IOS 5 won't find HP 6500A printer?

Upgraded to iOS 5 and iPad2 will no longer find HP Officejet 6500A printer. Worked fine automatically before upgrade. Something I need to change?

Hi rhse654,
I would recommend:
Unplugging your printer and router.
Clear out all apps from the multi-tasking section of your iPad.
Verify in the Settings app of your iPad that Bluetooth is off.
Plug your router in and allow it to power on fully.
Plug you printer in and allow it to power on fully.
On the printer, navigate to the Setup menu, Web Services Setup, Product Updates, and Check for Product Updates to ensure the printer is up-to-date.

IOS 7 can't find my air print printer where iOS 6 could. Is there a fix?

Air print worked with iOS 6 but not with iOS 7. Is there a fix?

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off.
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

My hp laptop won't accept my hp 6500a printer's ip address

Are you trying to install the HP software and the IP address entry page still does not find the printer?
If the printer still has the same IP, it should work, but there may be things that block it. What router are you using? What operating system? What antivirus?

Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7. Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

Air print in iOS 7 is not finding previously identified hp printers

Airprint under iOS 7 is failing to recognize previously identified HP printers. It has seen the printer on occassion, appears to recognized the scanner component, but then it has dissappeared, with no apparent reason. They are just not being seen and held. I have tried all the standard tricks. Reinstalled drivers. Turned off the various devices, printers, etc., in different sequences then reintroduced them, yadda, yadda, yadda... I have not cleaned out anything of the iOS that may have lingered such as some type of plist thingy, as that is a morass I don't really want to get into. Clearly a change in the iOS and how it finds AirPrint Printers, and holds on to them. Any suggestions on how to make it stick.

Hi markfrombethesd,
I see you're experiencing some issues since updating to iOS 7 on your Apple device and are now having issues with Airprint. I will certainly do my best to help you get this to stick! I have a document here that will walk you through quite a few different steps for any Airprint issues (it may appear to be for a specific printer, but it will work for any printer).
If you reach the end of that document and are still having the same issues I'd like you to look through this document as well, as it has a few different steps.
If after both documents your issue remains the same, you may have to try using the ePrint feature as opposed to Airprint until Apple releases an update to iOS 7. If you're not sure what ePrint is or how to set it up, click here and this document will get you in the right direction.
Hopefully all of this helps, please let me know if there's anything else I can do! Have a great day!

HT4623 my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?

my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?

the computer is a macbook pro, mac os x 10.6.08 and the ipod touch is ios 6.0.
the problem is that just updated the itunes on the computer and now the ipod won't connect because apparently the itunes on the ipod is not up to date but the iod is telling me that is is up to date, so i can't do a software update.

Suddenly My iphone 4s does not find my wireless printer and sometimes can't find the server.

All of a sudden My iPhone 4s cannot find my wireless printer and cannot connect to the internet all of t he time.

Hi dbutkow,

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2, I can't print from my iPhone 5s. My iPhone 4s and iPad continue to print. When I try to print to either printer, the message reads,"contacting printer," and then, "preparing to print." But nothing prints.

Following ultimately helped me : Make sure that you are logged in at the App Store App or iTunes App with your apple ID and password with a US account. Turn your iPad off and on and than you should see the Radio button again. It won't work if you are logged on with a foreign account. If you are not logged in at all, it worked, too.

HP Officejet 6500A Printer will not connect to WPA wireless network.

An HP Network Configuartion Report from my printer states that the printer's Authentication Type is WPA-PSK. My router is WPA2 or WPA and won't connect to the printer. What is the solution to this problem?

Hi DWILKEN welcome to the Forum,
I understand that you are trying to get your printer connected to your router. I will try my best to help you do this. In this document for Installing the Printer Software on a Wired (Ethernet) or Wireless Network (Using an Access Point) are the steps needed to install the printer on the router. In order to connect them you will need to connect the printer to the wireless network before trying to install it on your computer.
Here is a document on How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Network as you will need this to connect your printer to your router.
I hope this information helps, let me know how it goes.
Thank you,

Hi,
For ALE/IDOC the medium will be either ALE or EDI but not printer.So it might be wrongly attached.As such there won't be any printer attached to idoc.

