How do I get my USB to wireless printer on a network without a computer?

If you have a USB to Wireless printer and no computer to use the software to do this and do not want to use the WPS option (or it is not available), then the following method may help.
This is intended to get a USB to wireless, like the Deskjet 3512 printer, on the wireless network when there is no computer available.  However, this can work from a computer as well if you prefer not to install the software.
For these steps, I will use an iPad.
1.  The printer will broadcast a wireless network of its own.  This usually has HP Setup and the model of the printer listed in the network name.  Connect a wireless device to this network.
2.  Once connected, open the browser.  In my case, this is Safari.
3.  Enter the 192.168.223.1 address in the address and press go to access the printer's status page.
4.  Once there, there will be many tabs at the top.  Select Network.
5.  Select Wireless Setup Wizard.
6.  Select Next at the bottom.
7.  It will search for available networks.  Select your network from the list and select next.  The network should be highlighted, select it again if it is not.
8.  It will ask for the password.  Enter the password and select Next at the bottom.
9.  The printer should now be connected to the network.  It may take a few minutes to reflect this.  Reconnect the computer or mobile device back to your regular network and it should be good to go.

If you are able to go to other websites, then the iPad is not connected to the printer's network.  The first step is absolutely key for this process to work and that is to connect the iPad to the printer's broadcasted network.
For the steps to work, the printer will need to be connected to the printer's SSID for the printer's IP address to load.
While connected to the printer's SSID, there will be no internet connection so no websites will be able to load.
The steps provided are for mostly newer model printers that have the 192.168.223.1 address reserved in them.  However, older printers use a 169.254.X.X address.
What model is your printer?  You may need to connect the iPad to the printer and then print a network config page off the printer to get the proper address for the printer.

    What kind of iPod are you getting to replace it? If it is an iPod Touch, and you are in the US, after you set up the Touch you can use the iCloud beta and download your previous music, books and app purchases directly to your Touch.

    Well, you posted this question in the iMac forum and since you do not have your system info listed in your signature, we all assumed that you were asking about an iMac - not an eMac. That's why out pics do not make any sense.
    Yes, the eMac has USB ports also. They are the second, third, and fourth ports back from the front - the ones after the small circular headphone style jacks.

  • I have a HP 8500 wireless printer how do i get my i phone to print to it ?

    I have a HP office Jet 8500 how do i get my I phone to print to it?

    If you have a camera - you have the iPad 2.
    Lexmark makes a printing app, but as far as I can remember, you can only print photos with it - however, that may have changed by now.
    Look at apps like Print Central, Print Bureau and Print and Share for WiFi printing. You can also download apps like Printopia (Mac) and Print Magic (Windows) that let you use your computer as the print server for iPad printing.

  • My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, "Please enter you WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits)" but my netwotk uses a password of 6 characters. How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network?

    I have a current iMac with the latest OS update.
    My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, “Please enter your WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits).  My  Airport Express, an early model, only requires a password of less than 10 characters.
    When I open “airport utility,”on my iMac it tells me this version doesn’t support my base station & says go to “Airport Service & Support.”  That’s what got me here.
    My earlier MacBook runs OS 10.6.8. Its version of  Airport Utility works. Its Airport ID has 17 characters, & uses the same password to access the internet, but it also has a “wireless password” of 26 characters, but only shows me the dots. i haven’t the foggiest notion  what the characters are, if I put them in there years ago when i did the original configuration, or if they got there otherwise..
    I’m afraid of changing those settings for fear that I’l mess up the whole thing.
    How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network, ?

  • How do I get my Cannon MX870 wifi printer recognize my IPad?

    How do I get my Cannon MX870 wifi printer recognize my IPad?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're all users here.
    First, Canon has a free app designed for photo printing, iEasy Photo Print (iEPP).
    If you also have a Mac running OS X 10.6 or newer, HandyPrint (formerly known as AirPrint Activator) from netputing.com might work for you. http://www.netputing.com/handyprint/
    The Mac needs to be on and running the app in order to print. I used it for a time with several non AirPrint printers, both wired and wireless, connected to my Mac.
    Because it is a Mac OS X app, rather than an iOS iPad/iPhone app, it DOES work with most iPad and iPhone apps seamlessly. (I won't say 'ALL' apps, because I only used it with a few dozen, and there are over 800,000 iOS apps out there.) You don't need to save your work and open another app in order to print.
    HandyPrint is donationware. Download it and give it a try for up to 14 days.
    If it works for you, great, you are asked to make a small donation.
    If not, it costs nothing to find out.

  • I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer

    I have a new computer. i signed into itunes but my music isn't there.  How do i get all my music off my old iphone to the new computer so i can put all the music on my new one.
    The guy at att told me that icloud would sync everything i had in my notes, calendar, and text messages to my new phone, but it only synced some of my notes, none of my messages, or calendar info.

    Your music will only be where you put it.  It will not magically appear on a new computer.
    Copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    If for some reason you cannot do this, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an iphone:  Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
    You can also redownload itunes purchases from icloud in some countires:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    I know nothing about your printer. However, to use it properly you must Add the printer in Print & Scan preferences.
    See OS X Mavericks- Set up a printer. Also, consult the printer's user manual. With the proper setup the printer should print color or b/w automatically. If you have further problems you need to start with the printer HP's tech support.

  • How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards. It gives me a mismatch paper size error

    How do I get my HP 2645 to print 4x6 cards?   It gives me a mismatch paper size error.

    Hi @aleek,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to print 4x6 cards to your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645, when you attempt to print the card you get a 'Paper Mismatch' error.
    I would like you to go ahead and take a look in your User Guide on page 10, here it shows how to load the media and change the printing preferences, although it shows Photos, you would use the same guidelines and steps for the Index cards, just be sure to change the media type to the correct card you are using.
    Once you have the media loaded and settings set if you are still getting the error, continue here: 'Paper Mismatch,' or 'Paper Size Mismatch' Error Message Displays When Printing
    I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions please let me know.

    There is 3rd party software out there to install on your computer, to be able to print from a device using iOS 4.2.
    For example Printopia if you're using a Mac.
    You'll need at least an iPhone 3GS to be able to do so without other 3rd party software:
