  • Trying to connect my c4795 printer to a wireless connection

    I am unable to connect my printer to the wireless router in my home.

    Welcome to the HP Forums ashleyanderson8,
    I see by your post that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network.
    I can help you with this issue.
    I have provided the steps for setting the printer up through Adhoc, then to Infrastructure so the printer will be on the network.
    On the right bottom corner of the computer, click on the wireless icon and connect to the printers network name.
    (it might take a minute or so to show up)
    Once you get a solid blue wireless light on the printer, print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
    Printing a Network Configuration Page.
    Type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar.
    This will open the printer's network page.
    Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
    Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the left hand side to begin configuring the printer.
    If yours doesn't have the Wireless Setup Wizard, then select Wireless 802.11, just fill out the network information.
    Type in the SSID. (your network name)
    Select Infrastructure.
    Select encryption type. (WEP, WPA or Open-no passwords)
    Apply the settings.
    You have now completed the Wireless configuration.
    Now go back to the wireless icon on the bottom right corner of the computer and click it, select your network name from the list.
    If the software is already installed for a USB connection, then go to start, all programs, HP, Printer, select Printer Setup & Software Selection, select connect a new printer.
    If the full software wasn't already installed, install it now.
    If there is anything else that I can help you with just let me know.

  • Trying to connect a second printer (this one wireless) through airport extreme.

    I am such a dufus about anything related to setup!  Can I have two printers on my network, one connected by a cable and one wirelessly?  I just purchased a second printer for my home office so that I can access both printers from my MacBook Air.  The second printer is a Brother wireless one, and am trying to do the setup but can't figure out how.  I got to the step about the printer needing to "detect which mode - WiFi Protected Setup Mode or AOSS - your access oint/router uses...I pushed the little wireless setup button at the back of airport extreme, but keep getting an error message that says the printer "cannot detect a WLAN access point/router that has WPS or AOSS enabled." 

    Hello Gee Money. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Chances are pretty good that the signal from the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) down to the MacBook may not be sufficient three floors down.
    I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. Use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to determine the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) at different points around your house, by performing a simple RF site survey. Within the Inspector, note the values for "signal" & "noise" at these locations. Start with your MacBook near the AEBSn, note the readings, and then, choose the locations where you will typically use your MacBook to access the Internet ... especially the location three floors below.
    SNR is the signal level (in dBm) minus the noise level (in dBm). For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    The SNR, as measured from the MacBook, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    SNR Guideline
    o 40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    o 25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    o 15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    o 10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    o 5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If the SNR is 20dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable performance from your AirPort. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either the base station or the wireless clients until they are within a 20dB SNR range.

    I have a Canon LBP5360 laser printer connected via USB cable to my MacPro running 10.6.8 
    I have downloaded the latest UFR II driver. (UK Version)
    I am trying to connect to the printer but the printer is not  appearing in my Print/Fax Preferences.
    When I click the box "More Printers" under the Default printer the drop down box gives me a heading "Canon IPv6 (UFRII) with the option to add or cancel. (The add is highlighted). But there are no printers showing in the box. Nothing. Can anyone help?
    Is there a problem with my Mac setup or maybe a setting in my printer?

  • I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it.  The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac.  Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to connect a LAN printer, HP Color Laser Jet 3800dn, through a Time Capsule but no one on the network can see it.  The printer works fine if I connect it directly to my iMac.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Clark
    There is a good chance the printer is just getting auto IP internally..
    Plug it into your TC. And then set to dhcp via the controls on the printer.
    If you know the name of the printer it should be immediately available to the network.. but anyway, you can find its IP by printing out the test page. That will also give you the network name.
    Most later HP printers have web access to the print servers.. just type the ip into your browser and see if it comes up. 
    From the Mac, you should then be able to set it up via the printer preferences. Most HP will just appear.. but if not you should perhaps delete the local version and then check again for network printers.

  • Hp6700 Printer: can't connect to D-Link DI-514 Wireless Router when Broadcast SSID is set to NO.

    HP6700 Printer:  can't connect to D-Link DI-514 Wireless Router when Router Broadcast SSID is set to NO. My MAC LapTop and HP LapTop both work with the SSID set to NO. If I change the Wireless Router to Broadcast SSID is YES, then the HP6700 Printer can connect to the Wireless Router. I setup the Printer telling it what the SSID and Password were, the same as both of my LapTops, but it never connects, unless I change the Router to broadcast the SSID. Help!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Did you try updating the firmware on the DI-514?
    You can also try setting a static IP on the printer, then assign the printer to the static DHCP list in the router interface.
    To give your printer a static IP address:
    - 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 will have delete and re-add the printer on your Mac.

  • Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.

    Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.  TP-link wired/wireless router.  Ultimate goal is to send music from iTunes on PC to wireless router, then to airport, then to reciever.  The amber light is blinking.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    If I'm understanding right your need and your computer has wired access to your network/router, all you have to do is give your AX wireless or wired access to your network too.
    Wired should be easier.  Just use a network cable to connect to the router.  Power up the AX and look for it on AirPort Utility, do so without changing any of your computer settings.  If it's visible, then on iTunes your AX should be visible on the AirPlay icon at the bottom-right corner.
    If you want to connect your AX to your router wirelessly I would suggest to reset your AX settings by pressing and holding for a few secs the reset button next to all the ports.  Once it is reset, using your computer try to look for the wireless network it'll be creating, it should be something like Apple Network 4341eb.  Join that network and, using the AirPort Utility, configure your AX as a network client.  Go to Wireless > Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network.
    Select your router wireless network from the drop-down menu, select the appropriate security and type in your password.  Click update.
    It'll restart and automatically join your network.  Have your computer join back your router network and, again, in iTunes bottom right you should be able to see the AX speakers.
    Let me know if this worked.

  • Trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network.  It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect.  Any suggestions?  We have an Airport Extreme.

    I am trying to connect our exercise bike to our wireless network.  It sees the network, but once pass phrase is put in, it won't connect.  Their tech support said the problem is with the router and we may need to open ports 80, 443 and 4348.  We have an AirPort Extreme and I scanned for open ports and found 80 already open but the others are not.  Tried using Port Mapping, putting the port number 443 in both the Public UDP and TCP fields and the Private UDP and TCP fields also.  The Private IP address defaulted to 10.0.1.201 which is right outside of the DHCP range.  Will this be the IP of the bike or should I change it to something else?  Are the values I put in the fields totally wrong?  Bike is still not connecting.  Thanks for any help!
    

    Here's an update:
    Now the light is not blinking. It's a solid, consistant green. I don't know if it helps to narrow it down or anything, but I just figured I'd mention it.

    The ZyXEL P-2601HN-F1, as you know, is a combination DSL modem & 802.11n wireless router (or gateway device).
    For your goal you will want to take a look at this Apple Support article for details on how to configure an AX for iTunes.
    If you are still having difficulties with the AX joining the ZyXEL's wireless network, you can try the following:
    Temporarily disable wireless encryption.
    If you are hidding the SSID, disable that feature.
    Change the Mode Select setting to: 802.11g Only
    Change the Channel Selection from "Auto" to a set channel, like 1, 6, or 11

  • What are the settings for connecting to a Mac behind a wireless router?

    I have a client with an iMac. His Mac connects to the internet through a wireless router which gets its signal from a cable modem. My Mac is running 10.6. The remote iMac is running 10.5.
    How do I configure my Mac (Administrator) and the remote iMac so a connection can be made using Remote Desktop.
    Thanks!

    In the AirPort Utility, I selected the Advanced tab, and then selected Port Mapping.
    Q: What service do I choose from the drop-down menu? Also, where do I enter the two ports you mentioned? Public UDP Port(s)? Public TCP Port(s)? Private IP Address: Private UDPPort Private TCP Port?
    still confused, I guess. Thanks!

    There are a number of extremly dubious sites which claim to offer Drivers for common Hardware, but actually are phishing for identies and credit card numbers and candidates to join a bot-net.
    Make absolutely certain you load drivers ONLY from the manufacturer's web site.

  • Trying to connect to a printer through a windows shared printer

    I have two printers connected to a Windows machine. On that machine I have shared both printers. A Brother and a color HP 3600N. When i go into print setting and try to set them up I can see both.
    I connected to the Brother Printer and it is working fine.
    I tried to connect to the HP 3600N but the print driver was not available for that machine. I went to HPs web site and downloaded the driver and did the install. I rebooted and tried again. Still the HP 3600N driver was not showing up.
    I tried using two other print drivers the 3500 and the 3700. With both I was able to "connect" to the printer, but the printer only printed garbage.
    In order to make sure the printer was working with the Mac. I disconnected it from the PC and directly connected it to the Mac. It found it immediately and the 3600N driver appeared...the printer worked fine.
    I then disconnected it from the mac and reconnected it to the PC...rebooted etc.
    Then i tried to find the printer again. Once again that print driver 3600n was not available.
    How can I over come this. I need to have both printers connecting to the PC for now
    Thanks
    Mark

    Look at the printer sharing instructions on the invaluable iFelix Tech Notes site.
    If problems persist, check System Preferences -> Sharing -> Firewall -> Advanced and if necessary clear/uncheck the options to block UDP traffic and enable stealth mode; as long as you're behind a NAT router, those options aren't essential. Windows does seem to put out a slew of UDP traffic, and I've found that blocking UDP/enabling stealth mode block my home eMac from seeing the Windows machine to which a shared HP printer is connected.

  • WRT54GC config to connect a wired-printer on existing wireless network

    Hello everyone,
    I hope someone can help me with the following issue :
    - I have an existing wireless network at home, set up with a wireless router/dsl connection
    - I now have been given a wired-printer, and I'd like to connect my printer to the existing wireless network, using a WRT54GC device.
    I have been trying for a while, and I believe but can't manage to configure the device do this, and didn't find this in the forum yet.
    As anyone already done this successfully ?
    Thank you

    What is the make and model of your printer?  What type of connections does it have -- ethernet port?   USB port?  Parallel port?
    If your printer has an ethernet port, you can wire it directly to your router.
    If your printer has only a USB port, you will need a printer server such as the Linksys WPS54G, WPSM54G.    These devices will allow you to use the printer as a wired or wireless printer.  Both of these devices support USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
    I do not recommend the Linksys PSUS4 (wired print server with 4 port switch), because it only supports USB 1.1
