HP Photosmart Plus B209 not working no more

My printer worked just fine and then one day it just stopped. I have a wireless router and could print from my laptop one day and then nothing.  I've tried all the guided solutions and uninstalled and reinstalled software.  An error will pop up that says that the two way connection isn't working. My router is working just fine for my laptop and my kids game systems??  Any suggestions?  In my printer menu, I show like 5 printers and one of them was flashing "upgrade" and then that's when all of a sudden I can't print.  Doucument failed everytime and now it's failing on start up???

Have you connected the printer to the network? Make sure the printer has a IP ADDRESS or a SSID in its settings.
1. Click Setup
2. Wireless/Network
3. Then click VIEW WIRELESS SUMMARY
If it says, no connection, you will have to go back to the Wireless Setup Wizard, and connect printer to the network.

  • Photosmart Plus B209 printout doesn't match screen

    I always have a problem when printing out images with my HP Photosmart Plus B209 All in One.  For instance, I make 2 in x 2 in images for passport photos.  I create the images in a digital editing program in a 2x2 size and then drop them into MS Word for printout.  On the screen, the picture size shows as 2 in x 2 in, but when I print it out, the picture is closer to 2 1/16 inches x 2 1/16 inches.  And if I print a borderless 8.5 in x 11 in and the image has a frame, often either one of the sides or the bottom of the frame is cut off some.  I have tried Scaling, Not Scaling, Fit Image to Page, Print 100%.  I also have this problem with Microsoft Publisher when printing a banner.  Although the Print Preview shows perfect alignment, when I print them out they don't quite match.  Does anyone know what I might be able to do to fix this problem?  I always do a scan and alignment when I change my cartridges and the quality of the print is great, but it just doesn't seem to print at the right size.  It's not off by much, but enough to ruin the effect of certain images.  I'd appreciate any feedback that someone can give me on this.  Thanks so much.

    Page 7 of the manual only references WPA and not WPA2.  I did search the manual for mention of WPA2 and did not find any.  This indicates it does not support WPA2, so this could be an issue.  However, this typically does not prevent the printer from seeing the network but only connecting to it.
    While the wireless radio is more than likely functioning, it may be best to confirm it is working since it is not seeing the SSID.  Go to setup>network> wireless network test.  
    Does it show anything as failed?  If so, what items are marked?

  • Photosmart Plus b209 - won't see networks, won't run WPS, wireless light ON

    Hello.
    So I've had a Photosmart Plus b209 for the past three years. Never had a problem. Suddenly I switch my router to a Linksys e2500 and everything stops working.
    I've printed network tests; my printer has no IP address, even when I revert to factory settings. Though the printout tests indicate the printer can "see" my network, I am not able to get it to detect it via the touch-screen menu. WPS also refuses to work, either prompting an error message or a time-out. The wireless light has been on this whole time.
    I'm on a Mac, running OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion). I'm starting to get very frustrated. What can I do?

    Status of the blue wireless light on the printer, on, off blinking?  Verified you are connected to your SSID with correct password?  What is the IP of the printer? 
    Say thanks by clicking the Kudos Thumbs Up to the right in the post.

  • Photosmart plus b209-a passes all diagnostic​s, sends files to printer- but never prints them

    I have a photosmart plus b209-a set up on our wireless network.  we love it when it works.  But the problem is that even though it will pass all diagnostics- whether tools installed on the computer or using the online tests- it still won't print.  I've gone through the network utilities and the printer diagnostics and they both say all clear, but both times when I tell it to print a test page nothing comes out. 
    I have opened the document que when sending files to the printer, and the file will pop up for about half a second then disappear, and it won't print.  I have turned the printer on and off with no change.
    Now the really confusing thing- this only happens about 60% of the time. As I write this post, I have been trying to print from my computer on the network without success.  My wife just tried on her computer, and it is printing for her.  Sometimes it's the other way around and mine will print and hers won't.  It's not an ink thing or that my computer isn't on the network- as I've said the diagnostic utility shows the printer online and ready to use, it just won't print the thing.

    good questions-
    nothing between my computers and the router, they and the printer are about 15 feet from the router.
    Neither computers are upgrades of vista- one is XP sp3, the other is win7 home. 
    All utilities ran say the signal strength is good, and both computers will sometimes print and sometimes not, then after a reboot of the printer it will be a new situation with each one- changes all the time.
    Thanks for looking into this with me- I appreciate the help!

