MF4890dw lost wireless after changing toner cartridge

Have MF4890dw, had set up and using for over a year, no issues. Had been getting "low toner" message for a while. Had recently moved wireless router further away, but was printing with no issues. When toner started printing lighter, changed the chartridge. Now will not print wirelessly at all. No error messages on printer.
I wouldn't think changing the toner would be connected to wireless connection in anyway, but it was printing litteraly earlier that day.
Any suggestions?

Hi lostboydp.
Normally, changing the toner cartridge will not affect the connection of the printer. It appears that the machine may be set for an automatic IP address via DCHP. This just means that the IP address of the machine will change periodically. Sometimes, this can cause the printer to stop working, since the drivers work directly with the IP address that was set during the time of installation.
I recommend setting a manual IP address by following the instructions below:
1. Open the [Devices and Printers] window.
2. Right-click on the MF4800 Series icon and select [Printer Properties].
3. Click on the [Ports] tab, and then write down the IP address of the selected port (You may need to click on "Configure port".)
4. Open the Windows search and type 'cmd', then hit 'Enter'.
5. In the Command Prompt screen type "ipconfig".
6. Write down the Subnet Mask and Gateway for your network.
Next, go to the printer and follow the instructions below:
1. Scroll to [Network Settings], and then press [OK].
2. Scroll to [TCP/IP Settings], and then press [OK].
3. Scroll to [IPv4 Settings], and then press OK.
4. Scroll to [IP Address Settings], and then press [OK].
5. Scroll to [Auto Obtain], and then press [OK].
6. Scroll to [Auto IP: Off], and then press [OK].
7. Highlight [Apply], and then press [OK].
8. Scroll to [Manually Acquire], and then press [OK].
9. Select [IP Address] and enter the IP address you wrote down in the earlier steps.
10. Press [OK]. Do the same for the Subnet Mask and Gateway Address, and then press [OK].
11. Press the [Copy] button to exit the menu.
12. Now turn off the machine and wait for at least 10 seconds and then turn the power back on.
It is necessary to restart the machine to take effect the settings.
If you are still unable to print, please move the printer closer to your router and follow the instructions again.
I hope this information is helpful to you. If the error persists, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

Colors off after changing toner cartridges

I just replaced two toner cartridges, M and Y using a third party brand bought from Amazon. The cartridges received high reviews, but now, when printing, my colors are way off. The printer prints but does note that I am not using genuine HP toner. Is this a "feature" of HP printers to make you buy their cartridges? Is it the result of having two (K and C) cartridges that are HP-branded mixed with the others? Something else? I did print a test page, and it looked just fine. I am printing something (a logo) which I have printed hundreds of times from the same Mac to the same printer with the same software. I don't see any way to calibrate the printer?

Do a google search for the troubleshooting service manual for your printer. Then look for instructions for entering the secondary service manual where you will find the option to calbirate the color. This may help or may not depending on the condtion of the toners you purchased.

Will the penfailure be solved after changing the cartridges? Installing printer again did not help.

Hp Print Diagnnostic Utility detected 'Pen Failure' I tried reinstalling printer driver again, checked cartridges installation for correctness, cleaned contact points but they did not help. Will the penfailure be solved after changing the cartridges? Installing printer again did not help.

Yes, I did try it.
I completely uninstalled Firefox (including personal settings, bookmarks, add-ons etc.) and then I installed Firefox 24 from scratch. The outcome is unchanged. Namely, it installs it and then right when it is about to start for the very first time, it hangs. If I run the task manager I can see the process firefox32. It shows as if it is running. But in fact it is hanging doing nothing. It is almost as if the process is waiting for something to happen and that never occurs. Note that this should not have anything to do with, say, an incompatible add-on/plug in because I had them all removed. I also removed adobe flash prior to the installation and run the malware removal program too.

Hello NikDk, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having print quality issues. I would like to help with that!
First thing I would suggest, would be a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
Second, I would recommend utilizing this document on Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M475dw doesn't print in color after replacing toner cartridges

Replaced all color toner cartridged when printer indicated they were empty. Printer is no longer printing in color. It's as though it doesn't recognize that new cartridges were installed. Is there something I need to reset on the printer?

Run a supplies status page from the report menu to see if any color appears. If it does you either have a driver issue or one or more of the colors cartridges is still reading as empty as there is a setting to print using black and white when one or more color cartridges are empty. I believe it is under the print quality menu.

Lost Photo after changing photo file name

Due to duplicate file name, e.g. P1002534.jpg in my photos, I was trying to rename some of them to a different name. I did that through Finder and other tools (e.g. Renamer) but apply directly to /iphoto libray/original or /iphoto libray/modified libraries.
After that I find that the thumbnail of the photo is still in iphoto but cannot display the photo itself.
I suspect that is because I modified the file name directly and not using iphoto function, the index is all screw up.
How can I recover from this, is there a reindex function or do I have to delete the iphoto library and then re-import the photos for the whole library again.
Appreciate for any advice.

I suspect that is because I modified the file name directly and not using iphoto function, the index is all screw up.
You are correct - it is extremely important that you never make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - it is a SQL database and there are no user servicabe parts in it - and there never is a need to go into it
How can I recover from this, is there a reindex function or do I have to delete the iphoto library and then re-import the photos for the whole library again.
Best way is to load your backup from before you made this mistake
If you do not have a backup you must - people, software and computers fail and when they do you lose things if you do not have a backup
If you can put the library back exactly likeit was in every respect that will sork (usually that is not possible)
short of a backup or putting it back you must start over using the original folder from your library and importing those original photos into a new library

When do I REALLY need to change toner cartridges?

