Connecting wirelessly to a office copier/ printer

I am trying to connect wirelessly to the multifunction copier/ printer at work. I would like to be able to send files to my mailbox that is stored on the printer side of the machine. I am connected to my job's staff wireless internet. However, I have no idea where to even start... Please help!

Hi!
A couple of things to figure out...
1.) Is the printer you're trying to access on the same network you're currently connected to in the office? Reason I ask, some offices have one subnet for WiFi and another subnet for Ethernet (for security reasons).
2.) If so, what type of printer is it? You may require printer drivers for that specific unit to be installed onto your computer.
3.) If so, what is the IP address of the printer? Does it support Bonjour network services?
You can connect to a printer over a network, typically by adding it via the default browser. The default browser is accessible via the "Add a Printer" dialog box which is selected within "Print & Fax" via System Preferences.

Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly

Hello all,
My Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly.
The printer does no show up while searching for it wirelessly where it had previously.
In the past it would say that the printer (HP Series 7300) was offline. I would remove the device through the control panel and search again. A printer would be found as HP Series 7300 (Copy 1) . A "ghost" of the original would remain as an offline device. I would default to the new printer icon, Copy 1, and it would work. This happened over the course of a year without any problems.
Now nothing is working. The printer can't be found by my network. I tried downloading drivers, etc. from HP but they either can't download or stop during installation. I don't know if an Windows 8.1 update affected it.
Although the printer has a built in network set up option, it has no installation wizard. I can't find a way to activate the wireless feature/icon. There is no I.P. address either.
I feel like a monkey pulling levers for a banana! I appreciate your help.

Hey @Kathlanta ,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
I understand you are having issues with your HP Officejet 7310xi connecting and staying on your network. Going through all of this is making you feel much like this;
By the end of this I want you feeling more like this;
Now let's get to the bottom of this and have some fun doing it! (and no, I have not completely adopted the idea that you are a monkey, but for the time being, seems most fitting LOL )
Ok, so what we are going to start with here is; a full print system uninstall and reinstall and run it through USB to test the printers functionality.
Here is how you uninstall the whole printer software on 8.1 >> Uninstalling The Printer
Here is how you install the drivers offline (use the appropriate links to get your steps) >> Installing HP Printer Software for a USB Connection in Windows 8
You wont need to worry about the wireless right yet until we figure out if the rpinter hardware is ok or not. So sit tight on that portion, I'll get that all back and working later after we figure this stuff out now.
Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a good one!

I have Uverse 5031NV and am trying to connect wireless HP 4620 printer.

I have the UVerse 5031NV router. When I follow the setup instructions to set up HP 4620 printer, it can either set up by push button, or PIN. I don't know where the WPS button is on the router, nor how to input the given PIN from the printer. Or is there another way to connect wirelessly the printer to router?

Hi IKnowIndigo,
There are a few possible causes of the error. Generally speaking, you want to confirm that the network IP Address settings, Send Function Setting Tool activation, and Send-to-Email settings are all configured properly.
Please note that if in an office setting, we recommend that your IT Department/Network Administrator setup your scanning to email feature because we will not know information like your port numbers and so on.
However, whether your laser product is an office setting or setup on a personal network of your own, it is recommended to contact our technical support group to isolate the cause. At that time, it will be helpful to have initial information such as your operating system and version; if you have an on site e-mail server such as an MS Exchange server or a Domino server; or, if you are using an off-site email server such as Yahoo or Gmail.
Please feel free to contact us and we will be glad to help.

How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

Hi Kappy,
Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
Appreciate any help you can provide.

HP Deskjet Printer has stopped connecting wirelessly?

My HP Dekjest 3050 printer has been working perfectly well for approximately one year. it has suddenly decided it cannot locate my home wireless network?! The blue 'wireless' light is flashing slowly and on the HP support website the solution is to move the device closer to the router. I have done this but to no avail. When I connect manually through a USB connection it is fine so the printer is working, but the wireless function has come to a grinding halt.
If I can find a solution it would be great (or someone I can talk to who can help me)?
Many thanks

Hello Steve,
Thanks for the feedback, if the printer is reporting a WPS error, then your printer is attempting to connect itselves to your router using the Wireless Protected setup, this can be via either a button press on your router (if supported by your router) or via a PIN code generated by the router you got.
I would try to cancel this or disable the attempt to connect it via the WPS setup and try to config the settings via USB cable or with the Wizard wireless setup (if available in your printer). This would make it easier if the WPS is not a option, the way I see it, is that at the time being, your printer is in a loop and attempt to keep reconnecting and if not supported, then it will keep failing.
If you can not cancel this loop then a reset might be required, in this case I would recommend to contact your local HP support so that they can execute a reset and reset it all to default settings, from there on they can assist you with the install and reconfig of your printer.
Hope it helps!
Kind regards,
van Baardewijk

HT2250 I have been able to get my MacBook Pro to print wirelessly through my Airport device. How do I make it so other computers (non-Mac) can also print wirelessly as well? They are able to connect through my wireless network but can't print.

