HP3050A - wireless printing fine but eprint wont connect?

I've got my HP3050A printing wirelessly from my laptop, but eprint wont work, when I go into the eprint menu on the printer its telling me that it can't connect to the internet...?
I've run a network confoguration page which says everything is connected fine, the printer display is showing the wireless facility is connected with a full signal strength.
Am I missing something obvious??
This is a printer I've had for a few months, which was previously working fine both wirelessly and via eprint, right from the initial setup everything connected fine - however, today it lost the connection and I had to set it all up again, which this time took a couple of attempts.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.

hopelesscase,
It sounds like you need to set a static IP for your printer. Sometimes when you lose connection it has trouble connecting right back for ePrint. Here are the steps to follow to set a static IP and Google DNS using the printer settings:
- Print a Network Configuration Page from the front of the printer. Take a look at  the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to open the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab at the top. then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you should click the radio button for the option that says "Manual IP"
- Then underneath the empty boxes you should see a box that says " Suggest Manual IP" click it
- This should fill in the empty boxes. Now go down to the DNS section.
- Here in the primary or preferred section insert the numbers 8.8.8.8 in the fields
- Then in the secondary section insert the numbers 8.8.4.4 in the fields.
- Go down to the bottom of the screen and click on apply.
Give it a few minutes and then power cycle the printer. When you power the printer back up go ahead and try to connect to web services now.
Let us know if you need any help with this.

    Isaaura - what printer model do you use?
    While opening Safari click the Bookmarks icon and select Bonjour.. can you see the printer listed there?
    (If Bonjour is not listed click Safari > Preferences > Bookmarks and check Bonjour within the Collections section)
    Can you access the printer by typing its IP from Safari?
    If the printer not available only thoguh Bonjour but an be reached by its IP, what router brand and model are you using?
    Templeton Peck - correct me if I'm wrong, the different OS X forums have a dedicated forum for printing and scanning.. as Apple no longer produce printers about the last 2 decades I would assume those forums meant to deal with other manufactures over OS X..

    I doubt that the W-4 has a submit button. If you are using Reader XI (actually the topic of the Reader forum, not this one), you should be able to save it and then print and deliver. If it is set to be submitted by the browser, then it may be your Reader and the browser are not talking properly. If there is a generic URL that you can provide that has the W-4, we might be able to give you more info. A lot depends on what your particular form looks like. Hand carrying it should always be an option.

  • Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue.  I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

    You will need to boot from some alternate boot device to accomplish this, if you did not initialize the drive before installing it.
    If you have another Mac, you may be able to use FireWire target disk mode.
    If your MacBook has a DVD reader and you have a Mac OS X Installer/Utilities DVD, such as the one that shipped with it, you can boot from that DVD, answer only the "what Language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then examine the Utilities menu or the Installer menu and Find Disk Utility.

  • One Pixel Borders Print Fine But Only Display At Magnification

    I've looked around at some other posts on image borders and haven't seen any posts about image borders that print fine but do not predictably display in the PDF. For example, I add one-pixel borders to PNG images I create in SnagIt. I then use FrameMaker (8 and 11) to generate PDFs. When I view the PDFs in Acrobat Standard or Adobe Reader, the various sides of the rectangular border appear differently (some missing, some fat, some thin) until I magnify way over 100 %.
    My document reviewers are routinely telling me I've neglected to add the 1 px border to every side if the images, but they are there--just only visible when the document is printed or when it's enlarged on the screen.
    Are there any tricks for getting Adobe Acrobat/Reader to display these 1 px borders consistenly on screen? I should mention that this is also the case if I generate PDFs from MadCap Flare.

    By all means, blog. But I'm wondering if something along the lines of a petition / open letter format might be more effective in affecting the corporate decision-making process. Those of us affected should discuss and, if possible, get help on who and how to get this addressed. That's why I've asked for advice on who the relevant person is who I should contact. If you've ever worked in a bureaucracy you know that sometimes talking to the right person can save a lot of time and trouble.
    BTW, if the Apple moderators are following this thread, I'd be pleased to know what your thoughts are on this issue. This problem seems fairly common, but only among users of the 1.67 iteration of the 17" PB (as far as I know). We are users who invested a lot of money in the best (& most expensive) mobile hardware that Apple had to offer at the time of purchase. We're probably faithful customers who, in time, will spend a lot more money on Apple hardware in the future. Why squander goodwill over a matter like this?
    It just seems to make sense that Apple would institute a limited recall to fix this known and obvious fault. It's a good idea for us and for them.

  • Hi my mini ipad has locked me out and says connect to Itunes but it wont connect to it

    Hi my mini ipad has locked me out and says connect to Itunes but it wont connect to it

    Try:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Im trying to connect my ipad to my connection at home and its taking the password but still wont connect and doesnt tell me why.i even tried to reset network settings

    im trying to connect my ipad to my connection at home and its taking the password but still wont connect and doesnt tell me why?? .i even tried to reset network settings

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, my guess is that it's a router issue.  You'll need to get administrative access to the router and determine if it has a firewall.  If one is present, turn it off and test the iPad.  If that solves the problem, don't leave it that way.  Turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test again.  Repeat as required.
    For what it's worth, a router firewall can stop iPad communication without affecting computer communication.  I do not understand why the difference.
    Edit...
    I just saw the post from Diavonex.  An off/on is certainly worth a shot.  Leave it off for ten seconds.

  • First page prints fine but subsequent pages expand beyond page border

    When I print a web page or selection that extends beyond one page, the first page prints fine, but the type size on subsequent pages is expanded so that the content extends beyond the right edge of the page. This never happened before I upgraded to Firefox 8, but now happens every time. My workaround is to print one page at a time -- very cumbersome.
    I'm printing to an HP Officejet Pro 8500. I have not changed printer settings since upgrading Firefox.

    Same problem here, but it doesn't seem to depend on the printer. Same thing happens when creating pdf files. It has started witha recent upgrade, not sure however whether this hasn't happened already with version 7. Currently I am using Firefox 8.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8.

  • Airport Express wireless network works fine, but won't connect to Internet

    I had a power outage and since then my Airport Express doesn't connect to the Internet although everything else seems to work. I can see the AE just fine in the Airport Utility. My computer connects to the wireless network provided via the AE, so does my iPhone, so does my wireless printer, and I can print wirelessly from the computer to the printer, so the AE's wireless networking is working. If I directly connect my computer to the ethernet connection that I use for the AE, it connects to the Internet, so I have wired connectivity to the Internet. But somehow, I can't get to the Internet using the wireless network of the AE. Any suggestions on what I should try next?

    Hi there,
    Try to reset your Airport Express (AX), y pressing the little dot on the back of device. Keep pressed for some seconds until it flashes. Start then your Airport Utility and go through the setup process again. This will reset your whole wireless network. This may work for you. Good luck.

  • EPrint job printed fine but cannot remove it from my print que

     I used my computer @ work to print a document to eprint. It printed just fine, but I cannot remove the print job in the que in my laptop (not the computer I used @ work). Because I cannot remove it, I cannot print anything. Help

    Hi Msdelta,
    I have a couple of questions for you.  When you sent the document to the printer did you use the ePrint email address?  When you refer to que are you logging into your ePrint account and checking your ePrint history?  Are you speaking of your print que on your computer?
