Officejet 6700 connected to network according to network configuration page and network test results

Office Jet 6700 connected to network according to wireless network test results but I get an unable to connect error when trying to set up web tools or connect to get updates. I have an Actiontec Router with century link DSL. I have tried both manual IP configuration and DHCP configuration. I can print wirelessly from my iphone and can access the web service page on the printer but the printer will not connect outside the network. I do not have a proxy.

Never mind. I found the answer... I set the dns servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 ( google's dns servers ). Sort of strange that I set the dns servers manually to the ones recommended on my router and it didn't work but when I set them to google's it works...? Spent many hours researching this til I found the answer. Silly printer and silly instrucutions tha never mentioned overriding the dns servers if you couldn't connect.

Officejet 6700 connection to computer

Can my Officejet 6700 printer be connected directly (i.e. USB cable) to my desktop computer (Dell Inspiron 580 running Windows 7 (64 bit). I do not have a network setup.

Hi,
Yes, you can use USB cable to connect to your Dell machine and you can convert to wireless/network connection at a later date. The following link shows its specs:

I just swapped old modem for new model. Says I'm connected but airport flashing amber and no connection. Do I have to configure a new network???

I just swapped out old modem for new model. Airport flashing amber. Wi-Fi connection good but airport not responding. Do I need to configure a new network connection? Change anything in airport utility?

Welcome to the forum!
I'm a big fan of resetting in situations like this. Who knows what boxes you've ticked where...
Use the hard reset button with a paper clip on your Airport express. Hold it til the light starts blinking, then let it reset.
While it's resetting, go into your Network prefs and make sure you're set up to connect via Airport. Delete any references to your prior wireless network in the preferred networks section. Go into your keychain utility and delete any passwords there. (this is assuming you were using some form of wireless security).
After your AE has restarted, choose it from the Airport pull-down menu and run the Airport Setup Assistant utility. Once you've got it up and running, use Airport Admin utility to set security and passwords.
Seems drastic, but after all the poking around you've done, these steps should be pretty simple to perform. I'm guessing your original "Looking for PPPoE host" was a temporary problem with your IP. Maybe the ethernet cable was unplugged from AE?
Good luck

Can't connect to imessage on my iPhone 5. It says waiting for activation and when I try to sign in tells me to check my network connection. I've tried resetting the settings and network settings, turning it off and on, and nothing works. Any ideas?

Does the same thing for FaceTime

Thanks in advance.
"SIM Free" does not mean the same thing as "Unlocked". SIM Free means you can use it with any carrier, but it will lock to the first carrier whose SIM you activate it with. The ONLY source for truly unlocked phones is direct from an Apple store or Apple Online.

Networking? More like Notworking (Wicd and Network Manager Broken?)

Wicd won't run for me and NetworkManager never seems to be able to connect because of some errror.
$ sudo systemctl start wicd
Failed to issue method call: Unit wicd.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status wicd.service' for details.
I see that systemctl doesn't see wicd yet, so I'll reboot in a second and try to start wicd again.
Here's what nm-applet prints out when I try to connect to my local network.

and a little error window pops up with the following message

Any ideas? So far I can only connect using netcfg, and even then I lose my connection every so often, and I can't connect to anything if the NetworkManager.service is running.

Mac can not connect to OfficeJet 6700 while windows machine can ...

Hello all.
I have an HP Officejet 6700 for more than a year. It is connected to a wireless network (Netgesr wireless router), both Mac an Windows PC printing and scanning successfully until yesterday…
Since yesterday the Mac cannot print or scan, while windows machine still works fine …
Mac OS version is 10.9.4
I changes the printer from DHCP to static IP, I deleted the printer from the Mac and installed it again from the HP site but at the HP Utility I get stuck in the Add Officejet 6700 (08B0D2) Bonjour Multifunction with an “Unable to communicate with the printer at this time” error message.
Again all of this while windows machines communicate and work perfectly fine.
Any idea?

