Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer (CN731A)
Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great. Thought everything was good to go. Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print. Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there. I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed. This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer. I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo? Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hello,
Try the below steps ..
While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
Wait for 30 seconds.
Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges or the Printer .

Photosmart 6180 All-in-One Wireless Connection After Windows 7 Laptop Added to Network

I replaced a broken Vista laptop with a new Windows 7 64-bit laptop. After I installed my Photosmart 6180 All-in-One, the printer stopped working correctly when we try to connect to it wirelessly.
I followed all the directions HP provides for updating the printer software and drivers for Windows 7.
We've tried all the suggestions for resetting the printer that we can find on the HP forums.
The printer works properly when connected via USB cable to a Vista laptop.
I was not able to get the printer to work via USB cable connected to the Windows 7 laptop.
When we try to connect via the wireless signal, regardless of Vista or Windows 7, the printer goes into an endless initialization loop.
We need to determine whether achieving a wireless connection is hopeless. If it is not, we need step-by-step instructions on how to resolve the issue.
The security system for the printer is WEP. We connect through a wireless router provided by Verizon FIOS.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Some of HP's printers do not support WEP shared. If you are using WEP shared this could be the problem. I would suggest turning off the WEP security temporarily to see if that fixes the issue. If it does then you can look at changing the security to WEP Open system authentication.

Photosmart C5180 all in one not copying and or printing

My Photosmart C5180 all in one-- will not print material from my computer. It will not copy either.
I did a print test from my computer's solution software and a nice picture of 2 pears came out fine
in living color. I did an extended self test diagnostic - 2 pages--and the headings (product information, etc)
printed out fine in black and blue ink---but the info under each heading printed really really light - not readable.
When I try to print from my computer I get a blank page. When I try to copy something it sounds like it
is printing, but the paper is blank. Thanks for the help.

Photosmart C7280 All-In-One Wireless Not working

My wireless printing was working fine with my Photosmart C7280 for about at least a year or more and now recently the wireless side stopped working. My Apple devices (both iPad and Macbook) stopped recognizing my printer. Even when I tried to add via IP address, it would not take.
My printer is working fine when hard wired thru both my PC and Macbook via USB.
I tried resetting my printer network settings by restoring to Network Defaults and adding back in my SSID and Password. It shows it is connected. But when I run a Wireless Network Test Page from within the printer settings, it shows everything passed and signal strength is excellent. However, the last diagnosis in the summary shows "No" to "Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID)" so I am wondering if my printer is actually connecting properly to my network? Since I have other wireless devices connected to the same SSID.
I turned both the printer and other devices off and then on to reboot. I turned the wireless radio within the printer settings off and on again.
Another thing I'd like to mention is that before I deleted the printers in my Apple devices, they still showed my Photosmart 7200 series, but stated they were inactive.
Also when I was able to get into my Verizon FIOS Broadband Router Management software thru my browser, it showed all my wireless devices, but it also showed my Photosmart as being inactive wirelessly, where the other devices that were turned on at the time were showing connected.
I am wondering if it may have been a recent Apple update that may have caused this problem? However the Verizon Fios also showed the printer as being inactive so I am guessing not?
I have been working on this issue for days and spent a ton of time thus far, so any suggestions to resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I am about mid-level in technical understanding. So please spell out answers to any resolution steps very simply in your reply.

Honestly, ISP-issued routers are very problematic. Restart the Westell by pulling its power cord momentarily just before trying to connect the printer.

HT4356 How do I connected HP Photosmart C6380 all-in-one wireless printer to my iPad

When I put in the key it says that it cannot connect But my iPad is connected to my wireless Internet as well as my computer and my phone

Check out this article. Your printer has to be on the list as air print compatible first.

Photosmart B110A all-in-one wireless printer

Printer keeps disconnecting itself from the wireless connection, have tried setting a static IP address but no luck. Any other solutions available? Can I alter the stand-by settings for the printer?
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Darren
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. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- 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.

Photosmart premium all-in-one (C309 Series) won't print

I have this printer set up on a network with an ethernet connection. It was printing fine set up as wireless and all of a sudden it stopped. I reinstalled the software and I got a message that there was an internet problem. I reinstalled the software using an ethernet connection but it still won't work. I am trying to run the Network Diagnostics but no printer is found; however, when I click on network on my computer, it shows the printer as "Ready". Operating system is Vista. Can you help me?

OK, try to disable your McAfee firewall and try again.

