Officejet 6700 scn to email connection problem

this seems to be a regular problem. I have tried all suggested solutions that I found, but nothing worked. In some answers the support person said that she was sending a private email that seemed to solve the problem. Can you tell me waht I can do to resolve this. My printer is connected, ePrint works, juts the app fails to connect to the Webservice. I tried to disable and re-enable the webservice - didn't help.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you are getting a connection error message when trying to use the scan to email feature of your Officejet 6700 printer.
There are several steps I would like you to try please.
Please turn off your printer.
Please turn off your router. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in).
After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature. If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots show an Officejet 8600 printer, the steps are the same.
Please test the scan to email feature. If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
Thank you.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium: eprint works; connection with printer cable doesn't

Just bought a new Officejet 6700 Premium. I had the same model before. Setup worked well and eprint functions. But with the last Officejet I had, I could also connect it with a printer cable and then I could print directly without having to send an email. I find this useful, because there is not so much waste of paper and ink on pages I don't need (sometimes I only want to print one page from a series of several pages or I want to print something directly from the internet). With the new model I have connected the printer and my computer with the printer cable, but I cannot print with the option of, for example, "print this page", but always have to make a pdf and then attach this to an email and send it to hpeprint. Can someone tell me what I have to do in order to be able to print directly with the printer cable? Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the forums, @Sunshine888
I read your post about how you can ePrint successfully, however you cannot print from your computer. I would like to help you with this! To find the best troubleshooting steps for you, I would need to know which operating system you are running on your computer and also let me know how you wish to connect your printer to your computer (USB, Ethernet or wireless).
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Hope to hear from you

HP Officejet 6700 premium no longer connecting to the computer

My HP officejet 6700 will no longer communicate with my dell (windows vista) lap top. Both are connected to the internet and have good wireless signals. I recently printed from this computer to this printer wirlessly and nothing has been altered, downloaded, ect since that last print job. The lack of connection between the two devices is new.
Any help or insight would be much appricaited.
Also, I've checked for updates and I had to use the disk to instal the software ( for whatever reason, the internet download would not work).

Hi @brit24 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're running into connectivity issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
I would also suggest utilizing this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

When you move from MobileMe to iCloud, your active email addresses (@me.com, @mac.com, and all your aliases) move with you, along with all of your messages, mailboxes, and rules.

Help please with pull email connection problem on ...

I have set up two email accounts on my C7. Both 'pull' i.e. these are not mail for exchange accounts. In in case, every time I try to sync the account I get a request for the password - I assume the account password! In the other case it does not. t request a password. in both cases the sync is sometimes complete and sometimes it is not - stuff has clearly been left on the server. There seems to be no rhyme or reason with it all. Can anyone help with this? Any advice gratefully received.

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.

Hello,
We have a officejet 6700 in our office.
We're using Macbook Pros so I can say the problem is with IOSX

However, everyday we are having a connection problem with our printer. We always get 'Printer not found' error.
I need to re-install the printer manually by IP adress (it changes every time we turn it of)
I am not sure if I am clear with my problem but it is becoming more and more boring day by day please find me a way to solve this issue.
Thanks,

Hello there ozge,
Welcome to the Forums
I saw your post about your Officejet 6700 losing connection and giving you a message that says "Printer not Found". I have looked into this issue and have found a few things that I would recommend you try to help with this issue.
First, try troubleshooting by using this guide: The Printer Is Not Found During Network Installation
Also, try this guide as the printer is not keeping the connection: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection
I hope this helps your printer keep the connection!

HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer connectivity problems

My HP Officejet 6700 Premium printer is not connecting properly wirelessly. On the printer itself it says it is connected to my wireless network but when I try to print an error message says it is not connected and is it currently on ly printing when it is connected by cable. Please advise. Thank you

My printer will not print . having connectivity problems.

