Help setting up router for wireless printer

I recently purchased a wireless printer - but haven't been able to connect to the router. Router is a Linksys wireless G 2.4ghz w/ SecureEasySetup (SES). When I activate the SES button on the router - it will connect with the printer - but the router then re sets itself, my SSID changes to the Linksys default and I loose internet connection.
How can I use SES without the router resetting?

I assume that your wireless printer does not have SES.
When you use SES, the router resets the wireless settings. SES is designed to be used when both devices (router and wireless adapter) both have the SES feature. If only one device has the SES feature, then you cannot use the SES button, and the non-SES device must be setup manually.
Login to your router at 192.168.1.1, and write down the following settings on a piece of paper:
SSID
encryption type (probably WPA)
encryption key (sometimes called Password or Passphrase)
Next, follow the installation procedure for your wireless printer. At some point in the install procedure, it will ask you for the above info.
If you need more help, please state the model and version of your router. Also, please state the make and model of your printer.

Can not connect All in one 209b to new router for wireless printing....

Have an HP laptop and All in one priner 209b. All was working fine, wired and wireless printing. Then we had to upgrade our ATT Uverse router. Everything works...even wireless laptop and printer when connected to laptop. However, can't get printer to printer wireless since it has the old router info. I used the disk but when it asks to you to pick the printer, I choose the printer but it says printer now found ??? what ???? and this is with the cable connected. I do not have the wizard on the touch screen but I did reset to factory settings hoping it would load new router info but it does not. How do you manually enter router into for wireless printing. Is it best to delete the printer and reinstall as new...wired and then wireless ???
I am about to call an outsite company and pay the outrageous charge as the help on HP is not working. Thanks

HI:
I am trying to print on a pc server. I go to print in the preferences, add a new printer, choose windows, then log in with my given username and password. Everything to this point works fine and the printer is fpound, recognized, and ready to print. But when I try to print to it, it just says on hold (authentication required).
Any advice or suggestions?

Help setting up a Laserjet P1102w for wireless printing on a Mac

I'm trying to setup a Laserjet P1102w on my Mac for wireless printing, but it's not working. It will print fine using USB, but all the documentation for wireless setup is for Windows, not Mac. if I connect the printer via USB to my Mac, how will it get an IP address from my wireless network? Any help appreciated.

Hi Staxofjoy,
Based on the information you provided, and comparing to another post regarding this issue (link below) - It sounds like you are running 10.7 (Lion).
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Laserjet-P1102w-driver-for-Macbook-OS-X-Li...
Please go to the linked thread above, and look for the post by mikel1004 - he outlined the steps for connecting Adhoc to the printer very clearly.
Summary of what you will need to to:
1. Reset Printer to Defaults
2. Connect to printer via Adhoc from your Mac (This will disconnect you from your home wireless network)
3. Access HTML Config, and configure the printer's wireless settings manually from there.
4. Reconnect the Mac to the Home Network
5. Add the printer to the print queue.
Hope this helps

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?

How do I set up my HP psc2175xi all in one printer for wireless printing or network printing?
I am changing the set up of my home computer to add another computer.
I would like to go wireless from my computers to the hub and wired from the hub to my
printer. I do not think this printer can do that since it does not have the ports to connect to a router hub, I think.
I am rather new to this way of setting up, so any help would be nice.

You could get a wireless router that supports USB printers, but these only support printing, not scanning. You could just go buy a new wireless printer since your printer is pretty old, anyway.

Hi patede,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you would like to learn how to set up your Deskjet 2540 printer to be able to print wirelessly from your Android mobile device when you don’t have a router.
I have included the document titled Printing from an Apple or Android Mobile Device with HP Wireless Direct. The document will walk you through setting up the printer and how to print from your Android mobile device. Please note that when you are connected to the printer’s network you will not have access to the internet.

Network Magic Pro 5.5 keeps dropping my router and wireless printer ...

...multiple times per day.
WIN 7 Pro 64-bit, SP1
Network Magic 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
Motorola Surfboard model SB6120 Cable modem
Windows Firewall configured by Norton Security Suite 6.2.1.5
Linksys WRT54G2 router ver.1
My problem is as stated in the header. My router needs to have the power cycled multiple times a day because it is dropping my internet access. This problem did not occur until I purchased in installed Network Magic. Also, the wireless printer needs to have the cycle powered almost as often. I've had both the router and wireless printer for more than 2 years and never experienced this problem before installing Network Magic
I manually changed my MTU setting to 1472 from Automatic. This has not helped.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

From what I know, the network magic software won't affect your internet connection since it is just a software to use to manage your network. You may want to isolate the problem first. You can try uninstalling the network magic software from your computers and try to observe your connection again.

HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer "Ready" for wireless printing, but gives "error -- printing" message

This P1102w printer was configured for wireless printing from two computers (WinXP and Win7), both with a network sharing designation, and all functions worked perfectly:
Printing from the WinXP computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
Printing from the Win7 computer directly, and from a networked Win2K computer as a guest.
Windows Printer Test Pages were printed from both installed computers, showing correct computer names, the printer name, Port names (IP addresses), Data format (IMF), Driver information, etc.
Several days later (after new boots), the WinXP computer showed printer status as being "Ready", along with the correct printer "Type" (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w), "Where" (IP address), and "Comment" (network printing). When a print job was submitted from Microsoft Word, the control-panel printer window first showed the message "printing", and then the message "error -- printing". Nothing was printed. The same results occurred when a print job was sent to the WinXP computer from the networked Win2K computer. HP’s troubleshooting routine did not identify the error, its cause, or what can be done about it.
Successful printing continued, as before, from the Win7 computer directly, and from the networked Win2K computer to the Win7 computer as a guest.
The printer’s blue “i” network indicator lamp is lit, and all three computers continue to communicate through the hub to each other and to the Internet.
HP’s printer installation program was executed on the WinXP computer, using the “fix” option, but nothing changed. The installation program was executed again on the WinXP computer, using the “new install” option (without removing the existing P1102w installation); the “browse” function saw the network, but no printers were found, and the installation could not be completed.
This is very perplexing. Any suggestions?
PS: The same problem occurred once before, and it was fixed by resetting factory defaults on the printer, hard wiring the printer to the WinXP computer through a USB cable, re-installing the printer’s wireless settings from HP’s installation disk, and repeating all of the networking and sharing setups on all three computers. This is a lot of work that is not worth repeating, because the successful results have not been permanent.

To: Neonskeleton,
Thanks for your response -- especially because you are an HP employee!
My Win2k machine does not use HP software, nor communicate to the HP printer. (HP did not write a Win2k driver for the P1102w -- and evidently no one else has done this, either.) My WinXP and Win7 machines use their HP drivers to send print jobs to the P1102w wirelessly, and both machines have the P1102w set up as a shared printer. Then, when I connect to those machines as a "guest" and submit a print job to those machines, those machines receive the print job and then communicate with the printer using the proper installed printer drivers.
Everything worked great with this configuration, until suddenly the printer was no longer responsive to ANY jobs coming from the WinXP machine, even though there was a "printer ready" indication on the WinXP machine, and even though the printer responded perfectly to print jobs coming from the Win7 machine.
When I tried to "fix" the WinXP setup by running HP's setup program on CD, nothing changed. Then, when I tried to reinstall the WinXP setup for wireless printing, the program insisted that I reset THE PRINTER'S factory defaults and proceed using a USB cable -- even though I wanted to simply ADD the computer for wireless communication to an existing networked printer! I would conclude that something screwed up the printer's inner settings (maybe an unsolicited and invisible HP update sent to my printer from the Internet?).
As I mentioned in my original post, I went through this process once before, reinstalled everything on all machines, and all was well. Until THE SAME non-recognition problem surfaced again!
I do not want to spend any more time on this. I went to Staples and bought a second P1102w printer (it is a nice little machine that uses a xerographic cartridge, rather than costly inkjet cartridges that frequently plug up). I'll use a USB cable for the connection, rather than the installed wireless feature, and set up the P1102w as a shared printer. I expect that all of my other computers will be able to link as a "guest" through the wireless hub and be able to print.
Thanks again.

I have a hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer how can i setup for wireless printing my os is windows7.

how do i setup my hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer for wireless printing my operating system is windows7

Unplug the USB cable. Now go to Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > Deskjet 3050 > Add a Device. Run the program and choose Wireless as the installation type.
Follow the directions. It will ask you to connect a USB cable temporarily. Do not connect until it asks and remove it when it tells you.
Finally, when you are done, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the USB instance of the printer so you don't get confused when printing.

Need help setting up file for program Ai CS5 Mac

Hello everyone, I am hoping you can help me with something. I am having a 20 page conference program printed through a 3rd party company.The printer sent me back the proof today and on almost every page my artwork is being chopped off.
This is the email sent with the proof today:
" I want you to look at these spreads and tell me if this is how you visualized your finished pages? A lot of your art is being cut off. The finished size is 11x17. You sent pages that were 9x12, so I used them at 100% on the 12x18 press sheet. You only need to provide a 1/8" bleed, not a 1/2". You also have bleeds on the centers of the spreads. Those should not have a bleed. Only the outside 3 edges should bleed.
I had trouble getting all of the art to line up."
Printer Info:
They print on 12/18 trimmed down to 11 x 17 (for full bleed)
Requested bleed: 1/8
They print out of Quark
I was told I can send them individual PDFs and they will paginate them (in order and add page numbers)
I created a file in Ai CS5 with 20 artboards (one for each page of the program) Now, the trim marks should be placed at 1 inch because they are trimming 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the bottom. The bleed should be 1/8 so 0.125 on the 3 "outside" edges. Is this correct?
I primarily do lay-outs, the person responsible for this project bailed last minute so I am a bit stuck. If I am designing it as individual pages what are the exactly dimensions, bleed, and trim marks needed for each page to be set up correctly for the printer to paginate. Should I also add a .5 margin along the edges as a safe zone or is that not necessary because of the bleed?
Let me know if I didn't provide enough information. I appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!

