HP Officejet Pro 8610 does not connect to laptop via wireless network

I have a new HP Officejet Pro 8610. It is connected wirelessly to my home network. My laptop, running Windows 7, is connected to the same network, but cannot find the printer. I have tried turning everything off and resetting the router, but still have the same issue - my laptop cannot find the printer.
I am able to email a document from my laptop to the printer using the printer's email address.
What can I do to get my laptop to find the printer on the wireless network?

Hey!
This is an issue with your wireless, you either have to get your router looked at you are looking at relocating your printer and your router so they are closer together. If you are able to connect all of your devices to the network fine when you are in the same room; Call HP Technical Phone Support.
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.
I hope this helps.

Officejet Pro 8610 - Can't connect to wireless network (and has similar issue with previous printer)

When I returned from a trip, I was unable to connect to my trusty HP All-in-one 7510 that I had on my network for three years. I tried troubleshooting it, reinstalling the software on numerous computers, and fixing the printer, but alas the printer said that it was connected to the network, and none of my computers wanted to find it anymore.
Then I bought my new Officejet Pro 8610 this week, set it up...and I am experiencing the same issue. I tried using the link and support took from this post - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/Officejet-Pro-8610-Can-t-connect-to-wi... but the printer was unable to be found on the network.
I would appreciate any help on this issue. Thanks!

Hello @Celestialnova ,

Hp officejet pro 8610 | does not print and cannot connect it wireless

Just bought the following printer: Officejet Pro 8610. Installed it with the cd. Installation on the printer goes well, connected to network, strong reception. 1) Cannot make a wireless connection from laptop to printer. Followed all the steps, uninstalled and reinstalled with software from hp site 7 hours worth. Router on/off, firewall on/off etc. 2) Installed not wireless but with a usb cable, this can be done however scanner and copier work but no pinting. Testprint also doesn't work, the internal test print does. Scan doctor said that it was a software problem that could not be solved by said doctor and to uninstall and reinstall the software. Freaking sick of doing that as it does not work. Also installed the basic driver to see if this works, same story, no printing. Laptop is from 2007 with windows XP. I really need to print for work and cannot spend another full day troubleshooting this monster. Either wireless or with usb cable, i dont care....... Please help!!! Thank you Mar

HP officeJet Pro 8610 can't connect to wireless router

Just bought a HP officejet Pro 8610, switched on the wireless mode. It won't connect to my Netgear router D6200. It tries to look for the networks in the house and the software hangs. I took it back to the shop and exchanged it with a new printer. I tested it in the shop and it picked up the networks but at home it continues to do the same thing, the software just freezes.

Hi,
Try following these steps and check if that may help:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03806987/
I would also suggest disabling any anti virus or firewall software on your PC which might block the installation.
Be sure to use the latest drivers, those can be downloaded below:

Hp officejet pro 8610 - Unable to connect to server

Hello. I bought a printer hp officejet pro 8610. I have a home worth router Zyxel Keenetik. My laptop and smartphone access to the Internet via a router (to access the Internet proxy server is not required). I set up the printer on a wireless connection. Configured to print from a laptop to a local network - this works fine. And now trying to set up ePrint, but faced with the problem - I can not run a web-service on the printer. The message - "Unable to connect to server". I downloaded from HP new version of firmware for the printer and installed it, but the problem remained.

Hi,
Try setting a manual public DNS as following and check if that may help:
Open the Network tab within the printer's web page.
Select IPv4 within the Wireless section.
Select a Manual IP, then click the Suggest an IP button and allow it a few moments.
Once the fields being updated, change the DNS section as following:
Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4.
Apply and save the changes, then try enableing Web Services again and check for any difference.
Please let me know if that may help,