I had a problem with connection with wireless printer, I had to delete. But I cannot install back. Printer HP officejet 6700

Please anybody can help me with installation of HP officejet 6700 on MacBook Air.
It stopped working, I could not find printer to connect, therefore I had to delete but I cannot install back again.

So the printer is no longer shown in the System Preferences > Print & Scan window? If you haven't already, you can power the printer off and on, then try to set up the wireless connection again and see if MBA recognizes the printer.
You'll need to provide us with more info so we can try to help.

Officejet 6700 error while searching for updates: 'Printer could not connect to server'

I recently purchase the Officejet 6700 Premium. While setting the printer up, I received the error 'The printer could not connect to the server.' I first received this while the printer was searching for updates. I later received the same error while trying to set up ePrint from my computer.
The printer is connected through my wireless router. All other print services function normally. It is connected to the network, and I have printed several times over the wireless network.
Though I don't think it matters, since the on-board print set-up gave me the error, I run Windows 7 64-bit on my computer.
Thanks for any help!

What is the IP address of the printer? What is the make and model of the router that you use in the wireless set up? Is the router firmware up to date?
I would first try power cycling the router and the printer. Turn off/unplug the router and then power down the printer. Then plug the router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning before turning the printer back on. After you have both pieces of equipment back on and functioning attempt to connect to web services again.
If still having problems I would attempt to set a static DNS on the printer through the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address into the address bar of a browser on a computer.
Once that computer displays that page click on the Network tab.
Then look in the column to the left and find the Wireless section
Click on IPv4
Then on that page look at the 2nd section that is labeled DNS Address configuration
Change the radio button to the manual option
Then for the manual preferred fill it out and make sure it reads 8.8.8.8
Secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4
Then hit Apply
Read the next screen carefully. That message with the "OK" button below it is one that states to click that button to undo the changes you just made. Just navigate away from that page by clicking on another tab.
Then reattempt to connect to web services.

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?

Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer - attachment does not come through

Hi
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are unable to use the scan to email feature of your Officejet 6700 printer because you are getting an unable to connect message.
There are several steps I would like you to try please.
Please turn off your printer.
Please turn off your router. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in).
After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature. If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Officejet 8600 printer, the steps are the same.
Please test the scan to email feature. If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.

Print problem for Officejet 6700

Recently I have been having trouble in printing the word document. I was working about 3-4 days ago.
I have windows XP with MS Word 2010. The print is HP Officejet 6700 Premium. I always use it in the offline mode. It's connected to the computer via LPT slot.
The test page gets printed. But the word document doesn't. I also tried notebook and excel documents, and I have the same problem.
I know it's something very simple (at least I feel that way) bit it's very annoying when one needs something printed.
Please help me or direct me to seek further help. Thank you.

Severe connectivity issues OfficeJet 6700

Just bought OfficeJet 6700. Downloaded installation from internet to my laptop - Windows 7. Every 2 minutes or so I get a message telling me that the scan to computer is no longer activated - network connection to printer is lost. Therefore if I want to print something more than a page long - it stops about 2 pages in. Have re-installed twice - no difference.
Same problem if I connect the printer to my router with an ethernet cable.
Am seriously considering installing to use a USB cable which would make this new printer not a lot more useful than my old trusty £10.00 deskjet. Having not tried this I have no idea whether this would work either.
Help!

Jo - Sorry to hear yours never got sorted. I hope I have a bit more luck.
Rudy - Thanks for coming back again. Regarding ports being forwarded, it's not going to be a problem with the router since the firewall only works between the LAN and WAN. If we forget about the wireless laptop for a moment, both the printer and desktop are plugged into adjacent ports on the BT hub so at that point it's only layer 2 switching involved - TCP/UDP ports and indeed IP as a whole, is not used since IP is layer 3.
This has got me thinking though, that perhaps it's something to do with the PC firewall. Both PC's use Norton Internet Security. In Norton it says the printer app has full rights, but now I'm not convinced. Are you aware of any issues with Norton relating to this problem?
