Entering a "$" in the SSID password when setting up an HP Photosmart 2710 all-in-one printer

Hello,
I have a Photosmart 2710 all-in-one printer, and I am trying to set it up wirelessly. However, my SSID as a "$" in the password, and I can't find any way to enter this symbol in the wireless setup on the printer.  Also, when I try to run the HP Printer setup wizard I downloaded from the HP support site, it says this printer is not supported by the wizard?
Can anyone help? 
Thanks,
jmmain1

You must change your wireless password in the router to not  conntain any special characters.  Once done, go back and input the password in the printer.

    I have an HP Photosmart 5520 all in one printer and a MacBook Pro. Bought the MacBook Pro in Jan 2013 and the printer in Dec 2012. I was able to print to the wireless printer up until June 2013. In September, when I tried to use them together, I could not print. During the period between June and Sept., my laptop software was updated. I have tried to update the HP software on my laptop, but could not. What can I do to use this printer with my MacBook Pro? Please help!

    The MacBook Pro is running at least 10.7.

  • HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are a problem

    HP Photosmart 2610 All in One Printer   Paper feeds OK but the software and sensors are not allowing paper to feed until several steps are taken first.
    (I am using Windows 7.  I also use the virtual XP mode and mostly MS Office 2003 docs). 
    I have had this printer for several years and love it.  Before I toss it out, I thought I would check if I could get it to work properly before I buy another printer.  Note: I did put in a new HP black cartridge (because it was out of ink) but the printer was not working properly for several days before I changed the cartridge. The printer was at step 5 before ink change.
    Lately, each time I turn on my printer, I have to go through the same routine
    1. The printer wants to align the cartridges so I push OK
    2. The paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing.
    3. Error message appears that it is out of paper.  So I press OK to continue.
    4. It says "aligning print cartridges" runs through 2 sheets of blank paper without trying to do anything and then states "cartridge alignment failed"  "Press OK to continue"
    5. Screen is now normal and it appears it is going to work.
    6. It makes no difference if I used the copy function OR when I send a print job from the computer, the paper feeds into the printer and stops at the exact place to start printing but nothing happens.
    7. Error message appears that it is out of paper. OR that it is the wrong size paper.  I pull the paper that was at the proper place to be printed from the printer and then the error message says "Paper jam.  Press OK to continue"
    8.  I press OK.  The printer will then quickly feed in and eject 2 sheets of paper before it will actually start printing the print job.  It will work fine after this as long as I print from the same document.
    9. If I want to print a different document then I have to start all over again at step 6 to get the printer to work.  If I shut the printer off I have to go back to step 1.
    What I have already tried
    A.  Uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver direct from HP web site.  I have done this several times with both the basic driver download and the complete package download.
    B.  I have done a partial reset by unplugging the printer, and then re-plugging the printer while pushing the  "# and 3" buttons while turning on the printer.  I have done this several times.  Each time it will work fine until I try a different document of turn off the printer.
    C. I have downloaded the HP Print and Scan Doctor and used it several times.  It states that "everything checks out OK"
    D. I have downloaded the HP Hardware Diagnostic Utility 4.0 but it does not work with my printer.
    E.  I have cleaned all the rollers and blown air throughout to make sure there were no bits of junk in the paper's path or blocking a sensor.
    F.  I have tried different brands and weights of paper (all 8½  x 11) but nothing works.
    Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the virtual machine so I could print XP files.  This may just be a coincidence because the printer has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer being on.
    Thanks for looking at my issues.  Any help would certainly be appreciated.

    I just tried using Notepad as you suggested and had the same result.  Paper feeds in stops at proper place and error message "out of paper" 
    I just put in two new HP ink cartridges because the other two were low and I was told that this might be the problem. 
    I seem to remember that the HP 2610 shows 2 "ink icons" in the lower left corner.  One for black and one for color.  The ink icons would change from completly full to just an outline as the amount of ink went down.  Currently the black ink icon is missing
    This is a very frustrating problem because the printer works great after doing a few steps to get around the problem.  The fact that the problem reoccurs any time anything is changed is the major problem
    Most of the problems started when I added the printer to the Windows 7 virtual machine so I could work with Windows XP programs.  This may just be a coincidence because the printer still has the same problems when I use the copy function without the computer even being on.
    I want to thank you for all of your efforts.  Perhaps this is a unique problem that will never be solved and it is best to take my losses and buy a new printer.  As a last chance, if possible, could you refer my post to someone who is an expert with the HP 2610 printer.

