Hp office jet 6700 (Mac)-wireless connection keeps failing...

Hi-I am hoping that someone has a solution for this. We have an HP Officejet 6700 that has worked flawlessly till last week. The wireless signal keeps dropping. I think that is the issue because if I go into Setup on the printer itself and go to Network and start all over with finding my router, it works fine. For one print job. Then if I have something something else to print I have to go through that whole setup routine again. 
If I just go to Print it says locating printer and then it says that the printer is not connected. What is going on?? Very frustrated. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver (I downloaded the driver from the HP website). That didn't fix it. I saw that there was a firmware update but couldn't install it even though I plugged my laptop into the printer with a USB cord. 
Something is going on that I don't have a clue in how to fix it. I really appreciate any help. Thank you, Judy

  • My wireless connection keeps failing.

    My wireless connection keeps failing.  I turn off the wireless and it resets and works however it is temporary.  Any suggestions.  I bought my Airport Extreme 11/2012

    Hey there Chrismcknz,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi connection from your Airport is dropping and when power cycled works for a very short period of time before stopping again. I would next try a hard reset, and test the issue. Then if needed reset it to factory default and test again. The following article explains what the resets do, and how to do them:
    Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
    Hard reset: Resets the base station back to an unconfigured state, but retains the last saved configuration and any profiles so you can restore your base station from previous settings.
    Factory default reset: The same as a hard reset but also removes any saved configurations or profiles.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Why does my wireless connection keep failing?

    Each time I boot up my MBP, the wireless connection does not work. I have to go through the self diagnostics after bootup and then it works fine. Anyone know why this is happening?

    figured it out...no issue after all

  • Branch Office DC Demand Dial VPN connection keeps failing

    here is me issue
    Our Branch Office DC is connected to Main Office DC with a Demand Dial Connection in RRAS Everything is connected fine for a little bit then its like the connection just gives out, it stays connected but i cannot ping the branch office DC with the local
    IP from the Main Office or access any network shares on it. When this happens i have to disconnect the server at the remote office and wait for it to reconnect im currently baffled as there are no Error LOGS to help me along and there doesnt seem to be anything
    that would be causing the issue for now until i get some answers as to what is going on i opened a command prompt on the DC here at the main office and i typed "ping 10.141.70.25 -t100" to monitor the connection more or less and when i see it timeout
    i reconnect it, i also have the networking tab open in task manager to monitor the LAN and RAS (Dial-In) Interface  the LAN doesnt seem too active but the RAS Interface does its got a constant network utilization of 0.28% and the Demand Dial interface
    on the remote office DC has a Utilization of 0.38% (Server Just disconnected as i was typing this and the utilization on the VPN connections on both servers went through the roof) heres the troubleshooting i have tried so far
    1. Rebooted both office DC`s at the same time
    2. Rebooted the branch office DC alone (this helped a little because the connection is staying active longer without fail)
    3. looked through all RRAS configuration on both servers to see if theres any mistakes by any other administrators (None Were Found)
    4. Used wireshark to see if there was anything interfering or that would cause this to happen (Nothing found)
    5. manually connected to the server in multiple ways like accessing network shares and remote management via MMC and manually making the servers replicate to see if any of that was causing issues and it wasnt
    My thoughts: im starting to think it may be a switch or something causing the connection issue at the branch office because the main office has all new routers and switches and just recently got a 100.00MBPS connection but nothing was affected for a good
    month so im not thinking it is the new connection or anything at the main office if theres something im overlooking here please let me know if some ipconfig /all results are needed i can provide them

    Gents,
    i have a new HP office jet 6700 premium all in one printer and i coneccted to the network via wireless and its works only for 2 minutes and after that its not working via wireless unless i disconnected and reconected again please advice.
    FYI it is working very good by USB, and im using Mac OS X 10.9.3 version

    Hi Kattoa,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    I'm sorry to hear your Officejet 6700  doesn't seem to be holding it's wireless connection but I'd be happy to help determine what the problem could be
    I think it would be best if you followed this Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection document as it should be able to help determine why the printer has to be reconnected so frequently.
    Let me know how that goes for you!!

  • My HP Office Jet 6700 Premium has suddenly stopped printing from my iPad

    I have a new HP Office Jet 6700 Premium
    It had been working just fine, wireless printing from my iPad.
    iPad shows a window that recognizes the printer, but it does not print.
    There is no error message.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The steps below typically resolve the issue you’re experiencing:
    1. Power off the printer.
    2. Completely power off the iOS devices (hold the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until a message appears asking you to "Slide to power off". Slide across that bar, and it should completely power off).
    3. Power the printer back on.
    4. Power the iOS devices back on.
    5. Try to print again.
    Those steps usually resolve the issue. If they do not, try this additional steps:
    6. Power cycle your router (usually done by unplugging the router’s power cord, waiting 20 seconds, and plugging it back in).
    7. Make sure that the iOS devices and the printer are all connected to the same network, then try to print.