Hi @AmitFish,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to connect your HP Officejet 6700 Premium to your Mac, everything was working fine and all of a sudden you get a communication error.
I would first like you to make sure you have installed all Mac updates, please run the updates and let me know if this helped?
If not, please complete the steps listed here: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection, I know you have previously set a Static IP, please continue and let me know the outcome.
I will watch for your reply.
Thanks,

OfficeJet 6700 - "Unable to communicate with printer" message after install

I am on a hybrid network with Windows 7, 64-bit. Printer is hard-wired to the router (ethernet) but laptops are wireless. Installation doesn't allow for a hybrid option, just wireless or wired, so I installed as wired.
I just installed the OfficeJet 6700 - installed OK. I also updated software/firmware during the install process.
Windows' "Devices & Printers" recognizes the HP as being installed.
Printer is able to produce the network configuration page, etc. so we know the printer is functional, but when I try to print I get an "Unable to communicate with printer" message.
Windows' "Devices and Printers" troubleshooter thinks the driver is not installed, but as I mentioned, I just installed software from the CD.
UPDATE: I was able to install & print without problems on my wife's Win7, 64-bit laptop. Something about mine seems to be the issue. Also, HP Print & Scan Doctor reports that everything checks out OK, but when I try to print a test page at the end of the good doctor's diagnosis, I am still "unable to communicate with printer."

Sorry this is so long, but I tried to be through in my testing.
Followed your suggested steps.
I had previously set a static IP address, but just to be thorough, re-set it again with the same address.
I unplugged the USB cord from the laptop.
I began with the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)," which was set as the default printer.
After entering the IP address & clicking Next, it searched the network and returned this message:
Additional port information required
The device could not be identified.
The device is not found on the network. Be sure that:
1. The device is turned on.
The network is connected.
The device is properly configured.
The address on the previous page is correct. (re: the page where the IP address is entered)
If you are sure the address is correct, select the device type below.
I selected Standard (Generic Network Card) and clicked Next.
Summary dialog appeared and I clicked Finish.
Clicked OK/Apply.
Attempted to print. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing.
Right-clicked on the "Copy 1" device and selected Troubleshoot. Returned the message: Make printer "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700 the default printer" - even though this copy is already the default printer. (Usually when the original copy is set as the default, this copy is automatically re-named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700.") I chose "Apply this fix."
Summary page said "Troubleshooting has completed." I closed the troubleshooter and attempted to print. I closed the Devices & Printers window so it could refresh. Re-opened Devices & Printers. Now the default printer is named "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700." The other device is grayed out and is simply named "HP OfficeJet 6700."
Attempted to print. (I'm testing w/ Notepad and .txt files)
I have 3 choices in the Notepad's printer dialog box but only 2 devices showing in the Devices & Printers window:
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. I clicked on Print & rec'd an error message: "Send Fax - HP Officejet 6700. There is a problem communicating with the Printer. Check your USB connection & verify that the printer is ready." Notepad's print dialog box shows status as Offline. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is the printer that shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." There is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." In Devices & Printers, when I right-click on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing," 2 HP devices are listed - the one labeled "Copy 1" and the one labeled "Fax." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
I plugged in the USB cord again and re-ran the same series of tests.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - This is still the default printer in the Devices and Printers window. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." The fax window opened, waiting me to enter the recipient's name, add a cover sheet, etc. I closed the fax window. The .txt file was in the print queue for the "Fax" device, so I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700." When I choose this printer option, Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Paused - Offline." I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." Again, there is no printer by this name in the Devices and Printers window even tho' it shows in Notepad's print dialog box. This is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Notepad's print dialog box shows status as "Ready." I clicked on "Print" and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I used the printer's touch screen interface and turned the wireless connection off, leaving the USB cord plugged in.
~ "Fax HP OfficeJet 6700" - Status: Ready. The fax window opened, same as before. I closed the fax window & canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 - Status: Paused - Offline. I clicked on "Print" anyway, and like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This one shows as grayed out in the Devices & Printers window. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
~ "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Error. I clicked Apply, then Print. Again, this is one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device. Like before, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Reconnected to the wireless network & verified that the IP address had not changed.
Tried again to print using "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - Status: Ready. I clicked Print and again, it sent the file to print queue - then nothing. This is still listed as one of 2 choices in the device labeled "Fax" - the default device." Like before, I canceled all documents in the print queue.
Next, I right-clicked on the one labeled "Fax OfficeJet 6700" (the default device) and choose "See what's printing" and selected the device labeled "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)." In the print queue window, when I click on "Printer, one of my options is "Set as Default Printer." As soon as I did that, the device in the Devices & Printers window was renamed as "HP OfficeJet 6700 (Copy 1)" - no longer named "Fax." I tried to print again. Once again, file was sent to the print queue but never printed.

