HP Photosmart 5510 B111a - iMac can't locate printer on network

When I first bought this printer I set everything up just fine and everything worked great. I recently moved, and for some reason when I hooked it back up, it will not print. I am able to go thru the setup assistant with the printer wired to the iMac just fine until it asked for the usb to be removed and then it says that "device not found on network". I am not sure what the problem could be. Seems it should be quite easy, but I cannot for the life of me, figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Well, I have the same problem with my WIndows 7 (64 bit) laptop. Installing seems to go fine with USB, printer is connected to my network, and works. After I have restarted the networkconnection is still fine (in menu printer) but when I try to print without the USB-cable the printer cannot be found by my computer.
I have tried ever troubleshooting step I could find but still it doesn't work via the network (with USB cable no problems).
Could a permanent IP adress configuration in the router be a solution?
Kind regards,
Ilco

My iMac can no longer print to HP 6700 since OS 10.9

My iMac can no longer print to my HP 6700 printer. This happened after I installed OS 10.9 The rest of my family has PCs and they have no trouble printing at all, so I don't think the printer is the problem. My husband keeps saying get drivers from HP. The HP website has no listing for OS 10.9. I just purchased this printer a few months ago. Is there anything I can do to get it working again?

Hi btysmom
I would like to help. I have spoke with several customers who have upgraded to Mavericks and required information for printing and or scanning. Here is a link to the HP Forums I have posted some information I think will help.

IMAC can not see any wifi networks at all?

IMAC can not find any wifi network at all. A few days ago the Imac suddenly had no wifi and on turning the WIFI on and off it became apparent that when it scans for wifi it can see no wifi networks at all. I have several other computers and they all see the wifi networks fine. I assume it is a hardware issue but the hardware test I preformed comes up with no errors. Anyone got any ideas?

IMac can't locate my time capsule - using BT HomeHub

I can't locate my time capsule on my wireless network to enable back ups. I have an iMac running Yosemite (but the problem pre-dates the update), a 1TB TC and a BT Infinity HomeHub (.n standard). I want to use the HomeHub wireless network not the TC's, but all the apple documentation refers to using the TC's wireless network. I've tried plugging the TC into the home hub via both the normal TC ethernet port and the TC WAN port - no joy. I can back up fine if I connect the iMac and TC via cable, so the problem is down to the network. Any suggestions please?

Cannot print in draft on my HP Photosmart 5510 B111a

Hi - my HP Photosmart 5510 used to have the option of printing in draft.Following on from a reinstallation, this option is no longer available.Can anyone shed any light on why this has happened, and how I can fix it. Thank you in advance, JillC1

Hi mm48,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 5510, you are unable to print in black ink.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

My iMac can't connect to my network or internet why?

So I have a Netgear DGND3700 modem router, and every morning (happened 3 times now) when i get up and turn my imac (late 2012 model, the thin one) on it won't connect to it, the wifi icon in the top right is greyed out. So I click on my network and it doenst connect until I turn my modem router off and on, then my imac connects perfectly for the rest of the day, until the next morning it can't be my imac can it!?
This also happens with my ipad and iphone. What is the issues, is it ios7 or mavericks?
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP this is doing my head in.
this is the modem >

Hello, littlemold
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you have already processed most of the relevant troubleshooting steps for this issue. This could be related to your router assigning a self-assigned IP address. I would recommend going through the steps in the article below.

Photosmart 5510 All In One won't print black

One week ago I copied an A4 page and it worked. Last night, I tried to copy something and I realised that the printer has black ink issues. At first I thought that the printhead is dry so I did a printhead clean without any results. Then I thought that the cardrige may be empty, so I filled it, and then I did a printhead clean again. Neither this time. And then I saw that there are other people that have the same problem. The question is: What to do now?
I use the original cardriges that came with the printer and some good ink. It is the first time since Nov 2012 when I have this problem with the printer.

For the Photosmart 5510 the troubleshooting steps in the document here may help. Especially make sure the vents are cleared. If that does not resolve the issue then resetting the printer as described in the post here may help. If this does not resolve the issue then read the entire thread here and try requesting reset instructions.
I am concerned about your comment "good ink". If you have refilled the cartridge there are various possibilities that could damage the printhead, including air in the supply or printhead, incompatible ink and a host of other issues.

IMac can see everything on wireless network except for internet

My iMac 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" iMac running 10.5.8 has been perfectly fine for a couple of years. Suddenly it will not get an internet connection on the wireless network in our home. We have several other devices on the network that have no trouble using the internet. The iMac can access these devices via wireless, just not the internet.
When it's attached via a LAN cable plugged into the Airport (Dome type) the internet is fine.
We're flumoxed.
Any suggestions greatfully received.

IMac can see PC on home network but PC can not

I am trying to move files from PC to new iMac on my home network. The iMac can see the other machine but the PC keeps looking for the iMac. Is there a setting on the PC other than the firewall and updates that needs to be turned off?

We just bought an iMac. We have a new HP printer that we've been using wirelessly with our windows based computers with no problem. the iMac can find the printer, but it will not set up. Any ideas?

