Lose Internet after installing HP Ink Advantage 2545

After I connect the HP Ink Advantage 2545 to the router's wireless network to start the wireless printing, then I lose the wireless connection to internet. The hardwire connection is still there but not the wireless connection, even from my mobile device.
The following been tried but still can;t fixed the problem.
1. Assign a static IP to Printer outside router's DHCP IP range.
IP Address : 198.162.1.253
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1
2. Reboot the Printer, CPU and Router
Printer : Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545
Router : DSL -2750E
Wireless Security : WPA-PSK
OS : Windows Vista
It is much appreciated if someone can help on this.

When you set a static IP address also set an external DNS 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. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

Hello!
I´m trying to install new cartridges in my HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 for the very first time.

What am I doing wrong? I do as shown in the manual.... Getting crazy soon!!!!

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 all in one not "scanning" properly

I just received my printer today - HP Deskjet Ink advantage 2545. I was so psyched to use the scanner, and when I finally did, I learned that this printer/ scanneer doesn't really scan docs or pictures properly - parts of the scanned docs are covered in black (see sample below). I tried several times, even cleaned the glass (even if it's new, fresh out of the box) but the same thing keeps on happening. Is this printer defective? should I return it to?

Hi @VitoCLN,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 is not scanning properly, I appreciate the screenshot.
I would like you to perform a Hard Reset on the 2545 and retry the scan:
1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
Now continue here with Solution One only: Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans
Were you able to complete the scan successfully?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

Problems connecting to internet after installing Leopard

I have been having problems connecting to the internet after installing Leopard. I have a G5 at my office and use safari and AOL, using a cable modem and router. Everything worked perfect until I installed Leopard. About 3 days after installing Leopard on my G5 I started having problems connecting to the internet. When opening "network" in preferences it tells me I am connected, but I cannot connect. So I have to restart my computer every time in order to connect. Then to top it off, often in the middle of the day I am able to get and send e-mail with AOL, but my Safari does not connect. And even more bizare, if I am connected and sign off my AOL, I lose Safari as well. Brought the G5 into the Mac store and after trying some stuff they told me "it should work now" but ....same problems. So last Monday, I installed Leopard on my Macbookpro which I use at home wirelessly, everything worked well until yesterday when the same issue with my G5 is happening with the macbookpro. No connection, it tells me I am connected, signal is strong, but nothing.....so restart and keep going. What is going on? Anyone else having same problem? Any solutions
Roberto

Roberto,
Is the install of Leopard on the G5 and MacBook Pro an upgrade install or a clean install?
Try some simple maintenance to see if this resolves it:
1. Run Repair Disk Permissions (Disk Utility)
2. Go to Network Utility and go to Ping enter in www.cnn.com and see if the packets are received/sent. This is just to see if you can get to the outside so to speak
3. See if your cable modem manfacturer has a leopard upgrade. Sometimes hardware companies need to upgrade their firmware when new Operating systems come out

HP deskjet ink advantage 2545 All-in-One Series

Bought a brand new one in October but then discovered the paperwork and CD included was for the 2540 model and not the 2545 one which I have. Couldn't take it back to the store (in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) where I purchased as I have misplaced receipt! Have spent ages online trying to see if I can download the software or get the right CD but to no avail. So posting this message as a last resort to see if anyone can please help. As I can't do any scanning in the meantime :-(
This question was solved.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @Belinda1 !
The drivers are the same for the Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 and the 2540 models, so you can install the full feature driver (if available for your operating system), and should be able to scan successfully.
Here is the direct link to the drivers: HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 All-in-One Printer Drivers
If there is still an issue when you try to scan, respond to me with which operating system you're running and I will do my best to assist.
Have a great day!

My Officejet 8000 - Printer says "out of ink even after installing new ink cart. and new print head. I have tried two new cart. and still gives me the error. A few times it will show all inks are full and print a page or two then says it is out of ink. At one point I even was able to clean the heads and align them but same thing occurs. What is wrong??

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 All-in-One Printer

Hello everybody,
got a problem. I bought a new printer. It is a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 All-in-One Printer.
Everything is running pretty good. But when I use the copy function it is not scanning the whole page so I miss maybe 1-2 cm. I can see how the slide stops 1-2cm before the A4 mark.
When I just print something no problem. The printer is able to print the whole page. So it is not the printer I guess.
When I scan something over the PC it is no problem it is scanning till the A4 mark.
The problem just occures during copy.
Thanks in advance for your information and support.

Hey there @emelia , welcome to the forums
I would suggest trying the troubleshooting steps in the guide I've posted below for you (except for changing the cartridges if that is not necessary). If you are still unable to print in proper A4 format, the printer hardware may have an issue and I'd recommend calling HP technical support to see about a replacement unit.

Claim Code for HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545

I am having a very difficult time getting a claim code for my new Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545. I have tried printing all pages that I can and none have a code. Could someone please point me in the right direction. I have spent over 2 hours working on this so far. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi bkjones,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you would like to learn how to setup the ePrint feature of the Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 printer.
This printer does not support HP’s ePrint feature so there won’t be a claim code. I have included the Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 Printer Specification for reference.

Epson r2400 Driver Loses Functionality after Installing Digital Camera Raw

I have four Macs at home and two printers. After installing Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 from software update on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, the Epson r2400 printer driver no longer works. I can barely get a print out of Aperture and/or Photoshop, however, Pages will output to the r2400 no problem. When I try to print with the other Mac Pro that has not been updated, I can print without issue. I can print from both machines to my kyocera mita printer within aperture and photoshop.
All of these computers are running 10.5.2. The only difference being the most recent Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 is installed on the two machines that no longer work with my Epson r2400.
I have uninstalled the print drivers and reinstalled. Changed the connection to the computers and tested everything that has worked in the past. I consider myself pretty good at troubleshooting, but this is beyond my grasp.
I need to print right away from all these computers, so does anyone know how to "roll back" an update? I am not running Time Machine, but that may change very, very soon. Please help...

