Officejet 6700 Premierre unable to print from PC

I set up the Officejet 6700 to print over my home wireless network last month, and at first, it worked beautifully. A week or two later, I installed the software on my laptop, and it also printed wirelessly from there perfectly, but as of this week, I suddenly am not able to print at all from the PC. I can still print from the laptop with no issues at all - only the PC is having the trouble. When I try to print, it says, "Unable to Communicate with Printer." I have checked that the printer is powered on. I can actually even see from the PC that the printer is listed as "Ready". I have double checked the network settings on the printer, and I have even done a complete uninstall and reinstall of the software on the PC, but I still get the same message. I tried troubleshooting within Windows. Nothing works. Both the PC and the laptop are running Windows 7 and connecting to the same network. I have no idea what else to try!

Now, if I click the desktop icon for the printer on my PC, I can print a diagnostics page with no problems. I go back to try to print anything else - a word document, a website - and I get the same "Unable to communicate" message. I just don't get this at all!
BTW, I tried temporarily disabling the firewall, no difference.

  • HP Officejet 6700 Premium - Won't print from my laptop.

    HP Officejet 6700 Premium - Microsoft Windows 7 - I get a message on my Dell Laptop that says my printer is offline. The connection between the laptop and printer is wireless. I can run copies by placing them on my printer, but the printer is not reading instructions from my laptop. I cannot even print a test page when the instruction is given from my laptop.

    Hello,
    In addition to what "banhien" mentioned. Obtain the IP of the printer. 
    On the PC desktop > START > All Programs > HP > Officejet 6700 > Update IP , then type in the IP obtained from the printer.

  • Unable to print from my computer

    Just bought a new HP officejet 6700 all in one printer on 1/12/14.  Installed it with no problems. For first two days was working great- able to print from my iMac computer (OS 10.7.5)  wirelessly as well as remotely from iPhone without difficulty.  After two days suddenly no longer able to print documents from my computer.  Still able to print remotely from other devices. I did all the suggested fixes in the HP website and still not working.  Please help me out.  Thanks.

    Have you already tried to reboot your (Wifi) router?
    Please consider the environment before printing.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8610 - Unable to print windows 8.1

    Hi ,
    I've recently purchased HP Officejet Pro 8610 and unable to print from windows.
    I am running 64bit Windows 8.1
    I can print from Web via email
    I can print using the HP AiO Remote app in windows. This doesnt have full functionality and is also inconvenient if I am working on documents and I want to print.
    I have tried the following:

    - Using the HP printer troubleshooter assistant, no success
    - Downloading the software direct from HP website
    - Updating the firmware using OJP8610_R1416A.exe
    -Changing the port to the network port (in this case it is 192.168.0.200, it responds to a ping, also set the printer to have a static ip)
    This is the error message that i get when i try to print a test page when i choose printer properties in the control panel
    "test page failed to print. would you like to view the printer troubleshooter for assistance"
    I have trawlled through other member's issues and i cant seem to find a fix for myself

  • My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air

    Hi,
    My HP Officejet Pro 8600 can't print from my MacBook Air. It keeps on showing "The printer is not connected", but the screen on the printer shows connected. I often reset the printer 'EVERY TIME" I want to use it. I also tried to turn off my laptop and printer several times before printing. If I'm lucky enough, it will work maybe for one or two prints. If no luck then I'll have to reset everything again. Sometimes I reset the printer, the printer will not show on my selection.
    This question was solved.

    Hello boojoo1tw,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to print most times with your Officejet 8600. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? What is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out.
    If your printer is wireless, then I would recommend assigning a "Static IP Address" by following this HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

    One thing to slow it down: low ink. Please check ink cartridges and replace if required.

    how do i get the hp officejet pro 8600 premium to print from my ipad2 using airprint? The iPad does not see the printer.

    Hi RiverBirch,
    What brand and model is your router?
    First, connect your printer to your router.
    1. From printer front panel, press Wireless>Wireless Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the onscreen instructions to successfully connect your printer with an IP address.
    Secondly, connect your iPad to the same router.
    1. Connect your iPad to the Internet and download the free HP ePrint Home & Biz app from the apps store.
    2. Connect your iPad to the same network as the printer. Settings>Network.
    3. Use the new HP Home & Biz app to print and scan photos or docs from your iPad!
    Alternatively, you can also perform Airprint on the iPad thru the wireless network from the Photos menu in your iPad.

    I am using reader 11.0.10.32 in Win7 Professional 64 bit.  I am unable to print from Reader.  After selecting print all pages, the progress bar goes through the proper page count. After that a pop up window appears with the message: The document could not be printed.  After pressing the OK button that pop up closes and the next pop up window appears with the message: There were no pages selected to print.  After pressing the OK button, the pop up closes and the pdf document is still visible in Reader.
    I can print from other programs to that printer.  I can print from Reader to other printers.
    I was able to print to all printers before.  I uninstalled Reader and reinstalled it from the Adobe web site.
    Any suggestions to make it print?
    Thanks.

    I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
    with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

  • Users are unable to print from Adobe Reader X

    Hi,
    Multiple users in our environment report that they are unable to print from Adobe Reader X. They receive the following error messages (translated from Dutch) Document cannot be printed. There are no pages selected.
    We are using Reader version 10.1.3
    What we have tried to resolve the issue (without any positive results):
    - Repair the installation of Adobe Reader.
    - Update Adobe Reader to the latest version for Vista (x86) (10.1.7)
    - Created new user profile for the affected users.
    The documents can be printed without any errors from Foxit Reader.
    At the moment we use the following workaround:
    Open the document in Internet Explorer, and then print the document from there.
    Does anyone have any idea how we can resolve this?
    Best regards,
    Duncan

    James,
    I'm sorry to hear that you were having the same problem under 9.5.  I had recently updated to Adobe Reader 10 under Windows 7 and yesterday my "default printer" simply disappeared from the options on my control panel.  I re-installed my printer, but today whenever I would open a PDF document and try to print it, the document would simply close with no further ado.  After a bit of trial and error, I ended up uninstalling Adobe Reader 10 and going back to Adobe Reader 9.5.  Now everything is working just fine.