I have to disagree with BGreg about downloading the driver from HP.com. I would recommend using Apple's instructions in
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
specifically the section on How to Add a Printer then check for the section on Wi-Fi printers.

Yosemite Mac Can't Locate Printer

I just got a new Macbook Pro last month. I am using a HP ENVY 4500 printer and occasionally, when I try to send a print job to the printer, it gets stuck in the "Connecting" stage, then when I wait long enough, I get the "cannot locate printer" message. I then restart my Macbook Pro and everything is fine again. When I only got this error once, I thought it might have been some minor glitch but this has happened twice now. Any ideas what could be causing this? Could this be a fundamental hardware issue or am I being overly paranoid?

Thank you so much for the assistance! I will definitely try the steps you mentioned when I encounter the issue again. Just as another update, I have tried turning my printer off and back on again to no success... It seems like restarting the Mac was the only solution so far. Also, just to be very specific with the issue, I will describe the events: (1) I sent a print job to the printer and it just says, "looking for printer" for a while. (2) I then get a message saying that the mac is unable to locate the printer. (3) I unplug the USB and re-plug it again and try again (when I do this, it seems like the printer is detected, but when I try to print, it loads for a while then again says that the printer is unable to be located). (4) I turn the printer off and back on and the same issue from (3) happens. (5) Finally, I restart the computer and send the print job and everything is fine again. I just want to make sure that there's nothing wrong with my Mac and that this sounds more like a software/incompatibility issue! How likely do you think that this is an issue with the hardware?

HP Envy 5535 Can not find printer on network OSX Lion/Yosemite

Here's the background:
1) I'm using Verizon FIOS and the connection settings haven't changed in 1+ year. WPA2/SSID
2) I have previously connected and used wireless printing flawlessly.
3) I can connect to the internet using the wireless setup on the printer/download updates/accept ePrint jobs.
4) I'm using OSX Lion and OSX Yosemite.
Recently, I lost the ability to print wirelessly. Nothing changed with my printer, connection, and machines. Both of my computers cannot connect to the printer. I don't even see the printer when I attempt to add it.
When I attempt to setup the wireless connection on the printer via USB, I see:
"Device Not Reachable
The wireless network settings were successfully downloaded to your device. However, your Mac was unable to locate the device on the network."
I've verified that I have all the latest updates. I could understand why this might happen on my Yosemite box, but the same phenomena is occurring on my Lion box... Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi @tempacc
I can't help but wonder if the issue might have something to do with the router. Although nothing has changed, it is possible the router had its own update and it may have made changes to the routers settings.
Let's first try restarting all the devices using the following steps;
First leave the router on and unplug the power cable
Do the same with the printer, leave it on, and unplug the power cable
Now go ahead and shut down both Macs
After a full minute, you can plug the router back in and wait until it is fully restarted
Then, plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid
Now you can restart one Mac at a time
Now please try adding the printer to one of the Macs. If this does not resolve the issue, please print a network test page from the printer and note the IP address. I'd like you to enter the IP address into the address bar of Safari and let me know if you can access the printers Embedded Web Server.
Keep me posted.

Officejet Pro 8500 A909a - setup can't find printer, HP Network Diagnostic does

Windows XP SP3
HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a CB022A
DLM1FN1006BR
I have been fighting with this printer for the past week, put at least 40 hours into trying to fix this alone. I will never buy another HP product for my office again.
Windows can find the printer on the network. HP Network Diagnostic can find the printer on the network. But the latest version of the installation for the printer, that I downloaded from the website last week, refuses to find the printer on the network. I would do this without the HP software if I could but I need the functionality of hitting the scan button on the printer and it converting those scanned documents to PDF.
Here's a list of things I've tried:
Finding the printer by IP in the setup (doesn't find it)
Using the HP Scrub tool for this printer at all levels (L1-L4) MULTIPLE times followed by deleting the files in %temp% and then reinstalled the full software package.
Disabled all services and startup items.
Disabled the Windows firewall. Tried with Windows firewall installed as well.
Restarted the HP services in services.msc
Updated MSIEXEC.
Un registered Re-registered the msiexec
Re-registered ATL.dll
Ran subinacl to make sure all permissions are set properly.
What I don't understand is why the HP Network Diagnostic can find it and the install can't. It seems to me that without installing all the HP software, I have no way of using the scan button to scan documents - the scanner just says "Select Computer" followed by "No Scan Options".
Can anyone tell me what I've missed in troubleshooting?

Bump? Anyone have any sort of advice? Or is everyone seeing that I've followed every step in the HP Support site and nobody knows what else to suggest?

Lost email folder from iMac - can not locate

Hi
I recently reinstalled mountina lion on my mac. some of my emails are stored in iCLoud where as older ones were in folders on my mail app and not in iCLoud. I can not see them now and I cannot locate them on my mac. I have regular backups - can anyone tell me where I might find my old email fodler on my time machine backup drive.
THanks

I think it is an old mailbox I have deleted. I did have an @me.com and an @icloud.com. Now I only have @icloud.com. Anyone know how to find old mailboxes on a time machine backup drive?
Thanks
Andrew