Officejet 6700 & USB & Wireless

Can my Officejet 6700 be accessed by USB to my Desktop PC and Wireless from a laptop at the same time ?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Yes, printers can have a USB and network connection at the same time.
What they cannot have is two network connections at the same time.
Connecting to one computer through USB and others on the network should work.
Honestly, there is no need to have both connections if all computers are connected (wired or wirelessly) to the router along with the printer. Unless you prefer to have both connections which is fine.

Hi Sandy,
The HP Solution Center is part of the software provided for older HP products, It is not part of the HP Software for the 6700 and cannot be used with the specific model.
You may access the software by clicking the Windows icon ( ), click HP , click All Programs , click the HP Officejet 6700 folder, then click the HP Officejet 6700 icon. The printer software opens.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium cannot connect to wifi network

Since a few days, our HP Officejet 6700 Premium can no longer connect to wifi network. All our other devices as laptops, smartphones, tablets have no difficulty in connecting to the wifi. reconnecting and entering the WPA password doesn't help.
The printer says the SSID of our wifi network is not unique, it detects multiple access points.

Hello there @karatejan
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I read about the issues you're facing when trying to connect your Officejet 6700 printer to your network recently. I have three suggestions for you, and please let me know the results when you are done.
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer, and run the set up again.
If you are running a Windows OS, from your PC, perform a Clean Boot, which will turn off the start up programs just in case there is something blocking the installation. Try the USB to wireless set up again.
Check your router settings to match these recommended settings:
1. Network name and password to have no spaces or punctuation.
2. If using WPA2 security, switch to WPA personal.
3. Dual broadcast Wireless b/g/n (printer may only connect to g).
4. Mac filter needs to be turned off.
5. Firewall settings need to be at there default settings, or set to a lower security.
6. Multicasting "on".
7. Following ports need to be un-blocked:
Incoming (UDP) ports : 137, 138, 161, 427
Outgoing (TCP) ports : 137, 139, 427, 9100, 9220, 9500

Wireless printing problem in home network officejet 6700

1.HP Officejet 6700 Premium
2. not applicable(multiple operating systems. windows 7 and OS Lion)
3. My printer is connected to my house's wireless network and has accessibility to the internet, but when I try wireless printing from my iphone, ipad or macbook pro the printer "can not be seen". Saying " no air printers available".
But if i unplug the printer's power and plug it back in, when it just gets connected to the wireless network again I am able to "see" the printer for a brief moment and thus I'm able to print. But a little while later disappears again.
What can I do?

How do I re-enable built-in networking on Officejet 6700 premium printer?

I inadvertently, and stupidly, turned OFF the built-in networking from within my Officejet 6700 premium AiO web-based administrator console. Now I cannot manually reset it from the controls on the printer itself. I get a message informing "Built-in network capabilities have been disabled. Contact your network administrator or the person who set up the printer." Well, that person is me. I cannot find instructions telling how to re-enable the built-in network capabilities.
My OS is WIN7. The printer was working OK before I messed with it.
Can anyone offer advice regarding this problem?
Thank you.

