HP Deskjet 460 wireless printer connection problem

I just replaced my Airport Extreme (pre-n) with a Time Capsule. My HP Deskjet 460 WiFi printer no longer connects through wireless. However, configuring the Time Capsule wireless mode to "802.11g/b only" (i.e. no 802.11n) resolves the connection problem.
Any suggestion on how to get the printer to connect with 802.11n enabled?
Thanks in advance,
- gael

I also have an HP 460wbt and have similarly replaced my old airport base station with the TC. Without any wireless security the printer connected fine - but couldn't get connection using WPA or WEP. I've tried every combination I can - but have gone back to reconnecting the airport base station alongside the TC with bridging to the ADSL netgear modem I use. This seems a bit like overkill but I just can't get the WPA on the printer to work with the WPA personal options of the TC. Have you any ideas on this one?

Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

Hey Guys!
I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
Can you help me? Please?!
Thanks Folks!

This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print. What is AirPrint & how do I connect to it?

Patti-
Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers? See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint. Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue. Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

Wireless printer connection

I lost my wireless printer connection. It keeps telling me the printer is "offline" What do I do?

WHAT TYPE OF PRINTER DO YOU HAVE????
Try doing the "wireless setup wizard"
-this usually found in the SETUP menu> wirless(network)> Wireless

Can you print from an iPad to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule

I just purchase an iPad. Can I print to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule? If yes, what app do I need for the iPad?

You might want to take a look at Print Central or Printopia.
PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I can verify that Printopia works just fine for me on my iPad, but haven't tried Print Central.

I have an airport extreme with a HP Folio laptop and cannon pixma MX882 printer. when i am VPN'd in thru Cisco vpn and try to print the wireless print connection stops. i Un-VPN and it prints. then i have to go back into VPN to continue?how do i configure

i have an Airport Extreme wireless router, HP Folio laptop (company supplied) and a Canon PIXMA MX882 wireless printer,copier, scanner and fax.
when i am VPN's in thru CISCO VPN to my company Intranet site I cannot print wirelessly. i have to turn off VPN, priint and log back into the company intranet site. is there a way to configure the router so that it is not blocking the signal?

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Trying to install Deskjet 3054A wireless printing with brand new Mac Book Pro

Hello,
I am trying to set up the wireless printing function on the Deskjet 3054A with a new Mac Book Pro, but not having any luck. When I connect via the USB the printer shows up, but once disconnected there is no communication. I tried to get the updated driver on the HP site, but nothing ever downloaded and it kept taking me to the setup page.
Is this All-In-One compatible with the new Mac OS 10.10 for wireless printing?
Thank
Scott

Hello Sabuff,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some connectivity issues to you Mac 10.10.
Just so you are aware, the printer does not have a full feature software and driver package available for the Mac 10.10 operating system.
You can however try the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
Please feel free to write me back with any other questions or concerns.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer connectivity problems

My HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer is not connecting properly wirelessly.

Please advise. Thank you

My printer will not print . having connectivity problems.

Lion OS x network/printer connection problem.

I am trying to connect a Macbook Pro, Lion OS x to a Canon MP530 printer on a wireless network. I already have another Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard OS x) set up to this wireless printer/network, and it works just fine. When I try to connect the Macbook Lion OS x, I get error messages stating "An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. Unable to communicate with the printer at this time." I thought it was a printer driver problem, so I downloaded the correct updated driver for the Canon MP530 from both the Apple and Canon websites to the Macbook Lion OS x. When I try to setup the Macbook Lion OS x on the printer/network again, the Macbook Lion OS x acts like it doesn't see it the updated driver when it gives the message stated above about "an error occurred........"
On the bright side, I am able to connect the Macbook Lion OS x to the wireless printer network via the Snow Leopard OS x by print file sharing just fine. The problem with this is that the Snow Leopard OS x Macbook has to be on. If this computer is not on, than the Lion Macbook will not be able to print.
Connecting the Macbook Lion OS x directly to the printer also works.
The Macbook Lion OS x on the network does not appear to "see" the updated Canon MP530 drivers. For some reason, the Macbook Lion will not communicate with the network printer, without going through the other laptop. Is the Canon MP530 compatible with the Lion OS x operating system on a wireless network at all?
Is there a way to connect the Macbook Lion OS x to my network directly without having to go through the Snow Leopard OS x Macbook?
Resetting the printing system doesn't work either.