Officejet Pro 8610: Will not Auto Answer

Evening all. We just purchased two HP Officejet Pro 8610's and have set them up at the office, however, we have noticed that even though we have the Auto Answer feature enabled, neither machine is automatically answering. Instead they are still requiring a manual "yes, go ahead and answer that" button press which does not work for us as we often do not have people around those machines.
In running a Fax Test Report I got the following print-out...
Fax Hardware Test: PASS
Fax Connected to Active Telephone Wall Jack: PASS
Phone Cord Connected to Correct Port on Fax: PASS
Using Correct Type of Phone Cord with Fax: PASS
Dial Tone Detection: PASS
Fax Line Condition Test: PASS
Language: English
Country/Region: USA
Auto Answer: On
Rings to Answer: 2
Fax Paper Size: Letter
Tone or Pulse Dialing: Tone Dialing
Fax Sound Volume: Soft
Distinctive Ring: Single Rings

Automatic Reduction: On
Backup Fax Reception: On
Error Correction Mode: On
Fax Speed: Medium (14400)
Fax Forwarding: Off
Communication Error Redial: Redial
Our header and number have also been set. At this time I am assuming I missed something in the User's Manual, since this is happening with both machines. Might someone know of what I missed?
This question was solved.

Hi RandyT9,
I believe it is related to distintive ring setting. Have you tried to set the Distinctive Ring feature to All Rings and see if the printer can answer it automatically?
If you using distintive ring service, please refer to User manual on the distinctive ring setting.
If you are not using a distinctive ring service, check to make sure that the Distinctive Ring
feature on the printer is set to All Rings.
Hope this may helps.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Will Not Print

I have a new Officejet Pro 8610 which has been working fine but today it would not print. Everyting else still worked, the printer is detected by USB and all of the cleaning/ alignment procedures work from my PC as normal. Scaning a document worked OK as well. I tried to run a test print from the printer list on windows, this didn't work either. So I uninstalled the supplied software and reinstalled it again, still would not print. At this point I installed the software on my old laptop and connected if by USB again and it worked fine, printed straight away. The only difference in the install was when selecting which additional programmes to install, one said it was already installed even though I had unistalled the software before. That programme was the Product Improvement Study which I can't get rid of. Everytime it is still there. Is this causing my problems and how do I get it off my PC as I am unable to find it anywhere to remove it. Any help would be appreciated.

no one answered this questio for me or even gave me advice....
I got it to print from explorer but not chrome .So for some reason it decided to stop printing from chrome all on its on.Not sure how long it ill print from ie but we'll see .thanks for no advice

Officejet pro 8600 will not connect to wireless network

I have an new Officejet Pro 8600 that I am trying to set up. I have run the the wireless network setup wizard multiple times. It recognizes the wireless network router asks for the WEP code and then thinks for about 5 minutes before returning a message: "Unable to connect to the network"
The wireless network test results suggestes that MAC address filtering may be the problem. There is no MAC filtering function activated on our wireless router.
The wireless router is a Verizon Actiontec MI424-WR 802.11 b & n
We have computers running both Windows XP and MAC OS X.
One of the reasons that we purchased this printer is for the wireless capabilities. If it will not conect to the web then it may be going back.

Hello,
Based on the provided details, I believe the issue have something to do with the wireless security settings of your router.
Please follow the steps below to access the Advanced Security Settings:
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Networking/Setup/ActiontecMI424/125511.htm
Below you will see the Network Authentication settings.
Select either Open System Authentication or Both.
Shared Key Authentication is not supported by the printer, and i believe this might be the cause for the connection failure.
Please let me know of any change,

Officejet Pro 8100 will not connect wirelessly to my main PC

Was able to connect the printer to the wireless network and will print for a wireless laptop but am not able to select this printer by my main PC. When asking it to add a new printer it finds the 8100 but freezes at that point and will not connect. I have reloaded the driver software but the software also freezes when trying to locate the printer.

