How to get How do I get my Vista PC to See my Photosmart 5515 Printer via my wireless network

I have recently purchased a Photosmart 5515 (B111h) printer and have followed the setup instructions to the letter. The printer is now connected to the wireless network with an IP address of 192.168.0.4. Nomatter what I try I cannot get my PC or laptop to see the printer, either using hp setup software, hp network diagnostics or via web browser using the printers ip address. I can use my pc to get the router to ping the printer sucessfuly. In desparation i set up my XP netbook and eventually got it to browse the printers built in homepage but i could not connect via hp software. After running the hp network diagnostics it told me that the correct software was not installed. After some further effort i eventually ended up downloding 5515b drivers and now the netbook is sucessfully sending to the printer, but I still can not get the two Vista machines to even see the printer. All the machines are running Norton internet security 2012, but turning the firewalls of does not make any difference to the Vista machines. I have repeatedly run the HP network diagnostics, this has not found the printer in (in the "HP printers found on your network" box) but does show it (in the newtwork devices list) as a device on the network with the IP address above and the name HPEC9A76C7CAB. I have also tried to brows the printers internal web page at the IP address but I get nothing, the page is in a constant state of update (No "page not found message", but no page either). Eventually (over a few min) it stop trying to update, the page remains blank but a "HP" logo appears in the browsers page tab. I have a samsung laser on the wireless network and this behaves perfectly and can easily be browsed. I also had a Kodak, which I removed to be replaced by the HP which also behaved perfectly for nearly 2 years. I am using a SKY router, which had been in use for several years now - without any problems. So the current state of play is on the network I have A Vista PC that can't see the printer A Vista Laptop that can't see the printer Two iPads that can acces AirPrint over the network without problems An XP netbook that can access the printer without problems (other than the issues at setup) Two windows 7 laptops which I am not even going to attempt to tackle until the Vista machines are up and printing. Any help from the Experts would be much appreciated. Thanks Thanks

OK, well, I don't suppose it could have been that easy
I am thinking it has something to do with your router. It is supplied by your ISP, right? Try restarting the router by pulling its power plug momentarily. Make sure the printer re-connects (with a proper IP address) after the router restarts.
Can you check to see if the firmware in the router is up to date?

How do I get my PC to See my Photosmart 5515 Printer via my wireless network

I have recently purchased a Photosmart 5515 (B111h) printer and have followed the setup instructions to the letter. The printer is now connected to the wireless network with an IP address of 192.168.0.4. However I am unable to find it on the network using the HP setup software.
To test the connection I have set up eprinting and his works fine, so the printer must be connected to my route to be able to connect to the internet. I have run the printers wireless newtork test report and everything has come out "PASS"
I have tried turning off my personal firewall (Norton Internet Security 2012), but this has made no difference.
I have run the HP network diagnostics, this has not found the printer in (in the "HP printers found on your network" box) but does show it (in the newtwork devices list) as a device on the network with the IP address above and the name HPEC9A76C7CAB.

I have also tried connecting the printer via USB. This worked fine, but when I tried to use the setup software to change the USB connection to a wireless one, it identified the the printer was already connected to my wireless network, but again could not find it.
I am pulling my hair out here (and i have not got much to spare) can anyone help me out with a solution?
Thanks

HI,
I do not have a "Devices and Printers" option when I click on the start, The only thing I have close to that is the "Settings" then the "Printers" option but that behaves nothing like you describe from step 2 onewards.
I did have a play with the printers though and tried to add a preinter manually. When I chose the option of the new printer to be wireless it found the printer and I was able to install a driver for it from the CD. So now I have the printer working..... BUT the HP 5510 family printer software still does not work, I still can not connect it to the printer and can not install the scanner.
If I run HP home diagnostics It still can not find the printer on the network. However (now that I have installed the printer manually) the HP printer diagnostics finds the printer straight away and tells me there are no problems with it!!.
This is a far from satifactory situation. I may have the printer working (not exactly sure how I managed this when the HP software still can not see it) but I have no scanner or access to the HP tools.
Has anyone got any Idea what is going on or how to fix it?

