No longer able to print via wireless network

I have an HP OfficeJet 6500A Plus E710N and have had it connected to my wifi network and working properly for some time now. Recently, print jobs would queue up and nothing would print b/c it said the printer could not be found on the network.
I deleted the printer from my print preferences and tried to reconnect, but I can't see the printer on the network.
I have powered off the printer, reset the wifi conncetion (printer still sees router), and properly entered the WEP key.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I inadvertently changed my networks name from "esteroal" to HOME-5022. Both were listed thru EWS. Now I can no longer access my printer network or EWS since I have no IP address for the new network (HOME-5022). HELP

My iPad no longer able to print via wireless

My HP Photosmart 5514 has been working great now it won't print except by email HP ePrint! I can no longer print straight from Pages or Photos. All my connections are good. Why won't it print? I am using iPhone Personal Hotspot as router between my iPad and HP Photosmart 5514. Is it the printer software upgrade I recently downloaded?

Janet4dPlanet,
When you try to print from your iPad what does it say ? Does it find your printer and just not print out or does it say "no air print printers found"?
If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

WiFi no longer able to even see wireless networks

At some point (I believe after installing an update) my iPhone is no longer able to find any wireless networks. It will just continue to "spin" on the choose a network screen and never finds any. Trust me when I say the wireless access point is working and isn't the problem. I used to be able to connect to it and haven't changed anything. Plus there are other iPhone and iTouch users in my house that use it without a problem as well.
Here are the things I've tried:
1. Switch to airplane mode then switch back
2. Reset Network Settings in the general\reset menu
3. Upgrade to the latest and greatest iphone OS
4. Finally, I did a reset to factory defaults losing all of my apps and settings. THIS WORKED until I did a restore of my backup to get my apps and data back.
Is there any way to get this working again without losing everything and starting over?

This is a user to user help forum only.
Copied from my previous post.
If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and/or after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, your iPhone has a hardware problem with the wireless card or with something else. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.
Apple's solution if no change after what was copied from my previous post is an exchange under warranty since your iPhone has a hardware problem. With a hardware problem the only solution is an exchange under warranty. If there is no Apple store nearby, you can call AppleCare. If you have purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, the exchange will be shipped to your door the next business day after calling. If you haven't purchased the AppleCare extended warranty, if you pay $29 the exchange will be shipped to your door the next business day after calling. You must give AppleCare a credit card in case you don't return your existing iPhone within 10 days after the exchange under warranty is received. You use the same box to return your existing iPhone with the return shipping label located below the shipping label to you. AppleCare includes tape to reseal the box and a small paperclip to remove the SIM card from your existing iPhone. The phone number for the shipping carrier is included in the box. When the box is ready to be picked up to return your existing iPhone to Apple, you call the carrier.

Can't connect PC and Mac to print via wireless network

I have the HP Office Jet All-In-One 6500. I've never been able to get both my Mac and PC to print wirelessly.
First, Mac worked fine wirelessly, then had to print via ethernet for PC. Then that quit working for PC. So I uninstalled printer drivers on PC, reinstalled and it works great printing via the network.
However, now my Mac -- my main computer -- wont print. It spends hours "connecting....." MacBook running Leopard OS 10.5.8.
Why can't both computers access this printer over the same wireless network? Absolutely NO settings were changed on my Mac from the time it worked, until now. Only thing I did was get the PC to work.
I've tried turning the printer off and restarting.... didn't help.
I bought this wireless printer so that both computers could use 1 printer.... I don't want to have 2 printers for my little office! Please help HP!

First, please look on the label underneath the router and let us know the exact model and hardware version of the router. Also check which firmware you are running on the router at http://192.168.1.1/ and verify that you are actually running the most current firmware. You can find out which is the newest firmware on the downloads page of the linksys website.
Second, is it possible that you used the Mac before to connect directly to the internet without the router? In that case it could well be possible that the Mac is still doing so, connecting to the internet itself, bypassing the router and thus terminating whatever internet connection the router established before (which the PCs were using).
Third, after being kicked out, please check the following in a command prompt window on the PCs ("Run..." and enter "cmd"). "ping 192.168.1.1" you should still get replies.
Fourth, what is the IP address and gateway address which the Mac gets when getting online?

Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

Hi topgunner,
How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

No longer able to print from wireless MacBook Pro to wired C7280

I originally piggy-backed this onto an existing thread thinking that it was the same issue. It looks like it was something else now, so I figured I probably ought to spin this off onto its own thread.
Details:
Printer: Photosmart C7280 All-in-One, connected to network via Ethernet, IP address 192.168.1.5 (confirmed with Network Menu > View Network Settings > Display Wired Summary)
Router: Verizon/Actiontec MI424-WR (Verizon FiOS) with
* Ethernet ports
* 802.11b and 11g with WPA encryption
Desktop: iMac with Mac OS 10.5.8, Ethernet connection. I originally installed the HP software from the CD when we got the 7280 a few years ago, but we've probably upgraded it since then.
My Laptop: MacBook Pro with Mac OS 10.5.8, wireless connection. I think the HP software was originally downloaded from hp.com (as opposed to the original CD).
Wife's Laptop: MacBook with Mac OS 10.6.3, wireless connection. HP software downloaded from hp.com.
We've been able to print from the laptops to the 7280 until several days ago. After that, anything sent from the laptops stayed on the printer queue without any reaction from the printer, even after the usual tricks (cycling power on printers, holding and unholding jobs, pausing and unpausing printers, etc.)
Our laptops seem to lose the wireless connection a bit more frequently than normal, and at first I thought that was the problem. Lately, however, I can't get anything to print even when the wireless connection stays solid. I can print from the iMac, though.
As noted above, my wife's MacBook has 10.6.3, so I'll try the instructions on other threads for uninstalling the HP software and using the built-in 10.6 drivers. If I can pry the MacBook away from my wife long enough :-)
Meanwhile, I've been trying to troubleshoot my own MacBook Pro. I can ping 192.168.1.5, and I can pull up the printer's web page by entering "192.168.1.5" in my web browser.
So I followed the instructions here:

