Laser Jet M1217nfwMF​P wireless and fax stopped working printer works with usb cord

I have an HP computer 64 bit version.  The printer suddenly stopped working wireless, fax stopped working weeks ago.  Printer does work with a usb cord.  Turning it off (removing elec cord) on both computer and printer, didn't help.  Nothing changed that was different to cause either problem.

Hi agueda
I see that your Laserjet M1217 wireless and fax stopped working but the usb connection does work.
I would restore the printers defaults to setup the wireless again.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, select network config, select restore defaults.
Then make sure the wireless radio is turned on.
Touch the setup button (wrench), network configuration, wireless menu, wireless radio-on.
Temporarily connect the usb cable from the printer to the computer and go to start, all programs, hp, laserjet m1217 and select wireless configuration and go through the wizard to reset up the wireless again.
or if your router has a wps button on it then you touch the wps wireless button on the printer and immediately touch the wps button on the router.
Printer should automatically connect to the wireless network.
Run the add printer wizard.
Go to control panel,(win7) devices and printers then click add a printer, next, select network
highlight printer, next, message installing printer.
Should be able to print over  wireless again.
Check  fax connections.
Then run a fax test.
Touch the setup (wrench button) on the printer, service, run fax test.
You should have 4 passes.
Change these fax settings on the printer.

Try sending and receiving a fax.

  • All in one HP Laser Jet Pro 200 Color MFP (M276n) stopped working

    I have an HP Laser Jet Pro 200 Color MFP (M276n) that I had installed and woking fine. 
    I changed my desk and removed the USB from the computer and when I plugged it in again i could not print or use any of the functions through the computer. I'm running 64bit Win 7. 
    I've tried unistalling the printer and downloading the laster driver package from HP.com.
    But when I try installing it and come to where the installationprogram want me to connect the USB-cabel the printer doesn't show up (I can't click "Next" to begin installtion).
    So right know I cant print and I can't reinstall the printer. 
    How do I fix this??

    Make sure the usb cable is plugged in properly, the right port at the back of the printer. If still doean't work, maybe get a new usb cable?

  • Mouse and keyboard stop working with Mavericks

    This has happened twice now since installing Mavericks.
    I'll be working along, and then all of a sudden, I am not able to click with my mouse and my keyboard stops working. I AM able to move the cursor around on the screen. But, I am not able to click on anything and I can't use the keyboard to force quit the finder. The only way to get unstuck is to press the power button on the front of the Mac to shut it down and then restart.
    I am using a wired Apple Keyboard and a wireless Apple Magic Mouse. My Mac is a MacPro 2 x 2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac.
    Like I said. this has never happened before. But it's happened twice since installing Mavericks.

    Everytime I restart my computer, especially for updating maverick, my keyboard and attached mouse (both apple for an Imac) stop working. When I plug in an other keyboard, I can get into my Imac again. Would this SMC apply to this problem as well?
    What should I do?
    thanks, hb

  • Model BEFW11S4 wireless router just stopped working with Mac; still works with Windows

    I have the above model Linksys wireless router, hard connected to a Windows XP Pro desktop unit. I also have a Windows XP Home laptop. My wife has a Mac PowerBook laptop. On Thursday last week her laptop started having trouble connecting to Internet. Problem is intermittent--sometimes can get on and sometimes now. When on it might connect to a web site normally or sometimes takes a long (as in loooooong) time connecting. My XP Home laptop continues to connect quickly and will move from one URL to another easily; no problems. She took the PowerBook to Panera and got on the Internet with no trouble. She was on for at least a half hour and suffered no outage or slow-downs. Came back home; got the same problems as before. Only thing that has changed is a big snow on Thursday, same day as the trouble started. The relationship is probably non-existent, but it's the only thing different from Wednesday (when working well) to Thursday (when started having trouble). Any thoughts? I naturally welcome any responses. Thanks, Michael Plog

    Hello people. I'm having the same weird trouble: I'm having this BEFW11S4 to which I connect via another wireless AP and a switch a Windows XP PC and a MacBook Pro computer (both with Ethernet cable connected to the switch, to which the AP is connected). Both the above computers work seamlessly, but sometimes the other iMac I have in WLAN doesn't surf anymore. It can ping both MacBook Pro and Windows XP PC, but doesn't anymore ping the BEFW11S4. Wireless connection is crypted with WEP-64 bit key. When this is happening, also from the Windows XP PC I cannot get on the web interface of the BEFW11S4. It seems to be "locked" somehow. After unplugging the power and re-plugging it in, everything works again also on the iMac. Anybody managed to solve this issue? What version of Firware do you guys have? I have 1.50.13... regards.

