Hp 4000n, WIN 7 HOME NETWORK PRINTER GOES OFFLINE ON REBOOT

I have 2 WIN7 desktops and 2 printers. One HP L4000n is attached locally to one computer and shared by the other computer on the home network. It is attached to a standard parallel printer port (via) a IEEE1284 controller card. The other printer is an HP m175nw connected directly to the router and shared across the network by both computers. Every time I reboot the 4000n goes into an offline status as to the non host computer and I must uninstall and reinstall it to be able to use it on the non host. Sometimes I have to jump through hoops and waste a lot of time even when I go through the uninstall reinstall process (it is hit or miss). The M175nw is never a problem and is usable by both computers. Is there any simple solution to this problem?
Thanks

The 4000N appears to be a commercial LaserJet printer. I recommend posting in the commercial LaserJet forums.

Win 8.1 machines printer goes offline very frequently

Hi,
We have some users are in win-8.1 OS, more frequently they have printer offline issue.

Hi,
Firstly, please access to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers, choose the printer you use and double click it. After that, click
Printer, check if Use Printer Offline was checked, if so, uncheck it.
Secondly, if problem persists, try to restart Print Spooler service for test.
If problem persists, try to reinstall printer driver for test.
If you need any further assistance, please feel free let us know.

Printer goes offline after reboot (windows vista)

I'm running the latest version of bonjour for windows and vista is running the latest patches. Here's the problem: I can use bonjour to add my HP Laserjet with no problems and its prints perfectly. All is good until I need to restart the computer. After reboot, the printer is listed as offline and nothing I've tried can change the status. I can delete the printer and rerun bonjour and it works again until the next reboot. I don't know what changed but I use to be able to print all the time without this problem. Anyone have this problem or any solutions.
Thanks

Same problem with here, except I've got three computers: one Mac and two WinXP (SP3) pc's. The mac has no problems but both PC's see my Canon PIXMA ip1800 as offline after they reboot. A re-run of the Bonjour setup fixes the problem until the next reboot. I've got the printer connected to an Airport Extreme Gigabit N base station. All software and firmware (on everything) is up to date. Any help would be appreciated.

HP OfficeJet 6500A Printer goes offline shortly after setup

Hi,
Question is: How do I stop my HP 6500A e710a-f printer from going offline? (this is NOT the 6500A+)
I have a Dell laptop running Win8.0, connecting wirelessly via a Huawei B593 LTE router. Printer is HP 6500A using the E710a-f driver. Printer is attached to the router via an ethernet cable.
I can create a new HP 6500A printer and print a test page over the wireless network. However, shortly after this, the printer goes 'offline'. I have tried to re-connect by restarting the Printer Servies, but - again - this only helps for a short period of time. i have also re-created the printer from scratch by deleting and then re-creating the printer. Again, the same result.
This should be a standard offering for what is an expensive home office printer with standard ethernet ports. Most home offices use wireless routers - so this should be a simple connection.
I have looked through the Forums, but not seen any definitive answer - a lot of suggestions over the last few years, but no straight answer. Apart from the guy who left and bought an Epson instead........!
It cannot be that hard to fix what should be a standard offering for this printer.
Can someone help me?

HP LaserJet 600 M602 printer goes offline every night

Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet 600 M602 CE991A printer on a wired network. I have quite a few other printers on the network as well and do not show me this kind of behavior.
But for some reason, this printer, from as soon as I bought it, goes offline every time from around 5.20-5.30pm to around 8.30pm. I have a ping tester running as I am trying to figure out what's going on and I got 100% drop every night for that time period.
I looked to see if there was a setting that puts this device to sleep or so but no, I cant find anything. I have tried with the energy setting sleep mode on or off, wake up events to trigger a wake up call to the printer but no luck.
Firmware Bundle Version3.2.5
Firmware Revision2302908_435019
Firmware Date Code20140529
I am out of options, in our other locations, we have sam printer but a CE993A models and they do not show this kind of behavior at all.
I am at a deadlock here.

Hi @Halan ,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print when the laptop isn't in the same area as the printer. I would like to help you out today.
What is the distance of the printer and the Laptop when the printer goes offline?
Try these steps to see if it will resolve the issue.

