HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809a - network connection does not work
Hi,
I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8000 (without wireless). Printer works great when connected and installed via USB, but network connection is just ... awkward. Meaning it doesn't want to work
Question: when I connect the printer via ethernet, the printer should automatically obtain an IP-adress from my router's DHCP-server, right?
Well that doesn't happen here. I printed the network configuration page several times, each time it states that the printer has the IP 169.254.90.4 with 255.255.0.0 as subnet. My local network is 192.168.2.0 with 255.255.255.0 as subnet. So the connection to the printer cannot work. Why doesn't the printer automatically obtain the network config of my network and how can I change this behavior?
Any help would be very appreciated.
Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line and printer's Ethernet from the router.
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Connect Ethernet between the printer and router.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- In screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 255 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Use the router's IP address for the gateway and the first DNS (leave the second blank).
- Finally, plug in the phone line and test.

In addition for a try, also check by disabling firewall on one particular system.
To add users and groups to the Remote Desktop Users group by using Local Users and Groups snap-in:
1. Click Start > Administrative Tools, Open Computer Management.
2. In the console tree, click the Local Users and Groups node.

Internet connection does not work when Macbook wakes up from sleep
I recently installed MAC OSX LION. After that whenever the macbook pro wakes up from sleep, the internet connection does not work. I get a message 'DNS lookup failed'. I have to Turn off the WIFI and turn it back on every time. Has anyone come across this?
Same problem here. But I am afraid it has nothing to do with Safari because I don't even have Safari open. When it wakes from sleep, it has no internet connection and i cannot get me mail unless I shut wifi off and then back on. This happened back at the start of Snow Leopard too and it was something Apple eventually fixed.

HP Pavilion Entertainment PC: WiFi works, however, hard wired connection does not work.
Internet via WiFi works, however, hard wired connection does not work.
My software indicates my hardware is working properly.
However, if I connect another computer to the cable I am using, it connects to the internet without a problem.
And, if I connect my comupter to another cable that works with another computer, my computer still does not connect to the internet.
HP Pavilion dv9700 Notebook PC
32-bit Operating System
Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2It could be that the touch pad is broken on the inside and the contact area for the one button is either broken, blocked with an object or the cable going to the mother board is not inserted correctly into the mother board connector. I think in any case the case will have to come off and someone look for physical/connection problems. It doesn't sound like a software problem but there is always a chance.

Trouble recognizing scanner when Officejet Pro is on network connection. iMac with OS X 10.8
I am considering replacing my Officejet Pro 8500 because the scanner is not recognized when the device on connected on the network. Printer is recognized and works fine, but scanner is not recognized from my iMac (OSX 10.8.2). I have the latest HP software driver installed.
However, the printer AND scanner work fine from another iMac (OSC 10.6) on the same network.
Is there a problem with the driver when running under OSX 10.8? Could it be that the driver is not installed correctly in the iMac running OSX 10.8 (I've installed the new driver twice). Could this be resolved by returning the 8500 printer (covered under 3rd party warranty) and buying an Officejet Pro 8600?
This question was solved.
View Solution.AMacGuy ...
Thanks for the reply. The printer is the A910 version.
I am trying to scan from either the HP utility or from the Mac <system preferences> <Print & Scan> function.
When using the HP scan app, the scanner is not recognized. When using the Print/Scan function in System Preferences, the little window that comes up shows the HP Officejet Pro 8500 A910, but there is no Print/Scan tab at the top.
The printer works fine. The scanning funcction will not work (initiated from the Mac), whether connected by wireless or ethernet. When the printer is installed by USB cable, it works fine (print and scan functions).
Note: Connected on the network, if I access the printer by typing the local IP address in the web browser, both the print and scan functions work fine. Also, the print AND scan functions work fine from another iMac on the network - this iMac (my wife's) is running OS X 10.6, Snow Leopard.
I have talked to an Apple Care supervisor (very helpful), and we have uninstalled all HP drivers and apps, repaired disk permissions, removed all HP software using Disk Utility, then re-installed the HP driver pack from hp.com.
The problem seems to be due to OSX 10.8 and the drivers on the OSX 10.8 Mac when the printer is connected by network (wireless or ethernet).
Any ideas? I have been authorized by a 3rd party warranty service (through Office Depot) to return the printer for a refund (now almost 2 yrs old). Should I just return the printer and buy an Officejet 8600, or would this just have the same problem? I have also considered switching to an Epson WF 3540, just in case the problem is with HP's driver software.
Any ideas before I just return the printer to the warranty company?
Thanks. -
Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected
My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
Thanks

