LJ 4050 PCL 5, wired network, win8.1, very long between pages.
I have Dell Inspirion 15R with Win 8.1, printing to 4050 over wired network. Print speed per page is fine, but the printer will print 1-2 pages, then pause, then print some more. Only the "processing" msg on the printer tells me it is still working. I use same laptop on a wireless network to a different HP printer and there is no delay between pages. Others using Windows 7 do not have same problem. Driver is the latest. Is this a problem with port or print queue ?
Thanks
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Commercial Forums.

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?Hajenius wrote:
Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative. -
MBP takes long time to restore wired network connection after wake-up
Hello...
My Mid-2010 MBP (MacBookPro6,2) has been experiencing this problem recently -- Whenever I wake up the computer from sleep, it needs approximately 10 seconds to restore its wired network connection. I know there are other annoying connection issues with MBP's WiFi/AirPort out there, but I'm talking about the wired connection here.
Maybe some don't even think this slowness is a problem at all, but this laptop used to be network-ready right after wake-up until 3~4 months ago. That was around the time when I upgraded to SSD and changed some settings via pmset, not sure if that's the culprit. It is now running OS X 10.8.5 and its pmset settings are:
Battery Power:
lidwake 1
ttyskeepawake 1
hibernatemode 3
gpuswitch 2
hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage

Hi All,
I've seen this problem multiple times, especially with Windows 7 64-bit versions and Enterprise edition. The source of the problem appears to be the Bonjour service that is installed in the background and set to "Automatic" when installing certain 3rd
party applications. Apple applications like iTunes and Adobe applications like Acrobat Professional and Creative Suites have been known to cause this problem. I've also seen virtualization software like VMWare and VirtualBox cause similar issues
with network adapters.
The solution in most of the cases I've come across has been to stop and disable the Bonjour service. The Bonjour service also masquerades as a service with a name of the format "##Id_String1.6844F930_blahblahblah". Here's how to disable this service
in Windows 7:
Right-Click on Computer > Select 'Manage'
Expand the 'Services and Applications' section in the bottom of the Left-Nav dialog and Select 'Services'
Sort the Services list by name and look for either "Bonjour" or the "##Id_String..." name mentioned above
Right-Click on the service and select 'Properties'
Click the 'Stop' button to stop the service
Select 'Disabled' from the 'Startup type' drop down list
Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'
Reboot your machine and see if the "Multiple Networks" issue is resolved. If so, you should have internet connectivity again.
Hope this helps.
cheers,

How can I share external devices connected to my Mac mini via USB on a wired network.
Own a Mac mini with Mountain Lion. Purchased the server app. The Mac mini is connected to a wired network with Mac’s and Windows machines. I have an external hard drive and 2 printers connected to the MAC mini via USB. I would like to share these devices with other computers on the wired network. Although I have attached similar devices with an airport extreme in the past, I am unable to use a wireless router in this case. Any suggestions on making this work with my current setup?
You don't really even need server app to do this. Simply go to System Preferences | Sharing and turn on both File & Printer sharing. Then, for example, the printer (not relevant what connection it has but obviously USB is fine) will be available to everyone on the wired network.
That's all there is to it - unless I missed/misunderstood something re: your setup which seems very straightforward. -
Can't reinstall Officejet Pro 8000 A809N driver on wired network
Computer is running Windows XP with service pack 3 and all updates installed. When I tried to print two days ago, I received an error message that no printer was installed. I had printed earlier in the week without problems. I checked the Printer and Faxes folder in Control Panel, and it was empty. I believe it normally showed the HP printer as well as a Windows Fax print-to-file routine there.
When I clicked on Add a Printer in the Printer folder, I was told that the Print Spooler was not running. I ran "services.msc" from the Run command, and restarted the Print Spooler. I went back to the Printer folder, tried to reinstall the printer, and again it said the Print Spooler was not running. I restarted the Print Spooler again, and tried to look at Server Properties from the Printer folder file tab, and again it said the Print Spooler was not running (it is set to automatic restart). I've checked several related dll and exe files against their backups, and they don't appear to be corrupted. I scanned the hard drive for errors, and none were found.