PC won't ommunnicate with WIFI Printer

I have an HP 5060 J610 WIFI printer tht I have been using frequently. To day the PC won't communicate with the printer, up to and including not allowing me to delete the priner/driver and re-create it.
I can print to the printer from my iPhone, an iOS device, as well as my Nook tablet, an Andriod device. Further, fom the PC, I can point my web browser to the IP address of the Printer and via HP's Embedded Web Service, successfully print to the printer.
In short, there is no problem with the printer. I beleive there is a OS lock on WIFI port of the PC. FYI - I'm running Windows 8.1.
How can I see/work-with the ports?
Any suggestions would be helpful.

If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

My 6500A prints photos far too dark - how do I get round this????

My 6500A prints photos far too dark - how do I get round this???? I can't find any OBVIOUS way of controlling this.

Same problem with the same printer here.
When I send a photo from my phone (via ePrint) the result is not as clear as I would like.
In addition to settings for brightness, I would also like to know if it's possible to change the size of the printed photo. (if you print a photo from windows you'll get a wizzard that lets you choose from different sizes)

"another device is using the same ip address.." - iOS devices won't connect to AEBS wifi.

I've got a Motorola modem/gateway - 3360 from WalMart. I have the AEBS working in bridge mode connecting my iMac & Printer fine, but my iOS devices won't connect.
While troubleshooting & trying all types of settings, I was able to get EITHER the iMac or the iOS devices connected to internet, but not both at same time.
Then I noticed I am getting "another device is using the same ip address.." message.
I have changed the AEBS ip address & had been able to get either the iMac or iOS devices working depending on which ip address I use.
BUT now, all my iOS devices dont connect to the internet regardless of the ip address of the AEBS.
All my iOS devices see the network, and accept the network password, but they do not connect to internet, circle just keeps spinning...
Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks for any assistance,
Dave

It looks like may have to go back to square one and delete my network & set it up from scratch if I don't figure it out.
If you do go this route, I would like to make a suggestion for your consideration, and that is to assign static IP addresses to devices that are "permanent" on your network or ones you want to make sure can be reachable at all times. These (again) would be servers, routers, wireless access points, network printers/scanners, NAS devices, etc.
I would recommend the following IP addressing scheme as a baseline and you are certainly free to deviate in any way you see fit to meet your networking requirements:
Reduce the number of IP handed out by DHCP. By default, most routers will provide 100-200 private IP addresses within their DHCP leasing scope. The AirPort, by default, assigns 10.0.1.2 thru 10.0.1.200 via DHCP. Your Motorola may assign 192.168.0.2 thru 192.168.0.150. Either way, I would reduce this to no more than fifty (50) total which should provide you with plenty of addresses even if you are hosting gaming convention at your home.
I use the following IP address scheme for the "permanent" network clients:
Network Printers: 10.0.1.200 - 209
NAS Devices: 10.0.1.210 - 219
Wireless Access Points or routers reconfigured as bridges: 10.0.1.220 - 229
Servers: 10.0.1.230 - 239
With the "permanent" devices pre-assigned with static Private IP address that are outside of the DHCP range, you shouldn't ever get an IP address conflict again.

Hello MartyTheArtist,
May I know you installed Basic Print Driver or Full Feature Software?
I am not holding 7110 printer but I have access officejet 6700 and Photosmart 7510.
Anyway, you should able to see the similar print options if you did install full feature software.
When you print, under the print advance options, there is an option called. "HP Real life Technologies". You may on this option and it will "automatically remove redeye in photographs and to automatically adjust high-contrast photos to reveal details that are otherwise lost in shadows. I have attached the screen shot for your reference."

I am an amteur photographer and personally, I do prefer to do post processing jobs in Photoshop first and then use the printer just to print by choosing the apporopirate photopaper and using Best Mode.
May be you might have differnet preferences way of doing it. I am just sharing my way of printing photos
By the way, when you install Full Feature Software, you have the option to install HP Photo Creation Software which is very simple and easy to create greeting cards, photo books and many other things. Maybe you might give it a try if you have not tried.
Kindly let us know if you have more queries
Cheers,
Bryan

If you were able to access the AX using the AirPort Utility but your PC is still not able to connect. I would try performing a "factory default" reset on the AX to see if that helps before going to the store. This type of reset will put the AX back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration which would broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a network name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. If your PC still cannot "see" or connect to this network, then a visit to the store would be in order.
