HP ENVY 4500 Printer "Error. Cannot connect to Server"

Hey everybody,
I work in IT and have a client that recently purchased a HP Envy 4500 all-in-one. She called me to install it for her and I got it set up with no problems. After a few days she told me that her printer wouldn't scan. It was giving her this error message;
"Error. Cannot connect to Server. Check Server name and address."
She has this computer connected via USB and I have already reinstalled the driver and ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor with no success. I have tried a lot of other solutions that people have been posting with the same issue but none have worked. This has become a huge issue and I don't see HP trying to find a solution. If no soultion will fix this, then I will be returning this printer for her and getting something that works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
bbritt91

Hi bbritt91,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are getting a connection error message when trying to use the scan to email feature of your Envy 4500 printer.
To be able to use the scan to email feature the printer must be setup with web services which requires the printer to be connected to your wireless network with an active internet connection. I have included the Getting Started with ePrint document for reference.
If the printer has been setup with a wireless connection, please set a manual IP address and manual DNS server for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots, on how to do this. Please don’t worry that the screen shots are for a Photosmart 7510, the steps are the same.
Please let me know how it goes.
Regards,
Happytohelp01

Error cannot connect to server or DNS name when working with the SRDemo

I receive the error cannot connect to server or Dns name when trying to
display the SRlist.jspx page in the SRDemo. I am using the embedded OC4J server . I tried to using the debugger to trouble shoot the problem but I did not get any information that was useful. The url I am using is http://localhost:8989/SRDemo-UserInterface-context-root/faces/app/SRlist.jspx I also tried using the IP address that didn't work . I really need to get through this demo.

What about using:
http://127.0.0.1:8989/SRDemo-UserInterface-context-root/faces/app/SRlist.jspx
Or disabling any proxy settings your browser might have?

Safari and/or internet question:
I have MacDeskTop W/Intel/OS X Lion 10.8.2   and Safari:Ver6.0.2(8536.26.17)
Currently I am having a big issue to access within this website's the "SHOP section(tab)" I ca click on the tabs and read the info in each section, except for the "Shop" Tab.
While in the process of paying for my items in my cart, I received a website message saying something
To the affect that this website is being updated. Your items in your cart will be in your cart.
Then the website's screen kicked me out the door.
A few days later I accessed the main page of this website with no problem.
I can read the information on the main web page pertaining to items I need to purchase, etc., with no problems.
I click and maneuver from on one tab to another from the main page within this website with no issues.
When I click on the "SHOP section(tab)" within this website to complete my purchase.
Part of this website an error occurs on this "SHOP tab".
"Safari can't connect to the server".
Safari can't open the page "https://and the name of this website" because Safari can't connect to the server "www.the name of this website".
I click on the reload from the view of the toolbar and I can't access this website's"Shop section(tab) at all.
I e-mailed the webmaster of this website a few times, but no response.
In the past I was able to access the "Shop section(tab") within this website many times to purchase items with no issues.
Now I am at my wits end as I really need to complete my purchase from this website.
I cannot purchase these items from other websites. Only this website.
So, I really need anyone's tech expertise to help me access the "SHOP" tab within this website.
I also have another website that i have visited numerous times within the last 6 months with no issues.
Now I can't access this website at all.

Hi There Linc Davis,
Wow, you are the best.
Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
Please Linc Davis

I had Peerguaurdian installed, I removed an entry related to Peerguardian from LaunchDaemons and/or Startup Items and/or PreferencePanes under Library, instructions below:
- Finder > Devices > (Username) > Hard Drive > Library folder
- Go to each of the folders "LaunchDaemons", "StartupItems", and "PreferencePanes", expand each folder using arrow to the left of folders
- look for unusual application titles (in my case it was *peerguardian*)
- dual finger click on line item, menu will appear.
- select "Move to Trash"
- reboot Mac
Hope this helps.

PI 7.11: Cannot connect to server using message server:...

