HP Photosmart B110a wireless problems !!

OK I've trawled every forum and wasted an awful lot of time courtesy of HP !! Have a MacBook Pro, iPhone4 & 3GS + iPad2 ; all connected via a Netgear 834bg, all software/firmware up to date. It has to be said I'm fairly Tech Savvy and can solve/hack most problems, that is apart from WiFi connection to a HP printer. Had a C4580 before the B110a, this worked brilliantly over Wifi (scan/print) up until 18 months ago after an update (Apple/HP). As mentioned it stopped working, thought WiFi radio was bust but eventually came to the conclusion that it was working OK - nevertheless went foe an upgrade (or so I thought) for iPad/iPhone/AirPrint connectivity. Well I have now eventually managed to 'connect' MacBook / IP4/iPad etc. no thanks to HP and its useless manuals and install procedure (went through this at least 5 times - from scratch !!). As said I'm fairly capable in solving tech problems, this has been an appalling struggle !!! Judging from this support website and other forums it is a slim comfort to see how many people have real difficulties with what should be a straight forward install procedure. HP is as a company very good at producing greatly hyped websites and advertising about their products - what if YOU (HP) put as much effort in getting your products to work straight out of the box ?? Any Apple product I have bought have ALWAYS worked - just like that, don't get me wrong I've been a great fan of HP as a company until this purchase. There are a lot of customers fumbling in the dark with WiFi and connectivity issues; very obviously so in this forum !!
As for the comment 'Want Good Answers - Ask Good Questions' ; how about
'Want Happy customers ? Write good Software !!
I will share my solutions at a later stage, hopefully it will offer some solutions - I do not want 'HP users' to go through the same HP-Hell as I have

OK just to clarify how I managed to get what somehow looks like a reasonable/stable connection, this follows trawling this and other forums for clues - Thanks to those who have provided me with some of these clues, can't remember names
You need to get in to the EWS (embedded web server) of the printer, paste URL from network configuration page into Safari etc. (192.168.0.xx). See screenshots: Assign Manual IP4 adress+ subnet+default gateway. You also need to get to the Advanced section in Network Tab, make sure you've got WPA (PSK) with 13chars+ password, WEP will not work ! I stress that this procedure is tested for MACBook/iPad2/iPhone4 only, but should work for Windows as well. So BIG question to HP : WHY oh WHY is all this necessary ????

Photosmart 7280 wireless problem

My photosmart all in one 7280 printer stops printing and leaves jobs in the print que. I am using a wireless home network to connect to my Dell laptop using Windows Vista. Anyone else having problems or have you fixed a similar problem?

hello,
make sure you have the exact ip address.
press the setup button of the printer and use the arrow button and go to network and press ok.
look for view network settings and press ok.
look for print network configuration page and press ok.
check the ip address and take note of it.
in your computer, click on start and click on control panel,
click on printers
right click on your printer driver and click properties
click on ports and check the port that has a check mark
if port is not using the exact ip address, click on configure port, change the ip address with the ip address on the configuration page.
click apply and click ok
try to print again
keep me informed please..

Photosmart 7510 wireless problem.. Fed Up

I have a Photosmart 7510 and it keeps loosing connection with my router. I am fed up turning it off and on,so I am going to wire it directly into my Mac via USB CABLE. Is there any setting that I have to change on my Mac ? Or can I start printing right away ?

Do you want to work on the wireless issue at all?
To answer your question, first download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Restart your Mac.
Now, plug the printer directly into your Mac. Within a minute or so you will be able to print/scan.

Photosmart c4599 wireless problem

Hi,
I'm trying to set up my C4599, but whenever I go through the setup process I get the following error after the diagnostic test:
"The connected printer does not support wireless networking"
How can I solve this?
Thanks

I got the same message installing a C4580 on Windows XP connected with a cable to a Linksys 54G wireless router "The connected printer does not support wireless networking". It also stumped the support tech. In my case, no amount of fooling with the firewall, channel, rebooting, etc. made one whit of difference. I tried to install on my Vista laptop. Same error (but I could continue if I connected to HPsetup under wireless networks - not a working solution, though). However the support tech noted that I had other HP services installed on the XP. That gave me an idea. I did have an HP D4200 installed. I used add or remove programs on the control panel to remove all HP products. I rebooted everything. Then the C4580 installed. I gather the C4580 installation software is simply incompatible with the D4200 software since I tried the installation on two very different computers with only the wireless router and the D4200 in common and ended up with the identical error message.
After installing, I still got an error about a firewall possibly blocking a port. It asked if I wanted to continue via USB. I did so. I shut down both the printer and the computer. The printer hung on shutdown, and I had to unplug it. I also removed the USB cable. When I turned things back on, they worked. My Vista laptop already had the drivers and fired up without further ado. However, if the printer is turned off, the laptop connection goes offline and does not immediately come back online when the printer is turned on. One can click the printer icon and make it online, but it is a little irritating.

Photosmart B110a HP software won't install on windows 7 starter

I have a Photosmart B110a 3 year old wireless printer that is working on my home pc running windows 7 professional, but after buying a new notebook running windows 7 starter I can not install the HP software either from the install cd that came with the printer or by downloading the software from the HP website!
I have done a fresh install of windows 7 starter & have switched off antivirus & firewall but I still can't install HP software to install the printer.
(I was told I would have to pay £18 for technical support to get YOUR software to work my notebook, I don't see why I need to pay money for something that is clearly an issue with YOUR software?)
I don't have any problems installing any other software for any other software provider on my notebook either from the discs or by downloading, so the issue is isolated to just YOUR software!
When I try and left click on the setup exe logo when the disk spins up the cd window disappears and nothing happens, no software in installed! Tried copying the contents to my notebook and try to manually install but that does not work either!
Downloading the software from HP website results in the software unzipping/unpacking but then nothing happens, install window disappears! Yes I have switched off & even tried uninstalling my antivirus & firewall without any success! HELP!!!!!!

