Lose connection when printer is turned on

I have recently set up two desktop computers on a wireless network.  One computer is connected to my cable Internet modem which is connected to my router (WRT110).  My other computer utilizes my wireless adapter.  This computer (the wireless one) connects to the Internet fine.  (Actually, the signal is always low or very low, but that's for a separate posting, I suppose.) 
I just connected my HP 2575 printer to my wireless computer (haven't even installed the driver yet).  As soon as I turn the printer on, I lose my Internet connection completely on my wireless computer.  My other printer (the hard-wired one) no longer has a printer connected to it.  I hadn't thought about making this printer a network printer, but am willing to do whatever I need to be able to have my wireless computer working with the printer.  Can someone please help me?  Thanks so much.

I think you need to make some changes on your Wireless router, I think that might solve your problem.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • BT Keyboard Loses Connection When Waking from Sleep Mode

    I'm running Windows 7 on a late 2009 27" iMac and my Bluetooth keyboard keeps loses connection when I wake my computer from sleep mode. Usually the only way I can get it back is my resetting. Anyone know of a way to fix this? Any help would be great appreciated.

    If the MBP doesn't wake when you open the lid but does when you press any key afterward, do this:
    Applications > Utilities > Terminal
    Copy and paste the following text in the Terminal window:
    *sudo pmset lidwake 1*
    You'll be asked for your admin password. Type that in (Note: the password will not be displayed as you do so). Press Return, and quit the Terminal. Close the MBP, wait for it to sleep, and open it again. Does it wake now?
    If you want to change it back so the system doesn't wake when you open the lid, repeat the procedure, but this time type or paste:
    *sudo pmset lidwake 0*

  • My Photosmart Plus printer seems to lose connectivity when in sleep mode, how can I fix this?

    My new photosmart plus appears to loose it's connection when it goes to sleep. At least the printers status page online says it's not connected, even though it is visible in my router and the blue light next to the antenna of the printer is on. It also appears to be connected when I poke around in the printer's settings, but if I want to print something from an app or via e-mail I have to run the wireless wizard again, select my netgear and enter the password. Once connected I get a screen where I supposedly can skip printing a report, but that does not work either, it prints no matter what I select, waste of paper and ink.
    I searched around but found no solution that would work for me.
    Tech info:
    wireless conection to my cable modem with Netgear router
    Macbook pro and an older HP laptop are in use.
    Security is WPA2-PSK [AES]
    I like the machine a lot, but this is rather anoying, what can I do to keep the connection when the printer sleeps?
    (edited to add security info)

    Does the printer not wake from sleep for both the Mac and PC?
    You may want to try setting a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP.  Enter the current IP address.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • HP software loses connection to printer after a few hours

    I have been having this problem since I bought my HP Deskjet 3052A a few months ago.  There is a program in my Startup folder called "Monitor Ink Alerts - HP Deskjet 3050A J611 Series (Network)."  It works fine when I start up my PC, but invariably after a few hours, I will get a message (and an icon in the system tray) saying that it has lost connection to the printer (I do not have the exact message at this time).  The message also says that wireless scanning is not available.  At that point, my PC will not print to the printer, although wireless devices using HP ePrint still are able to print.  Restarting the PC will fix the error.  I have set the printer up with a static IP address to try and fix the issue, but it continues to reoccur.
    My PC is a Dell Dimension E520 running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002, Service Pack 3.  It is connected via network cable to my Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router model WNDR3700.  The printer is connected via wireless to the same router.

    I too have this problem and for no apparent reason.  The only thing I can link it to is, if I print a letter and then go into mail merge to print the envelope it allows me to print the envelope(s) but then loses the wireless connection when I go back into trying to print letters. 
    It really is a pain because I have to stop what I am doing and spend time going through the set up procedure again. Not difficult (except for the faff of having to take the printer to the pc and connecting the USB again) but time consuming and very disruptive to my working day.
    I have another problem with printing a document and getting gobblygook, but that's for another thread and I will search for this.

  • Discoverer Plus loses connection when COLLAPSING in Hierarchy!