  • Connect hp photosmart plus b209 printer to verizon fios wireless router

    Having trouble connecting HP Photosmart Plus B209 printer to verizon fios wireless router in order to access printer via home wireless network.  The WPS (push button) connection option is not available on the current software version of router (VERIZON M1424WR rev.1  (Mfg. ACTIONTEC)).  So, need to know how to connect via the PIN option.  
    Normally, to connect a wireless device (like this HP printer) to the network, the device would input the router's security pin (e.g. WEP key).  But I can't figure out how to input the router's WEP key via the printers face screen.  And, after talking to Verizon, there is no provision to enter the printer's pin within the router's control setup online.  
    Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    hello, friend.
    i will still research the subject.  but the first thing that comes into my mind is t-code VA05.  with this, you have the option to change the Plant en masse.  so a possible workaround is for you to list a number of sales orders using VA05.  you then sort the line items by Plant.  choose all items with the same plant, change the plant via mass change... then change back to the original plant.  hopefully, the new settings should apply.
    do test a few sales orders by doing this for a larger scope.
    regards.

  • Adobe Acrobat Pro Licence is not working any more

    Hi, Adobe Acrobat Pro is not opening any more and giving the error "Licence is not working any more". I have a CS4 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. I tried all the suggestions in the Help Forum. What remains is to install CS4 again. Is there any risk doing that? Or is there any other option. Best, Felix

  • Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help.

    Hello, the 'Save As' dialog box used to allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory when the focus is in the folder contents box but it does not work any more, please help. BTW the same 'Save As' dialog in other applications still allow the backspace button to go up one level in the directory.

    cor-el,
    I kept forgetting and procrastinating about following your instructions, since I have internet access only for limited amounts of time and usually I am busy with important tasks when I am.
    Out of the blue, the problem corrected itself (the Save As box started to open full screen, then shrunk down to a normal size and the edges can now be dragged to a custom size).
    Even the copy and paste problem in the filenaming area seems to have been less troublesome lately even though there have been no updates to Firefox in a few weeks.
    Even though I marked the solution as not helpful, the problem has in fact been resolved. I will save the solution instructions in case the issue returns.

  • Search in saved preview .pdf files not working any more

    When I download a .pdf file from the internet and open it in preview, the search command works ok. When this same file is saved to disk and opened again, search is not working any more. Is this a bug, or my fault. Regards Rolf

    Hi,
    I hope this helps...
    A while back we have more than one browser running on our PC (IE, Firefox, Chrome) and we messed by how Acrobat views documents over the web.
    I think that this has some relevance here, as around this time LC also started falling over previewing forms.
    Now if we open LC and Acrobat is not running, the "Preview PDF" is not present or accessible. So now we fire up Acrobat before we open a form in LC Designer and the preview tab is there and functioning.
    Not much of a workaround; but I am hoping that someone will have a better one!!!
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly

    After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.

    You are welcome.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Some people have solved this by restoring their previous driver from their backup.

  • W510 - nVidia 880M - GPU throttle not working any more

    Hi everybody,
    my W510 (2 month old) used to throttle down the GPU from maximum performance (550/790 MHz GPU and Memory) to lower values (135 Mhz or something) when the GPU was nearly in idle mode. I don't know when it sopped working, but today I realized the GPU staying in high performance mode all the time.
    I tried the things below but none worked so far:
    - changing through the different power schemes
    - updating the video driver with Lenovo update tool
    - installing the video driver from nVidia (using clear install option)
    It has to be a software issue since I can manually change the clock using a tool called Powermizer Manager. But the "Auto" mode is not working any more. I watched the GPU clock with GPU-z.
    Any ideas where I might have a look? I'm currently running the most recent Lenovo video driver.
    Thanks,
    Andy.

    This is the response from AirDisplay ==>>>
    Hello,
    My apologies for this issue. It's a bug we are aware of. It stems from an issue with OS X. Certain Macs that have a third party video driver installed will exhibit this issue. So, it's not just Air Display that causes this problem but other apps like Display Link, AirParrot, etc. will also have this issue. Apple has contacted us regarding the problem and they're looking into it. It's not actually something we or those other third party developers can fix. Apple has to address the issue with OS X. Hopefully they'll fix it soon.