Have you already tried running the install wizard? This will help resolve some potential problems.

I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a with Windows 8.1 64bit

I cannot select the Paper Size when I try to print with HP Photosmart B110a
The same printer was working OK with my old PC with OS Windows 7
However I got a new PC with OS Windows 8.1 64bit
I installed the new driver for HP Photosmart B110a that I dowloaded from HP site. Driver forWindows 8.1 64bit.
In addition to not being able to chose the paper size, also when I go to Printer Properties in Options, all the characters are non-ascii.
Do you know what may be the problem?
Thank you

Hello Nanu64,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues when attempting to print from your computer.
I also see that you stated that not all the options are available in the printing preferences options. This could be because the installation was not complete or it failed.
I suggest that we do a complete uninstall/ reinstall as well as some additional steps.
First off, 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.
If you have the printer connected to the computer with a usb cable, please remove the cable from both ends and leave it disconnected until further notice.
The next link that I have for you will give you detailed instructions for Uninstalling the Printer Software. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer so that the changes take affect.
When the computer is back up and running, please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection you may have running. We don't want anything getting in the way of the reinstall.
The following download is the HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers. Save this download to the desktop of the computer so that it creates its own icon. This will make it easy for us to find when the download is complete.
Double click the new icon and follow the installation instructions. The installation will give you connection options (Wireless , usb or Ethernet), if connecting usb, please wait for the prompt to connect the cable. Connecting the usb cable before hand can cause an issue with the installation.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Photosmart b110a only prints in black and white

Hi i've got a photosmart b110a which copies and scans in colour, but will only print out from my imac in black and white.
Does anyone have the same problem and hopefully the answer

I tried to understand why my B110a was printing Black and White. I just solved the problem which is driver related(in my case).
If you are on a Mac do this:
1. Download the last drivers from the HP website for your printer;
2. Install them normally;
3. Go in System Preferences > Print & Fax;
4. There should be your printer listed on the left side of the window, double click it;
5. Another window should open, select Printer Setup at the top right;
6. Now select Driver on the top;
7. In 'Print Using:' select: 'HP Photosmart B110 Series'.
That was the problem for me, even though the driver were installed they weren't selected - I know it's silly.
Hope that solve your problem, otherwise I'm not be able to help you further.
If you use any Windows or Linux platform I won't be able to help at all as I don't know how could I set that - if is that the case - on those platforms.
All the best,
Frann

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.

Photosmart B110a & Mavericks - won't print after about two minutes...

Evening - I've been using the Photosmart B110a for a few years no problems at all with Windows XP, Windows 7 and more recently Windows 8 - I've recently bought an iMac that is running Mavericks, and it's not right.
It took me a while to install it, but eventually got that sorted but now it simply hangs when I try to print to it. Now, and here's the thing, if i reboot the printer, or reboot my router (TalkTalk DSL-3780) the printer comes on line, the jobs in the queue print, I can get to the webpage for the printer and all seems ok.
But after about two minutes it "hangs" - for want of a better phrase. The print jobs queue up, the webpage hangs, and nothing happens until I reboot it.
Now whiles it's hanging, I can still ping the router from the terminal, but no response from any of the software - unti I reboot, and then only for a few minutes, and on the cycle goes.
It's still fine from the Windows machines not incidentally, it only seems to be doing this from the iMac.
The reboot fix is a solution of sorts, but it's obviously not ideal.
Reading the forums there have been lots of posts about scanning issues with Mavericks, but I've not got that far yet.
Could you advise one way or the other?
Many thanks, Gary.

Hey @Wickers , I am really sorry i misunderstood the OS you are running.
We have exahusted all the troubleshooting steps HP has provided for this issue. The only driver available is for 10.8 and lower. Unfortunately this printer is not fully compatible with the new operating systems of Mac. The only driver available is the apple update thats you you have already done, because HP doesnt have a driver, we are very limitted in what we can do for this issue.
I suggest maybe trying a different printer driver such as HP Photosmart 5510d e-All-in-One Printer B111h/B111j Full Feature Software and Drivers.
For any further support at this point I would recommend calling the HP tech support via phone.
Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-phone-assist.html

How do you connect it ? With Wifi or USB ?

IPhone 4.2.1 print not working with Photosmart B110a

I can access the printer web page from Safari, but "Looking for Printers" finishes with "No Printers Found". iPhone then loses WiFi connection and password has to be entered again.
Any suggestions for getting this working would be appreciated.

Hi there,
I have the same problem. My printer is: "Photosmart B110a"
I can print fine using the HP iPrint application, but when I try to print using the default printer on my iPhone (ie from Mail) I get "No Printers Found"
We're using WPA, with an EnGenius AP, and Cable connection to the internet.
Does the printer need to be able to connect to the internet? I saw some other user saying that the printer updated and they were able to print. Currently we connect through a managed Linux firewall.
Thanks!

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.

Anyone managed to connect an HP Photosmart B110a P...

I have a Photosmart B110a printer that refuses to connect.
After entering all network information SSID and wireless key, the printer attempts connection then you get a blue screen on the printer panel with error code B8126AD6, you then get a printer error then you are asked to switch off & switch on the printer. You are then in a loop!
Have tried the USB to wireless function on my PC but get the same error.
Anyone managed to connect one of these?

Some professional you used, that's total rubbish. I use a different model HP printer (Photosmart C4380) and it connects wirelessly on the BT hub 2 without any issues (other than the often **bleep** HP software but that's another story!).