5512 all in one wireless; unable to find printer from my laptop

Last week we had to replace our wireless modem. Yesterday was the first day we needed to print something. The printer was showing it was "offline" on my laptop and my son's laptop. It hadn't been connected to the new modem, so I did that. It shows a wireless connection and good signal strength. After that our laptops still showed it was offline. Another laptop doesn't show the printer is offline but we get an "unable to print" error message. I decided I would uninstall the printer from my laptop and then reinstall it (I'd had this issue before and this worked) but now it says there's no printer found when trying to add it back. Any ideas???

Hello LLHRN07,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when it comes to connecting the printer to the new wireless router.
I suggest that you try to run the Wireless setup Wizard from the printer. To do so, please go to the front panel on the printer, use the right arrow and go to the SetUp Menu. Use the right arrow again and select the Wireless Menu. From here, go to the Wireless SetUp Wizard and follow the prompts to connect to the new router.
If you have any issues, or any other questions, please feel free to write me back.

HP Photosmart e-all-in-one NOT PRINTING for MAC 10.9.2

Hi,
I have a HP Photosmart e-all-in-one wireless that I have been using for my Apple devices (Mac, iphone, ipad) for years and recently it started giving me problems.
First month or so ago, out of nothing the MacBookPro would not see the printer connected, in dispite of been connected to the network. During that time I was able to find it connected from my iphone & ipad. Then I was using to print from these last two.
Now, not even from my iphone & ipad. It seems that printer does not exist at all, coz it always says "printer not connected" on the MacBook and "No AirPrint Printers Found" on the ipad & iphone.
I've noticed that on HP website, the most updated version of the Mac is 10.9 and my devices has 10.9.2 Is this the problem? If so, how can I get by and continue to use the printer? I need to print ASAP.
Thanks,
eb

HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One Only Prints Half a Page

MacBook Pro 15.4 Laptop Model A1286
Snow Leopard 10.6
HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One
Wireless Connection
Airport Extreme Sim Dualband
New to wireless
Why does the wireless printer take several minutes before it prints?
Why does it print only the top banner of a web page?
Why does it print only quarter or half the page of a document or web page?
Why does it continually lapse into “pause” mode?

Do not connect a USB cable to the router. This will confuse and defeat the wireless connection.
Let's add the printer using WPS:
FIrst, start the WPS process from the front panel of your printer (Setup [Scan] > Network > Wifi Protected Setup) Then:
open the Apple Airport Utility
select your wireless router
select Manual Setup
select Add Wireless Clients ... from the Base Station menu
Select First Attempt then press Continue.
You have to start the Apple Add Wireless Client process within two minutes of starting the printer's WPS pushbutton method. Actually, order doesn't matter ... you can start the Add Wireless Clients process on the the Apple router first then start the printer's WPS pushbutton method.
Now your printer will be connected to your router.
Because there are two printer icons in the list, let's reset the printing system again:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

I have an HP Photosmart 5520 all in one printer and a MacBook Pro. Bought the MacBook Pro in Jan 2013 and the printer in Dec 2012. I was able to print to the wireless printer up until June 2013. In September, when I tried to use them together, I could not print. During the period between June and Sept., my laptop software was updated. I have tried to update the HP software on my laptop, but could not. What can I do to use this printer with my MacBook Pro? Please help!

The MacBook Pro is running at least 10.7.

Hi Tomiwa,
You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

Are there any updates so i can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One Printer wirelessly?

just wondering..are there any updates for the iMac with OS X (10.8.2) so I can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One (Print,Scan,Copy)?

Hi,
An HP Full Feature Software is not available for Mountain Lion, therefore the Wireless configuration is tricky and cannot be done through the software.
To connect the printer to your wireless network you will need to create a temporary wireless ad hoc connection, then the wireless connection to your router can be configured via the EWS page:
Step one: Restore the printer's network default settings
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless / Scan .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Menu .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Settings .
Use the up and down ATM buttons ( ) to select Restore Network Defaults , and then press OK .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Yes to confirm your selection.
Step two: Networkly connect the Mac to the printer by creating a temporary ad-hoc connection
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select the printer's SSID, it should be listed as HPSETUP or should contain HP or C4700 within its name.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Step three: Connect the printer to your router via the EWS page
Open Safari.
Click the Bookmarks icon ()
Click Bonjour.
Double click the printer name, the EWS page appears.
Open the Networking tab.
From the left pane select Wireless.
Click the Start Wizard button and follow the steps to connect the printer to your router.
Step four: Reconnect the Mac to your router
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select your router SSID.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Now the printer should be connected to your network.
Open Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and add the printer listed as Bonjour.
btw John Galt - I this it should be spelled as OS X, please correct me if i'm wrong.. ;-)
Hope that helps,
Shlomi