I replaced my original black cartridge already, but I have never replaced the color cartridges. Black is currently indicating "low" and the color is indicating "very low", yet I am still getting excellent quality prints. However, just today, the printer started to cycle through "Cleaning" after each 1 page job. Is it time to replace?
Thanks--

@rain007
That is great news! You stated that these were the original color cartridges...if these are the original starter color cartridges that shipped with this printer than the predicted page count is around 600 pages not the 1300 I started earlier. The 1300 pages count yield is for color cartridges that you would buy to replace the started cartridges that ship with the original printer.
Let me explain...this printer ships with what we call "starter cartridges", cartridges meant to get you started printing and usually have to lower page count. You replace these with a higher page count cartridge (the ones I started in the early message) soon after setting up the printer or within the first year, depending on how much you print.
Because you are at 3005 pages on the color cartridges, I would replace the color cartridges if these are in fact the orginal starter cartridges. While you might not be seeing the issue or a degardation in your print jobs today, it will probably presist in the future because you are still using the starter cartridges. But again this is going to be your preference.
Does this make sense?
Looking forward to hearing what you find out about your firmware. Please let me know if you have any questions about this above information.

HP 6510 printing only blank pages after changing print cartridges

Hi,
My HP 6510 is printing only blank pages after I installed new print ink cartridges. I tried cleaning the print heads, aligning the printer... which did result in some pages printing with a little color (but it seemed "off" to me). That said, when I try to print a regular document from my PC it only prints a blank page.
I can't seem to figure this one out on my own - please help!
Thanks!
Chloe

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart 6510. Be sure the cartridges are vented as shown in solution two.
Is your printer still in warranty? You can check with HP's warranty tool here.

Lost navigation after changing SharePoint group names

This morning I've changed the names of security groups of one of our subsites on our SharePoint intranet. After that, I noticed that the navigation did not mention the document libraries any more. I cannot believe changing the name of a security group can
have this consequence. Yet, I can see no document libraries any more in my navigation since this morning.
When I take a look at the navigation under site settings, I can still see these document libraries.

Problem was audience targeting.
Do the following,
Click the document lib and click edit
Now you have popup one window on this change the new group name under audience

Lost wireless after firmware update

I updated the fimware on my WRT160N v3 and followed it up with a reset of the router. I then restored the router settings that I had saved. All the settings appeared to be good, but none of my wireless devices would connect. I reneted the pass phrases (WPA2) but still nothing. Tried to change the passphrase, still no good. I then did a factory reset of the router from the setiings page and manually re-entered and save the settings, again nothing. All of my devices are able to "see" the network and the correct SSID. Not sure what to try next.

If still that does not work follow the following steps:
30/30/30 Hard Reset
The following procedure will clear out the NVRAM and set Router back to default values:
With the unit powered on, press and hold the reset button on back of unit for 30 seconds
Without releasing the reset button, unplug the unit and hold reset for another 30 seconds
Plug the unit back in STILL holding the reset button a final 30 seconds....
Then reconfigure the Router once again and then check the concern....

Lost wireless after using Goodreader file transfer

After creating computer (MacBook Pro)-to-computer (ipad) wireless network using Goodreader, my wireless does not work at home or in hotels (WEP), it is effective at work where we use 802.1x. It disabled my ipad wireless too! HELP! Whenever it asks for my password, I get a connection timeout. If I enter the wrong password it tells me that it was the wrong password. We erased my computer, re-uploaded my backed up files, and it still does it.

Without going into a long winded answer, the only thing I can really offer is to say this... If you feel as though your code has been correctly written and you simply cannot identify any other possible solution, add SYNCHRONIZE. In short, its execution acts similar to a reset or refresh button.
Another common place where SYNCHRONIZE has been helpful is when calling RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. For example, if you use the code we offer in the Forms/Reports Integration document you will find that it works very well - most of the time. However, sometimes it fails for what seems to be unexplainable reasons. If you message out the values being assigned you will see that some variable values are not being set even though the code execution has already passed the point where a value should have been assigned. Adding the SYNCHRONIZE just after the point where the value should have been assigned forces the assignment before executing the next line of code. For example,
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
     rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
In the above code, a request for a report is made followed by a check of its status. At this point you would expect that the status would be something like one of the following:
     'RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED'
However, we have seen instances where the value assigned to the variable would actually be NULL, which of course will make the rest of the code likely fail. By adding SYNCHRONIZE the problem is correctable.
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
     rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
     SYNCHRONIZE;
It is important to understand, however that using SYNCHRONIZE comes at a price. Each time it is executed a network round-trip occurs which will give the application the appearance of degraded performance. So use this built-in only when you know you must.

Failure to print alignment page after changing ink cartridge

I just replaced the tricolor ink cartridge in my ENVY 5530 printer and after installing the new cartridge the unit is stuck in a loop of "Now printing alignment page..." however there is no noise indicating that the page is being fed. Attempts to cancel the action also result in a prolonged "Cancelling ..." but with no action. Based on other comments in this forum I have:unplugged the unit.removed all ink cartridgesRestarted the unit - where in I receive a message that I should use the power off button to prevent damage to the unit.reinstalled the cartridgesAttempted to print the alignment pageHowever the cycle simply repeats itself.Any assistance would be appreciated - the unit was functioning perfectly fine before it simply ran low on ink and used the ink cartridge sent by HP Ink service as the replacement unit. Many thanks in advance.

Hi SolomonI, Welcome to the HP Forums. I see that you are having an issue after you have installed new ink. I see that you have done numerous steps in the attempt to resolve this issue. You stated that you unplugged the unit from the power source. Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. One thing to try is to by pass the alignment page and see if the unit will print from a copy or print from the computer. Let me know how you make out. I will be happy to research other options if needed. Cheers,