It is often just simpler to build your pages (or spreads) to the actual size of the press sheet.
I'll assume this is a saddle-stitched booklet.
The press sheets will be 12 x 18 inches.
It will be printed, then, as 11 x 17 printer spreads.
That means it will have a half inch (not a whole inch) between the trims and the press sheet edges on all four sides.
There will be three-eights inch between the bleed and the edges.
(This is crowding things a tad; typically one tries to allow at least a half-inch gripper margin.)
Anyway....
1. Setup the document with twenty 9x12 vertical Artboards, with zero spacing, in two columns. Zero Bleed.
(Often, depending on the nature of the content, I would choose to build such a thing as ten 12 x 18 Artboards, with content already arranged as printing spreads, thus eliminating the need for stripping. But in the following, you'll go ahead and make 20 separate Artboards, abutted in pairs, and treat these as two-page reader spreads, to make layout easy, and to accommodate artwork that may jump the gutter.)
2. Turn on Show Grid. Turn on Snap To Grid.
Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17 x 11 rectangle. This corresponds to your trim.
Rectangle Tool: Click the page. In the dialog, specify a 17.25 x 11.25 rectangle. This corresponds to your bleed.
Center align the two rectangles to each other, both horizontally and vertically.
3. Zoom in. White Pointer: Snap the upper left corner of the rectangles to the grid at .375 H and .375 V of the top left Artboard.
4. Convert the two rectangles to Guides. (View>Guides>Make)
5. Line Tool: Snapping to the grid, draw your own trim marks at each corner, outboard of the trim. Use .25 pt. stroke weight. Registration color.
6. Unlock Guides. (turn off View>Guides>Lock)
7. Black Pointer: Marquee select around all the trim marks and the two rectangluar Guides.
DoubleClick the Black Pointer. In the resulting Move dialog, enter a vertical movement of 12" and click copy.
Transform Again (Ctrl D) 8 times.
Now you have a set of trim guides, bleed guides, and trim marks on all 10 two-page reader spreads.
8. Create the content as if the pairs of Artboards are facing pages of reader spreads. The top pair are the front and back. The other pairs are sequentially-numbered reading speads. Set up this way, your artwork can jump the gutter when desired. You can put other printer's marks (sep names, etc.) in the bleed area if needed.
9. Save A Copy to PDF with Use Artboards checked. The resulting PDF will contain 9x12 vertical pages. Viewed as spreads in Acrobat, you can see that the pages align.
10. But when they are printed, they will be stripped into two-page printing spreads, ordered like so:

Using a Airport Express Base Station for wireless printing.

Using a Airport Express Base Station for wireless printing. Got a new DSL router yesterday. Our old one we did not have password protected. The new one is. I can't figure out how to get the base station to connect with the new router.

thanks for the reply, I couldn't connect with the base station. The solution (thank you apple genius bar) was to do a soft rest of the unit which allowed and ethernet connectiont to be established. Took the genius bar gy about ten min (and 2 attempts) to get the base station reconfigured. Got home and it worked like a charm. Would have never known what he knew. Thank you genius bar. Thank you for taking time to respond.

Can I use an old UFO Extreme for wireless printing?

Greetings, I have a new airport extreme base station managing my wireless network, but I am still printing wirelessly from a Macbook Pro by sharing a printer with wired a G4 desktop. (my 'main' BS is in the basement, G4 and printer on the 3rd floor, connected to the BS via ethernet). I have an older UFO style base station gathering dust that I'd like to use for wireless printing by having it sit next to the printer and connect to it via usb, join my existing network wirelessly, and, well that's it. Essentially I want it to be an airport express, so I can print wirelessly without the G4. Is this an easy/possible setup? What settings will I have to change on my 'main' airport BS as well as the UFO? Any guidance you can give me I'd very much appreciate. Many thanks in advance, and sorry for what I suspect is a dumb question.

Badlyva, Welcome to the discussion area!
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can not join a wireless network like the AirPort Express (AX) can. But you could configure your new AEBS to act as a WDS main base station and the old AEBS to act as a WDS remote base station. The bad part is that you would need to use 802.11g and the WDS link would cut your available wireless bandwidth in half of that.
