Connecting Printer to a new Wireless network (changed network provider)

I have recently changed broadband provider and I am struggling to connect my printer (HP Deskjet 3050A All in One Printer) to my new wireless network.
I have clicked on HP within programs and tried to set up the printer but my laptop is not recgonising that the printer is connected via the cable so its not picking up the printer in order for me to set it up as a new device.
Help please??

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
The easiest way to deal with this may be to install (reinstall) the Full Feature Software for the printer onto your computer.
The installation procedure includes a connection process that might resolve the issue for you without adding any more stress to the situation.
Along with the basic instructions and install videos, you can find lots of helpful Troubleshooting / Howto help at the printer's website support pages.
TIP: You do want to disconnect the USB cable from the printer before you install / reinstall the software.
General Instructions to Install the Printer Software
Reminder:
In most cases, the Solution Center has been replaced by the Printer Assistant.
The Printer Assistant shortcut will be installed on your Desktop during the last part of the installation.
Windows Operating System:
Create Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Open HP Drivers & Downloads
Enter your Printer Model information
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
OR
Open HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One Printer series - J611

Cannot find instructions on how to connect printer to a new wireless network.

HP 4500 series was connected to my wireless network successfully for a year. Upon moving and obtaining new wireless network I cannot find instructions for changing wireless network for printer to recognize.

Hi,
Just connect printer to a new Network, like a brand new printer. Here are the manuals (many parts).
Good luck.

How do I connect my printer to a new wireless network?

I currently have a MacBook Pro and HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-one printer. I have had the printer a long time, and have since lost the cable to connect it to my laptop, and any paperwork or cds recieved with it.
I have been unable to figure out how to change my printer's settings so it is connected to my new house's wireless network, the wireless test report showed it is trying to connect to my old one in another town. I have a usb cable I can borrow to hook the printer up to my laptop, but would like to be able to just print wirelessly. Is there any way to do so?

If you want to change your existing connection to a wireless network, follow these instructions.
Open HP Device Manager.
Figure 5: HP Device Manager icon
From the Information and Settings drop-down menu, click Setup Assistant .
The HP Setup Assistant window opens.
Follow the on-screen instructions to change your connection type to an existing wireless network.

Can't Connect OfficeJet 7410 to new wireless network - used to work on old one

Hi, I'm on a Mac OS. I just upgraded my wireless network to use an airport extreme. I have a verizon fios router - same as I had when it used to connect. The only change was adding the airport extreme. Now, the officejet 7410 all-in-one will not connect to the wireless connect. It SEES the name of the network, and asks me for a WEP Key, which it didn't used to do. It used to ask me for the network password. I found the WEP key on the router and it acts like it is trying to connect but takes a long time and then gives me an error. One time it never gave me an error and seemed like it had worked, but was not connected. It just gave up.
My configuration page indicates offline with no active connection and wireless status disconnected.
I restarted everything with no change. I don't know why it would be asking me for a WEP key this time and then not accept it but that was the first indication that something was different when it didn't ask me for the network password.
Also, as a separate issue but related. In trying to fix this, I deleted my drivers to reinstall and see if I started over that it would work. That created another problem in that now it seems that HP no longer supports a driver for this printer. Is that even possible? It's not that old. It says it does not exist on the software update. Please help!

Hi YSJA,
I'm sorry to hear you've had problems accessing your Officejet 7410 since adding the AirPort Extreme to your home network.
I have included a link to HP's Wireless Printing Center troubleshooting section. It has section, "Was anything changed or updated on your router recently?" that has detailed steps to help you resolve the issue.

How to print from an Ipad2 3G without changing networks?

