HP Photosmart 7515 wireless printer reverts to Offline, won't print until turned off and on again.

All of the software is installed and it worked without any problem.  The problem appears to occur after the computer has gone into standby.  The only way I can get anything to print is to turn it off the printer and then turn it back on again.  The troubleshooter simply tells me that the printer appears to be off (which it isn't) and tells me to turn it on.  Is there any way to bring an offline printer back online without either rebooting the whole system or turning the printer off and on again? Needless to say, this is very annoying. I have never had this problem with any other printer.

CampValdez, did you ever solve your problem?  I'm having a similar problem with a Photosmart 7525.  I just returned a 7510 because of the same problem and now the 7525 won't work.  I've spent the better part of 3 days on the phone with HP tech support to no avail and I'm ready to take the 7525 back.  The software and printer have been reinstalled many times.  I've changed the printer IP to a static IP.  I've removed my Norton security software, I've tried to set it up on another computer, I've changed the channel on the router to channel 11 and nothing works for more than 10 minutes.  The blue light on the printer indicating that it is on the network always is steady blue.  I can get it to work by pressing the wireless symbol and then turning off the wireless and then turning it back on.  When it's working I can access the printer from my web browser with the printer's IP.  It seems once it goes to sleep, I cannot access the printer from the browser.  Touching the screen and waking up the printer does not restore the communication between the computer and the printer.  Since this problem persists with two printers and two different computers, I'm suspecting a router setting but I'm stumped.   If you find your solution, I bet it's the same problem I'm having.   It's unbelieveable that HP tech support seems clueless.  A search shows this is not an uncommon problem.

  • Printer wont turn off, and the touch screen is black.

    I can not get my printer to turn off. The green power button will just stay on. I tried unplugging it, but as soon as I plugg it back in the power button will still be on. My touch screen also won't work. It just stays  black.

    Hi @Makayla1 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're having touchscreen and power issues. I would love to try and help you, but I do need a little information first. I am linking a few HP Support documents below that will show you how to find which operating system you are using. Also, if you're using Windows, please include whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.

    Which Windows operating system am I running?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?
    I'd suggest performing a power reset on the printer.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend plugging the printer power into a different wall outlet. 
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Dell Dimension desktop sometimes won't communicate with my HP Photosmart 6510 wireless printer

    At random times, when trying to print from Dell Dimension desktop to HP Photosmart 6510 wireless printer, I get a message that the computer can't communicate with the printer.  The printer shows that it is connected to the Internet. I haven't changed any settings.   Each time this happens, I unplug the printer and router, but it doesn't fix the problem.  After about 20 minutes or so, it prints normally.  It always happens at the most inopportune times.  Any suggestions about how I can keep this from recurring?

    These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keeps wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
    1. Set a static IP in the printer (see step 6) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual). 
    2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the  
        printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click  Settings Tab/Auto Off.  Or use the Printer
        Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS). 
    In the router:  (Refer to your router manual for information)
    3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security.  Nobody can hack your
        system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web). 
    7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
        they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks. 
    8. Save all settings.  Power off both, wait 5 mins.  Power on router wait 3 mins. 
    9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) \ Network Discovery.
    Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv 2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer.

    I have an HP Pavilllion dv2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer. They have worked well together until I reformatted and added Windows 7 on the laptop. I went online and downloaded the Windows 7 Printer Wizard. It recognizes my printer and says it has been installed. I have followed their directions and plugged USB cable into printer from laptop.  It prints that way. How can I get this to print wirelessly?

  • Trouble connecting HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer to D-Link router

    We just installed our new all in one modem/wireless router that we received from Verizon yesterday.  The computers connected fine but our HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer will not connect.  We tried many different things.  It connects fine when using the new D-Link with our old wireless router connected.  It will also connect to the modem if there is no security encryption.  Does anyone know how to solve this problem?  Thank you!

    HP sales usb wireless adaptors. 1315v has a USB connection, I believe.

  • My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.