I tried the built-in diagnostics of the HP software, and all I got was error messages that the Print Spooler was stopped. I came to the HP website, downloaded and installed two additional troubleshooting programs, which did not help. HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility says "software not installed", although nothing had been deleted, and still ran from the Start menu. HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.1 states there is an issue with the print spooler, and to click "Fix". Clicking Fix opens a window stating to select the printer to troubleshoot, then press "Diagnose". No printer appears in the list though, so it states to install the software.
Therefore, I downloaded both the full and the limited install programs from the website and tried both several times. I ran the uninstall program of the existing installation from the Start menu without problems and rebooted. When I tried to reinstall though, I kept getting errors. Generally, the "hpnwchk" program (HP network check) opens in a dos screen, displays a long string of "Printer : (null)" lines, then crashes. The program then tells me that the printer is already installed to the TCP/IP port, and needs to be removed first. I click the option to "Fix" the TCP/IP port option. The installation program then continues, and brings up a window showing the correct information for my printer (it even wakes it from the standby mode). I select the printer from the list, and the install continues until receiving another error, stating that "arguments are incorrect", and that the installation has failed. I think the "arguments" are setting for the TCP/IP port, which differ between what it is being set from the current drivers and what was previously installed.
I've run the uninstall routine several times, and also manually deleted the printer folder from the registry using REGEDIT (HKCU/Printer). It seems to me that there is a conflict somewhere that keeps stopping the print spooler (it is set to auto restart). Also, the uninstall routine is not completely uninstalling, as it always says that the printer is already installed when I run the installation routines, and displays it's correct parameters. I Googled and read just about everything I can find on the subject, and I'm stumped. Where else could the TCP/IP settings be stored in the Registry, and what else is being missed on the uninstall?
Some additional information on my setup - the printer has been installed for about 2 years with no issues. I can still print without problems from another computer on our home wired network. I opened Vista on this very computer on a separate drive partition, and had no trouble installing and using the printer through Vista, which seems to eliminate any possible hardware issues (I never found it worth the effort to move over to Vista after trying it; only use it now as a back-up to XP on the computer). In the past week, I installed an update for Adobe Reader, and Microsoft Security Essentials stopped a Java Script Trojan. I believe Windows also installed it's monthly anti-virus update. All virus scans have been negative. Beyond that, there has been no other hardware or software changes.
This question was solved.
View Solution.I found a solution to the problem, through early morning inspiration. I thought as everything disappeared from the Printer folder, and kept being told that the printer was installed, that I would delete and reinstall other drivers that may (or may not) have been in the folder. I seemed to recall that I had the generic Fax driver installed, and the Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed. I went to "Add/Remove Windows Components", and deleted Fax Services. I then went to the Printer file, clicked Add a Printer, and didn't receive the error message that the Print Spooler wasn't running, ect. I then had no problem reinstalling the HP printer, Fax, and XPS drivers.

SOLVED: W510 Wired Network Stops working
I had a problem with a W510 I ordered with Windows 7 32 bit. At random times, the exclamation point icon would appear over the network icon in the system tray, and the network adapter would no longer be recognized. I could use the built in Windows facilities to reset the adapter, but it would quickly fail again. The only cure was to restart the machine, which was annoying. Wireless networking was not affected - just the wired Ethernet connection.
I downloaded the latest drivers from the Lenovo site and that did not fix it. I have had numerous Thinkpads over the past 12 years and have NEVER had any sort of hardware fault before, so I doubted that it was a hardware fault. Therefore I wiped the machine clean and installed 64 Bit Windows 7 instead.
The first problem I had after installing Win7 x64 was that the internal USB controller was not recognized by Windows. Therefore, USB devices (i.e. my thumb drive with all the x64 Lenovo drivers on) were no longer recognized. Therefore, I burned the x64 drivers to a CD and used that instead.
All the devices including the USB controller then came to life, and it looks like the problem has been completely solved.
I post this, in case anybody else has such a problem.I just started seeing this issue with my pen silo. The Wacom tablet component has completely stopped working, and I'm seeing "USB device not recognized" every time I insert and draw out the pen. My guess is that all the peripheral components in the tablet are connected to the motherboard via crappy silver trace ribbon cables, and they're susceptible to the tiniest amount of flex, heat, and disruption.
Since the USB device is, at least in my case, still operating well enough to report that it is having trouble, I'm guessing that the issue is transient, but that doesn't fix my problem - and probably won't fix yours. I'd recommend getting a refund.
