New Officejet 4500 will not connect wirelessly

We just got a new Officejet 4500 that I began to set up last night.  First I followed the recommended setup path for setting it up wirelessly: USB connection to my MacBook Pro, install the software, use the setup wizard, etc.  It chugged away for a while and eventually I got back a bunch of errors "Failed to retrieve IP".
I have a wireless hub provided by my ISP which I have set up with WEP (no Mac filtering, no special firewall within the home network).  After googling around for a while I decided to switch to WPA personal.  I got my MacBook working with that, then tried the printer wireless setup wizard again.  No go, same errors.
Next I tried setting it up (still with WPA) directly on the printer using it's menus.  This also didn't work.  The printer printed out a Wireless Network Test Report which looked like this in the Diagnostics Summary:
Wireless On: PASS
Wireless Working: PASS
Network Name (SSID) Found: PASS
Security: PASS
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Settings: PASS
No Filtering: FAIL
Connected: Not Run
Signal Strength: Very Low
Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID): No
Downlink count: 2
Channel: Not Run
I also switch back to WEP and reran the setup via the printer menus, and failed the same way and got the exact same diagnostic summary.
What now?

Hello-
If you have a Officejet 4500 G510g , the printer is not wireless. You can use an ehternet cable and do a network install. That way any device that is wireless can use it as long as your on the same network.
The OJ 4500 G510n is wireless.

  • Cb867A HP Officejet 4500 will not connect to network

    I have tried over and over to connect my cb867A HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer, and it will not work.  I have changed cables, triple checked everything, uninstalled and re-installed software, and I cannot get this printer to work as a wireless printer. I have a Windows 7 64 bit Compaq laptop.  Any ideas on why this is not working? I am certain I am following the directions HP is giving. Thank you in advance for your help.

  • New iphone 5s will not connect wireless to itunes

    I recently upgraded from 4s to 5s on 2 units.  The 4s would sync wireless to airport but both new 5s will not.  Neither my phone or my wife's phones will connect wireless but will when connected.  I have checked 'Sync with this iPhone over Wi-Fi'  under Summary when connected by cable and other system settings on the phones seem to be in order.  I have searched Apple site and believe all necessary steps have been taken.

    I thought I should say something since I had the same problem with iTunes 11.1.3 connecting my iOS devices. iPhone 4, 5, iPad 4th gen, all on latest iOS7. My setup is on macpro 3.1. I tried updating OS, from  OSX Lion, ML and Mavericks. Obviously, updating OS did not solve the issue. iTunes was the latest and greatest at 11.1.3 on all of them. I also had the annoying TRUST message pop up constantly, while it could connect to iPhoto, but no iTunes, for backup and syncing.
    Long story short, found out on various forums people were having success syncing their iOS devices again on previous versions of iTunes. In my case, 11.1. Going back to 10.7, it will not support iOS 7. For this, you need to delete iTunes 11.1.3.
    I found this helpful, but beware it involves Terminal.
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/02/06/delete-itunes-mac-os-x/
    Then, through good ol' google, I could fine a previous version of iTunes 11.1.
    Installed it, connected my iPhone 5, and voilà, iPhone detected as before, and ready to backup and sync.
    Spent many days researching this, it may not resolve the issue for everyone, but I hope it can help some folks running into a similar issue.

  • OFFICEJET 4622 WILL NOT PRINT WIRELESSLY AFTER MULTIPLE TIME TRING TO INSTALL mutiple times

    My printer will not print wirelessly. I see that it is installed and the firewalls are turned off but it will not print

    Hello phdavid53,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Officejet 4622 will not print wireless. I will do my best to assist you! First, I would like to ask you a couple of questions to clarify: When you installed this printer on your computer, were you able to print a document? Did the installation state it had a successful wireless connection? 
    I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    What is your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
    If you were never able to install this printer over a wireless connection through the software, then please follow this HP document on 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati.... I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • Out of no where, will not connect wirelessly​.