Well, you could install the drivers to the wireless printer in you other computers.

I recently replaced my dead airport router with a netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer and yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline".

I recently replaced my dead airport router with a Netgear91-5g router and synced it successfully to my Lexmark Pro 915 printer and my computer; yet when I try to print wirelessly I get the message: "printer not connected; printer offline". Lexmark support verified that my printer was connected to the new router and the problem was with the computer's printer configuration and they could reconfigure it online if I paid for their "Premium Support" services ($119 for one year, 3 fixes). I declined, feeling sure that this is something I could do if I knew how. Could it be an incompatability issue with OS 10.8.3?

You saved me $$$ that I can ill afford on my fixed income. I was very unhappy with the "support" from Lexmark... what a rip off! Thank you dwb!

Asus laptop will no longer connect wirelessly to HP printer

My Asus laptop was connected to my HP PhotoSmart 7420 printer, wirelessly with no issues. In the last month, I upgraded my Comcast internet service to the fastest speed Comcast has available. In addition, I replaced my router ( Linksys Model: WRT1900AC) & range extender (NetGear Universal Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender, 4-port Wi-Fi Adapter). Every WiFi related item in my home works much better with the exception of the printer. On my laptop, I removed the HP printer and asked the laptop to search for it to re-install; the laptop indicates "no printers available"? Even my desktop PC sends error messages indicating that the "scan to computer" feature no longer works when, in fact, it does work?
Help!

Hi @TSimo,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I wasn't able to find much on a Photosmart 7420, did you perhaps mean Photosmart 7520?
If that is correct, this may just be a case of needing to reconnect the printer to the wireless network again due to the upgraded router and extender
To do this, please restore the network defaults on the printer (press the wrench on the printer's touch screen, select Wireless, then select Restore Network Defaults, should be the last option) and once that completes go back to the same Wireless menu on the printer and run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer. This will update the connection on the printer itself.
After this completes you will need to remove the driver and re-add it on the computer. How this is done depends on the operating system, so if you're not sure how to remove the driver and re-add it, please let me know which operating system you use and I will get you some instructions
Hope to hear from you soon!

the modem is a UBEE DDW366

Temporarily remove and disable all security on the router. Now try to connect to your unsecured SSID. Are you successful? If yes, go back and add WPA2-AES with your password and try to connect again.

Samsung 325W Printer Problem - Connecting wirelessly

Hi,
I recently bought the above printer and installed it according to the instructions. Everything seems to be fine, but when I haven't used the printer for a day or so, my iMac 'loses' it and I have to reinstall it all again. This is obviously a PITA!
Has anyone had a similar problem with this printer and managed to resole it, please?
I also have a HP multifunction device which is also connected wirelessly and this seems to work without too many issues, although it also disappears occasionally.
Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind. A reinstall did it!

Problem connecting wirelessly to printer

Hi, I used to be able to connect wirelessly to my HP Envy 120, and then for some reason it stopped working from my Macbook - I can still print from my iPad, and my daughter can print from her PC. Any ideas?

Hello themaven. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Does your client's ISP require that she registers the MAC address of the device that will be connected to their Internet service? If not, then it is possible that the communication between the Internet modem & the Time Capsule (TC) has not been properly established.
I suggest trying the following:
o Power-down the modem, TC, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical.
o Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
o Power-up the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
o Power-up the computer(s).
The computer(s) should now have Internet connectivity from the TC whether they are connected to it by Ethernet or wireless. Please post back your results.

Can't connect wireless printer to wired PC in wireless/wired network

We have HP Officejet 6500A Plus (E710n-z) printer
Wireless router with 4 ethernet connections (SAGEMCOM 2864) - some pcs connect wirelessly and we have 3 connected via ethernet (network has several printers, 2 netbooks, IPad, 2 laptops and 4PCs currently configured - but with 5 active users it changes frequently)
Am able to connect printer to wireless PCs, laptops, etc - but cannot connect to wired PCs (running windows XP-home version)
I'd like to avoid forcing IP address for printer (everything else is automatic) - Is there another workaround?
I do have another printer connected wirelessly to both wireless and wired PCs
Install / troubleshooting software assumes network is either all wired or all wireless
I don't mind using fixed IP address for install, but prefer not to use for ongoing connections
Thanks for your help

PS - one computer has problem with "serscan.sys" file not found - this can, I believe, be resolved once I find download *since no longer have the windows XP install discs

Hi Nancy,
Have you tried running the HP Netwrok Diagnostic Utility, which is available at www.hp.com/go/tools? I no longer have a WinXP machine so I can't verify that it works on WinXP but, assuming it does, it could help you diagnose the problem.
Regarding using a static IP address, it is a really good idea (especially since it sounds like you know how to assign one to your printer). It even helps to have a static IP once things are up-and-running because it generally prevents your PC's from losing contact with the printer.