Here's how to see if the device is reporting a problem:
1) Wait until you see the "USB device not recognized" message again.
2) CTRL+X -> Device Manager
3) Other Devices -> double-click "Unknown device"
4) Go to "Details" tab
5) Select "DevNode status" from the drop-down; the Value pane will have DN_HAS_PROBLEM on one of the lines.
6) Select "Problem code" from the drop-down; the Value pane will likely show "0000002B", or Microsoft USB problem code 43 in decimal. -
Airport Extreme wired network can't assign IP address, but wireless works
*Problem details:*
We have three computers intermittently on, wired into the ethernet LAN managed by the Airport Extreme.
We have a few more computers that connect to the wireless network managed by the same Airport Extreme.
As far as I know, no fancy settings hijinks have been attempted. I manage the router, and I only plugged the Airport into the cable modem and connected all the wires to the computers. The WiFi setup went a similar way -- I just turned it on and it sorted itself out. This was eight months ago, mind you -- everything has been going quite well up until this weekend.
But! I got home from a trip this weekend to discover that all the machines that connected over the wired network could no longer get a connection to the internet. Any machine connected over the wireless network, however, was working just fine. Indeed, my macbook pros couldn't even see the Airport Extreme when I turned off their WiFi, connected them over Ethernet and opened the Airport Extreme configuration app!
The wired machines complain that they have a self-assigned IP address. Sometimes, after resetting everything, they look like everything's fine for a moment. Like I said, ordinarily my macbook pro does not even recognize the router over the wired network. However, after reverting to factory defaults and restarting the Airport, the laptop did see it (until a few minutes went by and it realized something was wrong).
I figured that renewing my DHCP lease would fix this problem, but it did not. Nor did turning off Passive FTP Mode (PASV) under Proxies in the Network configuration pane.
I have tried resetting the router to factory defaults, power cycling the modem and router in various configurations, etc. but nothing has worked. In addition, I have verified that connecting any machine to the ethernet directly from the modem will work, so the problem is definitely being introduced by the Airport Extreme.
So I guess my question is: what do I have to poke to return everything to normal? I'd like working wired and wireless networks again.
*Some last few details:*
The Airport is running 7.5.2, but downgrading to 7.4.2 produced no tangible difference.
I have an Ubee D3.0 modem. All lights are green and blinky except the DS light, which is solid amber (and it is green when the modem is wired directly to one of my computers -- it's only amber when connected to the Airport).
Some of the machines that can't connect to the wired network are PCs, so it's not just an OSX thing.
My roommate's XBOX 360 can connect to the internet over the wired port. It doesn't have WiFi, so I'm pretty sure there's no way it could be fooling me.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can muster.
EDIT FOR APOLOGIES:
I didn't realize I was posting this in the "Airport for Windows" section. While a Windows computer's connection is a concern, I would much rather get my Macs online and deal with that first. I can't figure out how to move the message myself.*An update:*
Several days later, this issue seems to have fixed itself. I suspect there may have been Funny Business on my ISP's end (but then again, it's an ISP). -
MBP can no longer access a wired network
Just like week I could no longer access an academic wired campus network.
The IT department says they can see my MBP on the network, but the MPB no longer can access the network.
I can take the same MBP to another place of employment and gain access to their wired network.
As a caveat this same MBP can access the academic wireless network with no issues.
No thing has changed on the academci wired network since last week.
Thoughts?
Thank you,
ReedLeopard sets your mac to avoid being a master browser so you don't see other shares in finder.
There are many ways around it but if you run a network with few machines and that is the only mac the fastest is to launch terminal as administrator and issue the following command:
sudo pico /etc/hosts
Add a line at the end with the IP address of your NAS, this is what I have in my hosts
192.168.0.100 Netdrive
Hit option X and save the file. Reboot the machine the NAS will come up immediately -
Hi,
My brand-new HP LaserJet Pro M201dw is suddenly not cooperating when I go to print using my Mac. I had it set up following the directions which closest matched my OS and it worked perfectly for one week; today suddenly it won't cooperate. The printer is seen on the network. I have deleted and re-installed it from my System Preferences several times. I have rebooted my computer. I cannot seem to get it to work. Even the HP Utility is having difficulty. The HP Utility is suddenly slow and often needs to be force-quit as it hangs when I navigate to other applications (web browser, etc.) while waiting for it to respond to clicks. Most often the HP Utility shows the printer in the status ara as "Device Status: Unknown" and "Supplies: Unknown" which it wasn't having issues with yesterday.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this device? Is there better documentation than the basic setup page here on HP? What about adjusting some setting in the printer web page (which I can access) - is the answer in there?
