Deskjet 2610 disconnection and lights flashing, Windows 7 64 bit, wireless router

I have a Deskjet 2610xi All in One printer that is connected with an ethernet cord to my Netgear wireless router. I am using two Toshiba laptops both running Windows 7 64 bit and both are connected wirelessly. I did not have any problems printing before I installed the new HP Solution Center Software and the fix for Windows 7 connectivity problems from the HP website.
I installed the new driver because I couldn't use my old cd and driver from my original puchase to install the HP software on our new Toshiba laptops. After installing the new driver and software, I now had the functionality of the HP Solution Center and I could now scan, copy etc. with the new software. Not too long after that, my printer started disconnecting and all the lights would flash. The screen on the printer shows error 0x887dd03a. If I press the start button, I can get the printer reconnected for a short amount of time and my print jobs will go through, but it always goes back to the flashing.
I ran the HP Solution Center software to check for updates and was notified of the critical update for Windows 7 reliability. I installed the update, but the problem still exists.
I searched posts on this forum and one of them told me to allow the printers to be shared on the homegroup, which I did, but the problem still exists. I then found another post that told me to do a semi-full reset on my printer, which I did, but the problem still exists.
As mentioned earlier, my printer works as long as I press the start button to get the printer connected again, but it goes back to the error message and flashing lights again. I would like to keep the new software since it allows me to scan without being hardwired to my printer, but if I have to uninstall it, could someone please explain how I can scan documents on the printer directly to my computers wirelessly?
Also, I don't understand the whole Homegroup, Workgroup and Network Sharing settings, etc. so if that is the issue, please walk me through it step by step. I am not sure what the settings are now.
FYI, I went to my Devices and Printers and I see HP Photosmart 2600 series and HP Photosmart 2600 series (2) icons. The one for series (2) is the one checkmarked on both computers.
I am not a computer whiz and so I would appreciate any responses to be very basic. I have done all the research I can and still have the problem described.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I had a real problem with wireless performance on multiple ThinkPads with Win7 until I realized there is a new (or maybe changed implementation) power setting in Win7 which was affecting it.
If you go into Control Panel -> Power Options and click "Change plan settings" for your current power plan.
On the next screen click on "Change advanced power settings"
On the next screen expand "Wireless Adapter Settings" and then "Power Saving Mode"
Make sure it is set to Maximum Performance.
Not sure if this will help your particular problem but hope it does.

  • I want a new and more powerful (non-Apple) wireless router but I still want to use my existing Time Capsule to continue with my Time Machine backups and I still need the Time Capsule's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features and capabilities