    I just purchased a Windows 8 pc. However, I take such good care of my techie things I still have an old Toshiba laptop about 8 years old, maybe a little less that runs just great, it's just the technolgy was getting a little behind. It's the old style "tablet" that has the swivel screen and was considered "heavy" accord to our standards today.
    The Toshiba Satellite (circa 2005) laptop is an XP with all the updates and service packs. I keep it lean and clean with Advanced System Care, have for months with no problem. It was always used to connect wirelessly.
    About the middle of February I switced from Verizon slow DSL to Comcast because we have no other choice for a faster speed. No FIOS. But, I've come back a full 180 to Verizon. However I did get a new modem, the latest advances. It's a D-Link ADSL2+  (DSL2750B)  Supposed to run 3 to 6 times faster than the old Verizon modem I had. When I first connected to the DSL I turned this laptop on, connected wirelessly and it was there great going! I was even hitting almost the top speed I am provisioned for wireless. The modem is only 2 feet away but still. I turned if off, turned my attention back to the new Windows 8 machine for a day couple of days
    Then I wanted to go back and check the Toshiba XP  and revel in it's great performance on this new modem .... drat!!  It detects all local stations, even of course mine, but when I try to connect it tries but fails and jumps to a neighbors DSL. I can however connect with the Ethernet cord.
    I've been using this Toshiba Tablet for months with a USB wireless adapter just fine that a friend gave me. In fact either the internal wireless adapter and the USB worked with not a problem but tests seemed to show his gift of the adapter was a little faster, so I use it exclusively. 
    So neither wireless adapter, internal or USB will connect to my modem. I even tried pressing the WPS button on the modem, the one that's lets someone near log on without a password.
    So there it is. Can anyone have a clue why this worked at the first and now won't?  Also, all other pc's, including a netbook with XP and a new small android tablet are connecting no problem. It's the Toshiba laptop alone that for some reason ...
    out of no where, will not connect wirelessly. Is there an easy fix than uninstalling drivers?  But why would both adapters get a corrupted driver at the same time?  I hope there is help here.  Thanks so much for reading this and consdering my situation.  Jack  ":-D

    Since the computer can connect with the neighbor's router, I don't think there is a problem with wireless connection on the computer. So it has to be some configuration or settings problem with the new modem. I would check the encryption of the new modem. If the computer can see the modem, but not connect, my thinking is that the encryption is blocking the connection. Temporarily disable the encryption on the new modem and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, you may want to check the advanced settings on the modem and compare the IP settings on the computers that work versus the one that doesn't.

  • I updated my IPAD 2 to ios 7 and now it will not connect wirelessly or recognize my blue tooth devices

    I updated my IPAD2 to ios 7 and now it will not connect wirelessly or recognize my blue tooth devices

    Some things to try first:
    1. 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.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. 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
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Brand New C309g will not connect wirelessly with ANY wireless security options enabled

    Printer will connect via wired ethernet. I can use the http utility.
    Printer will connect via unsecured wireless connection.
    Printer defaults to autoconfig (169.xxx)when connected  via WEP (both open and shared), will not connect with a manual IP address. Cannot access http utility.
    Printer won't even autoconfig when connected via WPA-Personal - instead says "No connection found."
    Printer is in the same uncluttered room as the router.
    ALL OTHER wireless network devices work fine and keep up with security changes.
    I have legacy devices on the network that make me want to run with WEP.
    I've run the HP Network Diagnostic. It can access my router just fine. It cannot find the printer.
    Router is D-Link DIR-655.
    I jump through the right hoops - refresh router, restore factory defaults on printer, etc. All other wireless network devices work fine.
    I want to pull an "Office Space" on this brand-new printer - please save me from doing so!

    Ooops, my mistake.  Thanks for pointing it out.
    Another idea is to make sure the firmware is updated on the router.
    Also, from the control panel of the printer: Setup > Network > Wireless Network Test.  It will self-test the printer radio.

  • Officejet Pro 8100 will not connect wirelessly to my main PC

    Was able to connect the printer to the wireless network and will print for a wireless laptop but am not able to select this printer by my main PC.  When asking it to add a new printer it finds the 8100 but freezes at that point and will not connect.  I have reloaded the driver software but the software also freezes when trying to locate the printer.