I'm working off a 750 GB hard drive, not so simple to clone even via firewire. I guess I made a serious mistake by trusting the apple update process...I see they have a new update today. I may try that to see if fixes the problem before I buckle to the original system disk installation process. If the install is already burned, it couldn't hurt to throw some gasoline on it, right?

Anybody else lose internet after computer sleeps?

A 110-23w bought on 2/11/2014. Running stupid windows 8.1. With three hours on tech support ( now waiting on a box)
To ship my brand new computer to the, because it will not reconnect to internet after sleep mode.. does anyone else have this problem.

problem is Windows 8.1. if you do not update to windows 8 on 8.1 would be. I have the same problem and I have only Windows 8.1 I'm still waiting on a driver to fix it. until that time I did not update to Windows 8.1.

Very slow internet after installing 10.5.3

Hello all, this is the very first time I have encountered any problems with my Macbook and I am hoping I can get some help here.
About a month ago I came home from college and hooked my Macbook up to the wireless router at home, everything was running fine. We have fiber optic internet so usually my speeds are blazing fast. Recently however I installed the 10.5.3 update and now my internet speeds are very dismal. I am having trouble getting my Macbook to connect to the router at all, much less load any web pages.
I have taken an ethernet cable and plugged my Macbook directly in to the router to see if things load any faster, and unfortunately things are still just as slow over a wired connection. After typing in a URL you will sit there at a blank web page for about 45 seconds to a minute before it even starts loading the page, and when the page does load it takes forever to pull up and images take even longer to display. If it helps at all our router is a dlink DI-524 wireless router.
I was browsing through these forums yesterday to see if I could find a solution to my issue. so far I have tried the following:
-set router to broadcast in G mode only (instead of mixed mode)
-removed encryption from router
-tried various encryption settings (64 bit WEP, 128 bit WEP, WPA, etc)
-updated the firmware of my router
-created test account on my macbook, opened internet browser on it, everything still runs slow
-deleted cache for safari/mozilla as well as the .plist files, still slow internet
when i called apple the agent suggested putting in my os X CD and do an archive and install, i did and once i was set back to os X 10.5 i was unable to connect to wifi at all, and wired connection over ethernet seemed just as slow as before. when i check for apple updates the 10.5.3 update was my only option, i couldnt choose 10.5.2 so installing that would put me back where i was before.
in the end i set my computer up last night to do a restore from my time machine backup. my machine has been restored to the backup i created just before i tried the archive and install, so im back to running OS X 10.5.3 now.
I'm sorry this post got so long, I just wanted to make sure that I included details of what I've done so far. Again I would like to stress that I am having this problem on my macbook even with my computer hooked directly to the router with my ethernet cable. (using that same cable and hooking up any one of my windows computers in the house results in fast and effortless web browsing so i know the cable is good)

It's not a matter of Mac OS X being "picky" but rather various ISPs not keeping up with changes in the DNS standard.
In the most recent case, 10.5.3 had to revert to a previous method of performing some DNS lookups because various ISPs hadn't bothered to update their servers to handle what has been the recommended way of handling lookups for the past eight years.
OpenDNS also has done a lot of work to make sure their DNS servers work as fast as possible; ISPs have absolutely no incentive whatsoever to provide fast DNS services.

Mac loses internet after wake from sleep, still connected to router

Hi All,
So, I see similar threads, but I'm not sure if this is the same problem. Here's what happening:
-When I wake my Mac from sleep it usually (but not always) loses its internet (but not wifi) connection.
-The loss happens 10-15 seconds AFTER it wakes up. If I go to Safari/Firefox right after it wakes up, I can bring up webpages fine for about 10 seconds. Then, suddenly, pages stop loading.
-The wifi stays connected (I have an airport router) the whole time, and if I go to the airport utility, everything looks fine.
-I know this is not a problem with my internet or my router because I have tried opening web pages on both my iPhone (connected to wifi with cellular off) as well as my PC laptop (I only have it for one program that the company does not make for the Mac and I need for work, haha), and both browse the internet just fine even though my Mac says there is no internet.
-If I restart my Mac, the internet works fine. This is a simple fix, however it's also annoying to have to do it all the time.
-This is happening in different locations, not just on my wifi. It happens in coffee shops, hotels, and airports too.
-Not sure if this is related, but I have also been getting messages in iTunes saying that I need to authorize my computer or apps will be deleted.
-I completely deleted Norton, as I had a hunch it was responsible for this problem (since the internet was disconnecting right after getting an "add location" message from that program). However, even with it completely off my computer, I'm still having the issues.
Any suggestions???

What Mac OSX version are you running? "iOS 8.2" as currently shown in your profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple mobile devices.
If your computer has automatically connected to a lot of networks, say, during travel, that might hinder waking as the computer looks for what networks it remembers. Go to System Preferneces > Network and select your wirelss connection from the left-hand pane. Then click the "Advanced" button in the main pain. That will show the list of networks you Mac has stored:
There could be a lot. Clear out all networks stored there except those you use on a weekly basis. The little box with the "-" icon clears unwanted networks. Restart the computer and see if thising work better.
-I completely deleted Norton, as I had a hunch it was responsible for this problem (since the internet was disconnecting right after getting an "add location" message from that program). However, even with it completely off my computer, I'm still having the issues.
Download and run Etrecheck, a safe way to post a snapshot of your config without revealing any personal information. I'm concerned you did not get all of Norton, or have some other dreck like CleanMyMac or MacKeeper lurking.
