HT2421 set up wireless printer connection

Requesting assistance with required steps to set up wireless printer connection

This would be a starting point.. I cannot see the later articles..
But the method is basically the same..
I have only done it using the manual method.. ie plug the printer into a computer by USB.. and run through the setup wizard CD.. supplied with most printers.. to set them to infrastructure mode to the wireless of the TC.
It works fine for all the printers i have tried.
So read the instructions for the printer for Mac installation.

    Hw do I add a mobile device to my all ready set up wireless printer, I have the C410A all in one printer.

    Hi,
    The printer is connected directly (wireless) to other device or thru the Network ?

  • Problems setting up wireless printing

    I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my desk, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wirelessly. I've probably spent 10+ hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.
    This is driving me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a software company and am very computer savvy. Yet my non-techie family members have all managed to set up wireless printing at their homes in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.
    Here are the steps I'm following, though I have also tried numerous variations, such as trying it with my USB cable connected vs. disconnected.
    1) Uninstall current (USB) printer installation.
    2) On the printer itself, verify that Settings > Network Settings are at the defaults.
    3) Using most recent drivers and installation .exe from the HP website, start a new printer installation.
    4) When prompted, select "wireless installation."
    RESULT: Even though my firewall is OFF, it searches and says there are no printers on the network. (Huh? What network?)
    5) Try again, and this time select "network installation."
    RESULT: Even though my firewall is OFF, it searches and says it can't detect a network.
    If wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to be installed, I'm not sure where to go from here.
    6) I've also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I get midway through the installation, it tells me it can't find my printer.
    I'm suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may not even allow wireless printing. Some info on the HP website says to check that a particular button lights up to show the printer is online. This light doesn't exist on my printer model. On the other hand, my physical printer's settings has settings like: "display IP address," etc., that would lead me to believe that it can operate wirelessly.
    I have read all of the related HP printer help, and there is nothing that explains in simple language what types of cables I need to set up a network and/or wireless connection, when to plug them in, which installations to perform out of the many add-ons available, etc. I am sure this is a 5 minute process if there was just some good explanation in the UP help of how to do it. Assistance would be appreciated!

    Hello @SKYdiz,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you have had issues for the last 2 or so years and spent multiple hours attempting to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer for wireless printing. At this point I'm going to offer some additional information on this matter. First, are you sitting down?
    Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer is NOT a wireless model printer. The 'nf' at the end of the printer name stands for 'network, fax'. Therefore, while your printer is not wirelessly capable of connecting to your router, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable. 
    All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable from the rear of your printer into your router. Than any devices connected to that same router (either through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print to your printer. For more information regarding the ethernet setup on your printer, please refer to: Setting Up the Printer for a Wired Network in Windows 7 for the HP LaserJet Printers.
    Now if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network configuration, than HP does manufacture other Laserjet models that do use the wireless feature. Here are two Laserjets that are black only, multifunction wireless units that are similar to your current model printer : HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw and HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw.
    Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. Should you have any other questions or concerns I will be more than happy to assist you. Happy New Year!

  • How do I set up wireless printing of my Officejet Pro 8500 on a laptop with Windows 8?

    How do I set up wireless printing from my all in one Officejet Pro 8500 printer to my laptop with Windows 8?

    You can set up your printer for wireless pretty easily if you have the Full Feature Software installed on your computer for your printer.  The setup is done as part of the installation.
    Read through below, then select how you wish to proceed.  There is a video to assist - see below!
                                                               Install Printer Driver / Software
    If your printer stops working (and it’s not a hardware problem), it may be due to software or driver issues.  There are tools to help you diagnose the problem and help documents to guide you to success. 
    You might just desire extra features for your printer, or need extra tools to help with scheduled maintenance.
     In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Softwarefor your printer to enhance its capabilities.  The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.  For e-print, you will want the e-print software.
    If you have the CD that came with your printer, use that to install your Printer software  -- IF the CD is compatible with your current Operating System.  If you do not have the CD, or if the software on the CD is outdated, then you can use the online installation tools.
    (Re)install the basic driver or HP Printer Full Feature Software or other software for your printer:
    Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless)
    Software controls the programs that interact with the User
    Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
     Officejet Pro 8500 Series
    Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
    Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu...  Click NEXT and Scroll down
    Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
    Select the appropriate Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software, as appropriate
    NOTE:  You may also wish to download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other Tools from Category - Utilities
    Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
    Pay attention to the name and the location of the file(s) when you save the file(s).  The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
    You may remove your existing printer software with the following tool.  Fixit is of particular use when the existing printer software is being replaced due to severe problems with the printing program.
    Fixit -- Fix problems with programs that can't be installed or uninstalled
    NOTE:  If you have a recent working version of the Full Feature Software on your computer, you may opt to skip removing the existing printer software in the above separate step.  During installation of your Full Feature Software, when the installer package detects the “old” printer software on your computer, the program will ask you to remove that old software:  The program will then invoke an internal printer software removal program that is written to remove printer software.  Once most of the old printer software is removed, you will be asked to Reboot your computer and log back in.  After you log in, the final bits of the old printer program(s) are deleted and the new software will be installed.  Depending on your system, the whole uninstall and install process might take as much as eight to twelve minutes.
    Remember to Install the programs from Category Utilities first, if applicable, as these are smaller in size.
    Install the downloaded Printer Software package last.
    If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
    NOTES: 
    If using: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
    After the initial installation is complete, be sure to check for and install any relevant updates  - check Category  - Update.  The Updates are important and can mean the difference between software that works as expected and software that does not work.
    You may also wish to check for a Category named Firmware.  Installation of any package in this Catagory is personal choice and must be based on the contents in the package and whether or not your printer is working as expected.

    how do I set up wireless printing between my desk jet 2542 and my computer?