    THE SHORTER STORY
    My goal is to successfully use my existing Time Capsule (TC) with a new and more powerful wireless router. I need a new and more powerful wireless router in order to reach a distant Denon a/v receiver that is physically located in a master bedroom some 50 feet away from my modem. I need to provide this Denon a/v receiver with an Internet connection so that it can obtain its firmware updates and I need to connect this Denon a/v receiver to my network in order to use its AirPlay feature. I believe l still need the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features because I am not sure if the new wireless router will provide me with the NAS like features / capabilities I need to share files between my two Apple laptops with OS X 10.8.2. And I know that I absolutely need my TC's seamless integration with Apple's Time Machine (TM) application in order to continue to make effortless backups of my two Apple laptops. To my knowledge nothing works with TM like Apple's TC. I also need the hard disk storage space built into the TC.
    I cannot use a long wired Ethernet cable connection in this apartment and I cannot use power-line adapters. I have read that wireless range extenders and repeaters are difficult to successfully set-up and that they will reduce data speeds, especially so when incorrectly set-up. I cannot relocate my modem and/or primary base station wireless router.
    In short, I want to use my TC with my new and more powerful wireless router. I need to stop using the TC to connect to the modem. However, I still need the TC for seamless TM backups. I also need to use the TC's built in hard drive for storage. And I may still need the TC's NAS capabilities to share files wirelessly between laptops because I am assuming the new wireless router will not provide NAS capabilities for OS X 10.8.2 (products like this/non-Apple products rarely seem to work with OS X 10.8.2/Macs to provide NAS features and capabilities). Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone please advise on how to set-up my new Asus wireless router with my existing TC in such a way to accomplish all of this?
    What is the best configuration or set-up to accomplish my above goals?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!
    THE FULL STORY
    I live in an apartment building where my existing Time Capsule (TC) is located in my living room and serves many purposes. Specially, my TC is at least all of the following:
    (1) Wi-Fi router connected to Comcast Internet service via Motorola SB6121 cable modem - currently the TC is the Wi-Fi base station that connects to the modem and has the gateway address to the Internet. The TC now provides the DHCP service for the Wi-Fi network.
    (2) Wireless router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to several Wi-Fi clients - two Apple laptop computers, an iPod touch, an iPad and an iPhone all connect wirelessly to the Internet via the TC.
    (3) Wired Ethernet router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to three different devices - a Panasonic TV, LG Blu-Ray player and an Apple TV each use one of the three LAN ports on the back of the TC to gain access to the Internet.
    (4) Primary base station in my attempt to extend my wireless network to a distant (located far away) Denon a/v receiver requiring a wired Ethernet connection - In addition to the TC, which is my primary base station, I am also using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. I cannot use a wired Ethernet connection to continuously travel from the living room to the master bedroom. The distance is too great as I cannot effectively hide the Ethernet cable in this apartment.
    (5) Time Machine (TM) backup facilitator - I use my TC to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops using Apple's Time Machine (TM) application. However, I ran out of storage space on my TC and therefore added external storage to it. Specifically, I added an external hard drive to my TC via the USB port on the back of the TC. I now use this added external hard drive connected to the TC via USB as the destination storage drive for my TM back-ups. I have partitioned the added external hard drive, and each of the several partitions all have enough storage space (e.g., each of the two partitions used by TM are sized at three times the hard drive space of each laptop, etc.). Everything works flawlessly.
    (6) Network Attached Storage (NAS) - In addition to using the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops via TM, I also store other additional files on both (A) the hard drive built into the TC and (B) the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB (there are additional separate partitions on this drive for these other additional and non-TM backup files).
    I use the TC's NAS feature with my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Again, everything works wirelessly and flawlessly. (Note: the Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet and a LAN port on the back of the TC).
    The issue I am having is when I try to listen to music via Apple's AirPlay in the master bedroom. This master bedroom is located at a distance of two rooms away from the TC's current location in the living room, which is a distance of about 50 feet. This apartment has a long rectangular floor plan where each room is connected to the next in a straight line. In order to use AirPlay in the master bedroom I am using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. This additional base station connects wirelessly to the WiFi network provided by my TC and then gives my Denon receiver the wired Ethernet connection it needs to use AirPlay. I have tried moving my iTunes music directly onto my laptop's hard drive, and then I used AirPlay on this same laptop to connect to the Denon receiver. I always get a successful connection and the song plays, but the problem is that the connection inevitably drops.
    I live in an apartment building and all of the many wireless routers in this building create a great deal of WiFi interference on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. I have tried connecting the Netgear product to each the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, but neither band can successfully maintain a wireless connection between the TC and the Netgear product. I also attempted to maintain a wireless connection to an iPod touch using the 2.4 GHz band and AirPlay on this iPod touch to play music on the Denon receiver. Again, I was able to establish a connection and successfully play music, but after a few minutes the connection dropped and the music stopped playing. I therefore have concluded that I have a poor wireless connection in the master bedroom. I can establish a connection, but it is intermittent with frequent drops. I have verified this with both laptops by working in the master bedroom for an entire day on both laptops. The Internet connection in this master bedroom proved to drop out frequently - about once an hour with the laptops. The wireless connection and the frequency of its dropout are far worse with the iPod touch and an iPhone.
    I cannot relocate the TC. Also, this is an apartment and I therefore cannot extend the range of my network with Ethernet cable (I cannot drill through walls/ceilings, etc.). It is an old building with antiquated wiring and power-line adapters are not likely to function properly, nor can I spare the direct power outlet required with a power-line adapter. I simply need every outlet I can get and cannot afford to block any direct outlet.
    My solution is to use a more powerful wireless router. I found the ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router which will likely provide a better connection to my wireless Internet in the master bedroom than the TC. The 802.11ac band of this Asus wireless router is totally useless to me, but based on what I have read I believe this router will provide a stronger connection at greater distances then my TC. And I will be ready for 802.11ac when it becomes more widely available.
    However, I still need to maintain the TC's ability to work seamlessly with TM to backup my two laptops. Also, I doubt the new Asus router will provide OS X 10.8.2 with NAS like features and capabilities. Therefore, I still would like to use the TC's NAS capabilities to share files on my network wirelessly assuming the Asus wireless router fails to provide this feature. I need a new and more powerful wireless router, but I need to maintain the TC's NAS features and seamless integration with TM. Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone advise on how to set-up my existing TC with this new Asus wireless router in such a way to accomplish all of this?