Hello Guys,
we make the Application Management for a Customer PI System.
Scenario:
- the SAP Gui Connection to the ABAP Stack is routed via SAPRouter and Works fine.
SAP Gui -> our SAP Router -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> ABAP Stack PI System
- WebAccess its working fine, the Customer use Webdispatcher on every PI Server...
Browser -> VPN Box from Customer -> Firewall Customer -> Java Stack (Port: 5xx00 btw. 81xx (Webdispatcher))
Problem:
Our Problem ist, we can not proceed the Integration Builder or the ESB, the Java Web Start works fine and open the Logon Screen Correctly -> but i fill the Logon Screen with my User name and Password and press Logon come the follwing Error:
"Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://<hostname>.<domain>:8134/P4"
In the Details from the Error Message:
"<hostname>.<domain>:53404 Reason: com.sap.engine.services.rmi_p4.P4IOException:
Cannot open connection to host: <IP-Adress of Central Instance> and Port: 53404"
The Customer says, the Firewall is open with the IP Adresses and P4 Port but i dont think so...
Can everybody help me, or have tips for me! I have checked a lot of OSS Messages (PI High Availabilty etc... its all correct on the System)
Sorry for my bad English
Best Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
did you check if the browser is using a proxy? (In this case your scenario unfortunately won't work).
P4-port should generally be routed via a proxy (described in the help.sap.com), but within the PI-Tools(JNLP) the proxy-usage is not implemented. There is even a SAP-note that describes how to check the JavaWebStart-Proxyconfiguration, but this won't help either.
If there is a proxy defined in the browser everything is working fine till you pass the logon-screen but even with the correct "javaws"-settings you won't be able to go on.
(This problem is pretty bad if you do have developers and the SAP-servers seperated because of security issues. I'm hoping that this malfunction will be solved with upcoming patches.)
Solution: Establish a connection without any proxy in between.
E.g.: a terminal server in the same network
It would be helpful to find more people with the same problem to force a fix from SAP for that.
If anyone else is having problems with this, please add a comment to this thread.
Best regards
Christian

Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://xiidhasoft:50004/P4

Hi SAP Guru's
When PISUPER or any any of the enduser is trying to login in the Integration Builder , they are getting error
Cannot connect to server using message server: ms://xiidhasoft:50004/P4
I have tryed to search in SDN and got below solution but no success
1. Exchange Profile of PI - http://host:port/exchangeProfile
2. Check with the rmi port number.
3. if rmi port number is empty or any number is present ( check with Tr code: SMICM - services - check for p4 port number - it will be ex: 5<nr>04)
4. fill the rmi port number as present in the P4.
OR
implement note 864268
I have Netweaver PI 7.1 .
Please suggest some alternative solution.
Thanks & Regards
Vinay Patel

You may check your local PC Java Network Setting.
Troubleshooting:
Probably Javau2122 WebStart does not detect the correct Proxy Settings. In this case please proceed as follows:
To change the Proxy Settings for Javau2122 Web Start:
1. Click Start --> Run and enter javaws. Press button OK.
2. Control Panel -> Programs ->Java -> Network Settings...
3. Select Direct Connection to switch off the proxy settings and press button OK.
If this still does not work, select Use proxy server to set manually the HTTP Proxy and Port.
Contact your network administrator for the correct settings.

My toshiba laptop won't connect to my HP Envy 4500 printer

I have recently attempted connecting my Toshiba laptop, which runs Windows 8, wirelessly to my HP Envy 4500 printer. I'm trying to scan something onto my laptop, which I have done with the printer before. I have the remote app, and I have connected to the printer's wireless network that pops up in the wifi section of my computer. However, when attempting to get the printer to scan, using the option on the printer's screen, it said that no device was connected, and to make sure the software was installed and that scan to pc was enabled. I opened the app on my laptop, hoping to get better results using it that was, but it told me that the printer was offline, though it was clearly on. I am not entirely sure why the printer is not recognizing my laptop, even though my laptop recognizes it. I spent nearly two hours disconnecting and reconnecting, as well as turning the printer off about three times. I am about to uninstall the app and try reinstalling it, but I am doubting the results will be any better.
I see no other way to fix this problem, as there is no USB port in which to connect a USB cable, like myprevious printer, and am wondering if it is my latop, not the printer, that is faulty. It works for printing when it comes to the other devices in my household, but I have had problems even printing with my Toshiba before. I have only attempted scanning with one other device: a HP Pavillion Media Center TV PC desktop. I am starting to think that the scanner is defaulting to only reognizing other HP products, and request any and all advice in fixing this issue.
This question was solved.

