Officejet 6600 All But One Laptop Can Connect To Wireless Network Printer

One windows and 2 macs can connect to the wireless printer over the newtwork just fine  but one (Windows 7) will not. HP Print and Scan Doctor can discover the printer from that laptop as "visible"  but repeatedly says " need to install full software" which I've done, and after, it  runs install wizzard reports, the IP address I've entered is wrong, which it's not. Firewalls are off.  I've un and re installed, tried windows add device which can't connect either. I've had this problem before with this laptop but just can't remember how I fixed it. I remember getting to a screen that offered the option of installing over a nework or wireless directly to the printer and over the network fixed it, but I can't remember how I got there. Any ideas as I'm at wits end. Thanks

Welcome to the forums @Davidchicago ,
I read through your post about the installation troubles you are having with one of your Windows 7 computers and your Officejet 6600. I am here to let you know what my suggestion is for you!
There could be a program blocking the installation and causing the problem. I'd recommend a Clean Boot, restarting your PC, disabling your firewall and running through the installation again.
Hopefully that will get you through the install. Let me know the results!
Have a great weekend

  • HP OfficeJet 8600 All-In-One cannot be connected

    I just bought a new HP OfficeJet 8600 All-in-One printer.  It's a wireless unit and initally connected to my home
    network no problem and I could print from several puters in the house fine.  I have Bell internet with a wireless
    home router that uses DHCP.
    Today, my wifes win7 laptop is unable to print to it for some reason.  I tried to delete the printer from her computer
    and re-add it however, the computer when I run the HP installer software to reach the printer, it isn't able to connect
    to it.  During the installation, it say:
    Discovering Device....
    and never leaves there.
    However, I can define the printer in Windows "Add a Printer" using the HP OfficeJet K8600 printer driver.
    One thing on the IP address that the printer is using.  I checked it on the printers configuration vs what the windows
    printer definition had and it was wrong on the printer driver configuration.  I used the HP utility to update the printer IP
    address to what the printer is currently using.
    Any ideas on why the printer cannot be re-added using the HP all-in-one installer?

    I would bet it is your router.  Its supplied by your ISP, right?
    First, restart the router by pulling its power cord momentarily.
    Next, set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Laptop can't see Wireless network

    I turned off my power strip the other night which turned off my Lynksys WRT54G router. When I fired it all back up, my laptop can't see the router. My blue-ray was connected to the router via ethernet for Netflix and it is still able to work through the ethernet cable and I can get online with my laptop with an ethernet cable, it just won't see my network wirlessly. It can see neighboring wireless networks though. Help!

    Advise you to log on to wireless router configuration page and recheck the wireless configuration again, try to find out any incorrect configuration. If need more ideas, can take a look on this wireless network troubleshooting tips article, hope able to help you more.

  • TS1398 I can no longer connect to my home wireless on my ipad2, have done all the suggested fixes, still cannot connect.  Daughter cannot connect her iPod, but husbands laptop is connected to wireless.

    All of a sudden my ipad will not connect to our home wireless.  I have reset the wireless settings, turned my ipad off and back on, turned off wireless and back on, basically have done all of the fixes suggested and still I cannot connect.  My daughter cannot connect her iPod either, but my husbands laptop can and is connected to our wireless.  The wireless is working and until two days ago I had no problems connecting.

    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

  • Busy signal when faxing with hp officejet 6600 all-in-one

    I keep getting a busy signal when faxing with all numbers.

    Hi @pbr69,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I noticed that you are getting a busy signal when faxing with the HP Officejet 6600, and I am happy to help!
    I would recommend to look through this faxing guide, to make sure it is properly configured. Cannot Send or Receive Faxes.
    Also depending on the type of phone connection you are using you may require a different type of configuration. Please also see, How to connect your HP Fax Device to an ISDN, ADSL, PBX, or VoIP line, if you are using one of those types of lines.
    Hope this information helps, and have a wonderful day!

  • WRT54G v6 - Can Connect to wireless network but can't access internet

    Ok, this is my last resort for help. I spent two hours yesterday with linksys "chat" support to no avail.
    First the techincal details:
    OS for all machines = Windows XP
    Laptop w/two adapters - one wired, one wireless
    WRT54G v6 upgraded with 1.00.9 firmware
    SpeedStream modem from DSL provider
    I have manually set the IP, subnet mask, gateway, primary and secondary DNS for my wireless adapter (using the Alternate Configuration in the Internet Protocol Properties of the Wireless Network Connection). When I connect to the wireless network I see that the IP, subnet, gateway and DNS server IPs are all correct (via ipconfig /all).  I see that I am connected to my SSID (11.0 MBps, signal strength Excellent) however I can't access web sites (the server not found message appears in the browser) nor can I ping the router IP or any other IP (LAN or WAN).
    My wired PC works fine with this router. My laptop works fine with this router when wired. 
    Anyone face a similar situation and have a solution?  Thanks.

    A new discovery...
    When I disable the wireless security on the router, I am able to connect to the wireless network, ping the router and access the internet.  So, there is apparently something wrong with the WEP security (although I am able to connect to the wireless network when WEP is enabled). 
    I am thouroughly confused. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

  • Can connect to wireless network but no internet?