    In regards to a Plan B, I hear ya brother. I am already on what feels like Plan Z. Getting WiFi to a far off room in an apartment building crowded with WiFi routers is a major pain.
    I am basing my thoughts on the potential of a new and more powerful router reaching the far off master bedroom based on positive reviews on cnet.com, pcmag.com and pcworld.com. All 3 of these web sites have reviewed the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11AC wireless router as well as its virtual twin cousin 802.11n router. What impressed me is that all 3 sites rated this router #1 overall in terms of both range and speed (in both the 802.11n and 802.11AC flavors). They tested the router in real world scenarios where the router needed to compete with a lot of other wireless routers. One of the sites even buried this Asus router in a media room with thick walls and inside a media cabinet. This Asus router should be able to serve my 2.4 GHz band wireless clients (iPod Touch and iPhone 4) with a 2.4GHz Wireless-N band offering some 50 feet of dependable range and a 60 Mbps throughput at that range. I am hoping that works, but it's borderline for my master bedroom. My 5 GHz wireless clients (laptops) will enjoy a 5GHz Wireless-N band offering 150 feet of range and a 200 Mbps throughput at that range. I have no idea what most of that stuff means, but I did also read that Asus could reach 300 feet and I got really excited. My mileage may vary of course and I'm sure I'm making some mistakes in my interpretation of their data. However, my Winter 2009 Time Capsule was rated by cnet.com to deliver real world performance of less than that, and 802.11AC may or may not be useful to me someday. But when this Asus arrives and provides anything other than an excellent and consistent wireless signal without drops in the master bedroom it's going right back!
    Your solution sounds great, but I have some questions. I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and Airport Utility (version 6.1 610.31) and on its third tab labeled "Wireless" the top option enables you to set "Network Mode" to either:
    Create a wireless network
    Extend a wireless network
    Off
    Given your advice to "Turn off the wireless on the TC," should I set Network Mode to Off? Sorry, I'm clueless in regards to how to turn off the wireless on the TC any other way. Can you provide specific steps on how to turn off the wireless on the TC? If what I wrote is correct then what should the rest of this Wireless tab look like, or perhaps it is irrelevant when wireless is off?
    Next, what do you mean by "Configure the TC in Bridge Mode?" Under Airports Utility's fourth tab labeled "Network" the top option "Router Mode" allows for either:
    DHCP and Nat
    DHCP Only
    Off (Bridge Mode)
    Is your advice to Configure the TC in Bridge Mode as simple as setting Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)? If yes, then what should the rest of this "Network" tab look like? Anything else involved in configuring the TC in Bridge Mode or is it really as simple as setting the Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"?
    How about the other tabs in Airport Utility, can they all stay as is assuming I use the same network name and password for the new Asus wireless router? Or do I need to make any other changes to the TC via Airport Utility?
    Finally, in regards to your Plan B suggestion. I agree. But do you have a Plan B for me? I would greatly appreciate any alternative you could provide. Specifically, if you needed a TC's Internet connection to reach a far off corner of your home how would you do it? In the master bedroom I need both a wired Ethernet connection for the Denon a/v receiver and wireless Internet connection for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
    Power-Line Adapters - High Cost, Blocks at Least One Wall Outlet and Does Not Solve the Wireless Need
    I actually like exactly one power-line adapter, which is the D-Link DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch. This D-Link power-line adapter plugs into your wall outlet with a normal sized plug (regular standard power cord much like any other electronic device) instead of all of the other recommended power-line adapters that not only use at least one wall outlet but also often block the second outlet. You cannot use a power strip with a power-line adapter which is very impractical for me. And everything about my home is strange and upside down. The wiring here is a disaster and I don't have faith in its ability to carry Internet access from the living room to the master bedroom. And this D-Link power-line adapter costs $90 each and I need at least two to make the connection to the Denon A/V receiver. So, $180 on this solution and I still don't have a dependable drop free wireless connection in the master bedroom. The Denon might get its Ethernet Internet connection from the power-line adapter, but if I want to use an iPhone 4 or iPod Touch to stream AirPlay music to the Denon wirelessly (Pandora/iTunes, etc.) from the master bedroom the wireless connection will not be stable in there and I've already spent $190 on just the two power-line adapters needed.
    Extenders / Repeaters / Wirelessly Extending the Wireless Network
    I have also read great things about the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Range Extender (Repeater) SR20000G and the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender. The former is very powerful and the latter is easier to install. Both cost about $150 ish so similar to a new Asus router. However, everything I read about Range Extenders points to them not being very effective for a far off corner of your house wherein it's apparently hard to place the range extender in the sweet spot where it both gets a strong enough signal to actually effectively extend the wireless signal and otherwise does not reduce network throughput speeds to unacceptable speeds.
    Creating a Roaming Network By Hard Wiring with Ethernet Cable - Wife Would Say, "**** No!"
    Even Apple seems to warn against wirelessly extending your network (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145#) and otherwise strongly recommends a roaming network where Ethernet cable is used to connect two wireless base stations. However, I am in an apartment where stringing together two wireless base stations with Ethernet cable would have an extremely low wife acceptance factor (WAF). I cannot (both contractually and from a skill prospective) hide Ethernet wire in the walls or ceiling. And having visible Ethernet cable running from room-to-room would be unacceptable, especially to the wife.
    So what is left? Do you have a Plan B for me? Thanks in advance for your help!

