Hi, I am trying to print to an HP4050n via a secure wireless network.  It prints but the default page setting sent to the printer is JIS B5.  I have to hit the "Go" to get the printer to print.  I have the correct setting in my Printer Settings (Letter).

I am attempting to print via a wireless (secure) network to an HP4050n printer.  The document prints AFTER I choose "GO" on the printer.  It is waiting as it wants me to load the JIS B5 paper/tray.  I have the printer defined as Letter but in spite of that, it is requesting a different setting.  I am thinking that because I am using the Generic PCL setting (I also tried the HP 4/5 PCL ) it is not communicating correctly.  It does print once I get up and hit the GO button.
Any ideas?  Thanks.

The paper size would normally be coming from the application rather than some setting in the driver. I've never seen the Generic PCL driver send a request for B5, but then I do use A4 rather than Letter and I don't have a PCL printer at home to check this. But I do think it has more to do with the application/document being printed.
For the application that you are using, is there are a separate Page Setup menu?
If the page and document is correctly set to Letter, you mention a wireless secure. If you mean something more than a wireless network that requires a password to access it, such as using https to connect to a remote server, then it could be settings for the shared printer queue. Although these shared printers are usually just an access point (throughport) for the remote client. Still, if you do have some additional network server for this secure wireless network, then this could be contributing to the incorrect paper size call.

  • Trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network.  It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect.  Any suggestions?  We have an Airport Extreme.

    I am trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network.  It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect.  Their tech support said the problem is with the router and we may need to open ports 80, 443 and 4348.  We have an AirPort Extreme and I scanned for open ports and found 80 already open but the others are not.  Tried using Port Mapping, putting the port number 443 in both the Public UDP and TCP fields and the Private UDP and TCP fields also.  The Private IP address defaulted to 10.0.1.201 which is right outside of the DHCP range.  Will this be the IP of the bike or should I change it to something else?  Are the values I put in the fields totally wrong?  Bike is still not connecting.  Thanks for any help!

  • Does connecting a TC wirelessly via "join a wireless network" disable the Ethernet ports?

    I've been trying to connect my TC wireless to a D-Link router/cable modem provided by Virgin Media. I have successfully enabled the TC to join my wireless network, and can successfully print from my USB printer, and back up my laptop using Time Machine.
    However, when I connected my network laser printer to an Ethernet port on the TC, I could not print to it, or even see it on the network. (Naturally, it worked fine connected to the D-Link, or I would not be posting...)
    To test my theory, we connected the TC to the D-Link by wire instead. Voila, we can print to the network printer even while it's connected to the TC.
    So, can anyone confirm that connecting a TC wirelessly via "join a wireless network" disables the Ethernet ports?
    If so, can anyone explain why a £300+ device would do something so daft?
    Cheers,
    Aegrem

    So, can anyone confirm that connecting a TC wirelessly via "join a wireless network" disables the Ethernet ports?
    When the TC is configured to "join a wireless network", it becomes a wireless client of the network and does not perform any routing functions, so the etherent ports are not enabled in this type of configuration.
    IF...you were using an Apple"n" router as your main base station or router, you could configure the TC to "extend a wireless network", providing more wireless coverage and also enablling the ethernet ports. But, the "extend" feature will only work among Apple devices. Or more correctly, we're not aware of any other devices from any other manufacturers that are compatible with this feature.

  • My iMac is able to use my wireless internet from my airport extreme, however, no other devices(iphone, ipod) will connect. The network shows up, but the indicator just spins without ever joining.

    I have tried resetting my airport extreme, creating a new network, etc nothing seems to work.

    I have a feeling you may be stuck in bridge mode there...
    Factory reset the Extreme (so we don't second guess later), and re-set up the extreme using iOS5 on your iPhone.
    Set up your Wi-Fi network with your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac.

  • My labtop is conncted wirelessly through my router but the internet wont open

    My labtop is conncted wirelessly through my router but the internet wont open iv been trouble shooting it and it tells me something about th primary dns or something yet i have another computer which i connected to the same network and it has no problems and goes to the internet fine

    First of all when you computer shows you that you are connected to your Wireless Network, first thing which you need to check, whats the IP address you are getting it on  your Computer. Click on Start - Run - CMD and click Ok and in the Command Prompt type "ipconfig" and hit enter and check the IP address. It should be in your Router Range i.e (192.168.1.xxx) if not might be your computer is having static Ip, thats the reason you are not able to go online. So you need to remove the Static IP from your computer.
    Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the properties button- If its set to 'Use the following IP address' then you need to change it to "Obtain and IP address Automaticaly" and click Ok and Close. 
    Now check if you are Online.

    Connecting my Sony BD player to my MacBook Pro wireless network.  It sees the network but it then asks for a WPA security key.  Where do I find this key?

    Hi Michael,
    It sounds like your router's authentication is set to WPA and thus where the key is established. Does your MacBook Pro connect to a wireless router? If so, that's where you'd need to get the key from via a web-based control panel for the router or if it's an AEBS via AirPort Utility.

  • Windows 8.1 Enterprise - Hyper-v, Legacy Network Adapter works, but the Network Adapter does not

    Folks,
    I currently have 2 Virtual Switches: one I set up for WIFI, and the other I set up for
    LAN.
    Both switches are set up as:
    - EXTERNAL
    - Allow management operating system to share this network adapter
    Both switches I can use with my Legacy Network Adapter.
    But the Network Adapter doesn't doesn't work for either.
    It did however work at one time, but I think a Windows Update killed it.
    Thoughts?  Suggestions?
    And as always, thank you for reading :)

  • Can I use the Airport Express to create a secure wireless network in a wireless-only hotel?

    Can I use the Airport Express to log onto an unsecured hotel wireless network, without an ethernet cable, to create a secure wireless network for my MacbookAir, IPad, IPhone, etc.? If so, how is that done?

    will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
    The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
    The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
    As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
    In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
    However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private"  wireless network.

  • Cannot create wireless network. I use the 2wire modem of att verse...

    I cannot creat a wireless network connecting the time capsule to the 2wire att uverse modem....

    Need a bit more info..
    You cannot create a wireless network that joins another.
    And you cannot extend a non-apple wireless network.
    If you want to join the TC to the existing wireless network.. old down the options key when you click on options for wireless mode.. now if you are on lion you need 5.6 utility.
    Once the TC joins the network it becomes a simple wireless client with everything basically off.
    A much better option is to plug the TC into the 2wire with ethernet.. and bridge the TC.. it is then accessible from the 2wire wireless network or you can create a second wireless network or a reinforced one.
    Bridge is under internet tab in manual setup.. connection sharing.. off bridged mode.
