ENVY 4500 CONNECTS TO WIFI, BUT WON'T PRINT

I AM USING A MAC LAPTOP RUNNING OSX 10.7.4.  I ORIGINALLY INSTALLED THIS WIRELESS PRINTER USING THE WIZARD AND I HAD NO PROBLEMS PRINTING UNTIL I CHANGED MY ROUTER.  NOW, EVEN THOUGH I PRINTED OUT THE WIRELESS NETWORK TEST RESULTS PAGE WHICH SHOWS THAT THE PRINTER WAS SUCCESSFULY SETUP, IT WILL NO LONGER PRINT.  I HAVE NEVER USED A UBS CABLE TO CONNECT TO MY LAPTOP.  I'VE READ NUMEROUS COMMENTS IN THE FORUM AND TRIED THEIR SUGGESTIONS, BUT I CANNOT GET IT TO PRINT EXCEPT WHEN I CREATE A DOCUMENT AND E-MAIL IT TO THE PRINTER WHICH IS CUMBERSOME TO SAY THE LEAST.  WHEN I TRY TO PRINT THE NORMAL WAY,  I GET A MESSAGE THAT "THE PRINTER IS NOT CONNECTED".  BUT IT IS CONNECTED AND THE WIFI  ICON LIGHT ON THE PRINTER IS A STEADY BLUE LIGHT INDICATING IT'S ON THE NETWORK.  I SIMPLY CANNOT FIGURE IT OUT AFTER HOURS OF TROUBLESHOOTING.  PLEASE HELP! 

Hi, try resetting the WiFi settings on the 4500.
On the printer control panel, press the Wireless button ( ). The Wireless menu displays.
Press the button ( ) next to Settings .
Press the Down Arrow ( ) to select Restore Defaults , and then press OK .
Press OK again to confirm your selection.
Press the Wireless button ( ), and then press the button ( ) next to Settings .
Press the Down Arrow ( ) to select Wireless Setup Wizard , and then press OK . The printer searches for available wireless networks.
Press the Down Arrow ( ) to select the name of your wireless network, and then press OK .
Follow the instructions on the control panel to connect the printer to your wireless network.

  • My ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but won't run anything that uses it like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    Can anyone help me? my  ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but it won't run anything that uses wifi like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

    You didn't indicate if it ever worked.  If it NEVER did, the problem could be caused by a firewall in the router.  For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
    You will need administrative access to the router.  If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again.  If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again.  Repeat as required.

  • IPhone connects to WiFi but won't work.

    Ever since I got my iPhone 4, it connects to the WiFi but it won't do things using WiFi so I usually end up using 3G. But this only happens at my house. I works perfectly on the bus and at school. Same thing happens to my sister's iPhone 4 and recently we had guests over and I connected one of them to the WiFi and she had the same problem (iPhone 4) My dad has an iPhone 5 and I'm pretty sure it works perfectly for him. Please help. I've tried everything. Forgetting the network, resetting my phone, restoring my phone. Any suggestions please?

    Seems to be a problem with your WiFi router.
    If your iPhone can not access the internet using WiFi, due to low signal strength, low internet speed, router overload, or perhaps a wrong router setting (child safety lock, firewall?), it automatically accesses the internet using 3G.
    You just have to find the error...
    Good luck ;-)

  • Ipad tries to connect to wifi but won't .....

    My husband was watching Netflix on our ipad and it suddenly a message came up "you have no internet connection". We have a router in our home (but no wireless plan) so we can only use our iapd where the is wifi. We tried resetting the router but husbands laptop works fine with wifi. When the ipad tries to connect and I watch the screen and it either will not recognize the router password or next to the WiFi will say "TRENDnet"(our router), then "Not Connected", "TRENDnet", "Not Connected", like it tries to connect and does for a second and then doesn't.  I suspect it is not the router because husband's laptop works fine.  Any help appreciated. Ipad is a version 1, regifted from Mom when she bought her new Mini. Thank You!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • IMac connects to wifi, but won't open all websites

    I can get email, but only loads certain websites.  Facebook and Google work, but not Amazon (and many more).  I get an error message in Safari "Safari can't open the page because the server stopped responding".  The iMac connected perfectly before, the only thing that has changed is that we were having people use our wifi (of which data is limited since we live in a rural area).  So, we added the security feature "Wireless Mac Authentication" to our router.  We have added the addresses of all of our devices and they all are working fine except for the iMac.  I have tried changing the DNS to the same that is on my Macbook pro, but it doesn't help.  Also, had a WEP for the router, but changed it to a WPA because I thought maybe that was the problem, but it did not help either.  Thanks for any help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Officejet 4500G510g -light use; status consistent​ly "idle", connection​s okay, but won't print

    checked all connections, but keep getting "idle"status. Nothing allows it to print. Only 5 weeks old, light use. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

    Hey @ziyoo,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with resolving the issue that you're experiencing when trying to wirelessly print from your Windows 8.1 computer to your HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer. Thank you for including all of the troubleshooting steps you have attempted prior to reaching out for support. At this time I do not think the wireless printing issue that you're experiencing is being caused by your printer or your network connection. Rather, I believe the wireless printing issue is being caused by your Operating System.
    Recently Microsoft has released a Hot Fix to correct network printing issues within their Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 Operating Systems. These wireless printing issues consist of 'partial printing' and 'offline' issues. The issues appear to affect multiple makes and models of wireless printers. Can I please have you click here to download the Hot Fix. Once the website opens please click the button for Hotfix Download Available. Please follow the onscreen prompts to install the Fix. Once the Fix has been installed please test printing again.  If printing still fails you may need to restart your computer to allow the Hot Fix to take affect. Once your computer comes back on please test printing again.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Printer is Connected to Wireless but Won't Print

    I've tried restarting (both the iMac computer running Maverick 10.9.4 and the Photosmart Premium 310 printer) Tried deleting and reinstalling the printer. It passes all the diagnostics. It prints things from the web apps on the keypad. It was working fine last night and now will print nothing from the computer. I cannot figure out what to do next.

    Hi AngieOli,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue when attempting to print from your Mac.
    First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    I am also going to give you two documents.  The first one gives instructions on How to reset the printing system.
    The second document is for how to Repair disk permissions.
    Please let me know how you make out and if you have any othe questions, please feel free to write back at any time.