Satellite Pro M30 Win 7 - webcam does not work on msn messenger
Hi all
I have a Satellite Pro M30 Modell Nr.: PSM35E and have just changed to Windows 7. But the Nvidia Card NVIDIA GeForceTM FX Go5200 Grafik mit 64 MB RAM does not work properly.
I could find a driver from Vista and installed it, have Aero pics on the desktop, but my webcam does not work on msn messenger and this is the only way for me to see my family.
Can someone help me?
Thanks for your helpHi
Im a little bit confused; do you have some problems with the graphic card or with the webcam?
I assume you are speaking about external webcam connected to the USB port? Right?
What happens if you connect the webcam to the notebook? Can Win 7 recognize the connected device? Did you install additional drivers for this webcam?
In most cases its necessary to do that because I think its not plug & play device. -
HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw Scan to Computer function not working.
Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I recently setup a new HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw on network and most printer features work fine with the exception of the "Scan to Computer" feature that is not working for one specific Mac running OS X 10.9.4.
The "Scan to Computer" (as the name suggests) allows you to scan a document at the printer and send the scanned document to a specific computer on your network. This feature requires that the client computer is Enabled for "Scan to Computer" which is done via HP Utility application (Mac HD > Library > Printers > hp > Utilities) and works on a client Mac we have running Mac OS X 10.8.5 but not Mac OS X 10.9.4, you cannot tick the Enable tickbox on the latter Mac OS X 10.9.4.
Orginally I never installed an software that can with the printer on CD or Download and simply used the built-in Mac OS X drivers for this printer which have worked fine. I have since downloaded and installed the latest driver software but the enabling of "Scan to Computer" is still not a tickable option on the client computer running Mac OS X 10.9.4. Any ideas?@Amsys_SD

LASERJET PRO 100 COLOR MFP M175 - does not work
If I press the power button for turning on , then both of LEDs "ready" and "attention" light , and display lights too. But the unit does not work.
Hello OlegRu,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with lights flashing on the printer.
Are you getting any kind of an error message on the display screen?
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Write me back when you have time with any additional information you can provide.
Thank you.

Satellite Pro L20-212 - USB2.0 does not work
Hi,
I own a *Satellite Pro L20-212*, *Windows XP (SP2) is installed, but USB2.0 does not work*. I can't see anything about USB2.0 in the Devicemanager and the speed of the attached USB2.0 devices is at the USB1.1 level.
I don't know which information is needed to help me out with this problem because it should normally work on my notebook (and I know that the notebook has USB2.0 ports).
Do I have to install a special driver in order to use USB2.0 or is there any software on my notebook which I have to enable?
Thank you very much,
FrankHi
+Fact is that the notebooks hardware is ok and it seems that you only need to install some MS updates and maybe a chipset driver.+
True.
+But lets begin with the basics? as I??m not mistaken; the Satellite Pro L20 belongs to the PSL2YE. Therefore you have to choose this series number if you download the drivers.+
That's what I did.
+On the Toshiba European driver page you will find the Intel Chip Set Utility. Please install it firstly. Do you have an ATI card? If yes install the graphic driver from the Toshiba page because this driver contains the chipset driver for the units with ATI graphic card!!!+
I have an ATI card and I installed the driver from the Toshiba page which includes the chipset driver. That's the first driver I installed on my notebook.
+Secondly you will find the Quick Fix Engineering on the Toshiba page. These are the MS updates which must be installed!!!+
Every single update of Microsoft for Windows XP is installed, so this shouldn't be the problem
+Then the USB ports should be correctly recognized in the device manager and should work.+
USB is recognized, but not as USB 2.0 :-(
+By the way; you should test the USB ports with different external USB devices to ensure that it??s not a USB device malfunction?+
I did that, too. And I used the same decives on Ubuntu to test the USB 2.0 function. And everything worked perfectly.
That's tricky. I don't have the slightest idea what I can do now. The hardware works, the drivers are correct, but it still doesn't work. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR
But thank you very much Gipsyman! -
Std 9.0 + Access 2007 + network connection, PDFMaker not working anymore
Hello,
when i try to create a PDF file from an Access report, it isn't working anymore when i have a network connection. It worked for months, but yesterday Access 2007 crashed and it asked to deactivate the COM Add-In from PDFMaker and my Co-Worker clicked on yes while i was absent. So even after reactivating the Add-In and reinstalling the whole Acrobat Standard, i can't create any PDFs anymore from Access 2007 while i have a active network connection. When i plug off my network cable, it's working, as soon as i plugin the network cable again, it's not working anymore. And it only happens in Access 2007, PDFMaker in Word, Excel etc is still working fine.
Anyone got some ideas or solutions?
Best regards
ChrisCan you create a PDF by printing to the printer? It sounds like you may simply need to do a repair to Acrobat.

Hello,
on several Windows 7 Clients the update/refresh of the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections stopped not working automatically. There is a Update failed error. When we do an "Update Now" manually, it gets synchronized without problems.
I am asking me if there is an issue with a stored Password as we Need to Change the Passwords regularily. The error is occuring for Connections to all RDS Servers (we have severals).
Does Windows store the user Password in the Task Scheduler? If yes, does the schedule Task Password Change automatically after the Domain Password Change?
Or what else could be the issue? The RDS Server and the certificate (Name the same as the URL) seems to be fine as not all Clients have this issue.
Thank you for your helpHi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
By default it will automatically update the RemoteApp and Desktop Connections but if in any particular case it’s not happening then for a try you can restart the server and check the result again. In addition you can try running below command and check
the result.
Start-Process rundll32 -ArgumentList "tsworkspace,TaskUpdateWorkspaces2
More information:
Powershell to update "RemoteApp and Desktop Connections"
If a task is registered using the Administrators group for the security context of the task, then you must also make sure the Run with highest privileges check box is checked if you want to run the task. Please check “Task
Security Context” for more details.
Hope it helps!

Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?
I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?
RonI would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.