Thank you.Hi @td2243,
I see that you are having issues printing over the wired network. I would like to help you out with this issue today.

On the Apple menu bar, click Go, then click Applications, then Network Utilities. (you can go to the finder and type in Network Utilities)
Click on PING from the bar at the top of the window.
Enter the IP Address of the printer and click Ping.
Did you get any replies back?
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:

Wired Network conputer cannot find host printer
I cannot print to host printer on a home wired network.
Printer is HP Photosmart 7520 e all in one.
Host Compter is a Dell Dimension 8100
Pentium 4 1.3 GHz 2.0 GB RAM
Windows XP SP3 host computer.
Netgear N600 Dual Band Router
Model WNDR3400
Network Computer:
Nobilis
Pentium 4 dual core 2.8 GHz
2.5 GB RAM
Linux Mint 17 OS
Both computers share the internet without any problems. The Dell computer prints without any problems. The Dell computer properties 'share this printer' box is checked. I cannot find any IP address for the printer. When I printed out the printer configuration sheet, no IP address was given. When I go to the Control Center->Printers->local-host on the Linux OS, it says it is 'connected to local-host' and 'There are no pinters configured yet'. I then selected 'Add' to add a printer. A 'New Printer' screen comes up and ask to 'Select Device' and also 'Enter URI'. This is where I am stopped in my tracks since I have no 'URI'. Under the 'select device' side there are several options: LPT #1, Serial Port #1, Enter URI, and 'Network Printer'. If Network Printer is selected a dropdown list appears: The main heading is "Find Network Printer'. Selecting 'Find Network Printer' gives various internet protocols (ipp, ipps, https, ipp14, LPD/LPR Host or Printer, Windows printer via Samba, and APP Socket/HP Direct.
The Dell computer has alway worked fine and without problems (XP OS) on any HP printer.
This is where I am stymied! Can someone help me from here.Can you see the Windows computers when browsing from GO > Connect to server?

Intermittent wired network connection on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600
I've searched the forums and I haven't seen a problem/solution quite like I am experiencing, so I am starting a new thread.
I have a HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 that will only keep an intermittent connection to my router. Lately, it has been more often not than connected. I usually have to disconnect and connect the Ethernet cable to the back of the printer several times before it will show a connection, and then, only for a little while before it drops the connection again. When connected, everything works fine (printing, faxing, scanning).
When the printer is disconnected, the network status has a yield sign with an exclamation point inside. There are no blinking lights on the back where the network cable connects. When it connects (by me plugging and unplugging), the lights start flickering. I've tried several cables including known good ones to rule that possibility out. Cycling the power has no consistent affect. The router is otherwise working fine.
Here are other details that might help:
Model: HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 (N911a)
Firmware: up-to-date
Software drivers: up-to-date
Router: CISCO E3200
Connection: wired network
Static IP address reserved (not connecting with DHCP)
MAC filtering off
Main Computer: Windows 7 Service Pack 1
Wired Connection to the router
Can someone suggest a solution? My best guess is that the network card in the printer is bad, but I am willing to try an easier solution. Thanks.Hi, are there any other peripherals using the RJ45 ports on the router?
Are you using a static IP address for the 8600?

HP Photosmart Premium c309g Wired Network Issues
I've been struggling with this thing since I installed it a month ago. It prints, usually, but for the most part the performance over the wired network is slooooowwwww. In some cases it may take 5 minutes just for the printer to get itself activated. Other times it won't even print at all until I reboot my desktop (wired into router) and log back into my user account. Then suddenly, the printout will appear. Performance from a wireless laptops is the same.
I figured a wired setup would be simple as I didn't need the wireless setup. The printer is connect directly to my DSL modem/router. I get my wireless to my laptop by Netgear router coming off one of the DSL modem ports. The wireless access point has a static IP. The DSL wired router has DHCP running.
Unless I can find some knowledgeable help in here I think I'll be forced to go back to a USB connection and share it thru my desktop. Something I'd like to avoid if possible. Let me know what information anyone needs and I'll supply it.
