Hp C4580 printer won't connect to wireless network, but see network is available.

I've sat through quite a few of the threads here with regard to photsmart C4580 printer not connecting to wireless network.
My issues started with a cartridge issue, which I resolved with a new cartridge, but only after trying out different solution offered on HP forum.
Now printer won't connect to my network which it has been connected to for over 2 years with no issues. The wireless network is working perfectly fine and I even printed out a HP photosmart C4500 series connectivity status and in this report printer can see the network I need to connect to.
I've tried downloading various programs from Scan doctor to complete install of all HP programs and even tried installing printer from Windows 7 "add a printer", but none can see this printer.
lastly I was hoping trying to locate IP address for printer which looks like it may help, but report says IP Address "not applicable".
I believe printer, wireless network and PC are working correctly, this there a way to switch printer to online so it can be seen.
Help would be great.

  • My i-pod 3-generation touch won't connect to the internet but the network information is active on it

    I connected the i-pod to my wireless internet but the i-pod keeps saying it is not connected.

    What do you mean by "the network information is active"?
    Do other devices successfully connect to that network?
    Does the iPod successfully connect to othr networks?

  • MacBook running OSX 10.9.2 - Canon MX860 multifunction printer won't connect to wireless network

    At the same time I upgraded to OSX 10.9.2, my wireless modem/router died and I had to replace it.  Don't know which (or both) caused the problem, but I can't get my Canon MX860 multifunction printer back on the wifi network.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    I thought I would let you all know how I ended up fixing the issue on my system.
    I noticed that after some time the 'ping' would stop responding and I would have to reset the printer in order to get the ping responses again. This seemed more like a network strangness than an actual printer issue.
    So I connected to my AirPort Extreme to see if it was missing any software updates (it was not) and in the process I ended up making a couple of changes that I don't believe could be the cause of my issue, but any change made requires the device to reboot. After this, I was then able to add my printer.
    Everyone should also note that after you click on the + to Add a printer, it will take some time before the printer shows up in the Default section. So make sure you wait at least a couple of minutes for it to show up.
    So even though you may think the printer is actually on the network like I did (I could even put the IP address into Safari and access the printer configuration), it may still be a wireless network issue and not an actual issue with the printer or OSX 10.9.2 or the printer drivers.
    Hope that helps others having this same issue.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless: HP printer unable to connect to wireless router.

    Installing new printer,  getting error msg saying HP printer unable to connect to wireless router.   MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.
    SOLUTION says:  If MAC address filtering is enabled and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the MAC addressof your printer to the list of permitted devices for your wireless router before continuing.
    My router is WD My Net N900 Router. MAC filtering is diabled. My security mode is WPA/WPA2 Personal. 
    I have run out of ideas to try and fix the issues, would appreciate some help.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jamshidk
    I am surprised you are getting that message and you checked the router settings and it is showing that the Mac Filtering is disabled.
    I would suggest connecting the printer to the router with a ethernet cable to get a valid IP address and then setup the wireless.
    Print a configuration report.

    Type the IP address from the configuration page  in the address bar into internet explorer browser. This will open the embedded web server for the printer. Click on the Networking tab, on the left hand side select wireless. After this is setup and applied, disconnect the ethernet cable.
    Should be on the wireless network. Takes about 1 minute.
    Run the add printer wizard.
    Go to start, devices and printers and select add a printer. (Win 7)
    Test the printer.
    If you need more assistance just let me know.

  • Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN

    Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN.  I tried to install the printer software but it says it is already installed.  Do I have a security setting wrong?
    Other PC names show up on the printer's touch screen but not mine.  We are all on the same wireless subnet with the printer at a fixed IP address.
    I can print from my PC and scan from my PC but I can't scan from the printer touchscreen to my PC.

    Hi,
    You may have to start from your computer first:
        Double click printer icon on desktop,
        Select Manage Scan to Computer
        Click Enable -
        Restart your printer to see, is your machine in the list ?
    Regards.

    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • My printer won't connect wirelessly any more

    Since upgrading to the latest software my HP wireless printer won't print from any of my devices. I've rebooted both my iPad & mac but still no joy.

    Turn off everything including the router. Wait thirty seconds.
    Turn on router and wait until it finishes startup and indicates a good connection to the Internet.
    Turn on computer. Wait until it finishes startup.
    Turn on iPad or iPhone.
    Then open iTunes on the computer. Use the menu to check for updates. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes.
    Connect your iPad using the cable that came with the iPad. Do not use a third part cable.
    Select your iPad in iTunes.
    Click on Summary in iTunes and check the settings for Wi-Fi sync. If Wi-Fi sync is off turn it on. If wifey sync is on turn it off, wait a little but, then turn it back on.

  • Macbook Pro won't connect to wireless printer anymore suddenly

    Suddenly my Macbook Pro won't connect to my HP Photosmart B210e Printer.  I have tried adding it via IP address, it worked but I can't print anything.  It says the printer is busy and idle?  I updated the software and drivers.  All other computers and devices in my home connect just fine.  It is connected to our wireless router as is my laptop.
    I have searched online and done all the solutions I could find and nothing is working.  VERY frustrated as I have to log onto my Dell to print anything.
    Thanks in advance for any help!
    Kim

    "It says the printer is busy and idle?"
    System Preferences>print and Scan. What is the staus of the printer? Green light for idle or yellow light for in busy? Have you tried power down the printer and paowering it back up?

  • MacBook and Wireless Epson Printer won't connect anymore?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Lion OSX. I also have an Epson Stylus NX430. I had it connected to my laptop wirelessly and it worked fine. I went home for spring break and when I came back, I tried printing something, and my computer said that my printer was not connected. I checked the wireless settings on the printer and they were all correct. I checked my wifi settings on my computer and they were also correct. I couldn't get it to work so I unistalled the printer from the computer and tried reinstalling it. When I went to add wireless printers, my computer still didn't recognize the printer. Now I have to use a USB cable to print. How to I get my computer to recognize my wireless printer again?

    Forgetting the Network didn't work.  It's dong the same thing.
    So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
    Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
    Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?
