Macbook can't connect to B110 printer by WiFi

Hi,
Whenever I enable WPA or WPA2 security on the WiFi, my Macbook will not be able to print/scan to the B110 printer via wireless network, though I can access the printer with the IP address at my browser and scan from the web interface. The PC at my home has no problem. Also, my Macbook can print/scan to the printer without any issue if no security is enabled for the wireless network. What's the solution?
I have tried all the suggested solutions, including reseting the printer in the pref, uninstall the HP software, but to no avail.
Config:
Mac OS X 10.6.6
Updated to the latest printer driver from HP (version 3.2)
Router: Level One WBR-6011
Thanks a lot for your help!

Is this a router that is supplied by your ISP? Is it a DSL or FIOS service?
If so, let's reinstall the printer in this manner:
- Unplug the Internet line that runs between the router and the wall
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the router.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- On that screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, 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 know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router IP (its on the self-test printout) in the Gateway and first DNS field, leave the second blank.
- Click 'Apply'
- Finally, plug in the Internet line, reboot the router and test.

Can't connect computers to printer (b210) via network because there are "other networks"

I can't connect computers to printer (b210) via network because there are "other networks matching your network name". This makes no sense at all. I have several Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, iMac) all with the latest software. The printer works fine when using the USB connection to my iMac. Nothing I do seems to solve this problem (rebooting, re-configuring, etc.). Help.

Hi Cgold,
If there are other networks matching your network name, then the printer will have issues connecting when you run the wireless setup wizard.
However, there are other options:
If your router supports 'Wi-Fi Protected Setup' with either a button to push on the router, or a pin to enter, you can choose that connection option under the wireless menu on your printer.
or
Change the network name that your router is broadcasting within the web page of your router (NOTE-this would force you to re-join all wireless devices back to the new network name you have created).
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Restart your router. Unplug it and let it reset.
While you do that you might as well power down the printer and restart the iPad / iPhone as well.
Power everything back up, and AirPrint should be restored.

Hello my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi

Hello to all, with my iphone 3g can not connect to home network via wifi. This only happens if I apply protection to the network. Unprotected my Iphone connects fine.

Hey there arunvdi,
It sounds like you are unable to connect to the Wi-Fi created by your Personal Hotspot. I recommend these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iOS: Troubleshooting Personal Hotspot
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2756
Try disabling and reenabling Personal Hotspot from Settings > Personal Hotspot or Settings > General > Cellular > Personal Hotspot.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Wi-Fi troubleshooting
If you encounter an issue using Personal Hotspot with other Wi-Fi devices, try the following:
Turn Personal Hotspot off.
Verify Wi-Fi is on in Settings > Wi-Fi.
Turn Personal Hotspot back on.
If another device is unable to join your Wi-Fi network, ensure that the user enters the Wi-Fi password correctly. If the device cannot see your Wi-Fi network, verify your device name.
Note: Windows may not properly display a device name that uses non-ASCII characters.
Verify how many devices are currently using your Personal Hotspot. Depending on your wireless carrier and, the maximum number of Wi-Fi connections may be limited to three at one time.
If the other device still cannot connect, try turning Wi-Fi off and on again on the device. Verify that your device can see other Wi-Fi networks.
Note: If you see an "Unable to Join" or timeout error when trying to connect a device using Wi-Fi, ensure that you remain on the Personal Hotspot screen until the first device connects. After a device has connected, you can leave the Personal Hotspot screen and use your phone normally. Your device will automatically stop broadcasting using Wi-Fi if you put your device to sleep or after 90 seconds elapse with no devices connected using Wi-Fi. You can start broadcasting your Wi-Fi network again by tapping Settings > Personal Hotspot.
If none of the previous steps resolves your issue, restore the iPhone.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Sterling

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Equium A200 can not connect to the interest using Wifi

Hi,
Since having to reinstall Windows Vista Ultimate, I can not connect to the interest using Wifi. It works fine for Ethernet, but when choosing the "Connect to the Internet" screen, its blank and will not find any wifi connects or let me manually connect to one.
In Device Manager under Network Adaptors, it now only shows the Ethernet Controller and not the Wifi adaptor. I have tried to download the driver from this site and after rebooting nothing has changed. I have made sure the machine has all the latest Windows updates as well. I have also mader sure that the wifi button is switched on at the front of the machine.
Also one a side note I cant seem to find the exact name of the Laptop in the system section of Control Panel other than Equum A200. On the download driver page there is NOT a A200 listed only A300 and A300D.

I guess you didnt look into the Archive the A200 is a little bit older therefore the drivers are placed in Archive!

How can I make sure my Macbook Pro stays connected to my printer?

Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
Here is my set-up:
Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
"Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.
Look at [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2588489] for more information.
*Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.

Can't connect to shared printer on Windows 7 Pro x64

I have a print server on Windows 2008 Standard and I have drivers installed for both x86 and x64 archs. The ricoh printer seems to work fine on windows 7 pro x64 but the hp printer will not work correctly. It seems to download/install the drivers but when actually connecting to the printer it errors out.
It says cannot connect to printer.
I can add the printer manually if I use tcp/ip printing instead of connecting to the shared printer. I can't figure out why its not working. Has anyone else seen an error like this? I'm not really sure what is causing this issue.
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Please also let us know the exact model of this HP printer.
If possible, please reproduce this issue on the Windows7 client and collect the relevant information for further research.
Step 1: Download Process Monitor

MacBook Pro cannot connect to wireless printer

I just replaced my printer with an HP Photosmart plus e all in one B210. I set it up and it connected to my network and prints fine from my PC. When I installed the software on my MacBook, it is able to find the printer, but after installation is complete it is unable to connect. I have checked the HP support page but it appears I have done everything correctly. I am assuming there is a setting or two that I need to tweak but I cannot figure it out. I have turned off firewall, and all devices are connected to the same network. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently my original post was not clear enough. The printer shows up in Print&Fax under System Preferences as idle with a green dot. I have tried with "share this printer" selected and printer sharing turned on but still does not connect. The printer works just fine with my PC connected via ethernet to a dual band Airport Extreme. I have installed/reinstalled the software several times and the printer says it has the latest firmware. I am also unable to utilize the AirPrint feature with my iPhone 4 running 4.2.2.

TS1398 I have an iPad mini, because of my work network firewalls I am not able to use the airprint function to print. I was told you can direct connect to a printer. I am not sure how as I have not seen any cables for a lightning connection to a printer c

I have an iPad mini, I am connected to my work wireless connection. My printer also is on the same wireless network, however I am not able to print to my airprint enabled printer through this wireless connection. Is there a way to direct connect to the printer via a cable ?
I am missing something here on the connection. I am thinking possibly a firewall here at work will not allow me to use the airprint function. Help ?

There is no support for wired printing.
It is probably a firewall issue, possibly where all inbound communications are blocked. Since you're at work, I'd call your work IT department and find out from them what you can/can't do.