    Ok, I'm sure this is answered somewhere, but I'm tired.
    At this point I'm not even sure if it can be done. But... I tried to connect to my mother's wireless internet using my Airport Extreme. I connected to the wireless but was unable to access the internet, or email. I tried manually setting the IP address, DHCP, router, DNS etc. But to no avail. It kept saying "Airport is connected to wireless ..., but it has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet". I got it to accept the new IP address and finally it said " Airport is connected to wireless..., and is connected to the internet" but I still could not get on. It does say on her computer that it is protected by a key. But I used her password to get on and it recognized it? But her password was not the key.
    I thought that I could connect to any wireless network with the password?
    Can this even be done?
    Thanks
    A

    Duane,
    Thanks for the response. I did not see anything about MAC filtering enabled. It did say encryption was enabled. All I foud was the IP address, router, DNS etc. It is a WEP password and it did accept the password to log on to the network. It's Time Warner and she has a PC. I tried everything, set up new location. I'm going to try to log on to my friends wireless network and see if I can do so there. If my memory serves me right, the last time I tried to log on to a wireless network it didn't work either. Also my mother does not know much about it, someone set it up for her and she is one to not understand these "new fangled things". So...

  • HP 3510 all-in-one won't connect to wireless - MAC filter

    I'm trying to set up my HP Deskjet 3510 e-all-in-one, but every time it tries to connect to my wireless, it fails and gives me an error saying it may be due to the MAC filtering on my router.. but there is no MAC filtering on my router! I even added it to the approved devices just in case. If I try to just set it up via USB, the software doesn't always respond to the fact that I've plugged my printer into my laptop. I'm on Windows Vista. TRIED the solution of unplugging everything, restarting everything, turning things off and on again, etc., the error never changes but I have seen for myself and had the internet company confirm that there isn't any MAC filtering on my router.

    Hi,
    Please enter your wireless router configuration and check what security type is configured.
    May it set as WEP security?
    If so, ensure the authentication type is set as Open or Auto, then try connecting the printer again.. HP printers does not support the Shared Authentication type..
    Otherwise please clarify what security type is configured.

  • Installed HP Officejet 4100 All-in-one does not appear in Control Panel printer selection window.

    My HP Officejet 4100 Series 'All-in One' DOES NOT APPEAR in the Control Panel window even after several re-installs. The diagnostics indicate that the 4100 is not connected and dos NOT point to any path for a solution.
    Attempts to download a current Driver, ( or re-load the 4100 "software" ), WILL NOT work because the 'help' page states the driver already comes with the 4100 software and therefore does not provide for any download update, (driver or software) for the 4100 printer.
    I have reinstalled from the original Disk for the 4100 and also attemped install with Windows Update requested driver. Nothing works.

    Hi there @Past77 
    Welcome to the forums
    I read your message about your Officejet 4100 not showing that it's connected, and that you have attempted to run the Windows Update to see if that would help get the printer working again. You are correct that this model does not have a downloadable driver for Windows Vista, so your best bet would be to try running the Print and Scan Doctor tool, to see if it can kick the printer into gear and have it functioning again.
    If the tool does not work, I would then recommend looking in to a printer upgrade. Consider giving us a call to see what your options are with HP.

  • Can connect to wireless network run off dell router, but not internet!

    I have a iBookG4 and have moved to a new apt with a wireless network run off a dell router/ comcast. My roommates have both Macs and PCs and can connect with no problems. I found the network on my airport and put in the password, joined network no problem, but cannot connect to the internet. The Airport status is yellow and says that Airport has self assigned IP address and cannot connect to the internet. I can connect fine to other open networks in the area so its not my computer. I tried to copy the IP address from my roommate manually to the network settings but that didn't work either. What am I doing wrong? No one here seems to recall how they set up the network and I am paying for a network I can't access. Please help!!!

    Does the dell router have an access list set-up?
    With an access list (depending on the router) it can be set-up to allow access for only certain MAC addresses. If your MAC address isn't in the list, you'll not get on.
    Usually the router will have an IP address itself of 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.0.1 - depends on the router. You should be able to determine it from the IP address your computers are getting. Try getting someone to connect to this through a browser, and check/change the configuration of the router directly.

  • Can connect to wireless network but no internet access

    I have a PC that runs on Windows Vista and a wireless network using Airport Extreme. My PC can connect to the wireless network but I cannot access the internet. Windows Network Diagnostics states that 'A problem with your network router or broadband modem might be preventing an internet connection'. There should be no problem with my modem as I can access internet using my powerbook. When I run airport utility on my PC, there is an error message that states that 'An error occurred while trying to access the Apple wireless device. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again', 'error -6753'.

    I am glad you brought this up. I am having the same difficulty. I run an iMac OS X 10.5.6 with an intel processor and a parallel system to get me on the Windows side. When I try to access the internet using my Airport extreme I cannot access any sites and the internet explorer page pops up with "The page cannot be displayed and sends me to try the diagnose connection problems on the toolbar method. However I can see my base station and all looks fine with the information there. I can also access the internet from my mac side of the computer. It would be nice to use the Windows side to gain access to the net because I have programs for the windows side that need updating. Anyone out there have any suggestions?

  • NB200 Can connect to wireless networks, but cannot connect to the internet

    I have been able to connect my Win XP netbook to my secure wireless network at home, other people's networks and public networks like the library and McDonalds. This week I'm away from home and discovered that while I can still connect to a number of different wireless networks, I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    I've had this problem once before and fixed it by reinstalling Windows XP and all my other software. I have no idea why it has happened again. I'm hoping for a less drastic solution to the problem..?

    Hi Nakia,
    > I cannot connect to the internet using Internet Explorer.
    Have you tested other browsers like Mozilla Firefox and does this work?
    As MasterG wrote try to renew the IP address using the commend line.
    Last week I had a similar problem and I could solve it by updating the WLAN driver. Just remove the driver, restart the notebook and install the newest one. :)