HT4199 My macbook pro and ipad does not recognize my printer on my wireless network, but my pc does. How can I get my apple products to see it on the network so I can print wirelessly? My printer is a Brother MFC-J270W

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

Hi Kappy,
Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
Appreciate any help you can provide.

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are XP,Vista & 7.
Thanks

Unplug the USB cable from the printer. Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.

How to connect an Ethernet laser printer to a wireless network?

hi, I have three computers on an Airport Xpress wireless network. I have an (non-USB) HP Laserjet 4100 that has a network card (10/100tx HP Jetdirect 600N). How do I connect this printer to my network? Can I wire it directly to one of my computers using a standard ethernet cable? or do I have to set up a hub? Any insight most appreciated!

There's another way to do it...
I have a Linksys wireless router for my home network (and internet) and have my HP LaserJet 4000 hooked up to it, and all my computers can print to it. However, it does require a Windows computer for set-up, because HP makes the set-up utility for Windows only. (I set it up with my Intel Mac running Win)
Follow these instructions:

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886. The computer recognizes the printer, and asks me to identify the software, but I get the same error message repeatedly.

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

How to Connect a USB-to-Wireless printer to a Wireless Network without a PC

Some printers from HP do not have a Wireless Setup Wizard built into the front panel for connecting to a network. These models install to a computer through a USB connection and the software then sends the wireless information across the USB cable to the printer. However, you may not always have a computer present and still need to connect these printers to a wireless network. You can use a wireless device, such as an iPad, to do this. For the example below I have used an iPad and a Deskjet 3510 series printer.
The first step is to make sure your printer is broadcasting a network (Ad-Hoc). To do this, turn the printer on and press the wireless button or turn wireless off, then on in the Setup menu. Connect the iPad (or other wireless device) to the wireless signal being broadcast by the printer.
Once the iPad is connected to the printer as a network connection, open the Web Browser on the iPad. Type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and go to that site. The printer's status page should load and look similar to the image below.
Click on the Network tab at the top of the Status page. You may get a prompt warning about being redirected to an HTTPS site. Click Ok on the message box to continue. When you click OK, you may get a warning regarding the certificate or server identity. Select the option that lets you continue. The wording will vary from browser to browser, but there should be an option to continue anyway.
Network status page should now be loaded at this point. Select Wireless Setup Wizard to start the wireless network setup and click Next.
When next is selected, it should list the available wireless networks. Select your network from this list and select next. When the network is selected, it should be highlighted.
Enter the network’s password, if any, and select next.
A message should be received indicating the name and if security is enabled. The message below that should indicate the settings were saved successfully. If it says the settings were saved successfully with an error, the network setup is more than likely functioning. Select Ok at the bottom.
After selecting OK, select Status to verify the printer is connected successfully. It may take a few minutes for the wireless light on the printer to stop flashing. Once it is a solid blue, the printer should be on the network and functioning.
Once this is completed, then you will be able to reconnect to your normal wireless signal (Wireless Router) for internet access. Now both the iPad and printer are on the same Home Network.

How do I print from my new Ipad to my Canon printer on my wireless network

How do I print from my new Ipad to my Canon printer on my wireless network

Actually, the article tells you to get it on the same network...but not how. No Canon specific application is needed for printer setup. It can all be done from the front panel of the printer.
Look at the manual, it will describe how to get the printer on to your wire wirelless network. Canon support can help.
Next connect you iPad to the same network. The in applications that print, you will find a print option in the share menu. The printer should be selectable from there.

My HP printer on the wireless network and I can not get it to print using my iPad

Any ideas on how to get my wireless printer to print using my iPad?

Are you using an Airprint-capable printer? Is it on this list?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If it is, have you updated your firmware. Most printers that say they can be used with Airprint need to have their firmware upgraded before they can actually print using Airprint. HP's support pages provide the FW downloads you will need.

How do I use a 2nd Airport Extreme plugged into an Ethernet Wall Plug to join an existing wireless network to give me a better signal upstairs?

I have a 5th generation Airport Extreme giving me a great wireless signal on the 1st floor of my house. However the signal upstairs is weak. So I purchased another 5th generation Airport Extreme that I would like to plug into an ethernet wall plug upstairs. I would then like to have the upstairs Airport Extreme join the same network thus giving me a good wirelss signal upstairs. I have a MacBook Pro running OS 10.7.4. Can somebody give me step-by-step directions to set up the upstairs Airport Extreme?

