Hp officejet 4680 is not recognized by either wireless or usb connection. Windows 7 OS.

This printer used to work wirelessly to my Windows Vista Laptop, then I bought a new HP tower computer and now the printer is not recognized by anything, new or old. New computer is an HP Pavilion Elite HPE running Win 7, old computer is a Sony laptop running Vista. I've tried turning on and off everything several times, unistalling and reinstalling all softwware several times, and running the HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility (both basic and advanced tools) several times. I have a Netgear 2.4GHz wireless network router -- Security type WPA2, Encyption type AES and a functioning Netwrok securty key that is not recognized by the wireless network setting on by the wirelsss netwrok wizard on the printer tools application. I don't remember running the network wizard to enable the printer when I was only using the laptop.
Any help wopuld be most grateful.
Thanks.

I just fixed my J4680 printer a couple of minutes ago (see my post).
Step 1: Unplug your printer
Step 2: Uninstall the program J4680 and ALL associated HP programs (IRIS, Websmart, etc.). There is a screen to select ALL programs.
Step 3: Reboot your PC to complete the uninstallation
Step 4: Plug in your printer
Step 5: Download the FULL j4680 package from HP's support website:
Step 6: Run the Installation. The first screen will ask if you want a Wireless connection so click on that. It connected my printer automatically.
That's it. My printer is printing and scanning great.

Officejet 7000 network not recognized. Lights blink at printer connection and then go out

I plug in the network cable and the lights blink and then go out. The connection to the router is not established

Ok,
First, unplug both the printer and the router power for 30 seconds and check for any change,
if the same persists, try plugging the ethernet cable from your printer to your PC and check if the same behavior occours.
If so, than it seems like the printer eternet card is damaged, which will require service
If it is connecting with your PC, so the issue may be related with your router,

Officejet pro 8000 not recognizing brand new HP black ink cartridge

Hi. My officejet pro 8000 is not recognizing a brand new HP brand black ink cartridge. The black ink indicator remains lit and it will not print. I have unplugged the printer, but this did nothing. It is wierd, when I open the door where the cartridges are, the light goes out, it only goes on again when I close that door. The printer was working perfectly until this . Any helpful hints? Thanks so much.

Hello chx2,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Officejet 8600 is not recognizing your brand new black ink cartridge. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall. I just want to see if this makes a difference.
Next, please follow these steps in order:
1) Remove all ink cartridges from the printer, then close the door
2) Remove the power cord from the printer (Do not press the power button)
3) Please clean the ink cartridges by following this HP document here. (Also, make sure you have completed all the steps from this document)
4) Wait 60 seconds or more, then plug the power cord back in

"USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices has malfunctioned..."

I'm running Windows XP with external hard drive. When hard drive is connected, iPod will not sync and I get message stating "USB Device Not Recognized. One of the USB devices has malfunctioned..."
When disconnect the external drive, he iPod appears in My Computer. However, iTunes is on external drive; therefore music is not syncing onto iPod. I've attempted the 5 R's as well as searching for iPod in Device Mananger. When iPod is conncected, it is listed in Devce Manage as "Unknown Device."
I've changed drive letters on boh iPod and external drive and get the same message. Please help.

QRe: Zen MX Causes "USB Hardware has Malfunctioned" Msg from Windows XpyUhh, Yes.
I used to same cable to attach my Motorola Razr and the computer correctly found it and identified it as such.
I also tried another cable (brand new) same thing.
I went to recovery mode and did a "CLEAN UP" but no dice.
I also got my I.S. tech guy to look into it and on the USB page it say "UNKNOWN DEVICE"? when he tried to delete it it did not help, it just reappears as "UDVC"? Also in looking into it it seems to have no drivers.
He came to this site and tried to do somethinm through here but it did'nt work.
Now in listening to it last night it began to 'skip' or what I call 'HICCUP" terribly. Where a song starts and stops, during the middle of it. ? It's always done it a little but it has been getting more and more common and now? It's WAY worse about it.
It has never been dropped, or nishandled in any way. I bought the clear hard case to protect it. And only has about 300 songs on it. Never used for anything else. No vids no pics, nothing.

Windows 7 not recognizing device - Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card

Windows 7 is not recognizing my Dell Wireless 5620 EVDO HSPA Mobile Broadband Mini Card (Qualcomm Gobi 2000). I can't even uninstall the driver, it says that I don't have "sufficient permission" to stop device or something to that effect
(though I'm an administrator). I also can't re-install the same or different driver. I might have installed the wrong driver, though this is supposed to be the correct one according to Dell after typing in my service tag. I went to the FTP
to get one specifically for "Verizon Wireless", but I can't uninstall the prior driver.
How can I fix these issues? Thanks.

Hi,
Any update?
Have you tried safe mode mentioned in the first reply? What is the status of the driver in device manager? For "Verizon Wireless", have you installed any verizon software or related verizon device? Uninstall this kind software, then uninstll driver again
as a test.
Contact this support, maybe they can give some different ideas.

Shuffle is not recognized thru 2013 Santa Fe usb port. Any suggestions?