I bought my elderly parents an Ipad 3G for Christmas because they cannot get anything but dial-up service at their home for a computer. We also bought an HP printer with AirPrint and e-Print. However, in order to print to the printer, you must turn off the 3G network and enter a wireless network that the printer is on. Well, going into setting and changing every time they want/need to print is simply to technical for them. is there any way to print directly to the printer, wirelessly, using either the AirPrint or this e-Print that HP has? Has anyone written a 3rd party app that will do this? Why doesn't Apple fix this issue since people are paying very expensive prices plus monthly fees to have the 3G versions so they can gain internet access. IMHO, without the ability to print to a printer while on the 3G and connected to the internet, the thing is near useless. Apple has really dropped the ball, here, and I think that this is very unlike Apple not to have thought of this.
Does anyone know of an app that when you need to print and push print, will automatically switch to the printer network, send the file to the printer, and then swithch back. I think this is a poor way to do this, but at least it is a way to do it that won't require my parents to get all upset trying to go into settings and fool with turning networks on and off.
Thanks,
JJ the mustang man

JJ-
I do not have the 3G model. Is this a real problem, or just one you are worried will happen? I was under the impression that the 3G iPad would change its Internet connection between WiFi and 3G as needed, but would continue to print via WiFi regardless of how it accessed the Internet.

Cannot print remotely with new Wireless HP Officejet 4630

My old HP printer died last week, which is okay because I was in need of a new one. I chose the HP Officejet 4630 because it had the wireless printing option and was a 4-in-1. I work from home and I remote in to my office computer in another location. With my old hp printer, I was able to print but was connected with a USB cable. With this new wireless printer I cannot print from my remote location. I have tried a few times, restarted the computer and printer but it still does not print. I am able to choose my printer when I am logged into my work computer remotely. This is a big issue as I need to print reports at home from my computer at work. I am using Windows 7 and I've printed the wireless network test results which came back A-OK. Has anyone else had this issue and figured out how to print? When I look at the printer queue there is nothing...
Please Help!
Thanks

I just want to add that I am able to print wirelessly from my computer but not when I am remoting in to my work computer.

Print to my new Wireless HP3522 ePrint printer

I have a new Wireless HP 3522 ePrint printer which I've set up correctly. My question is, when it goes into sleep mode when not used for awhile, if I print to it from a remote location, will it come on automatically and print at my house??? I cant get it to print unless I'm here and actually turn it on by pressing the on/off button again even though it is on and in sleep mode, light dimming on and off. Any help would be appreciated.
Terry

Do you have the same issue when trying to print from your computer while it is sleep mode?

Connecting printer to a new SSID

I have an Acer Chromebook. I cannot find how to get my printer to connect to my new SSID. There is no HP softeware/driver for the Chromebook. So I can't get my Chromebook to connect with my printer because my printer is offline. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hey @curesh,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum.
I understand you're looking to get your HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in-One Printer connected with your Acer Chromebook. I would like to assist you with this. I have some suggestions that may help you get setup.
Typically, it's easiest to complete wireless setup for this printer with a Mac or PC (classic computer) as you can convert the usb to wireless setup using the software. In lieu of having a classic computer, I recommend you try the alternative setup method.
Getting started try the following:
From your printer's front panel touch the wireless icon
Select Restore Defaults
Next, on your Chromebook look at the list of available networks - you should see your printer's network, which will likely appear as HP-Print-3520. Connect with it.
Next, in your web browser address bar type in 192.168.223.1 - this will load up your printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS).
Click on the Network tab at the top and then the Wireless sub-heading on the left. Within that menu should be the Wireless Setup Wizard. Run that and input your home wireless network name (SSID) and password.
Once you've successfully enabled wireless, you can press the ePrint icon ( ) on your printer's front panel to enable webservices. This will print an info page which will include the printer's claimcode. This is the first half of your ePrint address preceding the @hpeprint.com portion. It will appear as randomized letters and numbers.
If you've successfully enabled wireless and webservices you will now have two methods of printing from the Chromebook:
ePrint via email:
Send anything you want to print to your printer's @hpeprint.com address via email.
If you're interested, you can customize your printer's ePrint address. Click here for more information.
2. Google Cloud Print:

Connecting officejet j6480 to new wireless router

We have an officejet j6480 all in one and we recently changed wireless routers and now the computers cant find the wireless printer. How do we get the computers to recognize the printer or visa versa. Thank you
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The printer can be associated with the new router by using the wireless setup wizard. Press the setup button and navigate to network and then the wireless setup wizard. You have to know the SSID of the new router and also any security settings.
Another method is to use the software CD on the computer:

Have you setup or changed the default SSID and security settings on the new router?