Distinquished (and snarky) Professor.
Thank you for your attempt to assist, but your response was not only condescending - "Did you read the manual??? I downloaded it and read it. Turn the wireless radio on and off" - but totally not helpful. The intro to your reply makes you sound to be an arrogant high school teen who thinks she has every answer unknown to adults.
Some of us are not technilliterate. I certainly DID read the manual and attempted every option I thought might work. The problem, if you read my problem post, was that I inadvertently clicked OFF the Connectivity Built-in Network capabilities from within the EWS. That made it impossible for my printer to connect to the network via cable or wireless. When I attempted to find a solution at the printer control display itself, by going Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults, but, instead of the "Restore Network Defaults, it presented the message I posted informing that Built-in network capabilities were disabled, which is what I already knew and wanted to resolve. I needed to find a way to reset to Out-of-the-Box settings. Nothing in the manual provided, nor could I find online, this answer.
Fortunately, my printer was still under warranty (HP apparently wont chat if you aren't under warranty, unless you pay them for the service). I was able to chat with an HP Rep who Identified herself (maybe himself ... Who knows?) as "Jasmine". Jasmine was very helpful. But, although I had specifically identified to her the problem is that I lost network connectivity due to carelessly turning off built-in network capabilities of the printer from within its EWS, Jasmine still had to spend time running through her HP requied first-line Help Representative script. She spent about fifteen minutes remote assisting and checking out every possible "other option" before she concluded with these precious words, "The problem is that your printer has lost network connectivity. I am going to give you some instructions to follow so we can reset the printer to Semi-full restore." I received her instructions and followed them precisely. Very easy. When I asked her why these instructions are not published by HP somewhere for customers to access, she informed that they are "secret Advanced instructions" (I think she was being a little silly). ...
Following, for you Distinquished Professor (so you don't need to be snarky with others) and for all other fellow technophiles out there, is Jasmines "secret Advanced instructions" as she wrote the on the chat. I have provided some interpretation at the end. Do note, if you (not specifically you Distinguished Professor, but every other "you" out there) don't have some good idea of what you are doing, getting off the path by which these instructions lead can get you into more difficulty with your printer than that by which you began the journey.
Jasmine: Please follow the below steps:
1. Touch this curve icon 4 times though it is not highlighted
2. When you do it, you can see Support menu on the printer LCD screen.
3. Once you see the Support Menu on the printer touch OK use the right arrow key next to the printer LCD screen to see Reset Menu.
4. Now, touch OK then use the right arrow key next to the printer lcd screen to see Semi Full.
5. Touch on Semi-Full option.
6. The printer will turn OFF
7. Power it back ON. It will initialize itself.
8. Please follow the onscreen steps.
Helpful interpretations:
Regarding #1. The “curve icon” is the left curving return icon located at the left side of the printer’s control panel touch sensitive display window, but outside the display window. It is lit when the menu can be returned back a page, but unlit when at Home screen. This is actually a hardware button, not touch sensitive, so pressing it, even when not lit, creates and action signal. When the display is at the Home state, the return button is unlit, but pressing it four times will generate a menu option for Support Menu on the display.
Regarding #3. The "right arrow" is the forward page button located to the right outside the display screen. Like the return button, it also is unlit unless it can perform an action related to what appears on the display. Press the forward page arrow until the displayed menu option changes to Reset Menu. Select this option to perform step #4.
Successfully following Jasmine's instructions will restore the HP Officejet 6700 Premium AiO to its out-of-the-box-new settings. Note that Jasmine specified "Semi-Full" restore, not "Full" restore. A full restore will take the printer back to it basic out-of-the-factory state. This state will require significantly more settings and configurations work afterward than with which most of us would like to deal. Out-of-the-box state will cycle through everything as it did when you first pulled the printer out of the box new and set it up yourself. Do note, any custom settings will be lost. Passwords, however, are retained in a Semi-Full restore.
Hope this information helps everyone else who may be having similar difficulties or just need to know how to restore your printer back to Out-of-the-box-new state.

I have my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A connected to my Mac Book Pro on a Wireless network. It works and

I have my Hp Officejet Pro 8500 A connected to my MAc Book Pro which is running Lion OS on a wireless network. It works just fine and prints and everything. The problem is a "HP Utility" window that pops up on my screen and says it is "connecting to device" and lists my printer. It just runs and runs and the entire thing is gray - meaning I can't close it, cancel it, or anything. When you try to click on it, the arrow becomes the color wheel of death. It is driving me crazy. I have gone through settings, I have downloaded the latest drivers, I have looked in utilities, I have opened the printer folder and can't find where this thing is coming from or how to turn it off. Please help. And yes I have turned offf the computer and rebooted.

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- 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 you want more features, you can download and install the Full Featured software from the "Support & Drivers" button at the top of this page, otherwise, basic printing and scanning will work without it.

Printing to HP OfficeJet 5610 connected to networked Windows Computer

I have an HP OfficeJet 5610 connected one of my windows (XP Pro SP2) computers that is on my network. I can see the printer under the Windows Printers tab, but there is not an applicable driver. I have installed the HP Printer software found on this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=oj-55822-2 &lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=441125&os=219&lang=en, but this didn't help. How can I get this to work.

Windows Printing and IP printing on OS X are provided by the CUPS system. You need a CUPS-capable driver to use these built-in network protocols. HP's drivers for non-postscript printers aren't CUPS drivers. You need to install the third-party hpijs driver (3-part set):

You also need to get the PPD because your model was left out of the current hpijs:

Unfortunately there isn't a PPD there, either. I don't know how to obtain one. If we're patient, maybe Matt Broughton will come by and help us get the PPD.
You should experiment with the HP officejet 5500 foomatic model choice to see if it works.