Shuffle is not recognized thru 2013 Santa Fe usb port. Any suggestions?

You should consult the documentation or tech support for the car audio system, to see if a shuffle is supported as a device connected to the USB port. Also, there may be a setting on the car audio system, where you tell it that you are connecting an iPod to the USB port, and not something generic like a USB flash drive with song files.
When you connect an iPod to a USB port on a car audio system, it is just acting as a storage device. The car audio system is reading song files off the iPod and doing all the playing. Therefore, you may want to use a cheap USB flash drive with song files for this purpose, instead of an iPod. Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/SanDisk/SDCZ33008G/
and has four times more storage compared to a 2GB shuffle. You can also leave it connected to the car audio system, except when you want to update its songs, instead of having to constantly connect and remove an iPod. If you forget your iPod in your car, extreme heat or cold can cause damage.

Droid charge SIM CARD not recognized by Verizon Wireless.

every time when i login to pay my bill this comes up first
Your SIM card is in a device that is not recognized by Verizon Wireless. Some services & features may not perform as expected.
and the phones are two months old

Dear zajche,
You are using the "My Verizon" app to try to pay your bill, correct? Once you tap the My Verizon icon, how far do you get before you see this message?
What steps if any have you taken to try to correct or diagnose the problem? Have you removed and reinstalled the SIM card? Did you do a soft reset? Hard reset?
Please provide this and any other information you can think of, so that perhaps someone on this forum can help. Thanks!

HP Officejet Pro L7580 not recognized and unable to install

Hello everyone,
We purchased a MacBook Pro and for sometime we had it connected to our HP Officejet Pro L7580 using its usb connection. This MacBook Pro is running Mountain Lion software with the current printer update. We moved and relocated our printer to a more suitable room. In our house we have two routers. Our main router is Actiontec MI424-WR and the secondary router is Dlink DIR 655. The Dlink is connected lan-to-lan with Actiontec. The printer is connected to Dlink router which is downstairs. I have spent considerable amount of time figuring out why our MacBook Pro doesn't recognize this printer. We have other computers at home that runs in unix (Ubuntu) and windows (Windows 7) and those computers are able to print, scan, and fax to this computer without problems. The connections to all computers are the same which is wireless. I have read a lot post in this community and as well as HP community and it doesn't provide any solution to this problem. I am able to ping this printer from the MacBook with no problem. When I install this printer using ip method the scan option is not there. However if I bring the computer downstairs and install it using usb the scan option appears. I am thinking that HP didn't provide a driver for scan option if you're connected wireless or ethernet. But I found out that the current drivers for mountain lion for this particular printer has a scan capability. I need some help in figuring out what's going on with this. I would like to be able to scan using this laptop where I don't have to physically connect it to the scanner. I am completely lost with Mac.

Officejet 6500 scanner not recognized after driver upgrade with Mac OS Lion

I have an Officejet 6500 E709n. Using Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 all software is updated.
I was having printing issues so I "reset printing system" thru Mac System Preferences and uninstalled my print drivers that originally came with the printer from HP. I am using the drivers updated by Mac OS Lion. The printing problem was solved! Sadly, I now have no scanning capability. I have followed many suggestions on scanning that I've found here on the forum, but my system no longer recognizes my printer as a scanner. The scan option is not even visible under the "print and scan" window in system pref. (I used to be able to click "print" or "scan" buttons on the printer window but even now there are no buttons giving those options).
Thanks for your help and time!

Hi,
As I understand from your email that you are unable to scan from the MAC OS X System, this is due to the software issue, so we need to uninstall and reinstall the completed software,
Please follow the steps below and let us know how it was.
Step 1:- Run the Scrubber to uninstall the previously installed HP printer drivers
• Double click on the Macintosh Icon.
• Click on Application and then on Hewlett-Packard.
• Click on HP Uninstaller.
• Select the device and press and hold Control + Options + Command (Apple) keys on the keyboard.
• Click on Uninstall.
• You will get a popup window “Are you sure you want to uninstall all HP Software packages”.
• Click on OK to continue.
Note: It will remove the software for all HP printers. If you have any other HP printer installed, you may have to reload the software and set up the printer again.
During the process of uninstall, it might prompt you to enter the password of your computer to continue with the uninstall process. Please enter the password and click on Continue.
Step 2: Download and install the latest software.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-98080-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...=
Step 3: Add a Printer

2. Click Printers & Scanners to open the printer’s folder.
3. Click the plus sign (+).
4. Select the product and from the print using option, from the drop down menu select the printer and not Airprinter, and then click the Add button.
5. Follow onscreen instructions if any.
6. After a few seconds, the product displays in the Printers list.
Step 4. Try Scanning through HP Scan Application.
Click on the Go Button on the top.
Click on Applications.
Click on HP Scan.
Try Scanning and check.
Also check from Print and Scan.
Let us know the results.

Remove my ipod from the computer without ejecting it and now the ipod want turn on, it is not being recognized by my computer's usb port or itune. I have reinstalled itune and still have the same problems.

2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty. Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase. If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.
