I need help adding my printer to my home wireless network

My printer was shut down for several months. When i turned it on it was not longer connected to my wireless network. It recognizes my SSID and that of other wireless networks in the area. But I cannot get it connected to my home wireless network.
When I enter my passphrase it returns error "passphrase invalid." If I use the Push Button or PIN set-up I get the error message "WPS timed out."
I have followed the instructions useing the HP Printer set-up disc. It worked on one computer today (it printed a wireless network test report). But, then I could not find the printer on the network later. I also noticed the report does not show a IP address for the printer.
I have also been online with my internet provider and we changed my passphrase 11 times and the printer never recognized any of them. I am operating another printer wirelessly on the same system. By the way, shutting the other printer down did not seem to work. But, they both worked on the network previously.I have also added and deleted the printer several times.
The printer I am trying to add is a HP Photosmart Premium Web C309n-s
I am using a Windows 7 Operating System 64-bit on my laptop and Windows XP 32 bit on the other computers on my home wireless network,
Please help.

Does this help? http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03112838&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...

I would like to add my Deskjet F4480 printer to my home wireless network. How can this done?

I have a Linksys wireless router that is the hub of my home wireless network. I have been successful in adding a HP OfficeJet 6500 All-in-one Printer an old HP DeskJet 890C that I purchased in 1997 with a computer running Windows 95. The HP 890C has been my tireless workhorse throughout my two kids K-12 school as well as printing reams of paper during my MBA...and guess what: it still works. However, my daughter has just returned home from college and she has a HP DeskJet F4480 printer/scanner that she would like to add it to the home network. I have been researching the problem, but haven't been successful in finding out if this printer is compatible to add to a wireless network. Or simply, will a 802.11g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter suffice? I am also adding a new Windows 7 laptop in the network, that will need to print to this F4480. I patiently await the forum's response.

My mistake, it seems that price was a deciding factor when I purchased the F4480 in lieu of a more expensive wireless ready printer-scanner. I will eventually come-up with a solution as I did with the 890C where I have a wireless print server connected directly to the printer serial connection. It seems that backward compatible is still evident, but I am having some problems coming up with the long-lasting HP49 and HP23 tri-color ink packs.
Here is the rub; I don't replace technology because it is out-dated. I upgrade and or repair everything myself. I found warranties not worth the paper their written on and in most cases, the technical support was lacking. My Win95 desktop went thru several major components until I found that it was becoming harder to find software to run with it. I finally replaced it in 2007. Now it seems that there has been a paradigm shift toward utilities that are very hungry for memory, and even if I didn't want to, I am forced to come over to the dark side with a device that has a minimum of 8GB of RAM.

Attempting to share a printer on a home wireless network

Recently changed from DSL to broadband. After connecting a new a new Belkin wireless "G" router to the Time Warner modem and going through the steps to set up a "secure" wireless network, both laptops were, (and still are), able to connect to the internet.
Now for the problem, laptop # 1 has an HP Deskjet 3845 printer hard wired to it, and try as I have, I can't figure out how to have laptop # 2 get access to that printer. I used the following HP recommended steps, always with the same dead end / no connection:
- On laptop # 1, selected share, and assigned an appropriate "name" for the printer in question
- On laptop # 2, selected, add a printer which generated the "add a printer wizard"
-- Selected option 2, a network printer ,or printer attached to another computer
-- Then selected middle button, connect to this printer, (or browse for a printer)
I tried that option two ways:
- Specifying the assigned printer name
- Not specifying the assigned printer name
When specifying the printer name, the following message appears; Windows cannot connect to the printer. Either the printer name is typed incorrectly, (it wasn't, and I double checked and tried several times), or the specified printer has lost its connection the server, (don't have a server / don't understand / know how to react to that comment).
When not specifying a printer name the wizard went into a "printer search" mode, ultimately showing a symbol ,(resembles >-<, followed by the words; Microsoft Windows Network.
Can anybody shead light on my situation?

Hi,
The first thing to do is to turn off your firewall while you are setting it up. That can save you some grief. Turn the firewall back on afterwards.
Follow the instructions at this Microsoft web page.

Need help adding schedule to xcode 4

I need help adding a tour schedule for an iphone app building an app for 13 djs and they want thier tour schedules added these need to be updated monthly is there a way to add this????

I don't know if this is the easiest way but it works for me. I connect the DVD player to my camcorder (so it's the 3 plugs yellow/red/white on one end and a single jack into the camera). Then I connect my camcorder to the computer (I think it's through a firewire port). Then I just play the DVD and the footage is digitized via the camcorder and I import it into iMovie 4 as it's playing. I believe the camcorder is just in VCR mode.
I have also used this method to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs via the camera by connecting the VCR to the camera.
I haven't had much luck with movies over about 40 minutes on iMovie. But if it's home movies, there may be a logical break. Do maybe 20 minute segments (it's also really easy on iMovie to add a soundtrack if these are OLD films with no sound.
As you can see, I'm low tech!
Good luck!