    I am getting an error saying that' Discoverer connection is lost. Please contact your admin" when I am collapsing hierarchies. Did you ever encounter this kind of error ever? I have like 6 levels of hierarchies(date hierarchy, like yr,season, quarter etc)...So one hierarchy is Company ->Year and other one is Year->Season->Quarter so on.... So when I collapse one by one level its ok... but when i do it all at once from the top, i.e Company, it loses connection!!
    Is it some kind of a bug???
    Thanks a lot,
    rocky

    Hi
    Well it does sound like the hierarchies are to blame, although to be honest with you I've seen Discoverer losing its connection for something far less trivial than that. The most common reasons for losing a connection are network issues and being out of memory either on the Discoverer client or on the server. I'd suspect that memory is an issue.
    Now, your second issue relates to the use of those hierarchies. Are they perhaps date hierarchies as opposed to item hierarchies? If so, whilst they are really quite clever, they do tend to cause more problems than they solve. Personally, if you are using date hierarchies, I would create a materialized view or table of your fiscal time and then create one folder for each date in your folder. I'd drop the Oracle date hierarchies in a heart beat but this is easier said than done.
    Does this help?
    Regards

  • HT1365 just installed a new wireless router (cisco linkseys E1200) and our apple laptops connect fine on one floor but lose connectivity when moved to another.  Other non apple laptops & Ipad connect with no problem no matter what floor they are on

    We just installed a new wireless router to our main PC.  It's a Cisco Linkseys E1200.  All other wireless devices were able to connect without a problem, including my Ipad.  We have 2 Macbook Pro laptops.  They both connect just fine when on the same floor of our house as the router, but when we take them upstairs to the 2nd floor of the house, they lose connectivity and it states the wireless password is not the correct password.  All other 2nd floor laptops have no problem at all with connectivity no matter where they are in the house.  Please help- my husband is on the verge of selling Apple if that cannot be remedied. 

    This would not be a security issue symptom. I would consider checking for sources of wireless interference HT1365

  • Acrobat 9.4.6 Pro loses italics when printing

    Yesterday (9-15-11) I updated Acrobat 9 Pro to version 9.4.6. (The previous version was probably 9.4.5, but I am not sure.) PDFs generated before and after the update that use purchased fonts (Minion, Avenir) no longer print those fonts in italics. Any italicized passages print as unformatted. Before the update there were no problems with printing in italics. The PDFs display the text correctly on the screen. Only when printing does the text become un-italicized.
    I installed Adobe Reader 10.1.1. Same result as 9.4.6.
    Sending to a different brand printer has the same result.
    No problems printing from the word processor (OpenOffice 3.3.0).
    Printing from the PDF to a new PDF has the same result. Text is correct on screen but not on paper.
    Generating a PDF on this computer and then printing it from a different computer running Reader 10.1.0 has no problems.
    What happened? What can I do to fix it. If there is no fix, is it possible to roll back to the previous version?

    Engravers Gothic Italic + also  Bold no longer prints out
    I use Adobe Pro 9, Word (Office 2003 - SP3) and Windows XP Pro (SP3) and all have been updated in the last 2 weeks. (Updated to Adobe 9.4.6)
    Over the years, will all the same software as above, I have used Engraver’s Gothic BT (True Type) font, and especially the italic and bold version of it, in my Company letterheads and logo.
    Now, when printing out an old .pdf letterhead document, I find that the Engraver’s Gothic Italic Bold font has been substituted by an odd-looking/unrecognisable font that is not in my Windows font directory, and the normal italic (i.e. not bold) has been straightened back upright.
    (It does not look like a different font, but as if the software has straightened out only part of the font, leaving a “bold” shadow italic version in the background).
    The old .pdf letterheads look as they always did on the screen, but when they are printed out, something has substituted the unusual Engraver’s Gothic italic font for the unrecognisable one.
    A new Word document, converted to .pdf, similarly shows my “usual” Engraver’s Gothic Italic style and font and both look entirely “normal” on the screen, but when printed out as a .pdf, the font is again substituted/replaced by the above unrecognisable font.
    (Word still prints out the italic and bold version without problem).
    The normal version of Engravers Gothic is not affected in Adobe – only the italic version is substituted – the normal italic is straightened back up and the bold italic is the odd, shadow version.
    I have an old laptop that has not been updated in the last 2 weeks and that prints out .pdf’s with the italic version without any problem i.e. it seems that a software update in the last 2 weeks has affected this italic font.
    Removing, re-booting, then re-installing the font makes no difference and it is also the same whichever printer I use.
    How do I get Adobe to go back and recognise and print out Engraver’s Gothic Italic Bold, as it has done, with hundreds of documents, over the last years?

  • Score loses formating when printing to pdf in Logic Pro

    Logic Pro 9.1.6 shows score ok in page view but when it prints to pdf the formatting goes weird with notes dropping off the stave. How do I fix this so I can print a score?

    Michael: I have tested other programs ability to print to Acrobat and also tested ability for other programs to
    export to Excel or Word. The only crash is when printing an Acrobat pdf from Morningstar Principia Pro I get a bad crash. The work around is to print to XPS and then convert the XPS file to Acrobat pdf. To get out of the crash which can't be fixed by Windows Task Manager shut down, is to open the printer file and tell the printer to delete the pending print job.
    I'm using latest Version 9.3.4 Standard Acrobat; Win 7 Pro 64 bit, 10 g of RAM, HPE 390t standalone PC, no networking.

