Just set up a new router, now I can't print to my wireless printer!

Hi, so I'm really frustrated with this situation since I installed OS X Mountain Lion. I have a Samsung SCX-4623FW wireless printer, connected it to our wifi network (router: D-Link N 300 DIR-632). So it's all good, the wireless light is on so I know it's connected. I even printed out a configuration report to find out the IP address. Now my problem is, when I try to add a printer to my MacBook Pro (13" Inch, Late 2011) using the IP address and the following information:
Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD
Use: Samsung SCX-4623FW Series (from Select Print Software...)
It says: Unable to verify the printer on your network.
Unable to connect to '[printer ip address]' due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?
And I hit continue in case the error doesn't affect the wireless installation of the printer, I tried to test print a page on the internet and the status message of the printer says: The printer is not responding.
So I reboot the computer, unplugged and reconnected the router AND modem and still nothing. I reset the settings on the printer, new IP address and everything. Still nothing. I can print via USB but I prefer wireless printing because there are 2 desktops, 2 laptops and multiple devices in the house and it's just not convenient.
Can anybody please help? I'm all out of ideas. Many thanks in advance.

Can any Macs in your home see the printer?
That is to say, is it just Mountain Lion that is having the problem?
What I'm wondering is if this is a router problem, or a Mountain Lion problem?  I'm trying eliminate as many variables as possible.
Do you happen to know if the Samsung printer supports Bonjour (eg. Zeroconf) network discovery protocols?  You could download "Bonjour Browser"
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13388/bonjour-browser>
to see if the Mac can see your printer via Bonjour protocols.
Since you know the IP address of your printer, you could download "WakeOnLan" which will display every IP address is sees on your network, and check to see if it is in the list generated by WakeOnLan (NOTE: I do not want to wake anything up, but WakeOnLan does a really good job of finding and displaying every IP address is sees on the local network).

  • Reset printing system, now I can't connect to the wireless printer

    I have an HP wireless printer that worked perfectly on the wireless network from this computer half an hour ago. the second print job could not connect to the printer, so I reset the printing system (stupidly). Now when I go to "add a printer" in the print and scan menu, nothing pops up. My computer and printer are both connected to the same wireless network.

    The protocol that advertises the printer on the network is called Bonjour. There are currently users who have upgraded to Yosemite that can no longer see the printer, but I've not read about Mavericks users having the same issue.
    One test is to enable the Bonjour browser in Safari. This will then let you test if the Mac can see the HP. To do so, open Safari > Preferences and select the Advanced tab. You will see an entry called Bonjour. Select to show Bonjour in your Bookmarks menu. Then close the Preferences pane and select the Bonjour entry in the Bookmarks menu. Do you see the HP? If no, then using the control panel on the HP, print a network configuration list to determine what IP address the printer is using. Once you have this address, enter this as the URL in Safari. This should result in you connecting to the internal web page of the HP. Does this work?

  • Just got a new router, now iPad having trouble staying connected to wireless

    It seems the wireless connection is sjakey on iPad. At home I never had any problems until recently after getting a new wireless router for the house. iPad sees the wireless network, connects, but often disconnects. Signal strength is fine, but it won;t hold. Any suggestions?
    At my friends house, it sees his network and connects, but only works with email. Safari doesn't work or any app that requires wireless connection.

    Shawn is speculating. None of us know if 2.0.3 will be released in September or indeed ever. 
    Can I ask what type of encryption you are using? WEP, WPA or WPA? 40bit WEP needs a five ASCII character (or ten hex) password to work properly with all devices and 128bit WEP needs a thirteen ASCII character (or twenty six hex) password. It is much more preferable to use WPA though as you can use a password of any length and WPA can't be hacked nearly so quickly as WEP.
    Hope that helps.

  • Got new router, now I can't find my HP LJ5000 on my wireless network

    I recently had FIOS internet installed at my house, it came with a new wireless router which replaced my old one. Since then I have not been able to find my HP Laserjet 5000 over the wireless network. The "add printer" function does not even see it. (It worked fine with my old router, a Belkin.) All other aspects of my network work, including other wireless functions. The HP LJ5000 still works with another Mac that is connected to the router with an ethernet cable.
    At first I thought this was because my laptop was an older iBook running Panther, and was not smart enough for the FIOS router. But now I have a brand new Macbook running Leopard, and the problem is the same, i.e. the network works great except I can't see the HP LJ5000 wirelessly.

    I just found a workaround to my own problem. I created the connection between my laptops and the printer using "IP Printing" instead of "Appletalk." I typed in the exact IP address of my printer and it works now. I think my router assigns IP addresses dynamically, so I may have to redo this every time my printer gets a new IP address, but at least I know how to make it work.

  • Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

    EASY SIMPLE FIX....
    The problem is Google.
    I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
    It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
    Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
    FIX:
    Logon to Google...
    Go into your Google account preferenes
    DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
         (it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
    Thats it. Your'e done.
    Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
    You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
    There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
    (and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
    Hope this helps someone.

  • I set up a new router and the windows machines have no problem with connectivity.  I go through the MacBook Pro's airport assistant and view my network and then enter the WPA2 password.  I get back a message saying the password is incorrect when it is

    I set up a new router and the windows machines connect fine.  My MacBook Pro does not.  I go through the airport assistant and see the network yet when I enter the router WPA password I get a message back saying that the password is incorrect.  And, it isn't!  Very frustrating.  What can I do as I had the same problem after I tried to reinstall my last router.  Again, only on the Mac.  Thanks!

    If you kept the same Base Station name and network name, that can confuse Keychain Access. Either change the Base Station and network name, or open Keychain Access Utility and delete any reference to your Base Station and network name. Make sure you delete from the Login and System keychains.

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

    I am not sure what you mean by "Flash Player for steam"; the only Flash Player installers I know is the ActiveX (for Internet Explorer) and the plugin (for other browsers); you can find both at http://helpx.adobe.com/content/help/en/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player- windows.html#main-pars_header

  • Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch?  I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

    Is the iPhone alarm supposed to sync with iwatch?  I can't get any alarm notifications from my iPhone to my watch. Do I have to just set up whole new alarms specifically in my watch?

    Yes, they should sync. Check the Watch app on the iPhone and look at Calendar - make sure it's set to Mirror my phone
    If it still doesn't work, reset the Watch, restart the phone and re-pair the Watch - fixes a few glitches

  • TS3297 I have just set up a new apple ID account and verified it form my email acount, but i'm still unable to download any apps on my iPhone

    I have just set up a new ID and password - I have received the email to my Email account and all verified.
    But i am still unable to down load any apps on my iPhone or PC message reads " could not sign in"

    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