I can't connect to wifi network and bluetooth on iPhone 4S. Need help. Have already rebooted everything and reset network setting

I have the same problem; tried a phone restore, both restoring data and setting up as new phone with factory settings, reset all settings, re-boot, remove apostrophe, put in fridge, you name it!
I think there's quite a few iphone 4s users with the same problem!
I called Apple they said it's a hardware problem, but it has worked for nearly two years; they say go to the Apple store and they can provide a replacement phone for approx. £150!
I've been into the O2 shop where I bought it and they knew the problem exactly; said they had sent a few phones off for repair and had them back awith a report they cannot fix it because it's a software problem!
An assistant in the shop had the same issues; logic says it's a software problem and hopefully Apple will fix it with a patch but at the moment they seem to be avoiding everyones comments!
If anyone else has any ideas these would be appreciated?

Connecting Printer to a new Wireless network (changed network provider)

I have recently changed broadband provider and I am struggling to connect my printer (HP Deskjet 3050A All in One Printer) to my new wireless network.

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
The easiest way to deal with this may be to install (reinstall) the Full Feature Software for the printer onto your computer.
The installation procedure includes a connection process that might resolve the issue for you without adding any more stress to the situation.
Along with the basic instructions and install videos, you can find lots of helpful Troubleshooting / Howto help at the printer's website support pages.
TIP: You do want to disconnect the USB cable from the printer before you install / reinstall the software.
General Instructions to Install the Printer Software
Reminder:
In most cases, the Solution Center has been replaced by the Printer Assistant.
The Printer Assistant shortcut will be installed on your Desktop during the last part of the installation.
Windows Operating System:
Create Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Open HP Drivers & Downloads
Enter your Printer Model information
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
OR
Open HP Deskjet 3050A e-All-in-One Printer series - J611
Select your Printer from the “Results” list
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
Click NEXT and Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
Be sure to look for Updates as needed for your installation. If available, you may download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities.
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:
Look at the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer for helpful videos to assist with the installation of the printer software!
Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
If using a USB connection: Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
Ethernet: Connect the printer to the network and (Optional) assign the printer an IP address at the router. Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is switched on and then install the printer software.
After the initial installation is complete and working, check / install Category - Update
There is valuable information at the support website, including sections for Manuals, Troubleshooting > How-to, Troubleshooting > Solve a Problem, plus alerts and notifications for your printer. Be sure to take an extended look at what is available. Bookmark the page.

Configuring a printer through a wired printer server over a wireless network.

Hi, I have a home wireless networks setup via a netgear wireless router. I have an old HP Laserjet 4 that is connected via a parallel printer port to a Netgear PS110 printer server. The printer server is connected via Ethernet to the wireless router. How do I configure my Macbook Pro (Mac OS X 10.7.5) to talk via the wireless router to the printer server, and to configure a driver that will work with the old HP. On all of my PCs (Windows 7/XP/Vista) I can see the device on the network and assign a printer driver to it. I am new to the Macbook world and would appreciate some guidance. How do I get the Mac to recognize the server on the network? How do I specify an HP specific driver for the printer. If I need to install some third party driver for this older printer, how do I do that?

Which os do you have?
Check Apple's Knowledge Base for Printer Troubleshooting solutions and suggestions for your particular os.

You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both. Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network

Need to configure Airport connection to access corporate wireless network.
Have imported my certificate from Windows XP machine into keychain and made Leopard always trust in order to authenticate automatically into my corporate wireless network. Also attempted to establish a new 802.1x connection via network preferences without any success. It keeps asking me for username and password even though we used self-generated certificates to log into corporate wireless network. Does anybody have any instructions on how to successfully configure certificates in Leopard?

Welcome to the discussion area, jackregan!
You'll need to "hard reset" the Time Capsule and then reconfigure it again. To do this, you will hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly, keep holding another second or two and then release.
The "hard reset" will not affect the data on your Time Capsule
Now you can open AirPort Utility and configure the Time Capsule using wireless (be sure to log on to the default network which will have a name like Apple Network xxxxxx), or you can connect an ethernet cable from your computer to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to have AirPort Utility communicate with it that way.
When you open AirPort Utility, click Continue to follow the guided setup to re-configure your Time Capsule. You would choose the option to "Create a wireless network" when you are given the configuration options.

Need Help Adding Network Printer

I am trying to add a network printer on a Solaris (Sun OS 5.6) system. I am doing this using lpadmin as outlined in volume 2 of the system admin guide.
The printer appears on the system, but when I try sending a print job, I get the message 'Segmentation error - core dumped' and nothing prints on the printer.
I have added the printer to the etc/hosts and can ping it o.k.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is info missing from your post that I like to have when considering these issues, so here is what I'm assuming:
You used the command:
lpadmin -p printername -v /dev/null -m netstandard -o dest=printerhostname -I contentype -T printertype
(note: I like -m netstandard instead of
-i /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard because I'm lazy! they mean and do the same.)
You have the latest version of patch 106235 for lp, which I believe is -09
This is perhaps not the first printer or first attempt at adding a printer on this host.
Possibly this machine was upgraded from a previous version of Solaris?
If you can find the core file (it may be where you issue the lp command or in the /var/spool/lp/tmp directory), you can use the adb command to at least extract the name of the binary that is coring:
adb core
This could be several things that could require anything from a spool clean to an remove and reinstall of the print packages. Any more details you can provide? Perhaps the output of lpstat -p printername -l? Does this happen with any printer you create?