Officejet pro L7780 printer freezes after new wireless router wpa2 code is entered.

I recently changed routers and attempted to add the new WPA2 code. Using the wireless setup wizard on the printer it allowed me to get to the very end where the printer says network installed press OK to continue. Unfortunately pressing OK did nothing and all keys/buttons on the control panel do not respond. Tried removing the software, resetting the control panel by holding 6 & # during power off/on no help. Running windows 7 bit.

It could be that the printer does not support WPA2. Try WPA.

Printers Go To Sleep and will not wake up by a print job on the wireless or wired network

I have an OfficeJet 4620, and a PhotoSmart3210. The 4620 is wireless, the 3210 is plugged into the router and both are shared on the network. We are running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP1, the Router is a Linksys EA6500. The problem only occurs AFTER the printers go to sleep, their "Energy Saving Mode". I use That term with tongue in cheek as the energy required to get them back up and running, as well as lost productivity "fixing" a printer is a royal pain. Once they go to sleep I have to, at least, go to them and hit the "OK" button to wake them up. About 50% of the time this works, another 25% I have to re-boot the printer, and the final 25% I have to re-share it on the network. My question is: How do I turn off this "feature" (powersaving mode) on both? Nothing in either manual suggests that a way even exists. You can change the time (up to 1/2 hr awake) but that is it.
Any suggestions, up to and including buying an Epson will be gratefully accepted.

Hello SeaDragon47.
The easiest solution to the "not waking from sleep" issue is to simply plug the printers directly into the wall outlet. Something about the manner in which surge protectors/power strips handle electricity doesn't sit quite right when electronics want to wake up.
Another possibility is to upgrade the firmware on the printers. Here is the latest firmware for the Officejet 4620. The Photosmart does not appear to have upgradable firmware.
Yet another suggestion is to set static IP addresses for the printer(s). I am not sure why but having a static IP set seems to keep the printer from going into sleep mode in the first place.
Let me know if this helps. Have a lovely day.

How to connect Time Capsule to existing wireless U-verse network?

I ordered a Time Capsule which I primarily want to use for back up, and at least at this point plan on using U-verse for internet access, wireless printing.
I have read many previous posts on this, and they are a little too technical for me! Would someone be willing to tell me the exact step-by-step details? I need them down to the last little thing, including what order to plug things in, power them up etc, as well as which settings to choose.
Thank you in advance for any help with this!

If you are not able to configure the O2 device as a bridge, your remaining option is to configure the Time Capsule in bridge mode.
The Guest Network feature is not available when the Time Capsule is configured as a bridge, but otherwise, you will be able to configure it to provide a dual band wireless network for your devices and also provide Ethernet connections if needed.
You can choose to ignore the wireless network provided by the O2 device, or if you have access to the configuration settings, it should be a simple task to turn off the wireless function of the O2 gateway.

Can't connect to internet with new wireless n "Extreme" modem

I've had a D-Link DI-604 router for about 4 years-- and wanted to go wireless with an Apple Extreme but first have borrowed my neighbor's D-Link DIR-635 to just see if this will work in my brick house etc. (3 stories, lots of cement and brick...)
Well I get as far as the 192.168.0.1 and then "clone" my MAC address (nothing to do with a Macintosh that...). Note: I was using the same computer to connect to the internet as I previously had used with the D-Link DI-604.
I also give a manual (easy-to-remember) 5-letter password to my wireless connection--
But although this "reboots" the modem, it does NOT let me connect to the internet...
So I'm back to my D-Link 604 cable (wired) only...
One thing the set-up asked for is my HOST name. The only thing I see in the Network System Preferences is an ethernet number: 00:16:cb:cd:6c:3e but I don't find a "HOST" name-- and is that really needed? (In Belgium I'm using an ISP provider "VOO")
Any comments really appreciated-- I could actually see a fairly strong signal from the wireless router (I named it "SteveHermee" and I could see strong bands even from the top floor, with router in the basement...)-- but I could never connect to the internet via CABLE (wired) or wireless.
Thanks,
Steve