    Hello danamaple,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Depending on the Operating System installed on the computer, setting up the Deskjet 2540 can be done different ways. The easiest and most popular method is to use a USB cable and the printer software to setup wireless on the printer.

  • I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it won't print. What is AirPrint and how do I connect it?

    I have a new Epson wireless printer connected and the iPad recognizes it but it still won't print.  What is AirPrint &amp; how do I connect to it?

    Patti-
    Is your Epson printer on Apple's list of AirPrint capable printers?  See <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356>.
    If it is an AirPrint printer, then your WiFi router may not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  Contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change to its setup or a firmware update, that will make it work.
    One other possibility is that there could be a print job stuck in the iPad's print queue.  Double click the iPad's Home button and a row of recent Apps will appear along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and see if the Print Center is there.

  • Wireless printer connection

    I lost my wireless printer connection. It keeps telling me the printer is "offline" What do I do?

    WHAT TYPE OF PRINTER DO YOU HAVE????
    Try doing the "wireless setup wizard"
    -this usually found in the SETUP menu> wirless(network)> Wireless

  • I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died.  We don't know the password.  How can we get in to set up wireless printing??

    I bought a used Mac Book from the widow of a neighbor who had died.  I am trying to set up wireless printing for a new HP printer and it asks for the Administrators password.  Is there any way to break through this and create a new password?

    Is the Macbook running? If yes, go to Apple Menu About This Mac to find out the version of Mac OS X you are running.
    If the computer is not working, do you know the model, or the version of the operating system on the MB?
    You can track down some information with the serial number. Here's how to find the serial number:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1366
    With the serial number you can identify the model on this site:

             Please, help me to set up wireless Internet connection. My router is WRT54GS. I able to get online when computer is wired direct to VPN internet cable.
    First, I can’t open password request screen on http://192.168.1.1. 
    Second, when "Setup wizard" runs step #6 (“Check the router’s status”), the program asks for the password. Default password “admin” is rejected by the program and I can’t install Linksys software. Just in case I already pressed reset switch on the back of the router but to no avail. 
    Third, I don’t find out my Ethernet Adapter Wireless Network Connection and correct router’s IP address using ipconfig/all command after connecting WRT54GS with my computer. Ethernet adapter: DHCP disabled, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, IP address 10.32.132.193, default gate 10.32.132.1.

  • Can't set up wireless printing to J6480 from MacBook Air

    Jeez, I'm getting frustrated. Usually I'm pretty good at this stuff but I just can't figure this simple thing out.
    I want to print to my J6480 from my MacBook Air running OS10.8.2.
    Am I missing something very simple? The HP article on setting up wireless printing just says, basically, open the HP Device Manager and follow the instructions. I think I downloaded the drivers just fine, but I got no "Hewlett Packard" folder in my Applications folder, I have no Device Manager app, and I can't figure out where to download it.
    Thank you in advance for any help or guidance.

    Hi,
    after many frustrating attempts I've found the solution was incredibly simple - try to check it yourself:
    Open the main Network (System preferences) tab. On the left side you'll see the list of all network devices. Move the Wi-Fi field to the top (first) position in the list (you can do it via the pop-up menu next to the + and - buttons).
    It was all I needed. Immediately after this I've got the access to wireless printing and scanning. No problem since then.
    My configuration is Photosmart 5010 and MacOS 10.8.3, but the action is not printer specific, so it should work for all with the same problem.
    Good luck.

  • Can you print from an iPad to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule

    I just purchase an iPad. Can I print to non wireless printer connected to timecapsule? If yes, what app do I need for the iPad?

    You might want to take a look at Print Central or Printopia.
    PrintCentral for iPad on the iTunes App Store
    Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    I can verify that Printopia works just fine for me on my iPad, but haven't tried Print Central.

  • How do I set up wireless printing to my Airport Express?

    I run my 17" MBP through a DLink wireless router which is located next to my modem in my basement. I have an Airport Express station (not the Base or the Extreme) which I used to use for wireless iTunes serving to my stereo, but which I now wish to use as a wireless print server in my study upstairs. I am not, however, using the Airport Express station for internet.
    I can't find any useful instructions or step-by-step guides to set up a printer on my Airport Express. Can anybody point out how to do this and/or refer me to the appropriate KB article?
    Many thanks,
    Dustin LindenSmith

    Yes but they don't seem to be making it to the post to be deleted Punctuation seems to be a possible cause
    If your goal is to use one network with the AE and your other router online the AE needs to be connected to the modem as the base station as the AE can only be a wireless bridge with an Airport Extreme or connect the AE via ethernet from your other router
    The printing is usually as easy as plugging in the printer and selecting it from your printer list AE is a print server and I use a 4 port hub with 4 printers connected They used to be listed as Rendezvous printers but lately mine are just showing as a connected printer but is printing wirelessly
    Finder > Applications >Utilities > Airport Setup and Airport Admin utilities are pretty straight forward for setting up the routers. I have had and there are still issues being reported with the AE and certain configurations. My first gen MBP1.1 could see it but not connect and my MBP2.2 connected immediately and settings on both machines were the same.