  • T510 Mouse and Keyboard stops working with Windows Update - unable to roll back, happened twice

    My mouse has been working fine for a while but it stopped working followed by the keyboard, I put it down to a Windows update but because Windows 7 keeps bluescreening on a restore point I couldn't recover.  I contacted Lenovo got the rebuild disc for my machine, completely rebuilt it, all working fine, then after 2 days same issue, mouse stopped, keyboard stopped, restore points make no difference.  Does anyone know what windows update is causing this and if there is a fix aside from rebuilding, I can't keep doing this and I need to understand the cause really, not had it with a laptop before.  Gone back to using my old laptop until I can get it sorted.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    I installed the latest drivers via windows update and got the touchpad back, rebooted, it went again.  Netiher the trackpoint or touchpad work.  I then thought rather than focus on drivers check the bios.  I disabled the trackpoint in the bios, still neither works, however if I disable the touchpad in the bios and enable the trackpoint, the trackpoint does consistently work.  I can't explain why the touchpad worked after a touchpad update but now fails, the ultranav driver is installed but if both are enabled in the bios it say it isn't installed, if the trackpoint is enabled it tells me I need to enable both so it clearly knows it's there.  What's curious is that this doesn't happen on the complete clean IBM build.  I can't not turn off windows updates, I'm a developer so Ioad the laptops up with a vast variety of software and I need many of the windows update fixes, either way I am surprised they are conflicting with the touchpad so dramatically.  I can't see it being a virus I'm using two layers of protection and if I blow the machine away and installed the updates via an .iso image (so it's never connected to anything else), I can replicate the problem.  It's feasible it's another piece of software causing the conflict.  Any one have any idea what could be going on or seen it before?

  • Hot corners stop working with USB Mouse?

    Hi,
    pretty simple one this (to explain anyway)
    Hot corners don't work with a USB mouse on my 10.10 MBA.
    If the USB mouse is plugged in, hot corners do nothing (Whether I use the mouse, or the track pad to move to the corner of the screen)
    If i unplug the USB mouse, they work fine again.
    I have rebooted and unplugged and replugged the USB mouse to no avail.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Have you tried another USB port?

  • F1 and F2 stopped working with 10.7.4 on Apple wireless keyboard

    I have an Apple wireless keyboard and the F1 and F2 keys don't work. I am connecting to a early 2010 Mac mini and running OS X 10.7.4. Seemed like it quit working when I updated to 10.7.4. I've reset my SMC and PRAM twice. Is this a 10.7.4 bug? Any fixes?

    Hi Joseph,
    Yes, in the keyboard system preferences, I have checked the "Use all F1, F2..." check box and unchecked it and nothing either way. I was using Snow Leopard up to a couple days ago and the F1 and F2 worked fine. All the other F keys as advertised (according to the little picture on the key), just the brightness controls don't work.

  • Letterbox and widemail stopped working with Mail on new QuadCoreI7 MacBookP

    I just received my new MacBookPro Quad Core I7 (Wow!) and after finding Rosetta was not installed and fixing that, I now back to Mail disabling either of the current bundles (10.6.5 is what both developers are showing). The computer is running 10.6.6 as is my previous MacBookPro. I've checked the info.plist on both bundles and on mail.app and find that mail's SupportedPluginCompatiblityUUID list includes the same values as found in the bundles (so the old fixes won't work). When mail starts it immediately disables the bundle and complains about them not being current

    Although designed to re-enable GrowlMail, I successfully employed this hint for both Letterbox and WideMail:

  • Printer Software not Working for Windows 8.1 and Drivers not Working with USB 3.0

    We have a HP CM1312 MFP. We recently got two new windows 8.1 machines. We tried downloading and installing the windows 8 64 bit software, but everytime we tried installing the software the software program would exit abruptly. 
    We then tried just downloading the printer drivers and installing these. They installed ok, but when we tried to connect the printer via USB it said the printer did not support USB 3.0 which are the only ports we have on the new computers. 
    Is there a solution to either of these problems? Without the software we cannot use the fax or scanner. 
    Thanks.