    Introduction
    The router that started it all, the WRT54G. In 2003, Columbia Law School Professor Eben Moglen sued Linksys to get them to release their Linux source code. They released it without a fight and continue release their source code to the public. It didn't take long to realize what could be done with the source. The OpenWRT group and Sveasoft were among the first to release updates for the WRT54G. The popularity of the WRT54G boomed. Linux and Router gurus soon took notice of the WRT54G. Today, WRT54Gs are used worldwide, many running third-party firmware. Shortly after Linksys released the first version of the WRT54G, they were bought by Cisco. Since then, many versions of the WRT54G have followed. In late 2005, Linksys switched the WRT54G to a non-Linux based operating system. This upset many in the community. Luckily, Linksys released the WRT54GL just for those who like to upgrade their routers.

  • WRT110 loses connection when second laptop connects

    One laptop can be connected to the router at a time and have absolutely no problems. The problems occur when one laptop is already connected to the router and another one tries to connect to the router as well. When this happens the router completely loses it's connection to the internet. The only way I have found to fix this is to unplug and restart the router, which I shouldn't have to do every single time we want to use the internet. Sometimes it takes restarting it a couple times for it to work. Does anyone have any idea why this happens or what I can do to fix it?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I had this issue for a long long time. The one thing that I have found to help combat this issue is to make sure that if you are using Vista that IPv6 is off. For some reason when either my roommates desktop, laptop or my laptop has this one it will crash the network. To do this in Vista
    1. Click in Control Panel
    2. Click View Network status and tasks or Network Connections if you are in classic view
    3. Click Manage Network Connections
    4. Right click on your Wireless or Hardwire connection however you are connecting to the router and go to Properties
    5. Uncheck Internet Protocol Version 6.
    6. Hit ok.
    7. Reconnect the device to the network.
    Initally it may crash the network. Allow the network 5 minutes to attempt to come back up on its own. If this does not work then go ahead and unplug and replug in the router. After the first crash for me it did not happen again.
    Hopefully this will help with some of your problems. This is the only thing that I could find to combat the issues that you are describing. With this off we are able to run my laptop, his laptop, his desktop, an xbox360, and a blue-ray player on the network no problem. Good luck and if you have any questions please ask!

  • Apps crash when printing to turned-off printer

    Running 10.9.3 at the moment and having unusual printer issues at the office.  Basically, when going to the print dialogue box and clicking "print" to any printer that is turned off or that OSX doesn't recognize, it will crash the app.  The unusual thing is that even after turning the printer back on, any app that tries to print won't even make it to the print dialogue box and crashes immediately on clicking File>Print or Command-P.  Clicking on Printers in System Prefs crashes System Prefs.  Most of the time even a restart won't solve the issue.   It does seem to resolve itself the next day after I go home and come back to the office.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Lose transparency when printing a brochure on publisher

    Hi Guys, 
    I have designed a brochure for my company in which i have used publisher and have used such designs in which i use fill effects and increase the transparency in order for a picture in the background should show through. on the screen in looks really good
    however when i print it i lose the transparency, how can i avoid this?
    any help is appreciated,
    Joe

    Hi
    The object uses a transparentcolor for a line or fill. When you print to a PostScript or PCL printer, you may see the object olsing its transparency. You can print the transparency as it appears on
    the screen to a color inkjet printer, and the transparency will be displayed correctly when you publish the publication as a Web site or send it as an e-mail message.
    For detailed information refer to the article below:

  • This may sound dumb, but is there an app or a monthly subscription to carry wi-fi or internet connection. so i dont lose connection when i leave my house. want internet connection at all time

    I have an ipod touch 5th gen.  storage capacity is 27.9 / 23.3 available.  IOS 7.1.2    model # ME978LL/A.   My question is, now this may sound dumb. But i was wanting to know if there is a app or a monthly subscription to have internet connection or wi-fi at all times instead of just shutting my ipod off very few apps work without internet connection almost dosen't seem worth 300 dollars.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR INFO.

    Your internet connection depends on access to a wifi network. When you leave your house you go out of range of your own network, so the only way to connect is to find a free or paid public wi-fi service in the location you are in at the time; the alternative is to use your iPhone for what is called 'tethering' (providing a wifi signal you iPod can connect to) but it you have an iPhone you would want to use that anyway (and many service providers don't allow it - in any case it comes expensive as you are using a mobile data connection).
