Deskjet 6988 offline, cant get any

So my deskjet 6988 used to work fine but it has not been used for a long time. Finally set it back up and it will not connect. I tried re adding the printer by creating a new port but when I put in the host name or the IP address it says additional information required. I changed my firewall setting to private but that didnt help. When I did the NDU it could not find the printer. I already have a few copies of the printer under control panel - printers from before when it was working, but they all say offline now.
Help please..thanks!
Also, I no longer have the installation cd's or the manual or anything. And we recently got a new router. Wondering if that could be the problem?
My computer is windows vista 2006
router is linksys

Run the Network Diagnostic Utility (NDU) again. Is the printer on the network?
If so, then we should set a static IP address for the printer as I suspect that the wireless-router is changing the address being leased to the 6988. To do this, browse to the printer's IP address from the printer's web page:
1) select the Networking tab
2) select Wireless (802.11)
3) select IPv4 Configuration tab
4) select Manual IP.
4a) for the Manual IP Address, enter the current printer's IP address plus or minus an offset of 20. For example, if your printer's IP address is 192.162.x.100 or lower, then enter 192.168.x.120. If your printer's IP address is 192.168.x.200 or higher, then enter 192.168.x.180.
4b) for the Manual Subnet, enter 255.255.255.0
4c) for the Manual Default Gateway, leave this blank
5) Press Apply.
Now reinstall the SW one more time (this should be the last time).

Your only option at this point is to connect the device to a computer running iTunes so you can restore it.

Can anyone help or advise me what I can do to fix this problem, Thanx

Hi!
To be honest I dont know what you mean.
What software do you try to download and where do you download them? What OS do you have?
Can you post a screenshot or something else?
I dont know what internet browser do you use but I use always Firefox and never had problems with this browser.

Possibly, but jailbroken devices aren't supported by Apple or these forums.

Hi Guys,
My iPhone is stuck in a mode where it thinks the headset is still plugged in.
I cant get any sounds through the speaker. Cant hear sms or emails arrive. If the phone rings i hear it but pple cant hear me or i cant hear them.
The phone works fine with the headphones plugged in.
I have tried all the usual solutions, inserted and removed the headset (at least 50 times)
Soft reboot
full restore
Nothing seems to work. I have searched on this and it seems to be a well know issue but there doesnt seem to be any firm solutions that i can find to fix the problem

If no change after inserting and removing the headset at least 50 times, powering the iPhone off and on, an iPhone reset, and restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

I cant get any pop ups to open? i have allowed sites and still cant get anything, so turned off and still cant enlarge pictures etc thru a pop window

i have firefox version 3.6.10, and until about a week ago, i had no problems clicking on pictures (example: on ebay) to enlarge them in a new pop window. i have tried disabling the pop up blocker completely, even though i had ebay as an "allow" site on my pop up blocker when it was enabled.
cant get any pop up to go through. in the lower left hand corner of the window, when i click on a link that should open a pop up window, all it shows is "javascript:;" and nothing happens
i have updated to the newest version of java and deleted older version.. still having issues

Ouch, tough spot, but offhand I'd say some memory may have gone bad, or maybe just needs re-seating after all this time.
Not much you can do, but try this anyway...
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.

I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install!

Hi
I migrated a user from another mac and cant get any updates to install, for example it says iPhoto is intalled but its not, i never copied it from the older imac, and i cant download it to this one now
any help appreciated

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

I just bought a new 2TB time capsule and I am so frustrated that I cant get any help!!!!!

Yesterday, I bought a new (4th gen) 2TB TC to replace by mid 2007 500gb TC. I did this simple to upgrade the wirelass capability to the very latest as the wifi in our home is intermittent. I also bought a Zepplin recently so that i could use Airplay to stream music but the wifi is also intermittent, it works when it wants to and not usually when when i want it too!! Hence the purchase of a new TC for £249.
The instructions on the Apple site and in the instruction book all say it is so easy to set up the TC and the wireless network.
So here I am , 24 hours later and frustrated at having spent hours and hours and gotten no-where. Ive logged calls with Apple Support and even though I am sat by the phone they keep emailing me saying they've tried to reach me and if I still need help then to rearrange a call!! But I'm here!!!
Here's my problem (apart from the desire to take the TC back and get a refund)...
- when I open Airport Utility (6.2), I get a picture that shows the world and the word Internet with a line to the time capsule but all the instructions that I have found and read say that I should get a dialogue box that lists the devices on the left hand side. The instructions with the TC say I open AU and follow the instructions and prompts - what instructions and prompts, there arnt any!!!
- also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC
- there is no option to extend the wireless network
- every now and then the TC light goes Yellow and airport utility "looses" the TC
- TC seems to want to back up the entire MAC (c350gb) but it is doing so at a very slow speed and only did about 2.5gb over night. I dont mind a whole new backup to the new TC but it cant be right that it will take 19 days (the last time I looked!)
My main frustration is that the so-called simple instructions dont seem to replate at all to my system and I'm frustrated because I dont know where to go to get any help....and if Apple email me one more time to say they cant reach me then I will definately take the TC back!!
Can anyone help me?
p.s. sorry for the rant, i though this would be a half hour job to upgrade my wirelass and is turning into a nightmare!

Unfrotunately, this sounds like a dead TC.
- also, the picture does NOT pick up the 2 airport expressess in the house that I used to extend the wirelass network on the previous TC

You need to reconfigure the Expresses to rejoin the TC's network via a factory reset.