    Can you connect USB 2.0 data drives?
    What make/model are the computers?

  • Apple wireless mouse and keyboard stop working ... now says OS X version and bluetooth incompatible

    For no apparent reason my apple wireless mouse and keyboard stopped working. I was not upgrading or installing anything, the batteries are good, nothing was changed as far as I know. Now bluetooth discovers the paired devices, connects for about 30 seconds, the disconnects ... or stays connected but doesn't work.
    What's happenned ... I'm rushing to finish a big job ... any ideas? I've tried re-pairing but doesn't work ... says that OSX version may be incompatible with device bluetooth ... I'm using Lion so maybe there is another lion problem?

    Hello:
    Barry: What do you mean with "making devices favorites"?
    This is the method:
    Go to system preferences>bluetooth.  Highlight an item in the sidebar.  If detailed information does not appear, click on the little gear and select show more info.  Then click on the gear again and select favorite.
    And how could an hardware-related problem be (temporarily) solved rebooting the OS?
    Intermittent problems are, IMHO, most often caused by hardware.  Restarting will occasionally "fix" problems - why, I do not know.

  • I cannot print wirelessly to an Epson 810 from a MacBook Pro (2010). Stopped working with version 4 and has not worked since. Prints fine to Safari, Chrome, and all other programs. Resetting didn't help.

    Prints fine with other browsers and programs. Works with my wife's MacBook Pro.

    Took it to Apple Genius, they told me it was my memory (incompatible)
    Believe the first one.  No one RAM test will reliably indicate RAM is bad.   Once indicated, it has to be replaced.
    You have to get RAM made for the mid 2012 13" MacBook Pro.    Just because it says it 4GB of 1600MHz DDR3 memory does not mean it is compatible with your Mac.  You have to buy RAM for Macs with lifetime warranty, that is not ValueRAM, and says the model and its time frame within the year that it was released, and its model number when buying RAM.  Both http://www.macsales.com/ (OWC) and http://www.crucial.com/ sell RAM in that means of attributing what kind of RAM it is.
    I ran an internet-based free diagnostic tool and it showed that my hard drive did have bad parts (corrupted? possible to fix or not?) and it was acting irregularly...
    What tool?  Some are known to damage software components of drives.  Especially any that address system cache.

  • Wacom Tablet causes Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.

    My Wacom tablet/pen causes my Apple wireless keyboard to stop working.  While working on a photo in Photoshop using my Apple (usb) mouse to make selections the keyboard works fine.  When I use the Wacom Pen to make selections, not immediately but anywhere from five to ten minutes into it, I hear what sounds like a chirp from my computer (Mac Pro) and my keyboard stops working.  The command, option, control and direction keys still work but not the number and letter keys.  I have to connect a spare Logitech keyboard via USB in order to continue and not loose my work.  After awhile I will hear the chirp again and the Apple keyboard will start working.  This will continue to occur at irregular intervals.  Without the spare keyboard I've had to reboot my computer (loosing all the work on the photo) to get the keyboard working again, but only for it to reoccur.  Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated.

    The Mac inherently keeps all input methods active, such that you could type alternate keys on alternate keyboards.
    If you have third party add-ons that might change the way Bluetooth works, those would be the primary suspects.
    Be sure all your Drivers are completely up-to-date, and batteries in battery-powered devices are still strong.
    Bluetooth uses the same part of the frequency spectrum (but a different modulation technique) as cheap WiFi Routers, baby monitors, and microwave ovens. if you live in a busy apartment building, there may be very high levels of interference.