    Hello wsw1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand the software keeps freezing when "Locating the Printer".
    What is your operating system on this computer? Windows or Mac?
    Try installing this software over a USB connection. Please follow this HP document on Installing Printers Software over a USB Connection.  Choose your correct operating system.
    This will be a test, to verify if the software is able to successfully install without freezing. (Make sure you leave the USB cord out of the computer until it prompts you to connect.)
    If you get this software installed on your computer, then try Convert from a USB connected printer to wireless.
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • HP C4740 will not connect wirelessly to HP desktop

    I have an old HP desktop (prob Pavillion) running Win XP Pro w/ SP 3.  I have 2 MB RAM.  I purchased an HP C4740 AIO printer about 6 months ago.  At first it hooked up fine and performed very well in wireless mode.  Then when replacing an ink cartridge one of the retainer tabs broke.  Long story short I had to replace the unit.  HP gladly did so and I got a brand new one. 
    When I got the new one I hooked it up and installed the software exactly per the instructions for use as a wireless printer.  Unfortunately, no matter what I do it will not connect to my wireless network.  The only way to use this printer is via USB cable.  Two things happen that I find interesting:  it does not recognize the printer (even thought it's connected by USB cable) and it doesn't recognize my wireless network (even though it does recognize another unknown network).  Even when I try to manually enter my network SSID and Passphrase it will not recognize it.  I have also tried unsecuring the network but still no success.
    The network is secured but I have the SSID and passphrase information.  For reference, I have a Dell laptop and Lexmark printer that connect without issue.  My iPhone 4 connects without issue.  This C4740 will not.  I have uninstalled the software and even gone into the registery to locate and remove any entries associated with this printer.  Still nothing works in wireless mode.
    Need help.  I am by no means a computer expert, especially with networking.  I know enough to be dangerous but still make it through the day!  I'm ready to toss this and pay the much higher price for the much more usable Lexmark!  Only problem is I'm just cheap enough that I'm willing to try to make this printer work.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Download the latest installer software for your printer on the link below and save it to the Desktop.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL28119/mp-71555-3/PS_AIO_06_C4700_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175...
    Next download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.
    http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
    Disconnect your printer from your PC.
    Run revo and use it to uninstall your printer software.  Right click on the icon of the program you wish to remove and select Uninstall.  During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries, just select all and then click delete.  Do the same for any left over files and folders.  Once the uninstall has completed, reboot the PC.
    Temporarily disable any security software ( Antivirus and Antispyware )
    Now try running the software installer from your Desktop by double clicking the installer.  Do not connect the printer to the PC until the software asks ( Whether wired or wirelessly ).  If everything install Ok, remember to enable your security software.
    Hope this helps.

  • New WIFI card will NOT connect correctly.

    Hi,
    I just purchased a Gigafast WF748-CUI wireless card for my iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.10) and I followed the instructions exactly and did everything right but it will NOT connect. It keeps generating these weird IP addresses beginning with 168. but my networks IP address begins with 192. I had the same problem with my previous WIFI card on the iMac but it would work eventually. I have been messing with this one for like 2 hours and it has shown no sign of working. I even entered a manual IP address in but still nothing. The program for the wireless card says its connected but it is not (or isnt connected to the right IP anyway). What do I do?

    Sooo, there's no way the CP has to "Join" a Network? Just says you're connected to 169.x.x.x?
    Might try making a New Location in Network CP, turn off all other Ports, the set the IPv4 settings to Manually...
    IP: 192.168.0.5
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.0.1
    Assuming the Router is 192.168.0.1, but change the 2nd & 3rd digits accorcdingly.

  • New Airport Express will not connect to internet

    I am attempting to upgrade from an old Airport Base Station (the gum drop/flying saucer/mushroom model) to the new and improved mini tower model. I plugged the ethernet cable from the comcast cable modem in and nothing worked - no wireless, no internet, no nothing but flashing amber light. I was able to configure a new wireless network, and it shows up on MBPro running Maverick and iPad using Airport Utility as a functioning wireless network (with the green light on the AE), but it will not connect to the internet. Any suggestions?

    The only step that appears to be missing is to reset your cable or DSL modem. Unplug it and let it rest a moment or two, then power it back up again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2460
    You've done everything right, but still can't connect to the Internet. Why?
    It is likely that the modem locked onto your iMac, and it will ignore anything else you plug into it until the modem has been reset. If you were to plug the iMac back into the modem, it would still connect to the Internet.
    Fortunately, resetting a broadband modem is usually very easy -- just unplug its power supply, wait a moment, and plug it back in. After its indicator lights have gone through their startup routine, you should do the same to the AirPort base station.
    Odds are that you can connect to the Internet now.
