection failed" or "incorrect password". I've verified the password. Any suggestions?

Contacting your ISP would be the best thing to do. If you haven't already, Apple put out the Airport Update 2008-004 which updates a lot of issues with the aluminum Macbooks wireless. I have the new one also and that update fixed a lot of my problems. But if you are still having a problem you are best calling your internet service provider (ISP).
Hope this helps a little.

HT1595 Trying to connect my new apple tv to the wireless network. When I try to use the remote, the Apple TV doesn't respond (doesn't go to the next screen). Could this be caused by a weak wireless signal?

It is not properly connected to the network.
Make sure location is set correctly
DNS should be on auto (settings - general - network)
Try ethernet
Signal strength on device won't account for issues, you would need a network report from istumbler, netstumbler or similar. This will show accurate signal strength along with noise and nearby networks

I would like to add my Deskjet F4480 printer to my home wireless network. How can this done?

I have a Linksys wireless router that is the hub of my home wireless network. I have been successful in adding a HP OfficeJet 6500 All-in-one Printer an old HP DeskJet 890C that I purchased in 1997 with a computer running Windows 95. The HP 890C has been my tireless workhorse throughout my two kids K-12 school as well as printing reams of paper during my MBA...and guess what: it still works. However, my daughter has just returned home from college and she has a HP DeskJet F4480 printer/scanner that she would like to add it to the home network. I have been researching the problem, but haven't been successful in finding out if this printer is compatible to add to a wireless network. Or simply, will a 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter suffice? I am also adding a new Windows 7 laptop in the network, that will need to print to this F4480. I patiently await the forum's response.

My mistake, it seems that price was a deciding factor when I purchased the F4480 in lieu of a more expensive wireless ready printer-scanner. I will eventually come-up with a solution as I did with the 890C where I have a wireless print server connected directly to the printer serial connection. It seems that backward compatible is still evident, but I am having some problems coming up with the long-lasting HP49 and HP23 tri-color ink packs.
Here is the rub; I don't replace technology because it is out-dated. I upgrade and or repair everything myself. I found warranties not worth the paper their written on and in most cases, the technical support was lacking. My Win95 desktop went thru several major components until I found that it was becoming harder to find software to run with it. I finally replaced it in 2007. Now it seems that there has been a paradigm shift toward utilities that are very hungry for memory, and even if I didn't want to, I am forced to come over to the dark side with a device that has a minimum of 8GB of RAM.

Connecting a wrt54g to an existing wireless network

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a second wireless network by connecting a wrt54g to our existing wireless network?
Our main router is upstairs, connection in the downstairs office is terrible, plus it's being used by a team that would like their own network anyways. Can I plug the wrt54g into the main router, assign it a static external IP and create a second wireless network?
thanks

great thread toomanydoughnuts, thanks! all the hours I spend googling for an answer are such a waste when I can post a specific question and a human being answers me back :-)
I see that what I was trying to do is possible but before I start let me ask your opinion.
My initial goal for a seperate network was to give Router 2 a static external IP and connect our server to router 2 so external users would always be able to access it at the same address in case Router 1 ever had an IP change (I don't have constant access to router 1 and am not supposed to be fiddling with it!)
The secondary goal was to improve the wireless signal for those of us downstairs and I figure having Router 2 down there would provide a nice strong signal.
I have realized now that dyndns can solve my issue with Router 1's IP changing (even if it's once a month it's an issue for remote users accessing our server). Dyndns will re-point our host name to the new IP if it ever changes.
But I still have the issue of a very weak signal in the downstairs office.
Because I'm seeking the simplest, easiest to manage solution as I'm far from a network guru, do you think a better option may be to get a repeater or something like that for our downstairs office to just boost the signal from Router 1? If so, any recommendations?
thanks in advance for your time
Oh, and if I did go the route of setting up Router 2, could I give Router 2 a static external IP address?

How to connect my mac to only one wireless network?

How to connect my mac to only one wireless network?

Do you mean that there are several wireless networks within range, and you don't want it switching between them?

Trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network. It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect. Any suggestions? We have an Airport Extreme.

I am trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network. It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect. Their tech support said the problem is with the router and we may need to open ports 80, 443 and 4348. We have an AirPort Extreme and I scanned for open ports and found 80 already open but the others are not. Tried using Port Mapping, putting the port number 443 in both the Public UDP and TCP fields and the Private UDP and TCP fields also. The Private IP address defaulted to 10.0.1.201 which is right outside of the DHCP range. Will this be the IP of the bike or should I change it to something else? Are the values I put in the fields totally wrong? Bike is still not connecting. Thanks for any help!

Here's an update:
Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

Mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

mac mini won't connect to printer unless other mac on network turned on

Copy the IP address of the printer from the Mac that can connect to it by itself. The IP shows when you start any print job.
Disable Printer sharing on this Mac.
Go to the Mac that cannot connect by itself and set up the printer from scratch using the printer's IP. To do this:
System Preferences / Print & Scan, then click the + sign, nxt select Add Printer or Scanner and click on IP. Fill in the info.