I assume that the new AirPort Extreme is still in its original factory default settings.
Before you connect the AirPort Extreme, please connect a laptop to the Ethernet cable that will be used for the connection and turn off the wireless on the laptop. Make sure that you can can connect to the Internet before you begin to configure the AirPort Extreme.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the laptop and connect it to the WAN "O" port on the upstairs AirPort Extreme and power it up.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 6.1
Look in the upper left hand corner of the screen for a tab or box that reads "Other AirPort Base Stations (1)"
Click on that box,then click on the name AirPort Extreme xxxxxx
Wait a moment while AirPort Utility analyzes the network and then displays a message that the AirPort Extreme will be configured to extend your existing wireless network.
Enter a Base Station (device) name for the AirPort Extreme (and a device password if prompted), then click Next.
Wait another minute or two until AirPort Utility notifies you that the AirPort Extreme has been Set Up.
That's it.

I'm suddenly getting the kernel panic message and constant restarts when connected to the time machine wireless network. if is switch to the BT network, all fine. no help found so far as to what's wrong or how to correct, anyone have any thoughts...

Recently upgraded to mountain lion in order to buy the new tall tower for time machine backups. had to get technical support to help with set up as it wouldn't play ball with two computers. all working fine up until last week when the iMac started getting backup error messages. then system restarts independently when using time machine on the time machine wireless network. only stops restarting when I switch the wireless network back to he bt one, which is a pain obviously as can't back up to time machine then. it has to be a problem with airport utility or something wireless but all says all up to date with software etc. all still works fine backing up from laptop on the wireless network, just the iMac is not happy. any help or thoughts very much appreciated.

Hi, many thanks Bob, what you say is not unthinkable at all, although it does answer the question
"what could I do *instead* of ..." rather than the one I actually asked, but seriously ...
Shutting down might be an answer, although it would clear out my tmp directory - which I might not want to have to sort through looking for things I want to save every time I go to work, and also, now that nvram doesn't seem to work for disabling the boot chime, it can get a bit embarassing booting up in a busy meeting if I have forgotten to mute before I shut down. There are all sorts of other issues, such as editing documents, loading web pages and so on that I would have to set up again.
Your suggestion of letting Apple know is a good one - thank you for the link.
Take care,
Mark

Connecting HP Laserjet P1102W to wireless network (then getting drivers!)

Hi,
My macbook pro and HP LASERJET P1102W seemed to be communicating just fine when I had snow leapard. Post update to Mountain Lion, problems.
I have gotten the printer to work when connected via USB, however not consistently. (Often it cannot recognize when paper tray is filled, cannot do two sided printing and has other issues perhaps connected to the fact that software is missing?)
I have read the documentation on HP site, noting that the only way to install drivers is via a network connecton and airprint which requires a network connection.
Not sure this is the right place to ask this, but I will for now:
How do I connect my printer to my network, which is a new home network as I just changed from DSL to Cable?
Note: I had not previously ever connected my printer to my wireless network and set it up to work with Airprint, though that is one of the reasons I bought it.
Once I do connect the printer to my wireless network, perhaps then I can try to follow the steps on the HP site   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03425022&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=4142&product=4110396&sw_lang=
If anyone has experience with the above, I would love to hear it!
Final question: Is plugging the printer into the back of the new cable modem via ethernet or USB perhaps a way to put it on the wireless network? Not a convenient location, but if only alternative, I would try it.
THANKS!
Ani

Dear Happy-to-Help,
I appreciate you logging in to help. I shall give this a shot in the next couple of days when I have more time and let you know how it goes.
I have been quite frustrated by the fact that HP says if the HP Laserjet P1102W has worked fine with Snow Leapord and one upgrades to Mountain Lion, all the drivers will be automatically upgraded/updated (or whatever the term). That has not been the case at all.   It took quite a bit to even get my computer and printer to talk to one another via a USB connection—with none of the functions of the printer (as noted above) working properly to this day.
I hope your suggestion works. Will be back in touch to let you know.
Ani