Hi AMakkei,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 4500 to your Windows 8 laptop, and I am happy to help you with this connection issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know following information:
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try going through this guide. A 'Computer Not Found' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you, and have a good day!

Hello youssi,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan to email you're receiving a message stating cannot connect to server. I will do my best to assist you! Please follow this entire HP document on How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder) just to make sure everything is correct.
If this doesn't work, then please follow these steps to try setting an alternative DNS to see if that resolves the issue:
•    Open the Embedded Web Sever on your computer.
•   Click the Network tab.
•   Under Wireless click on IPv4.
•   Under DNS Address Configuration select Manual.
•   Set the Preferred address as 8.8.8.8
•   Set the Alternate address as 8.8.4.4
•   Click Apply twice to confirm the change.
•   Turn the printer Off and back On and see if the issue is resolved.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

HP Envy 4500 printing issue

I am unable to print to my HP ENVY 4500 with a wireless connection. I have had it set up and working since Christmas, it says it is connected to my home network with excellent signal strenght and both laptop and desktop recognize it. Jobs go to the printer que but the I get and error printer offline message. I have ran the HP scan doctor program that came with the printer and it keeps sending me to wireless set up page.
**Intersting note is when I select the printer from my desktop control panel ( there is a green check mark and it says it is ready) and look at properties there is no IP address under the location setting.

Scan to Email Error Message "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.
I've been using this printer for several months. Now am getting an ERROR message when I try to scan to email that it "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"
I'm not sure how to check this. We can all still print remotely via the internet connection.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for the info.,
Did you recently change your operating system or network router that started to cause this error?

My ENVY 4500 Printer keeps disconnecting (not WiFi)

My ENVY 4500 Printer keeps disconnecting sporatically. One minute I can print just fine, the next the printer can't be reached. The printer status shows "The printer is not connected."
This keeps happening from all the devices, not just my iMAC. I tried from my PC Laptop, from my iPad, iPhone. Same story. When it goes off, it goes off for all devices. I tried reinstalling the printer, tried restarting it, unplugging it. Nothing seems to fix it.
If I print the report right from the printer durring this time, it says everything is connected and no problems found (see image attached).
Then after a while, like an hour or two later, all of a sudden the printer will spit out all the prints that were sitting in the queue.
I have contacted the support and they logged into the printer and reset some settings and it started working, then about a week later it did it again. It continues to do this maybe once a week or so.
I don't know what to do any more. Anybody have any ideas?
This question was solved.

New Envy 4500 prints SO SLOW!

I just installed my new HP Envy 4500 printer and I have to say, the printing speeds are gawd awful! I tried priting a photo on plain paper from Photoshop and it took almost 8 minutes for one full page. Priting PayPal shipping labels (which are half pages) of just black print and a barcode take a full minute when set to fast/economy speed with plain paper. I have tried priting in just black ink and greyscale and they are all slow. Full color of course is much worse. I have only had this printer a week and it is just painful to print and I am really regretting buying it.

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that your HP Envy 4500 is printing slow on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this for you! Some questions for you: How is your printer connected? Wireless or USB?What happens when you make a copy from the scanner glass? Does it also print slow? Copying Documents. In the meantime, please try the steps in this guide, 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7, and let me know what happens! (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.) Thank you for posting! “Please click the Thumbs up icon below to thank me for responding.”