One more thing to add because it just happened. After turning the printer off/on it sat there for about 3 minutes. Then suddenly it got some request to print something. However, no client sent it a print request.
Thanks..PrintDoc,
I have made the following changes based upon your recommendations.
- Removed HP printer and desktop network cable from Actiontec DSL modem/router and plugged them into the Netgear wireless router (WNDR3400) port 2 and 3.
- Ran one network cable from port 1 on the Actiontec to port 1 on the Netgear. Port 1 is NOT the WAN on the Netgear.
- Verified Netgear and Actiontec have the latest firmware (they already did)
Here are the settings for the Actiontec
- DHCP off
- OpenDNS as DNS servers
- LAN IP 192.168.0.1
- Netmask 255.255.255.0
Here are the settings for the Netgear
- DHCP on (range 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254)
- Static IP 192.168.111.2
- Netmask 255.255.255.0
- Gateway IP 192.168.111.1
- LAN IP 192.168.0.100
- Netmask 255.255.255.0
- OpenDNS as DNS servers
Here are the settings for the HP printer
- Name: OldGlory
- DHCP on
- OpenDNS as DNS servers
I can connect my 2 laptops, smartphone, Internet radio, and Internet connectible TV with no problems on the wireless signal. The desktop and the printer have no problems connecting either. After I configured it all last nite I did have it all working properly (so it seemed).
So the desktop and the printer sat on overnite and I attempted to print something this morning from a Stamps.com application I have installed on the desktop. The print was sent and I did notice it in the printer icon in the taskbar start up. However, when I opened that icon up to check the status, there was no port called out. As a result nothing was printed. Funny because a port is defined in the printer properties Port tab in Windows.
I logged off and then logged back in and still no print. I then rebooted the desktop and then upon login, the print came out of the printer. This is the typical behavior when things have sat over nite. I checked the printer configuration and I have energy saving mode turned off.
Does this help diagnose?
Please advise...Thanks... -
Help with small wired network?
My office has 7 iMacs and 3 MacBooks using ethernet cables to connect via a hub. I'm trying to establish a wired network between these, so as to allow full browsing and read/write access among them while preventing access to any computer not physically connected.
I understand I can set the home folders to shared, but a few problems present:
1. This seems to establish wireless sharing, whereas we need a wired-only network.
2. I understand how to share between accounts on a single computer, say, accounts A and B on computer X. But how to add permissions for accounts on other computers (e.g. account Y on computer Z)?Yep, I realize that, and it's where I'm stuck at. I'm only seeing two possibilities, neither of which is helpful...
A. allow permissions for "Users & Groups" on the same computer, which ignores the goal of networking users from other computers.
B. allow "Everyone" with a wireless connection, which ignores the goal of creating a network between only the office computers.
So the Receptionist computer wants to allow access to users from the Front Office computer, Technicians computer, and Back Office computer. Back office wants to allow users from the Technicians computer, Front Office computer, and so forth.
But for example, all I can figure out now is how to allow users on the Receptionist computer to allow other users on the Receptionist computer, or else to allow all users from any computer with a wireless connection... -
Setting up wifi for ipad with an existing hard wired network
Greets all.
Got my aged mother in law an ipad so her bad eyes could read ebooks. Only way she can download new books is with a wifi connection. Trouble is, at her house My aged father in law had a hard wired dsl connection to the internet with Windows PCs. Can I install a wifi network in her house and still leave the existing hard wired network (all commputers connected via cat5) intact? I only need the wifi connection for the ipad. That said; what do I need to make this happen besides a wireless router. Ive heard the Airport Extreme gets good reviews. I only have pc experience and have a linksys router at my own house for my wifi network. So please...can the wifi ipad connection and hard wired dsl connection peacefully coexist and if so how do I go about setting it up? Thanks much!Thank you! Thank you! Awesome! I've been trying to find an explanation for this is laymen's terms (I'm new to Mac and wi-fi networks) and this answered my question exactly. I have an iMac I want to keep its wired connection, and the iPad to run off wi-fi. Sounds like the Airport Extreme is the way to go, but I only say that because it's an Apple product.
What would be the advantage/disadvantage with going with something like DLink or Linksys? Or as long as I buy something with the 10/100 802.11b/g support, should I be okay.
Thanks again! -