  • Will the 2710 all-in-one printer be supported by windows 7? works on xp, will it on windows7?

    Is the 2710 all-in-one printer supported/compatible to Windows 7? It was on a XP, however hard drive is crashing and need to see if I may need to buy another all in one printer or able to keep my 2710.

    HP recommends that you use genuine HP cartridges. HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP cartridges, or refilled HP cartridges.
    Well that being said about the cartridge, I would try a power reset like this:
    With the power on, open the ink access door. Remove the power from the printer. Remove the ink cartridge and close the cover. Wait at least 30 seconds then reconnect the power cord to the printer. Turn the printer on. Open the access door and insert the cartridge. That may clear up the issue, if not well.......

    After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work.  I know it is connected as it shows up,  The message is:
    "The printer software was installed incorrectly.  Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
    I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed.  I unistalled the printer and reistalled.  Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc.  I never had to use the CD that came with the printer.  My printer is:  HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected.  Can someone please help me to get this working,

    You may have to do this several times.
    Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • HT1338 How do I get the Lion update for the HP Photosmart 3210 All in One Printer?  The auto software update says none are available, while HP says one is available.

    I just installed LION and no Power PC Apps work. 
    HP says there are updates for Lion from MAC APP store for the HP 3210 PhotoSmart All in Printer and provided instructions.
    I followed these but no updates were visible or installed.  Any idea why?
    Is there a place where I can look at Apple for an update? 
    If no update is available, can anyone recommend a good flatbed scanner for under $400 that works with Lion?

    Hi,
    The drivers do available from Apple and your Mac may fails from getting them due to any connectivity or installed software issue.
    First make sure you don't have any previous OS drivers installed:
    Open Finder, then click Go > Computer and select the active volume of your OS.
    (If have couple and not sure which one is correct, click the Apple icon > About This Mac.)
    Open Library\Printers and move the HP folder to the trash.
    Enter into PPDs\Contents\Resources, search for 3200 in that folder and move the results files.
    Reboot your Mac, ensure the printer is turned on, in Ready state and directly connected to your Mac.
    Enter Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and you shoud see your printer listed.. select it and click Install.
    If no printers appears at all there is a connectivity issue.. ensure it is directly connected and not through any USB hub or adaptor, the cable is not longer than 2m length.. otherwise try a new USB cable.
    If the printer appears but stil cannot locate drivers for yoru printer download and install the package below and then try adding the printer again:

  • I have a C309g Photosmart Premium All-in-One printer that the paper transport mechanism rumbles

    My computer operating system is Windows XP
    An error message "Remove Paper Jam" occurs when I am trying to print even when there is no paper in the printer. It also rumbles as it scans a document to the computer but it takes almost 3 times longer than normal to scan. I have checked the printer and duplexer for a paper and they are clean.
    Nothing was changed to the computer, printer or operating system.
    It sounds to me like the gear bearings need lubricating.

  • Replacement Model for the discontinued HP Photosmart C4783 All-in-One Printer

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell if there is a very similar replacement model for the C4783? I need the same forn factor.

    I am not sure you can find replacement models for this printer but I will do my best to find out. The entire product line for Photosmart C4600 and C4700 are the last models to use that same printer shape and size.  I checked for compatible printers that used that kind of ink and none even looked like the same kind of printer.  The next generation was the Photosmart D110 which would have been the possible upgraded version of this printer but it is hard to say if it is going to have the same "forn factor."
    Are you referring to the form factor as the chassis or as an electrical component?  I found your exact model of printer at the HP Parts Store listed as a replacement model (product #: Q8380B) suggesting to contact one of these available resellers.  I hope this answers your questions.  If not, define forn factor and hopefully I can help you more.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