Connecting Time Capsule to existing Netgear wireless network

Hi, hope someone can help please?
Have a MacBook Pro and Time Capsule. Want to use TC just for wireless back up with Time Machine. I'm trying to connect it to my existing Netgear wireless network. I've been through the set up process with Airport Utility. It can find the TC on it's own default Apple network, but when I select add to existing network my Netgear network is not showing from the drop down menu (but my neighbours networks are). If I type it in and add it manually the TC restarts but just continues searching for network (flashing amber) and does not connect. I have administrated my Netgear router to allow access to the TC's airport ID and I can't think what else to try.
Can anyone help please?

Hmmm.
There are several IDs for the TC. AirPort IDs and an ethernet or MAC address.
If you have a dual band TC, there are separate AirPort IDs for 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. I'm not sure if the TC can join another manufacturer's network at 5 GHz, but it should be able to join at 2.4 GHz.
Is that what you entered? If you entered this ID and it does not connect, then try the MAC address of the Time Capsule. I don't have one handy at the moment, but I'm pretty sure the MAC address is on the bottom of the device. The AirPort ID should be there as well.

Connecting network Printer to laptops via wireless

My daughter received a new Toshiba laptop for Christmas to help with her school work and I have been working to get it setup. I have nearly everything working fine including a network connection for internet through my network router, but I am having difficulty with connecting the laptop to my network printer. I have a Belkin F7D3302 v1 wireless router that serves as my network router and this Belkin router is connected via an ethernet cable to my desktop and the router is also connected wirelessly to my Alienware laptop (both run Windows 7) - I have full connectivity with both of these computers and no printing issues - I also have an older Sont Vaio laptop that runs Windows XP SP3 - it is also connected wirelessly to the network and I can print from this computer without any problem. I went into my daughter's computer to install the printer and although it found the printer the TEST PAGE would not print and the computer shows the printer as being offline. I did do a look at the Network Config on the printer and it shows the IP address as all zeros which I found odd, but my Alienware and Sony are conected so I should be able to get my daughters laptop to connect. Any help would be appreciated to get my daughters laptop connected to the printer

I have rebooted the laptop multiple times while using HP Scan and Print doctor, but to no avail. I am baffled largely because the ISP service connected between the Belkin router and the laptop without any difficulties and although when I click on Add Printer it shows the network printer it shows the status as offline continuously - when i try to start the HP software direct on the laptop (I installed the original HP software to the laptop) it says it cannot start because the printer has not finished installing. I am guessing it is either a Win 8.1 issue of some sort.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 does not connect to laptop via wireless network

I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8610. It is connected wirelessly to my home network. My laptop, running Windows 7, is connected to the same network, but cannot find the printer. I have tried turning everything off and resetting the router, but still have the same issue - my laptop cannot find the printer.
I am able to email a document from my laptop to the printer using the printer's email address.
What can I do to get my laptop to find the printer on the wireless network?

Hey!
This is an issue with your wireless, you either have to get your router looked at you are looking at relocating your printer and your router so they are closer together. If you are able to connect all of your devices to the network fine when you are in the same room; Call HP Technical Phone Support.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps.

HP Deskjet F4280 - can print test page but nothing else on new Windows 7 laptop on home network

I hope you can help me. I have an HP Deskjet F4280 set up on my desktop computer running Windows Vista Home Premium 64x. I've also got a home network on a D-Link Wireless N router.
My new laptop is a Toshiba with Windows 7. I can connect to the network no problem and can add the printer (attached to my desktop via USB) and can print the test page. My problem is that I can't print any other documents. When I check the print queue all it says is "spooling" and then after a few seconds the job just disappers from the queue.
I connected the printer directly to the laptop and dowloaded the drivers for Windows 7 and it works fine. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all software on both computers. I've spent hours trying different solutions I've found on this web-site and others...and nothing works! I am very frustrated to say the least.
Is there any way you can help me???

Hi Lisamcgack,
Print sharing is a Microsoft supported application. Since the printer is working on the computers independently. Then this would be an issue between the operating systems. Check out the following Microsoft document on print sharing.

Connecting Laptop to Wireless Network

I have been trying for days to connect my laptop to my Wireless Home Network on Windows XP. Verizon sent a new modem router. - DLINK 2750B. It works just fine with DESKTOP and at other rooms wired for CAT5.
However, can't get laptop setup to work. Tried all avenues on Verizon website - none work. I am following the manual steps and get as far as VIEW AVAILABLE WIRELESS NETWORKS. Neighbors ones show up but ours DOES NOT. Do I have to do anything with the DLINK before it can be recognized??

you needto login to the dlink and chanhe the wireless channel and try to connect again.
only use channels 1, 6 & 11
open abrowser and go to http://192.168.1.1
If you didn't change your gateway's default password when you set up your router, it may have been changed to your gateway router's serial number to provide greater security. You can find your router's serial number on a label affixed to the bottom or back of your gateway.
