Laptop can't locate my C6180 on the network.

I completed a full factory reset to my HPG60t-600.  I tried to use the setup disc that came with the printer but received a "non supported" message.  So then I downloaded and ran the HP printer installation tool (HPPIW).  My printer is connected to the network as verified by its screen confirmation and Network Test Report.  My laptop is connected to the network (as verified by my ability to enter this forum),  However, the computer is unable to locate the printer on the network.  I am using MicroSoft 7 - 64 bit and printer will work when connected to the laptop with a cable.

It most certainly does explain why one wouldn't be able to see others, if it's not configured as part of a workgroup or the automounter isn't running, this single machine will not be able to mount on demand, those shares which are advertised on other hosts.
Macs are not complicated and as I see by your signon, you know something of a root account. I would think you'd feel right at home on a mac under it's covers I myself have been a real Unix sysadmin for 18 years and played on all types of enterprise hardware, believe me, Macs are easy to fiddle with. Most of the time, when someone can't see other machines using the network browser,it's because some tool disabled NFS. Check your /etc/hostconfig for the automounter line and also check in the /Library/StartupItems and make sure NFS gets hit when the box starts.
I know if I kill my automounter, all the network mounting stops.

  • My G5 can't locate other computers on the network

    It's weird it can find the internet and networked printers but NO other computers at all. Furthermore other computers on the network have no problem finding each other or this specific computer.
    Any ideas?
    There are both macs, windows, and a linux based NAS on this network.

    No.  If you did not activate find my iPhone then here's nothing you can do. Lesson learned.

  • Can't access any shares on the network

    Hi,
    As the topic says, I can't access any shares on the network. I've tried connecting to a Iomega NAS, Windows 7 laptop, and a macMini. In the "Shared" list in finder im able to see all the shares, I'm able to click them and see the folders they share, but when I try to open one of the folders I get an error, no matter which share it is:
    +"The operation can’t be completed because the original item for “<folder name>” can’t be found."+
    The shares can all access each other, and they can access my folders. I just can't access any folder on the network.
    I got a mac pro with osx 10.6.2 and have all the latest updates.
    How can I solve this problem?
    Thanks.

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

  • I cannot print from my iPad using airport express. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to airport express thru USB port. My laptop can print with no problem thru the express unit. My lap top is no a mac.

    Good day, my iPad does not seem to pick up my printer. My printer is not AirPrint compatible but is connected to my airport express thru the USB port. My laptop which is windows type connects to the printer via airport express thru bonjour and this work well. My iPad does not pick up my printer thru the airport express. I have read about different software that you can download but this seems to be only if you are using a mac. I know my express is working fine as I can use airplay thru my iPad. Any ideas? I do not want to go to the expense of changing my printer, when there was no mention in the express details that your printer had to be AirPrint compatible or indeed wireless.

    See this article to learn how to print from an iPad to your USB printer when you have a PC.  The PC will need to be running when you want to print from the iPad.

    thanks for the info.  if itunes is applying the wrong path i.e. - forward slashes in path instead of backward slash how will i ever access those songs I've purchased.  it won't let me download them again because it thinks they are on my computer? 

  • TS2734 Can I locate my iPod from the iTunes site?

    You can't. Find My Phone is the only way to locate your phone.

  • How can I locate my iPhone in the Ukraine?

    I go to https://www.icloud.com/#find in order to access the "Find my iPhone" page. All my settings seem to be correct and work perfectly in France. I also activated the Data Roaming, as Cloud needs it to locate the iPhone when there is no Wi-Fi. What else could be wrong?

    If you had "Find My iPhone" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
    If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. You can also tell your iPhone to "Play Sound", "Lost Mode", or "Erase"
    Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPhone" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPhone" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • TS4006 can i locate my phone if the battery has gone flat?

    Can i locate my lost phone on maps if the battery is flat?

    It will give you the last known possition.
    If it was moved since the battery went flat - you cannot.
    If someone "finds" it and charge you may get a new location.

  • Can I disconnect my Iphone from the network and still be able to localize it with find my iphone?

    I my phone was stolen or lost and I turned on Lost mode. Can I still track it if I disconnecte my phone from the network(AT&T).?

    Hello Fraga0714
    The iPhone itself would need to have access to the internet, either your carrier or Wi-Fi, for it to be located using Find My iPhone. Check out the article below for more information if you want more info to track your iPhone if it is lost or stolen.

  • Can't connect to anything on the network

    Since yesterday, I'm unable to access any of the shared Macs and Servers on our network. I wasn't aware of making any changes that might have triggered this, like doing a software update.
    Here are the symptoms:
    In the "Network" pane, when I click on any of the shares, I get the message:
    "The alias "XXXX" could not be opened because the original file cannot be found."
    Also the "My Network" folder is no longer showing up in the "Network" pane.
    When I try to connect using Command-K to bring up the Connect to Server window, trying to connect to any of the favourite IP addresses produces no results: I can select the address and press "connect", but nothing happens.
    I am able to print, and to send and receive e-mail and connect to the Internet, and the Network Status window in System Preferences says that Ethernet is active and all is well.
    Other computers on the network can see and connect to me.
    Any ideas? I've tried a restart (a few of them!)

    Thanks for the suggestions... in the end the only solution was to reinstall the combo update of 10.4.11. Some preference (or something) was just very unhappy - and reinstalling the combo update fixed that.

  • Mac Mini and MacBook can't 'see' each other on the network

    I have an 'old' Mac Mini set up to the Airport Extreme base station via ethernet cable and can happily connect to the internet. I also have a MacBook that connects wirelessly to the AEBS. A couple of things frustrate me..
    Although I can connect to the internet from the Mini the Airport Utility can rarely find the base station so any diagnostics are impossible.
    Also, the two macs are unable to find each other over the network. Both have personal file sharing turned on in the prefs. Occasionally the MacBook identifies my Mini on the network but when I try and connect (clicking on the alias) i get the "the alias XXX's computer could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found".
    This is frustrating as I would like to share/copy files over the network.
    Is there something simple I am missing?

    A couple of things to check.
    The Mini will need to have file sharing turned on.
    And the appropriate holes in its firewall set.
    It should be assigned its IP number by DHCP.
    It should not be plugged into the WAN port on the
    AEBSn.
    Using Terminal (on the mini)
    You should be able to PING the other computer,
    And you should be able PING a computer on the
    internet.
    ie. apple.com
    Hi
    File sharing is on and firewall is off. As I mentioned I have connection to the internet and can ping apple.com. It is not plugged into the WAN port on the AEBSn - the modem is plugged in there. The IP is assigned by DHCP
    I can ping the macbook (when the alias is in Finder) but I get a "connection failed...server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again" when I try to connect.