Hello wsw1,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand the software keeps freezing when "Locating the Printer".
What is your operating system on this computer? Windows or Mac?
Try installing this software over a USB connection. Please follow this HP document on Installing Printers Software over a USB Connection. Choose your correct operating system.
This will be a test, to verify if the software is able to successfully install without freezing. (Make sure you leave the USB cord out of the computer until it prompts you to connect.)
If you get this software installed on your computer, then try Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Can't get officeJet Pro 8600 wireless to connect

This is so frustrating. I just bought a HP Officejet Pro 8600 and am trying to set up the wireless connection to my ATT-supplied Netgear 7550 router. I keep getting a message that "MAC address filtering is enabled on your wireless router" even though I have checked in the router setup and I am certain that it is not (it clearly says MAC is "not enabled"). I talked to the ATT tech support and they agreed--we even hard-rebooted the router and re-installed it and it seems to be working as intended. I have unplugged and re-plugged the printer. I have spent over 2 hours and keep getting the same message.
Help?
Oh, I have also tried the HP Dr. software taht has been recommended to others, but it does not find my printer.

Thanks for the reply. I believe I already tried that once. I added the printer MAC address and selected "allow this address" or something like that. It did not seem to help, so I went back and disabled the MAC filtering completely. But, I can try that again. Certainly won't hurt.

HP Officejet Pro 8610 Printer Not Printing

I have been using my Officejet Pro for about a week now, and it has been working great! I have set up my e-print, successfully printed from a phone...all wirelessly. Randomly, the printer stopped printing. It is still connected to the network, and I can actually scan documents from the printer direclty to my computer and to my email, it just wont print from my computer to the printer wirelessly anymore. It still works if I connect a USB, but just not wirelessly. I have restarted both my printer and computer, re-configured the wireless settings, and instaled the HP Doctor that stated that it could not find any issues with the printer. I don't get a message or anything, but when I go to the control panel and click on my printer, it says 1 document "error". Help! I work remotely and need a wireless printer due to lack of office space. Any suggestions?

John,
Thanks for your response to my query about printing problems on an HP Officejet Pro K550 printer since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I usually use the Duplex printing on two sides of the paper. I use A4 size paper (am based in UK); if I substantially increase the footer margins I get printing on all pages. Maybe something to do with the way the printer handles the paper in and out for two-sided printing, although you would expect the problem to then be printing on even pages, not odd. Prior to Mountain Lion, there was no problem in printing footers, but this might just be a coincidence, and it might be the printer on the blink.
I generally only use Microsoft Office 2011 and Adobe Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.4

HP Officejet Pro 8610 will not install on Windows 2003 Server 32 bit.

When installing the 8610 with the disk, at the end it states and error occurred during the installation of the device. The specified module could not be found.
When I install using the downloaded drivers, after the files extract and the program connects to the printer, when I hit Continue a screen pops up and states the operating system of this computer is not supported... even though the 2003 Windows server is on the list. Is there anything I can do to install the drivers? All I need is basic printing . I'm about ready to pack it up and return it... which means the other printers will have to be returned because I like them all to be the same.
Please help.

Hi,
Follow the steps below to install the software using an MSIEXEC command, the installation should not be done using the installer as any clieant operating system.
The steps below are also applicable for installing the 8610 on a server OS:

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus not connecting

My printer has stopped connecting to my computer. When I click on the control panel on the printer for wireless connection, it tells me that the wireless connection has been disabled and I should contact the printer's administrator. I am the only user of the printer, so this is not an answer. I have spent hours trying to get this printer to connect to my MacBookPro, and it won't recognize the printer even with a cable. And the printer driver seems not to have been updated for over two years (a link to an alleged more current version leads to a dead web page). I have run the HP wireless setup software on my Mac repeatedly but it fails to connect to the printer.

Hello @JeanneS1 ,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are haveing a problem connecting to your 8600 Plus over the wireless network.
I would like to help.
I would doubble check the wireless on the printer.
Touch the wireless icon, if it has an IP address Type it inot safari and try to reach the EWS.
If it does not have an IP, or says no link, go into the setup menu.
Then go into the Network sub menu and select the wireless setup wizard.
If the printer has an IP address and you can't reach the Embedded Web Server (EWS), I would power off the printer.
Then unplug the power to your router of one minute. Plug the power back into the router and turn the printer back on.
When the blue wireless light on the printer stops blinking try to connect the printer again.
If the newtork connection is fine, I would uninstall the HP software again.
Then I would verify and repair the disk permissions.
Once that is done, check for Apple updates.
Restart/reboot the Mac.
Install the HP software again.