HP Printer goes offline after software update!@

I'm having trouble with printer going offline on two of my computers:
(imac 9,1 & 2014 macbook air)
Printer: HP officejet 8500a Plus
I repaired the permissions on both hard drives to see if it was a cups/communication issue and deleted and reinstalled the software/printer.
This is really frustrating! any help or insight would be appreciated... I don't feel like code hunting tonight...

Home network print problem

Something very strange,
Our home network is a Vista PC with an Epson 2880 printer attached to the Vista PC. My wife's XP PC connects through our simple network and prints on the Epson printed by going through my computer. Simple set up, no problems. We both use CS4, set so CS4 manages color, correct Epson paper profile, printer color management off, all the correct settings. Both our monitors are color corrected with Spyder3.
When she prints from her computer every picture has a magenta cast. Even more strange is when I copy the same picture onto my PC and open it in my copy of CS4 the picture looks normal but CS4 will not print it. CS4 says I do not have a printer attached. I can open any other picture in the same CS4 session and print with no problems. Every time I try to print a picture that she printed CS4 says there is no printer. This occurs even when I have copied the picture onto my computer and opened it on my computer. I have tried renaming the picture and even changing the format to TIFF or JPEG but CS4 still refuses to print it.
I can open a new blank document and use the move tool to move the picture onto the blank document, At this point I can print from CS4 normally AND the picture will not have any color cast?!
Any help with this?
Thanks, BradS

Try setting the default printer on both computers to a generic one (like Fax).
If you don't have one, download it here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=pdrv&platform=win
You may have to delete the Epson first and then re-install.
This means you will have to select the Epson from the Print dialog each time but if it fixes the problem it's worth it.

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 Premium - wireless home network printing from multiple devices

We have a wireless home network with several desk tops, lap tops and tablets using the network for internet access. There is only one printer in the home, our hp Officejet pro 8600 Premium. Right now everyone who has access to the network can print. We want to prevent printing from specific devices while allowing printing from others. How do I password protect the printer so that only certain devices may print? Or alternatively, remotely prevent devices from printing?

Well this is a little tricky. You have a 'home' network so we assume you want everyone to print went they want. If you are talking about 'guest' that come over and use the printer, the best thing is to get a router with a Guest Network which isolates your home network.
That being said there is no 'password' you can put on the printer , however you can add security.
Start/Devices and Printers/ Right click on your printer and select Printer Properties , select the Security Tab. Now you can set security.

Home network printing problem from Windows 8

I have 3 PCs on my home network:
1.    Windows XP desktop (Pro SP3) with HP 6500 E709a USB printer.
2.    Windows 7 desktop (Ultimate SP1 64 bit) with HP 1018 USB printer.
3.    Windows 8 (64 bit) laptop.
Both printers are NOT Ethernet printers.
All computers can see each other and share folders on the home network.
Computers 1 & 2 can freely print on their own printers, as well as on each other's printer.
The problem is with computer 3 (Win8): it can see both printers, but can't print on either (in fact, I can print a test page on the HP 1018 printer from the printer driver on the Win8 machine, but I can't print anything from any application).
I tried to install HP 6500 driver on the Win8 machine, I turned on Network Discovery in the Advanced Sharing Settings on it, but it still doesn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any "general puprpose" driver for HP 6500 E709a, something to replace the WIN8 driver that fails?

SOLUTION to your HP printer going offline and/or constantly disconnecting from the network

