My laptop cannot find my wireless printer. Everything is setup correctly.

I have an HP officejet J6480. Everything worked fine until I purchased a new router. The network has been set up on the pc and the printer. For some reason my pc cannot fine the printer even when the ip address is entered manually. Help

On these kind of laptop the wifi light at front goes blue, when the sliding switch is ON. Make sure it is blue. You can verify laptop's is working or not by going to a hot spot area and connecting to wireless network there.

  • Pls take note that my IPad 3 used to find my printer HP wireless D110. The only thing that I did was to update to IOS 7.  Do you think this is the reason why my iPad cannot find my wireless printer?

  • Laptop cannot find wireless printer HP 2540

    Trying to connect my Acer laptops to HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-one printer.   Printer is connected to wireless network. 
    My laptops cannot find the printer.  I have tried everything suggested, apart from disabling my firewall  which I am reluctant to do as I do not want to have my laptop so vulnerable.  
    Did not have any problem connecting a Windows 7 laptop to former printer, which was a Lexmark wireless model. 
    One laptop is using Windows 7, the other Windows 8.1, but both have the same problem.  
    I am not very technically astute and also I am quite old, so if anyone can help, please keep it simple.

    Hi mev2911, and welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I understand that you are no longer able to get connected to your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer on your wireless network. I suggest that you follow the steps in this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. I suggest that if your computers are not seeing the printer, that you power cycle your network first as this may resolve your issue.
    How to power cycle network
    Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
    1.Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
    2.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
    3.Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
    4.Turn off the computer.
    5.Wait 30 seconds.
    6.Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
    7.Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
    8.Turn the computer back on.
    9.Wait for the computer to reload.
    10.Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
    11.Turn the printer back on.
    I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
    Thank you and have a great day!

  • My laptop cannot find my printer

    Hello - my OS is Windows 7 Home Premium and my printer is HP Officejet 4630.  Both laptop and printer are connected to my wireless router, but my laptop cannot find my printer.  I have gone through all of the instructions given on both the CD setup that came with the printer and online setup  (several times).   What am I missing?

    Hello me-n-oc,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you are unable to connect the Officejet 4630 wireless during the installation. Please follow this HP document on 'Unable to find printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati...
    If these steps don't resolve your issue, then try connecting this printer over a USB cable. Next, please follow this HP document on Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless.

  • My hp top shot laserjet pro m275 cannot find my wireless connection

    Hi there,
    my printer cannot find any wireless connection available.
    and the blue light on the wifi icon is blinking.
    how do I solve this problem so i can print again?

    The blue wireless light flashing means you are not connected to your routers SSID.  You need to go back and connect to your routers SSID with it's password to get the light on solid.

  • Why does it take so long for time capsule to find my wireless printer?

    Since I hooked up Time Capsule, it takes forever to find my wireless printer.  Why is that?

    Did the Traceroute from the Network Utility Software and got the following results; however, not sure I know what I'm doing after that.  Sorry. My printer IP address is: 10.0.1.7.  The only other thing that attaches to my wifi is my laptop (macbookpro) and occassionally my wife's IPAD.

  • Windows XP Toshiba laptop cannot find airport express

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing the same problems (so i've read) many others have.
    My Xp laptop cannot find the base station of airport express, while my macbook has no problems.
    I've tried some of the possible solutions mentioned on this forum, but nothing seems to work for me.
    - i can't fill in a correct ip adress in the airport aid program XP (don't know if this is important)
    - and I don't know where i can find the "channel change" option on my xp laptop.
    I have tried to change the channel to 1 at my macbook wich resulted in having to reinstall ax cause it also couldn't be found on my mac book after this change
    Long story, but i hope someone can help me!
    Kind regards,
    Sonja.

    Do you have access to the Airport Admin Utility? It should be Start ->Airport -> Airport Admin Utility.
    If you have this, and it should be there is you have loaded the AX software, you will see the AX Base Station in the window. Click on it. You will be asked for a password: the default is "Public" (without the quotation marks). Once you have entered the program, you will see a series of tabs across the top of the page. The Airport Tab will give you access to the information that you need to change (e.g., channel, etc.).
    Remember that some Toshiba Laptops have a physical switch that must be turned on in order for wireless to be used. Mine is just underneath the left-hand side at the front of the unit.
    If you purchased your AX in Europe, then you can go all the way up to Channel 13 ... Channel 11 appears to be the maximum in North America.

  • Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer?

    Why can my iPad no longer find my wireless printer? Anyone know? It is an HP Photosmart 5510 printer. I had no problem a couple of weeks ago when I first got the printer. Very annoying! Many thanks jonni

    Jonni-
    Did you make any changes to your system, like a new Wifi router?  Some are not compatible with AirPrint.
    One possibility is that you have a print job stuck in the print queue.  Double click your Home button, and a row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and look for the Print Center.  If it is there, you should be able to delete any stuck print job.

  • Cannot find m1212nf multifunction printer driver to install on w/2008 terminal server (64bit).

    Cannot find m1212nf multifunction printer driver to install on w/2008 terminal server (64bit).  The existing driver wants me to connect the printer using USB.  The printer is in another facility I am trying to support.

    Hi,
    The HP M1212nf used the Host-Based printing language, such printing language is not recommended Citrix or Terminal Services envoirnment and not officially supported.. you may try using the Citrix UPD on the server by installing the basic driver for yor printer on the client:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3965849&task=&
    (ii) HP does not recommend installing these host-based LaserJet drivers on the Citrix server; however, the devices may function by using the Citrix UPD on the Citrix server with the HP host-based driver installed on the client. Print drivers for your product may be available within the Windows 7 operating system.

  • Airport Utility cannot find Apple Wireless Devices, yet I'm online!

    I'm trying to enter in my SSID number for my kid's Wii to get it online, and I've tried to run through their tutorial. It tells me to go to Airport Utility and find my base station. Here's the deal, it says it cannot find my wireless device. And yet here I sit, complaining about it online.
    How can I be online yet the computer not recognize it?

    I finally just hooked up an ethernet connection and it works fine. I think the problem all along was the airport card in my iMac. I currently have my question about my airport card as a reply to another post from someone having a similar issue.

  • My mac book pro with lion finds my wireless printer on start up, but subsequently can no longer find it unless I restart my laptop. any suggestions?

    my ma bookk pro fimds my kodak wireless printer on start up, but after a period of time, can no longer find it and I get a connection error. I have to restart for it to connect again to the printer. I have unistalled and reinstalled the printer software, but the problem keeps recurring. Any suggestions?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • VM created on Win 8.1 Pro Laptop cannot find win 7 iso file on USB

    VM cannot find USB to load Win 7       
    I have a Windows laptop with Win 8.1 Pro installed. I turned on Hyper-V and created a VM. Everything worked up to that point. I also downloaded the Win 7 iso and placed it on a USB thumb drive.  I also downloaded the Win 7 installer.
    When I "start" the VM, I get a black screen with a message the VM could not load an OS.
    It appears to me that the VM does not know where to look for the OS. I cannot find any way to tell it where to look.
    I spent over $300 for upgrades to Win 8.1 Pro and a licensed copy of Win 7 so I could run Win 7 on my laptop as I need it to run UPK (which is not compatible with Win 8).
    As a last resort I went to the Micrsoft store in Miami and offered to buy a Surface Pro 3 if they would install the VM and Win 7 on that for me. They said it was very easy to do and I would have no problems, etc., etc., etc. In other words they did not have
    a clue about what I was talking about.
    I hate to see over $3000 worth of hardware collecting dust on my closet shelf because I cannot use them. I am hopeful someone here can help a non-techie make this thing work.
    Thanks in advance,
    Dennis
    PS - Went to the Apple store last night and was shown a MacBook Air with Parallels installed. It was running Apple stuff on the Apple OS and MS Office 365 on Win 7. It was all very seamless so am leaning very much to going with Apple as a solution.

    You don't say that you attached the iso to the VM.  The easiest way to do
    that is to connect to the VM and then on the console, pull down the
    "Media" menu, Select "Insert Disk", then browse to the ISO and select it.
    Then under the "Action" menu, select "Reset".
    You can also mount an iso in the settings for the VM.

  • My iPhone cannot find my AirPrint printer HP Photosmart 7525.  What do I do?

    My iPhone and iPad cannot find any AirPrint Printers.  MY HYP Photosmart 7525 is AirPrint compatible, what can I do?

    Hey kennethfrommascoutah,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you are having trouble using AirPrint follow this section of the article.
    About AirPrint
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If you're unable to print
    Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
    Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
    Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
    Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
    Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario
