How to connect to a officejet 6600 wirelessly

I am trying to connect and print to the printer wirelessly but not sure how to set it all up.
Here is my hardware setup
Office jet 6600 printer
Lenovo laptop.
There is no internet connection available.
The printer is not connected to any network currently.
Once I turn the printer on my laptop can see the HPH711g.750CC9 network that is being broadcast by the printer.
I can connect to that network wich doesnt require any authentication.
When I run the add printer wizard, it finds nothing.

Well I'm not too sure. I pulled up the manual for your printer and there is no mention of Wireless Direct or Ad Hoc printing. I did find this in the specification section.
Connectivity
• USB 2.0 high speed
• Wireless 802.11b/g/n
1 This product supports the 802.11n 2.4 GHz frequency band.
So I am not sure what your computer is connecting too. But according to the manual you will need a router.

You would have to have one of the few HP printers that support airprint:
iOS: AirPrint 101
Or you could find an app that provides this feature.

Unable to connect to HP Officejet 6600 after printer enters sleep mode

Actiontec MI424WR wireless router
HP Officejet 660
Dell XPS 8300 (Windows 7, Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials)
IP Address range: 192.168.1.x
Printer is assigned static IP address
The HP Officejet 6600 printer is easy to set up and works great...for about 15 minutes. Then the printer goes to sleep and the wireless connection dies. Repeatedly. I am never able to restore the wireless connection without rebooting the printer, computer AND the router. I've been dealing with this issue off and on since I purchased the printer four months ago.
I can see from forums that I am not the only one with this issue. What I can't see (anywhere) is a solid fix for the issue.
I can tell you:
1. It's NOT the windows firewall. I've tried it with the firewall on and the firewall off.
2. It's NOT the antivirus software. I've tried it with the service running and the service stopped.
3. It doesn't matter whether the IP address is statically assigned or assigned with a DHCP reservation (though you do need to do one or the other)
4. Adding an ARP static entry helped a little bit to get rid of the "Host reports destination unreachable".
5. It doesn't matter whether the Bonjour service is running or not.
6. It doesn't matter whether the printer is configured for wireless direct printing or not.
7. I updated to the most recent firmware for the printer: that didn't help.
8. I'm positive that the printer is connected to the wireless router correctly.
I ran telnet from my pc to the printer (on port 80) and received no response. I can only conclude that somehow, there's a service that's supposed to be running on the printer that has died or that fails to register properly with the router.
Right now, I'm back to a direct connection between the printer and the computer (usb cable). Which means I can only print from the one device.
I have no intention of purchasing another HP product any time soon. I'll be sure to go out of my way to find knock-off cartridges as well.
Ugh.

Just to verify, what is the DHCP range in the router? Starting and ending addresses? What is the printer static IP at?

How to print 'booklet' on Officejet 4500 Wireless?

The office I work in has just bought a new Officejet 4500 Wireless, but we are unsure how to print a booklet. With our old printer, the option came up once you hit print, but now it doesn't. Does anyone know how to print a booklet on this type of printer? Thanks for advice. The opertaing sytem is Windows 7 if that makes a difference.

How to Connect Airport Express to Existing Wireless Network (Client Mode)

I am posting this for everyone tearing their hair out trying to connect the Airport Express to your own existing home wireless network. After spending 2 hours last night installing this on my father-in-law's home network, I hope to be able to save someone else the agony we went through.
So here's the situation:
Say you already have your own home network set up, and all you want is to be able to use AirTunes to play music off iTunes into your speaker system. And, you don't need the printer sharing capability nor creation of another wireless network (2 of the features of Airport Express). Then this solution is for you - read on.
Unfortunately, Apple's user manual is very unclear how to connect Airport Express to your own network. When you look at the picture diagram they provide, they show Airport Express picking up its signal from another Apple-oriented base. This can make you think you need to buy another piece of hardware to make it work. DON'T If you read through the manual, the Support section here, etc., you will hear lots of talk about "Client Mode" - and that this is the only way to get it to work. Nice - but no one really tells you how to set up the Airport in client mode.
Do yourself a favor, toss that user manual aside and run these steps.
(Note: These directions assume your DSL/Cable Modem is hooked up to a wireless router or acts as its own wireless router)
1. Get a cat5 Ethernet cable (anything but an orange cable - that's a crossover cable) like you would use to connect your PC to your router to pick up the Internet.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the router on one end, and to the Airport Express unit on the other end.
3. Plug in your Airport Express unit to the wall (this will not necessarily become its permanent location - you will be able to move it later). The light will glow solid Amber for about 30-45 seconds while it starts up, then blink Amber. At this point, the unit is ready to operate.
4. Install the CD to the PC where your iTunes music is stored. This should be painless. Once you open the program, it should detect the Airport unit.
5. At this point, the on-screen wizard will present you with your options, and walk you through the setup. This is much like the user manual describes - and you should be good to go form here forward.
Some pointers:
- When asked if you want to create a new network, join an existing network, or connect via Ethernet, choose the middle option for joining an existing network. You will need to know the name of your network, the password to connect to the network (if present), and the type of encryption used on the network (e.g. WEP, WPA, etc.). Side note, WPA is recommended, as it is a higher level of security than WEP. You will be able to configure the Airport Express unit to automatically login to your network.
- I would recommend, when creating a password for the Airport Express unit, use the same password as your network, to avoid confusion.
6. The very last step will ask you to save the settings to the Airport Express. Here's the kicker - when you save the settings, you are TRICKING the Airport Express into no longer acting as a network broadcaster, but instead being a "slave" to your own network. What do I mean? You will lose the connection from your PC to the Airport Express - an error message will pop up telling you the unit can no longer be found. While you might think you did something wrong, you actually were successful!
7. Unplug your Airport Express, and disconnect the Ethernet cable from your router and the Airport unit. This will no longer be needed.
8. Go to your desired location where you want to plug in your Airport Express unit. Before plugging it in, connect your Audio cable from the Airport Express to your audio receiver. Once that is connected, then plug in the Airport Express unit. The light will glow solid Amber for 30-45 seconds while it loads, and then will blink Amber for a brief period of time before turning solid GREEN. When this happens, you have successfully connected the Airport Express to your home network!
9. Go back to your PC with iTunes. Open the Airport software - you should now have a listing for your Airport Express unit in the upper left. Click on this, and the wizard will guide you through connecting - you will need the password you created for the unit. You only need to go through this wizard once, and when finished, the software will tell you that can now use iTunes with your Airport unit.
10. Open iTunes. On the lower right, you will see a dropdown for Speakers, and it should be defaulted to My Computer. Click on that drop-down, and you will see the name of your Airport unit. Click on that name, and now your music will broadcast to the Airport unit!
11. Play a song in iTunes. Go to your audio receiver, and connect it to the channel for your external connection to the Airport Express unit. You should hear your music from iTunes. CONGRATULATIONS! =)
I hope these instructions were helpful - I am happy to answer any questions, so feel free to contact me, *******************@*****.**.
<Edited by Moderator>

