Connection of Photosmart Plus 209a to new wireless network

Printer was originally connected to Apple modem. Recently moved and new IP provided Cisco router w/ WPS. I reset network config on printer to factory default, then attempted WPS connection several time with no success. Tried with pin and without with same result. I need to get this printer connected.

Forget WPS and PIN method. Always connect manually. Replacing/changing your wireless router try here. http://www.hp.com/global/au/en/wireless/reconfiguring-system-help3.html

I some how disabled my wireless address on hp photosmart plus 209a print. I need to know how to turn it back on.

DId you just turn off the radio (does the blue light indicate that)? If so, go to Setup > Network and turn the radio back on.
Or did you reset the defaults?
Does your router have WPS? What brand/model is your router?

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 Plus 209a-m install for Windows 8 not working, driver problem?

I am trying to install the driver/software for HP Photosmart Plus 209a-m on my Windows 8 laptop and keep getting "the Wizard has detected a problem with the driver software for the selected printer". Seems like a catch-22 because that's why i'm trying to install it. I have a brand new hard drive (as of today) with nothing else on it except Norton, which i just installed. I shouldn't have corrupted drivers yet. if it's missing, why can't HP get it installed? I've downloaded hppiw and trying to install that. after i get the "problem with the driver" message, i select the option to install the full suite + driver, and it attempts another download (why is it doing that when i already downloaded the software?), then fails with "Your download was cancelled. You can attempt the download again by clicking Retry". Anybody know how to get me out of this loop and get the software installed?

hi,
sometimes norton does block the installation or the drivers download...
i would suggest you to turn of norton and complete the installation and then turn it back on..

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

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
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
Be sure to look for Updates as needed for your installation. If available, you may download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities.
If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
NOTES:
Look at the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer for helpful videos to assist with the installation of the printer software!
Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
If using a USB connection: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
Ethernet: Connect the printer to the network and (Optional) assign the printer an IP address at the router. Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is switched on and then install the printer software.
After the initial installation is complete and working, check / install Category - Update
There is valuable information at the support website, including sections for Manuals, Troubleshooting > How-to, Troubleshooting > Solve a Problem, plus alerts and notifications for your printer. Be sure to take an extended look at what is available. Bookmark the page.

HT1178 Do I want to create a new wireless network or join my current network? I can't connect an ethernet cable to the Mac / printer and to the wireless modem at same time - in two different rooms.

I am trying to set up Time Capsule so that I can do my first backup (after 1 1/2 years!) with Time Machine. I have read other forums, but in each case they instructions eventually do not apply.
I have connected my TC to my existing wireless router. This sits in a bedroom and cannot be moved as a rental home.
I have plugged in the TC and updated the software.
Now - do I want to A Create a New Wireless Network (remember I can't connect the TC to Mac using an Ethernet cable). B Replace an existing base station or wireless router with TC (only intend to use for TM as don't know other benefits as of yet). or C want TC to join current network.
Thinking C. If I choose C, it then asks A TC to wireless join current network (NO as already connected using Ethernet). B want to connect TC to my network using Ethernet to extend my existing wireless network. C want to disable the wireless network on this TC and connect it to my computer or network using Ethernet - CANNOT do this as devices can not be in the same room.
Or do I want to create new wireless network - first set of questions - choice A? What is the benefit to creating a new one when I won't be in this rental house for longer than 18 more months??
Please help and quickly! Thanks!

Let me suggest some things.
But first ask exactly what wireless router you have now and what type of broadband service?
Are you happy with the wireless on the current router? If so, then you can plug the TC straight into whatever computer you have by ethernet, short 1M cord with no connection to the network. And use it without affecting your existing network at all. This is trivial setup.
Although you don't say exactly what Mac and printer you are using, is it a desktop? Laptop it is definitely easier not to plug it in, but a desktop you can plug in the TC and it will all sit happily together.
How is the printer connected and to what?
I am not sure why you need such quick help.. this is all minor setup stuff.. and 18months in todays world is like permanent man.
Your multiple A, B, C are more confusing than helpful.
The best choices without more info.. are to replace the existing wireless router with the TC. ie your option B.. but how to do this depends on the type of connection. Is it cable or adsl? Can you easily bridge the existing modem router.. if that is what it is?
Think carefully in the ideal world what would you like..
and what do you have..
We can probably suggest ways and means to fit what you like to what you have.. without introducing a stack of options that are doing your head in.

