My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened.
So can someone please help and please dont be too technical

HP Officejet 6500A Printer will not connect to WPA wireless network.

An HP Network Configuartion Report from my printer states that the printer's Authentication Type is WPA-PSK. My router is WPA2 or WPA and won't connect to the printer. What is the solution to this problem?

Hi DWILKEN welcome to the Forum,
I understand that you are trying to get your printer connected to your router. I will try my best to help you do this. In this document for Installing the Printer Software on a Wired (Ethernet) or Wireless Network (Using an Access Point) are the steps needed to install the printer on the router. In order to connect them you will need to connect the printer to the wireless network before trying to install it on your computer.
Here is a document on How to Find the WEP or WPA Key or Password for Your Network as you will need this to connect your printer to your router.
I hope this information helps, let me know how it goes.
Thank you,

Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
Does the iOS devices see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

MacBook Pro will not connect to Cisco Wireless Network

I have just bought a brand new MacBook Pro, running Leopard (OSX 10.5.1) and I just cannot get it to connect to the Wireless Network at my workplace.
The MBP connects to wireless network and authenticates just fine, but will not obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
The wireless network consists of 16 Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Points controlled by a Cisco Wireless Network Controller. It does not broadcast its SSID and is WEP 128-bit hex protected.
Changing the network from WEP to WPA is out of the question for me as this is under the control of my customers IT Department and they do not have any problems with their PCs connecting to the network. It appears to be an Apple issue.
For reference, my old Vaio PC, my Nokia N95 and my iPod Touch ALL connect to the same wireless network without any problems whatsoever, first time, every time!
If I boot into Windows XP from my Boot Camp partition, XP can connect wirelessly to the network without any problems, so it is not MacBook hardware related...
It has to be a bug in Mac OSX... doesn't it?!?
Things I have already tried (following suggestions on many forums):
* Switching Airport off/on
* Deleting various network-related Plist files and rebooting
* Manually assigning an IP Address (not really permitted but doesn't work anyway!)
* Disabling all network adaptors except Airport
AP Grapher shows that the MBP is connected to the wireless network, at good strength, and packets are being sent and received, but Internet Access is not possible as no IP Address has been assigned. Instead, my MBP shows a 169.* IP Address (self-assigned). It should be a 10.1.255.* address.
Can anybody please help? Thank you.

i posted this same reply elsewhere because it worked for me for my Buffalo wireless router: try manually setting your IP address instead of relying on DHCP, which sometimes (I don't know why) doesn't work well with Macs. It's a good get around. I am a happy Mac user but nothing is perfect on earth, and when the Mac gives problems, it does give a lot of frustration. Macs are not as easy to troubleshoot as Win because a Mac is built to be user friendly(and it works most of the time), meaning a lot of the background computing stuff is hidden away from users to avoid user accidentally upsetting some settings.
Unfortunately, the highly automated troubleshooting wizards provided by OS X are not perfect so when these software wizards fail to resolve the problem, like my Network Diagnostics, I have to spend more time tinkering around. There's "Terminal" of course but then most of us, especially PC converts to Macs, don't know how to use it.
You should also try updating your MBP, see if there are any new updates being released.

IPad 4th gen will not connect to some wireless networks

My iPad 4th generation will not connect to some wifi ssid's. My iphone connects and my wife's iPad mini connects just fine. Some wifi'so always connect and others do not. I notice it often in hotels. I also have two wireless routers at home. One connects fine. The other only connects via 5g broadcast, not on normal ssid broadcast, yet all other devices can connect just fine. Is this a hardware issue? Or some sort of setting?
I have tried every fix I have read online:
reset network settings
toggled airplane mode
toggled wifi button
rebooted
ineven reset my iPad to factory condition and reloaded everything from backup