    My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, 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 do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Wireless printing with my iMac and iPad...

    I have a lexmark X4530 printer that I would like to set up for wireless printing from my iMac and iPad (mostly the iPad). I don't have the disk that came with my printer. I currently have the printer wired to my iMac and it is working fine. I tried to print from my iPad, it found the printer but says there is a connection error. I'm not sure what order to connect all this in. Do I set up printer wirelessly to my iMac first or can I just leave printer plugged into iMac and print from iPad wirelessly? Also I tried to use the wireless setup assistant that installed on the iMac when I first plugged in the printer, but it tells me (after entering in all necessary information) that there is a connection error. Please help!!

    After I installed 10.6.8, my HP Officejet 7310 lost the ability to print 2-sided.  I installed the latest HP drivers for Snow Leopard, the 2-sided option shows up in the print window but is turned off and greyed out.  Also the scan function won't let me scan at any density greater than 150 dpi.  I have talked to Applecare and to HP tech support and been told "too bad."  Any help would be appreciated.

    THANK YOU!  And who are you?  I spent a couple of hours on the phone with Applecare and with HP Tech Support and they couldn't fix what you did in a few words.  Many thanks!  John

  • What happens if your printer is turned off?

    Is there a way to queue items, so that they'll print later? If I'm on the road, and I want to send items to the printer but the printer is turned off, will the items print later?

    Hello
    If the printer is off the e-print server will try again if it is more than 24hrs then then job will reject.

  • Offline sync using Cellular when switched off and connected to Wifi

    Problem with Spotify or Apple iPhone6?? I have the sync over cellular switched off in Spotify, but just synced whilst connected to wifi supposedly based on the WiFi icon showing but it used about 1gb of my cellular data. Latest iPhone6 update applied but might not be the reason. Anyone else experiencing this???  I have had to buy more data so I don't get charged.

    I have had the exact same problem. With syncing 2 albums over 200Mb (of 500mb) of my cellular data gone!
    Wifi was on (and working with websites etc.), mobile data for Spotify in iOS settings was enabled, syncing in Spotify via 2g/3g disabled and offline mode in Spotify was turned off.
    This was on iPhone 5c with iOS 8.1, Spotify version 1.9.0.2744
    Please help!

  • I have a WRT54GC, and our wireless connection to the x360 is lost anytime we turn off the PC.

    I have a WRT54GC that is hooked properly to the cable modem (adelphia) according to all literature... but, our wireless connection to the x360 is lost anytime we turn off the PC, which shouldn't happen. The router is connected directly to the motor. modem. We can be on line on with the pc and x360 at the same time and we have the internet connection. But both connections will also free from time to time on us. The cable HSI was just installed and we are new to this. Any assistance would be great! I'm taking my laptop home this weekend to see if I can get on wireless with it. Also (sorry) all the lights are working as they should according to the router software, but when I put the cd in ran the wizard, it tells me it can't find the router connected to my pc. I'm going batty with this. Thanks.
    MC

    Hi ... Mac address cloning is enabled on my router - so I guess that could be a problem, and the filmware version is 1.02.5 - we just installed this thing and haven't done any type of upgrades.
    A little history - adelphia didn't connect properly - turning off the pc killed the wireless router connection and then if I hooked right into the cable modem from the pc, I didn't get a connection. So, we unplugged everything and started out fresh following the install wizard and the pc now sees the router. After that, my laptop didn't lose it's connection when the pc was shut down either. So ... the xbox was next. It seems that when we have the WEP enabled, the xbox 360 can not connect to xbox live. We did a media test first it passes the connection to the wireless network and takes the WEP key, but it fails when looking for the IP address. All DHCD information is enabled. So, we disabled the WEP and ran the console test - and it passed. We then did the media test and it obtained the IP address this time, but then failed the media connect (whatever the next test is). Not sure we actually need the media text or just the xbox live test.
    I'd like to be able to use the WEP security, but we can't go live when it is enabled.
    We are new to this, so appreciate any assistance!
