HP LaserJet P1505n, connected by Ethernet cable, does not get IP address so I can't get to web admin

Hello and thanks in advance,
I've read as many threads as possible and done everything I could to get my HP P1505n working again but can't and need some new advice.
I've had this printer for a couple of years and it worked well and always connected. I had it plugged into a router (at one point linksys, then a dlink) and had given it a static ip address that it always printed to. 
Recently, I got a Cisco modem/router from my internet service provider, I plugged in the printer's ethernet cable to it, and suddenly I couldn't print to it anymore. I couldn't access it's webadmin console and couldn't change any settings. I went through various troubleshooting steps and ultimately did a hard reset. 
I left it alone for a week (thankfully I have another printer) but am trying again to get it up and running. Right now it has switched to AutoIP but it doesn't get in IP address. It only shows 169.254.241.24. I even tried to connect directly to it via ethernet and change my computer's ip to 169.254.241.23 with the same subnet mask and it won't connect to it - I can't get to the webadmin to manually assign it an IP like 192.168.0.111
Right at this moment actually I cannot even get a configuration page to print and the amber light above the green ethernet light flashes on for a second or two and then off for a few seconds and that cycle continues. 
What can I do to get this working again aside from plugging in a usb cable and forgetting about network printing (the reason I bought it in the first place)?
Thanks in advance

Hi gr---8 ,
Sorry to hear you are still having issues setting up the printer on the wired network.
We will need to find out if it is the Ethernet port on the printer, or the network causing this issue.
Do you have Mac filtering on the router?
Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
Restore the printer back to factory settings.
Print a hardware test page to test the printer's hardware. Make sure the SSID and IP address is cleared from your router's setttings. Printing a Configuration Page in Windows.
Connect the Ethernet cable directly to the computer.
Print the configuration page again to see if you get a IP address to test the Ethernet port on the printer.
What is the IP address?
Run the add printer wizard to install the printer.
Test the printer.
Were you able to see the printer, add the printer and print?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Please provide in detail the results.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • HP LaserJet P1505n, connected by Ethernet cable, suddenly cannot get an IP address by DHCP.

    My HP LaserJet P1505n, connected by Ethertnet to my LAN, has been working flawlessly for three years.  The last time I turned it on, it could not get an IP address by DHCP.  I verified this by printing a self test page.  The IP adress is 0.0.0.0.  I looked at the self test page from three years ago and saw that the IP address was 192.168.0.100.
    No recent changes have been made to my network.  I verified that the Ethernet cable and connection to my router were fine by  switching Ethernet cables with a laptop.  The laptop worked with both cables and connections while the printer failed to work with either configuration.
    Any suggestions (besides trying to deal with HP support - a disaster) would be greatly appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    What operating system do your computers use?  This would be helpful to know if any steps needed to be performed from a computer.
    When the Ethernet cable is connected to the router and the printer, do the network lights on both devices indicate a connection?  If there is no connection detected, the lights (green and amber in most cases) on the Ethernet port on both ends will not be on.
    What brand/model of router is being used?
    When you swapped the cables, did you also change the ports they were connected to on the router?  If not, try connecting the printer to a different port on the router.  Did anything change?  
    EDIT:
    Try disconnecting the power from the printer for one minute and then reconnect the power and turn it on (if it has not turned on automatically).  Was there a change?  This is known as a hard reset and it reinitializes the hardware and software in the printer which also forces it to try and establish a network connection again.

  • Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    Every time I open Safari, I get a message (and a pop-up) that says the Safari browser I'm using does not support Community Toolbar. How can I get rid of the Community Toolbar or at least turn it off?

    That toolbar/ct plugin seems to cause problems for all who install it!
    Close Safari, then locate and delete the following files and it should be gone:
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    Note: Safari does not support any third-party toolbars except those supplied as an extension to Safari via the Extension Gallery.

  • I restored my i pad and not am locked out because it does not recognize my passcode? How can I get in

    I had to restore my I pad because my facetime was not working. Now it updated and I put in a passcode and my I pad does not recognize the passcode and I cannot get in I am locked out?

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

  • Acrobat Pro 7.0 does not install on Windows 7, how can I get a version that does?

    I recently downloaded and tried installing the non-activation version of Adobe Acrobat Pro 7.0 on my Windows 7 PC.  After researching the installation error I read some posts that Acrobat 7.0 does not install on Windows 7.  What are my options?

    AA 7 will install, but it will not run very cleanly. A lot of things require workarounds. However, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to AA XI for use on Win7 or Win8. AA 7 is not fully compatible and playing with workarounds is not a great use model. Looks like the price just came down also. You will have to purchase the full version. The upgrade version requires at least AA 9.

  • My iphone  3gs does not have a wifi button how can i get one

    as my tittle states i dont have a wifi button can i get one ?

    First things first: you bought this iPhone second-hand from someone you know. That person must have used his iTunes account to activate the phone. Have you tried connecting your iPhone to your computer (Mac or PC, doesn't matter) via USB and have it recognized by iTunes on your computer? If not, you'll have to activate the iPhone first. iTunes will do that for you, provided the former user has notified Apple he has sold his iPhone to you. Then, there's the question of your mobile phone provider: iPhones are network-locked. You can't buy an iPhone from someone who's, say, an Orange customer, then use it on another network than Orange's (in the US, of course, that point is moot). Only way to unlock your phone is to jailbreak it, but it's risky, and frankly, I don't think you'll find a lot of info on this forum on the subject... First off, check on which operator network you friend was.

  • Removal does not work from task bar, how can I get it to work?

    I have the latest version of firefox. clicking on the star and then remove does nothing.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • After recent updates my macbookpro builtin camera does not work on Firefox. How can I get it to work again?

    camera worked the day before - updates loaded Saturday evening. Sunday morning the camera doesn't work through Firefox. It works on other applications (iChat, Photobooth, etc) but not through Firefox.

    It works in FF4.0.1! "Right-click on a toolbar then choose "Customize". Look for the ruler icon in the popup that appears and drag it where ever you'd like it to appear. I put mine back at the top of my dev tool bar. Handy Little Tool!

  • HT5395 my mac does not have the iMessage app how can i get it?

    I have a Mac laptop with the OS X. My friends with macs are able to sync their iMessages to their laptop and temporarily communicate through their computers instead of their phones. I cannot find this on my computer. How can I set it up?

    Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download Mavericks from the Mac App Store. If you get told that it's incompatible with the computer, you can't.

  • After turning MacBook on, the colorful pinwheel does not stop spinning. So, I can't get into any of my Apps. I have no control. Is there a combination of keys that will give me control?

    Is there a combination of keys that gives you some control of keyboard or Apps?  Opened laptop and it won't stop "thinking" and allow me to open or do anything!

    You are welcome, and thank you for the courtesy of awarding the "solved" for this thread. It is not mandatory but it is certainly appreciated.
    In case you are wondering, Safe Mode forces a file system check (among other things) and if it finds any issues it repairs them. Most likely that is what was causing your issue.