New 15" MBP will not connect to my wireless network

This is my first Mac, so I will try to give as much information as possible.
I have a brand new (got it yesterday) 15" MBP and it refuses to connect to my home wireless network. It is an older "g" network using a Linksys router and 128bit WEP encryption. For reference - I have an iPad and 2 iPhones in my household, and those have all connected to the same network without problem, as have the 2 windows laptops that my wife & I use for work so I don't think it's the network.
Anyway - I fired up the MBP and went through the set up assistant. When I try to join my wireless network, it detects the network fine. I select the network and try to connect. It goes throught the process and then I get a prompt that says "Network conditions have changed". I click OK and it prompts me to enter the password for the wireless network. (At this point I have the little exclamation point in the wifi symbol on the top of the screen telling me I have no internet access - which I believe is how it's supposed to look).
On the password screen, I select "WEP 40/128 Hex" as the password type - on the security information screen in the router set-up it says "WEP 26 hex 128 bit" as the type, so I believe that's the correct password type for the MBP. I enter the 26 digit key (the same one that I used to connect the iPad/iPhones) and after trying to connect for a couple minutes I get the "Network conditions have changed" prompt again. I click OK, and then it tells me it failed to connect to the network.
I have tried entering the WEP key with a "$" in front of it and entering it with "0x" or "0X" in front of it and the same thing happens. I've also tried changing the password type to "WEP Password" and entering the password I used in the router to generate the hex key, and the same thing - it tries to connect and then I get the "Network conditions have changed" prompt and it tells me it failed to connect.
I am at a loss. I haven't touched the router's settings because everything else I have (Apple and non-Apple products) have all connected just fine - all I've had to do is enter the WEP key and they have connected.
What am I doing wrong? Is the MBP somehow different and I need to change something in the router settings? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, BT Hubs do not play well with HP printers, probably because they do not strictly follow wifi standards.
One thing to try is to change your encryption to WPA ONLY.

My hp office jet printer will not scan a document wirelessly print works fine on wireless any thoughts on this problem

my hp printer will not scan a document wirelessly the wireless print funtion works fine i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document any thoughts on how to do this wirelessly thanks

i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document
This is because HP has not provided network USB drivers to allow scanning when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
HP has only provided drivers to allow printing when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. To be fair, other manufacturers who offer all-in-one products do the same thing.
If you need to scan documents, you will need to connect the all-in-one to the USB port on your computer....until HP offers full featured network USB drivers. Check with HP Support for possible progress in this regard.
If your all-in-one happens to offer wireless connection options or wired Ethernet options to connect to your network, you should have full functionality that way.

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home. I have restared the phone and toggled the router, still no connection

After updating my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.1 it will not connect to the wifi network at work even though it recognizes it. It however still automatically connects to the network at home (this is the network I used to update the phone). My iPad however does not seem to have any problem connecting. I have restared the phone, toggled the router, re-entered the network password but there's still no connection.

When your device is trying to connect to the work Wi-Fi network, go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then tap on the name of the Netowrk that she is having trouble with. Then tap on forget this network. Let the device attempt to connect again and make absolutely sure she is trying to connect to the work network and not a nearby network, then make absolutely sure the password is entered correctly.

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Could not get it to connect. Changed router's setting to Channel 6 and IPad connected. Even after 6.0.2 it will not connect to some home networks although it will to public networks e.g. McDonald's.

Recently purchased iPad Mini. Downloaded iOS 6.0.1. Could not get it to connect to Home WiFi using Linksys G Router. Have another Wifi Network in Home (CenturyLink provided it as a DSL/Router combo). Would not connect (nor would my iPhone 4s or my wife's iPhone 4) until I accessed the router's setting and changed to broadcast on Channel 6 and then IPad connected. I suspect the only reason the iPhone were still connected to the Linksys network is that they were before I "upgraded to iOS 6. Even after 6.0.2 the iPad and both iPhones will not connect to some home networks (its random) although thye will connect to public networks e.g. McDonald's, Panera, etc.

TS1398 I have an Iphone 5 and it will not connect to any WIFI networks - I have tried following the steps above (including reseting network settings) but it just says 'incorrect password' every time. How can I resolve this?

you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

My iPod touch 5th generation will not connect to secure WiFi networks.

My 5th gen iPod touch will not connect to Secure wifi networks. It always says incorrect passcode.

It is fine connecting to unsecure networks though. please help me.

Make sure your network has 802.11b activated. The G3 only supports the "B" wireless networking protocol. Modern networking is "G".