  • How do I enable the e-cloud on my office jet 6700 and set up its email address

    I have a new iPad that I'm trying to enable to print. (I never had any trouble syncing my old one.) I have followed the instructions but it's still not working. It seems perhaps it's because the printer is not set up for Cloud? Yet, There is an icon on my office jet 6700 that indicates it is cloud capable.

    Hi @Mes17333
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I gather that you are trying to print from your new iPad to your Officejet 6700 printer. 
    I am presuming that the printer is connected to your wireless network as you indicated that you were able to print with your older iPad.  To use Apple’s AirPrint feature you only need to have the printer connected to your wireless network and that the router supports Bonjour communication.
    If you are using the HP ePrint Mobile app or the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app, then please click on either app’s name and it will bring up the appropriate FAQ document which will have the trouble shooting steps to get the iPad printing. 
    Please let me know how things turn out.

    I see that you are looking for some instructions on how to change the page order.
    I am attaching a screen shot that will show you where to go to make the changes.
    When you get the document ready that you want to print, click on File and then go to print and this window will pop up.
    Depending on the operating system on the Mac you are using, some minor differences may appear. 
    You can make the changes on the Page Order drop down arrow.

  • Ipad mini printing to Hp office jet pro 8500 wireless

    Any suggestions re printing from Ipad mini using HP office jet pro 8500 wireless which supposedely is Airprint compatible?Downloaded HP's Eprint but it was not able to ID printer. Thank you.

    If its AirPrint compatible you should not need an additional App. The App is onyl foir their wireless Printers which aren't Air Print compatible.
    Make sure the printer is connected to the same Wifi network as the iPad. Then tap on the "Send To" icon in any App that you wish to print. Then tap on the Print option. 
    From there it should Appear as a selectable Printer in the Printers button

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Chinadoll702 
    I read your post about the printing issues you've been experiencing on your Mac running 10.6 and your Officejet 6700. I have a few ideas in mind to get started and let me know the results and we will take it from there.
    Update the Firmware on the printer: Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates
    Power reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Make a few copies afterwards and tell me if the copies pause, cancel, do not work, etc.
    Try printing from Text Edit on your Mac as well, and get back to me with the results.
    Good luck

  • Dissatisfi​ed with HP Office jet 6700 Premium Printer

    I've had a HP Office Jet 6700 Premium Printer for 18 months and have encountered a failed printer head issue which essentially requires full replacement of the printer.  I've seen many other similar reports by others which clearly indicates this printer has a serious problem with the printer heads.  I'm getting ready to replace this printer, which is just 6 months out of warranty, and will seek another vendor to provide printing equipment.  Very disappointed in HP's printer product and will gladly provide input to help others avoid running into this problem.

    Please read this post then provide some details.   What operating system?  What are the error messages on the printer or computer screen?

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless carriage jam message.

    I have an HP Office Jet Pro 8500 Wireless.  It is on a home wireless network and I am using a new HP laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit).  I am getting a carriage jam message that I cannot get removed.  Leading up to this, my son did have a paper jam and probably didn't get all the paper removed the first time around.  But I have checked thoroughly with a flashlight and there is now no paper anywhere in the carriage.  I have followed the video online and still have the same message and I can tell that the carriage is not moving side to side.  It stays over on the right side.   When the video talks about manually moving the carriage, I can move it very easily manually after I wiggle it a little and move it to the right a little.  Then it will move back and forth easily by hand.  I have tried to see if something is blocking it, but can see nothing.  But then when I try to print a test page, no luck.  I have reset it according to the video with no results.  I cannot print a test page from the touchscreen or from my computer.
    I really like this printer and hope you can help me.

    I hope you are doing well and sorry lt learn that you are having this issue.
    If you still facing this issue I will do my best to help you

  • Can I use AirPrint on my ipad2 with an office jet pro 8000 wireless?

    I am currently using hp Eprint home and biz but can't print from pages
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi Unkljoey,
    Are you referring to web pages inside the HP Home & Biz app, or are you referring to the actual app Pages?
    Currently the Office Jet Pro 8000 Wireless does not support AirPrint or ePrint. The only way to print from the internet or selected saved files is to use the HP Home & Biz app. Here is a list of ePrint and AirPrint compatible printers.
    In order to print web pages with the app it is required that you register the app itself with your eprincenter.com account. You can do this by selecting ePrint in the top right corner on the app, and then choose register with ePrint.

    Hi mate
    I recommend checking the power saving settings in Win 7 power management.
    There you can change (disable) the power saving for WLan card.
    This helped in my case.
    Please also check this thread:

    As I said; power management setting is the key you should also update the WLan driver!