    I have a preference for Corsair Products.  I suggest a PSU of at least 500W; 600 is even better.  Modular is a good way to go in smaller mid-size cases.  You only have to use the cables that are needed to connect a component.  This allows for more space for good airflow.

  • Syncing Apple TV and iTunes by third party wireless router - solution?

    I have been having lots of problems syncing my Apple TV with iTunes ever since I installed iTunes 7.6 including, Apple TV not appearing/disappearing in devices list, content not authorized, etc. I followed troubleshooting help, asked in store for advice, re-installed everything - nothing worked.
    Last night I installed the new combo 10.5.2 update and still got nowhere.
    However, I accidently disconnected the power to my wireless router (BT Homehub) and restarted it and iTunes recognised Apple TV and started to sync!!!
    So at last I have content on my Apple TV again. Only comment is that syncing is extremely slow, but at least it's working now.
    Mark

    I think your problem comes from unchecking the files. Unchecking will affect all devices synced with iTunes. Likely the easiest thing to do is edit the syncing method to sync selected playlists then manage the playlist contents.

  • Conecting AEBS and AExpress to a Verizon wireless router to extend network

    I have Verizon Fios and with that I have the wireless router that Verizon provides. The signal is great as long as I am in my office. However, in other rooms in the house the performance is decreased significantly. Before having this router I was set up with an AEBS and the performance was great.
    My question is, "how can I extend my network by linking the AEBS and/or the Express with the Verizon router?" I have to have their router so I would be using the AEBS or Express to boost the signal through my 2 story brick home.
    Please help if you can...thanks

    I'm not familiar with the Verizon FiOS-supplied routers, but you should be able to connect an AirPort Extreme Base Station to the FiOS router via Ethernet cable and create your own wireless network with all Apple devices set up in bridge mode.
    Turn off the wireless network on the FiOS router, if possible. The idea is that all wireless clients will receive IP addresses from the FiOS router but will connect to it wirelessly via the Apple devices.