Understood. But I meant are you still able to install this Canon driver. With you trashing the BJPrinters folder previously, there should have been no Canon driver files on this Mac. And given that you have had no luck installing the Gutenprint driver I was wondering if you also had the same problem with installing the Canon driver. I am guessing that you were at least able to install the Canon driver, even though it won't let you print.
So with you not able to install the Gutenprint driver suite I would say that you have the following options.
1. Continue printing via the Snow Leopard share. Not ideal but the cheapest solution at this stage.
2. Download and install PrintFab (www.printfab.net). This also supports Canon printers but it costs 49 euro. But there is a 30 day trial so you could see if this will install and let you add the networked printer.
3. Replace the 3rd party print server with an Airport Express. The Airport USB port will allow you to use the Canon supplied driver.
4. Replace the MP530 with a new printer that has built-in wireless.

WRT110 wireless printer connection to Brother HL-2170W wireless printer

New here and I have a question.
I have Linksys WRT110 wireless router that works great. I have 7 notebooks working very well. Assignment were done with WEP connection and made sure that all the MAC addresses are registered and limits that router to recognize only computers with such MAC addresses... no problems at al here.
Recently I bought Brother HL-2170W wireless printer... followed all the instructions in their manual, registered its MAC address in my router, provided WEP key to the printer (via their web browser utility)... and this is where the brain fart started...
I can ping to my router just fine... I can ping the printer from the router just fine... however, I can not get the printer to work with any of my notebooks... It works fine if I connect it via USB or Ethernet connections, but nothing on the wireless side..
I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100... and this is where it falls apart...
Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong or better yet, what step am I missing?
Thank you in advance!

You said "I know the IP address that this printer was assigned via DHCP... When I programmed the printer with the correct IP address, it also points to port number 9100...".
When you programmed the printer, do you mean that you entered the DHCP assigned address directly into the printer, so the printer could use it as a fixed (static) LAN IP address? If so, this might be the cause for your problem. When you manually assign an IP address to a printer (or other network device), by entering that address directly into the printer, then you must use an IP address that is outside the DHCP server range. See "Using Static LAN IP addresses" below, for more info on this topic.
Additionally, to get your printer to work, you must install the network printer drivers on each computer that will use that printer.
Additionally, for WEP, you must enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your printer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
***** Using Static LAN IP addresses *****
Linksys has several rules for using fixed (static) LAN IP addresses. You must follow these rules carefully.
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.

IMAC Wireless Internet Connection Problems All Of A Sudden

My Imac is well over a year and a bit old and has been able to connect to my wireless internet connection absolutely fine until the past week and a half. At first the connection wouldn't work and when I would turn my airport on and off and reset the router, it would eventually work, now that is not working at all. My airport status is either showing 'airport is turned on but is not connected to a network' or 'airport has a self-assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet'
I have formatted my imac twice and still no avail and the last format I tried to join wirelessly straight from boot but it wouldn't join saying 'there is a problem with the wireless connection and you're not connected to the internet.' the annoying thing is I can see the network sitting there and can't join it, my network is also unsecure so no need to input a password. All my home PC's and my Iphone and Blackberry find the network easily enough, although recently the Iphone has began showing only 1 bar of wifi connection.
I am at my wits end as I am unable to connect at all now, I am all out of ideas and have been bashing my head off a wall for the past day without any connection at all.
My router is a buffalo AirStation wireless G high power model, my IMAC is an intel core 2 duo 20", if you need anymore information of my hardware I will gladly provide it. I'm running MAC OSX Leopard 10.5, out the box as I've been unable to run any software updates as I can't connect to the internet.
Please, if anyone can shed any light at all on this issue I would definately try anything.
Thanks in advance and regards.