Connecting a macbook pro to a verizon wireless network

how do i connect a macbook pro to a verizon wireless network? Wi-Fi connection automatically assigns an IP address and indicates that the Mac won't be able to connect to the internet. Two other MacBook Pros connect to the network without any problems. These Macs travel from home to school and back again and automatically reconnect when they are brought into the house.

I have read a few corporate IT policies and they are all PC-centric.
Unless your mac runs any windows tools such as Bootcamp Wine, Crossover, or a VM in parallels or VMware then your mac has no virus implications.
A few years ago word documents could be infected with macro viruses and although did not affect a mac a mac could pass them on. Up to date versions of Microsoft Word documents are not vulnerable to this flaw.
You could install ClamAV its a free anti virus app for the mac that would keep your IT dept happy.
Maybe I can find out what the WEP key is with a utility of some kind.
If you had a compatible usb wifi dongle and kismac you could crack their WEP key but this would be probably illegal in your country so I dont condone this activity but if you got written permission from your employer to give them a free penetration test, something that normally involves hiring a security company this would save them money and highlight the insecurity on their network.
Or use an Ethernet connection.

I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks.

I have an ipad3 which has been spontaneously restarting and is not connecting well to either mobile service or wireless networks. It has become unusable. Is there a software update to fix this issue?
I have tried removing and reinserting the sim card - I am not even being asked to put in the sim pin to unlock the sim
I have reset the network settings and reconnected to my wireless network. I can get onto the wireless network but the ipad does not connect to my carrier even though my mobile phone (same carrier) has great service.
It seems to me that due to the connecton issue the ipad then restarts itself so I cant even use it for the local apps that do not require any connection to run because every few minutes the unit reboots.
heading to an istore tomorrow to have it looked at but wondered if there is a software upate or setting I can change myself to fix this isse.
not happy after the cost of the unit and ony had a few days use before the issues started!

Thanks Alan,
in the end it was replaced at the Apple iStore, they restored factory settings and it was still playing up for them too. Weird but the replacement is working perfectly!!

TS1559 Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

Since upgrading my iPhone5 to the newest iOS (6.1.2) I can longer connect to WiFi. It sees the wireless network but will not connect.. Other devices in my home that weren't upgraded can connect just fine.

I had the same problem. I did the reset networks on my iPhone & it did not work. My husband read somewhere that changing the channel on the router to manual & selecting the highest available channel number might help. I did that & it solved the problem. I have not had the problem since.

Connecting HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m to a new WiFi connection without attaching the printer cable

Hi All,
I have recently changed my ISP and so new WiFi network has been set up at home.
Now I want my printer (HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m) to connect to the new network.
Is there a way I do this without having to attach a printer cable between my laptop and the printer?
Thanks

Yes, on the front of the printer: Setup > Wireless > Restore Defaults.
Now on your computer, in the HP folder, run the Printer Setup and Software to add the printer to your new network.

Unable to connect to new wireless network in Mountain Lion with Photosmart C4780

I have a Photosmart C4780 and have just upgraded my imac to Mountain Lion. HP are not providing new drivers for my printer as they say it will work with Mountain Lion. I have downloaded software updates. However, I have just changed my wireless network as I have a new broadband provider but am unable to connect to it. My problem is that the set up assistant software provided which I used originally to set up does not work with Mountain Lion.
Any ideas please?

I have solved my problem, I've bought an Epson. It works perfectly. If HP can treat their customers with such disinterest and contempt I don't want to give them my money.

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.