Thanks for the detailed directions. You are absolutely correct in stating that people should toss the user manual; it's pretty worthless. I have had a problem setting up my new Airport Express as I have described in an earlier post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1839873&tstart=45
One quick question - does using your setup process set the AE up as part of a distributed network where the AE is acting as a wireless router where it is extending the range of your network? Or, is it simply a wireless connection to your stereo for iTunes? I am interested in having both, since my AE will be at the other end of the house from the main wireless router.
Thanks

HP Officejet 6600 - wireless printing works with PC, but not iPad, iPhone or MacBook Pro

I just purchased a new Officejet 6600. Plugged it in, set up on the wireless network. Turned on my iPhone and printed with no problem. I then used the setup disc to setup on my windows desktop. It works beautifully. However, now we can't get the printer to print docs from iPad, iPhone, or Mac Book Pro. The printer shows in the print cue, says it is printing, and nothing. Installed on my Toshiba Laptop. No problem. HELP!! Very frustrating. Old HP printer worked on the wireless network with all of these devices.

Hi helpls,
I recommend using the following document to get the printer printing from the Windows PC again.

How to connect my ipad mini to wireless printer

Could someone tell me how to connect my ipad mini to my AirPrint printer

If it says there is no sim card installed it either can't find one physcially, or the card moved and lost contact or has failed. A new sim card can be obtained form your Mum's cell/mobile carrier if needed easily.
However this is irrelevant to whether or not the iPad can join a Wifi network. Its 2 different things.
For now ignore the Sim card message and just try to connect to her Wifi network. It is independent and should function regarldess of the sim card status.

How to connect time capsule to existing wireless router

Hi
I am struggling to set up my time capsule is it possible to connect it to my existing wireless router or does the time capsule have to replace it as I have tried to do that but I cannot get a connection or signal to the WAN port?
I have the set up instructions but its not helping I am a complete novice at this.

Yes you can.
Just plug the TC into one of the Ethernet ports on your router. WAN port on the TC.
Before you do that, set the TC up to be in 'bridge mode' in AirPort Utility.

It is likely your antivirus firewall in the way. What do you use? Download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

Setting up HP Officejet 6500A; not sure how to connect to web w/ home wireless network

I have a small home wireless network. I set the printer up today but it says that I must connect to the internet (fax part is working). The only desktop I have, I keep off most the time and just use my laptop (which is for work so I can't set the printer up to this).
Is there a way to connect the printer directly to my router? They are only a few feet from one another; however, I have no clue how to do it and the instructions manual didn't tell me much. Do I need a phone line? What would I use to connect the two?
This question was solved.

Use an Ethernet cable, available in any tech store, online or even Target will have them.
Plug it into the back of the printer and router. You should be able to add the printer to your laptop. Let me know what operating system you have and I can help.

How do I connect my HP Officejet 6600/6700 to my IMac using Moutain Lion? I downloaded the driver. the printer works but I can't scan. Any recommendation?

I downloaded the driver from the apple sit. the printer works but I can't scan. It says I need to enable the scanner. Any recommendation?

I would suggest asking HP, but have you tried scanning with Image Capture or with the Scan utility in Print & Scan system prefs?

How to connect my G3 to a wireless network-

what do i need to connect my old G3 MAC to i wireless internet connection – my lokal AppleShop don't sell Airport to this old computer – do anybody know how i get wireless?

rberg,
all you need is a wireless router and a wireless internet card
Explore the links below. Just pay attention to the fact that you need to find a Mac compatible wireless PCI card.
The router is not a problem.
http://www.netgear.com
http://www.dlink.com/
I have one installed, serving our three B&W G3 (wired), and connecting wireless with our iBook (equipped with airport).
Their routers are airport compatible. You only need to set them up.

How to connect a printer to a wireless connection using airport/time capsule

How do you connect a Cannon MP620 printer to the wireless network with my time capsule/airport? It was set up before but I've had to redo all the settings with a new Time Capsule and now the printer isn't working. Can't remember how I set it up before. Didn't seem that hard back then.
Thanks!

So you plugedd the printer into the time capsule usb right?
You need to re-add the printer in the system preferences one more time because the location has moved.