(title: Mac OS X: Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue and Will Not Print on a Networked Product)
I followed Solution 1 (Delete and readd printer) until I got to steps 7 and 8. The printer wasn't automatically added to the Printers list, so I clicked the Add button, but wasn't able to select my printer from the list. Some of the information in Solution 2 seemed to hint that I had a connectivity problem, and suggested that I look for network connectivity solutions. Unfortunately, all of the network connectivity FAQs referred to Windows-specific utilities, so I decided to uninstall the HP software (using HP Uninstaller). I downloaded HP_Installer_PSC7200_v9.7.1.dmg from hp.com and ran it, but here's what happened:
At the Select Device step, no devices appeared even though the printer was powered up and on the network. (As noted earlier, I can ping it.) I checked "My device is not listed" and clicked Continue; when "Photosmart C7200 series" appeared, I selected it.
At the "Select the Device Connection" subset, I selected "Network." (The "device" in this question is the printer--right?)
I went through the Install step.
No device was listed at the Setup step. I handled this the same way as the Select Device step ("My device is not listed", Continue, click "Photosmart C7200 series", Continue, select "Network", Continue.
This time, I got this dialog: "If your device is not listed, it is not supported by this installer. Please visit www.hp.com/support to download an installer, if one is available" even though this was the correct installer for C7200 and Mac 10.5.
Am I overlooking something? What should I try next?
This question was solved.

It appears that the printer is OK and is on the network. Eventually you may want to set a static IP address for it, but let's get things working first.
The first thing I would try would be to reset the printing system on all the problem Macs:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not do it there may be something going on with the router. I have a few ideas if this is required. Let me know.

Using a printer via wireless network

I am new to MAC and am not quite sure what I'm doing with it yet! My question is how can I make my Mac book recognize my printer through my wireless network. I have 2 other PC's and a labtop in my home that all recognize each other and use the same printer. Is there a way to do this with my Mac or do I need the "airport" thing I keep reading about?

I'm also new to this Mac environment and I'm having the exact problem as you. I cannot install to my windows shared printer (Canon LBP3050). Hope somebody can explain a step by step guide to installing Windows Shared Printers. Tried this done that but nadaa.. Pleaaaseee advice.

Connecting to printer via wireless network

I have a hp photosmart 7760 connected to my main PC, which is connected to my home network. That PC is running Windows XP. I just bought a new laptop running vista 64 bit.
When I try to connect, it tells me I do not have the correct driver installed. I downloaded and installed the vista 64 bit driver from the internet but it still doesn't work.
What's work????? Now I'm wondering if I have to install that driver on my main PC....and if so, will that mess up my ability to print from that PC?
Many thanks to anyone that can help me.

Problems Connecting Computer & Printer Via Wireless

I've recently just bought a HP Deskjet 2544 printer. I've installed the printer as per all the instructions, however when i tried to install this via the wireless it could not find the computer even though it was connected to the wireless in the house. Because of this problem, I was able to install via the USB cable.
Since installing I can print only via the USB cable. I've went back and tried to connect the computer and the printer via wireless and everything is telling me they are connected (i've ran a systems report and all the lights are on, on the printer), however I keep getting the same messafe "unable to connect to your computer".
Any ideas how to fix this, so that I can print wirelessley?
Thanks
Claire

Hi, I am looking for a printing solution for iPads in the office space, my question is how can I print from iPads and if the iPads are connected to a wifi router on a network would I be able to print from a networked printer?

Hi
We are looking at placing iPads in our offices but need to understand the printing options available? I have a number of questions?
1/ Would I be able to print to a networked printer?
2/ what would be the best WIFI Printer available for extensive printing?
3/ Are there any other printing options available?
Thank you in advance!

Turn off your firewall and antivirus software.

Airport Express is no longer able to extend my Airport network.

After the 7.6.1 upgrade, my Airport Express is no longer able to extend my Airport network. I didn't change any configuration, but as I was confirming the configuration options in Airport Utility, I noticed that the option for the Airport Extreme to "allow this network to be extended" is missing and that my Airport Express had been changed to client mode. I really need the capability of extending the range of my network, it worked before the firmware upgrade, so how can I get it back? The hardware are both less than a year old (I bought them in the summer of 2011).

I suggest downloading Airport Utility 5.6
It was released the sameday as 6.0 but it doesn't have the features you used to have as you just found out.

Problem connecting laptop to printer via wireless connection

I installed my HP Photosmart D110 series and the printer is not detecting my wireless internet (which is a Verizon Wireless card) . I only know the basics when it comes to computers, internet, etc. Therefore, this might be a completely stupid question, but is it possible to connect only through my Verizon card or do I need to purchase a router as well?
When I print my Wireless Network Test Report from my printer it tells me that it's recommended to change my network name to make it unique? I have no idea how to do this. And is it even applicable here?
I would greatly appreciate some feedback here.Thank you!

OK,
1. On the printer: Setup > Network > Reset network Defaults
2. On your PC, go to Start > Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center. Look for a wireless network that starts with 'hp" or "HP". Join it. There is no password. On the printer: Setup > Network > WIreless Network Test.
3. Now, in Start > Control Panel > Printers, Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