  • Help with Verizon Router and Setting Up a Second Wireless Router

    I had my network set up until I had intermittent loss of the internet.  So I received a new Verizon router and I cannot figure out how to use the second wireless router which I used to have working just fine.
    The new Verizon router is the Actiontec MI424WR and it is installed in my basement and the signal is weak.  However there is a cat5 wire snaked up from the Actiontec router to my home office.  Currently that is plugged into the back of my computer for internet acess.  My second router is the Trendnet 300Mbps Wireless N Home router.  ANd this is the router that I would like to use (and used to use) to trasmit the internet connection throughout the house as well as use for a wired connection to my home security system.
    I attempted to plug the cat5 wire from the Actiontec into the back of the Nextrend router (1,2,3,4 and not the WAN) but then would lose the internet signal whether I attempted to log on via wired or wireless. Must be some kind of settings I need to change.
    Can anyone help me to understand how to add the second router?  I am relatively computer literate but cannot understand the instructions from Verizon.  Thanks in advance.

  • T510 - Mute, Mic, and light flash for 30 minutes before computer turns on

    I have a 3 day old T510 that takes 30 minutes to turn on.  When I press the power button, the MUTE button, MIC MUTE button, and the keyboard light above the LCD start blinking...  30 minutes later, the computer turns on.  This is only the first power on in the morning.  I disconnect power, remove battery..  same results.
    Any ideas?

    I would speculate that the power adapter and perhaps the battery are suspect.  A MBP should operate with just the power adapter connected.  If available, try another charger.  Once you can get the MBP operating you can investigate the status of the battery by opening System Information>Power.

  • EMac won't start and 3 beep sound and light flash

    My eMac suddenly got problem these days.
    Last night, eMac can boot and login. Suddenly, the monitor cant display property. Then, i enforced to power off. Later, trying restart it. eMac cannot start up and breeze 3 beep sound and flash power light.
    I checked support forum. It claimed that "3 beep - no good banks". Actually, i dont understand what it is. What i can i do??

    KY18,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    The three beeps mentioned in Power On Self-Test Beep Definition means that during the startup test of RAM, the Mac detected that there are DIMMs physically in one or both sockets, but that neither DIMM is functioning electrically.
    It's unlikely but possible that one RAM DIMM may have suddenly failed catastropicaly, far more unlikey if you have two DIMMs installed. A more plausible scenario, considering your mention of display problems, would be if the eMac were plugged directly into a wall outlet, or into a low-cost surge protector whose MOV hardware had degraded and failed (the status LEDs on low-end surge protectors are essentially worthless). If there was a power surge while you were using the computer, that could have blown out the RAM (and potentially damaged other hardware as well). Surch brownouts or surges are usually evident in the effect on room lights, clocks, and other elctronic devices plugged into the power outlets.
    As a longshot, you can try pulling the RAM DIMMs and then reseating them in the slots, making certain that the thumb clips holding the DIMMs have snapped fully into place after reseating them. Check the RAM installation instructions at eMac - Do-It-Yourself.

  • How to use iMac w/Airport and DSL connection as a wireless router ???

    My iMac G5 (with Airport) is connected via Ethernet to a DSL modem.
    I want to connect my iBook G3 (non-Airport) wirelessly through the G5 to access the internet in a small home network, (without a standalone router).
    I have a USB adapter (ASUS wl-167G) and MAC OS drivers for the iBook. I seem to be getting a connection to the Airport card in the G5, but nothing to the modem with Safari or Firefox.
    I need some detailed instructions on setting up the iMac to access the DSL normally AND pass through a wireless connection for the iBook.
    Future plans are to buy an Airport Express for stereo and printer purposes.
    If using the Express will greatly simplify what I'm trying to do here, please advise so, (and how), and I'll get one now.

    I think I may need to manually configure both Airport TCP/IP in the iMac, and the USB Adapter in the iBook but I don't know what values to enter for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Router.
    In way over my head, here. Any additional help is greatly appreciated.

  • HT1551 Have not used Apple tv for ages,plugged in light flashing,screen is showing iTunes logo and USB cable

    Plugged in my Apple tv to tv and light flashing non stop.Tv screen showing iTunes logo and USB cable.Not responding to anything

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • EStation - all three lights flash - have to restart to print.

    Hi, I have a new eStation C510a printer and have installed all the drivers and software, configured the wireless conenction, yet for no reason all three lights flash and the PC thinks the printer is disconnected (even when using usb connection!) I have to restart the printer to get a print out and sometime all three flash half way through printing.
    I know the middle wireless light flashes when the wireless is not available but I dont know why all 3 flash!
    Any help greatly appreciated

    You may have a faulty printer.  Contact HP for a warranty repair or replacement.