Anytime you see a self-assigned IP address in your network prefs you know it surely is a problem
with your router configuration. Power down all equip ... make sure modem is off for at least 5 minutes
restart modem, restart iMac ... check your network pref on iMac and make sure it's not 169.x.x.x
If so you will need to recapture the settings from your ISP's modem to the Buffalo.
Always use a secure wireless connection (WEP, WPA, WPA2) or else the whole neighborhood will suck down your bandwidth the slow down what your paying for. I use Time Capsules or AEBS (Airport Extreme Base Stations) that allow you to stealth mode and lower signal output and make the device
as a "closed network" ... meaning no one else can see and tap into your WIFI home network!
802.11N is better than G. and especially when you can use dual bands 2.4 / 5GHz to stop various home interferences. The backup of Time Machine only makes life much easier also! Xtech

2504 controller + 2602 APs = wireless clients connectivity problems

Hello, everybody!
I have a connectivity problems of wireless clients. The symptoms are:
1) Some clients receive 169.254.x.x., instead a correct DHCP addresses, less in a minute connection drops, and in controller's "Monitor" > "Clients" tab these clients are marked as "Excluded".
2) Most of the clients receive the correct addresses from DHCP (192.168.2.x), but also loose connection soon.
3) Wireless clients with correct addresses can't ping each other, gateway and an address of the controller's dynamic interface (all of them are in same subnet).
4) And the most suspicious problem is that some machines are unable to connect to APs after several attemps to do that. I mean, I configure controller and change some options, trying to understand, whether they were applied or not and constantly connect and disconnet certain PC to the SSID. After five or ten attempts I can't connect to the SSID. During these attempts, the others PCs stay connected, without interruptions, and they could be reconnected again. It's like some kind of port security works, but I'm not sure...
Do you have any ideas which options should I configure?
My configuration:
I have three interfaces on the controller: virtual, management (default) and dynamic (it is set to the WLAN)
I have one SSID, WPA/WPA2, AES/TKIP, authentication PSK.
My clients are a/b/g/n, all are permitted on the controller. No custom security policies were applied.
All the devices are in a single room: controller, one AP and different clients: desktop, notebooks, iPad, Nokia Lumia, etc.
I have an internal DHCP Server on the controller and it works perfectly well.
I can provide all the screenshots required from web-interface of the controller...
Many thanks in advance for all ideas that you have about these problems...

Hi, there!
The problem was solved.
1) APIPA address receives only single machine with Win8 - I think there are some firewall issues
2) Other devices have been loosing connection because they were mobile devices, like iPad and Lumia. If you keep working with it, it doesn't drop the connection
3) The dynamic interface address and gateway address were inaccessible because i had not used an appropriate port on the controller. =)))) Firstly, it was just a guess, but it proved.
Now, everything works with WPA2, AES, PSK...
It is a very good day!)
The only question remains: why I can't connect machines, which have a static IP? During the controller initialization, I said "yes" for permitting static IPs...
Guys, many thanks for your help!

HHow to connect iPad to wireless printer?

First off, the printer needs to be AirPrint capable, and then connected to the same wi-fi network as the iPad. If it is not AirPrint capable, then there may be an app that supports that brand of the printer in the App Store that might allow the device to work. About AirPrint - Apple Support

WRT54G Wireless Router connection problem

I recently connected a Linksys WRT54G to one notebook computer, with a wired connection. This computer uses the Vista Home Basic operating system. I have another computer using Windows XP Home which I connect to the Internet through this Notebook through my wireless router. However since replacing my D-Link 11 mbps router with the Linksys Router, My second computer does not locate my new connection. I suspect that it has something to do with the settings on the second computer, but can't figure out how to resolve this problem. Hopefully some of you experts out there can tell me how to deal with this.

Click on the Start button >>> go to RUN>> type in "services.msc" >>
click on OK- On the Services Local page double click on the
option "Wireless Zero configuration"- Here the Startup Type should
be "Automatic"- Click on the "Start" button and "Apply" the settings

HP Deskjet 6980 Wireless Printing in Windows 7

I purchased an HP 6980 Deskjet new some time ago but had never been able to get the wireless functionality working.
I've sinced upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (32bit.) What are the specific steps I need to take to be able to set this printer up for wireless printing? Although the blue light is on the front of my printer, I am sure it has no IP address since when I print a report page the IP Address is not listed; neither is the device MAC address.
I've confirmed HP has not written a full set of software drivers for Win 7. Instead I'm told I have to use built in drivers provided by Win 7. Please advise. Thanks.

First, reset the printer:
1. Verify that the printer is powered on.
2. Press and hold down the Report Page button.
3. While holding down the Report Page button, press the Cancel button three times.
4. Release the Report Page button.
Now, follow these directions.