If you are having a problem printing, scanning or faxing with any HP Printer because of it going offline and constantly disconnecting from the network, here is the fix!
I figured this all out after many unsuccessful attempts with HP Support, my Internet Service Provider and various troubleshooting tasks including reinstalling HP software over and over and over. Well, through self teaching on the internet and 6 grueling months of research, I FINALLY figured it out. OMG! I am a Paramedic (not IT) and somewhat computer literate but by far no expert. I here all of you! Nobody seems to have the answer but I am 97% sure that I do. Either way, please reply back and let me know that this did in fact work for you! :-)
It doesn't matter if your printer is installed wirelessly or wired. Don’t worry about reinstalling your software, no recycling your printers’ power or your Router/Modem. The reason your printer is unstable on the network and continues to either go offline or disconnect from the network is NOT because the software is glitched, it’s not a firewall problem per say, it’s not a router problem, there isn’t a problem with your power cord, it’s because most networks use a “range” of IP addresses and for security purposes, it sort of “cycles” the various devices’ IP addresses to decrease the chance of an attack. A printer is no threat but the “network” doesn’t possess human intelligence so it doesn’t know this. Below are my step by step instructions on how to basically make your printer hold its IP address (static IP) instead of changing back and forth through a cycle therefore dropping your printer off the network or disconnecting.
Funny, if you are someone who has had items in your print cue, they won’t print, and you turn your printer off and then back on and suddenly your documents print…well, join my club. The reason this works is because when you first turn on the printer, it starts with the same IP address before it cycles. If you are someone who sits there for a while and suddenly your documents print without you changing anything…this is because through the IP cycle change, it hits your printers IP address and the network will allow it to print. Not very funny, I know. It took me forever to figure out why my printer would print sometimes but not all the time. Since I figured this out, I can SCAN, PRINT and use all of the features of my installed HP software such as HP Solution Center, Photosmart Essentials.
On your printer, go to menu/setup/network and press OK. Inside the network menu, print a "network configuration page" so you can see the IP address and other settings for your printer.
Now, go back to main menu on your printers’ screen. Or you can go to your web browser and type in the IP address using the decimals too and this will take you to your printers’ web page. Choose: setup\network and press OK. Look for IP settings and press OK. Choose "manual" instead of "automatic". Enter the IP address there manually as well as the default gateway which you can see on the network configuration page that you printed earlier. Note: If you manually set the printer's IP, make sure that it is outside of your router's DHCP range. Otherwise you may run into an issue with duplicate IP's on your network. (If you don’t know how to do this, write back and I will explain). Don’t forget to click “save changes”. Now, restart your computer and print anything you want. :-)
A trick I often use with printers in DHCP networks:
In Printers and Faxes right click on the printer and select “properties”. Click add a new port. Choose standard TCP/IP port configured to the printer host name. Read the hostname from the printer's network configuration sheet.
Using my method means that you always connect to the printer even if its IP changes (which may happen with dynamic configuration). This does not jeopardize your network security. It just tells your printer to stay put and stop traveling the IP address highway. :-)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The DHCP range is the range of IP addresses the router hands out automatically as devices join the network. The DHCP range is determined by the router and each brand has a range set at the factory (that can be changed by you).
Your D-link's DHCP default range is 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.199. So, outside the DHCP range is .2 to .99 and .200 to .254.
Attached is a handy cheat sheet.
You can change this range by entering the router's settings page - type the router's IP address into a browser, enter the login info and navigate to the DHCP settings area (varies based on router, hunt around).

How do I send email and web pages over a shared home network printer?

I want to share web pages with a shared home printer over our home network. One computer using Windows 7 and another using windows XP. I know I can send document files to the shared computer. The computer with the Windows 7 OS is wireless; the other using XP is directly connected to a cable router and to the printer.
== I have not been able to do this.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying to print?

Printer goes offline

Currently have a HP Color laserjet 3600dn that is installed as a network printer and installed on a Windows 2008 R2. The clients connect to the printer using Windows 7.
Periodically the printer will just go offline and there doesn't appear to be any rhythm or reason for it doing it. Users will print to the printer and documents won't print but remain in the queue. And usually what happens is the printer will decide to come back online and print the documents but the range of time may very.
Have done some of the simple things of turning off printer, unplugging, restarting print spooler and currently using version 61.82.61.41 of the HP printer drivers. Have performed various internet searches and SNMP is not enabled as some have suggested.
Does anyone have other suggestions or have run into this problem?

This is kind of random, and may not apply to this, but I've had the exact same issue before with HP printers. When the HP printer had the Smart Install feature turned on, it would periodically kill network traffic to the printer. If your printers have this
feature, try turning them off. See below to find out how:
In order to turn off the Smart Install service, you will need to use the built in menu on the printer itself. Do the following:
Click Ok for the menu
Push the right arrow 3 times to get to the service menu
Then Push the left arrow (I think 3 times) to get to the Smart Install options
Then choose off.
Again, this may not be relevant to your issue, but I'd kick myself if I didn't throw this random fix out there.
