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.

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.

Officejet 6700 looses wireless connection to MAC

My 6700 keeps loosing it connection with my mac which is running 10.10.4 and the fault seems to have occurred at the time this ios update installed. I have had the mac just over a year and its all worked fine until the 10.10.4 update. I have tried re-booting the airport extreme, the mac, deleting the printer and re-installing none of which resolves the problem fully. If I re-boot the printer it will be found and I can print, but if the next job is more than 10 mins later the mac looses the printer again and will not find it. The same fault also seem present with my ipad retine display model running ios 8.4, again this has been working well for nearly two years. HELP please

And place it high in the Den as close to the source as possible, or near openings where the source is more direct.

Officejet 6700 margin problems printing from Mac

I recently purchased and setup a new HP 6700 all in one wireless printer and have a problem that I can't seem to solve or find a solution for. Printing from my Mac's leaves margins cutting the top and bottom off of documents. I've printed the same documents from a PC at work without problem but opening and printing on this printer seems to cut off margins. I can't find a margin setting to adjust nor should I need to with a default print setting. I've updated the latest HP print drivers and firmware with no luck.
Thanks in advance.

I just found this post and hope I am not too late to pursue this further.
I have an HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium Wireless Color e-All-In-One Inkjet Printer. My operating system is Macintosh OS X 10.9.3 Mavericks.
I have been having this problem for quite sometime and would love to get an explanation, or directions to fix the problem.
I clicked on the link 'HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One and 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Printer Series (H711) Product Specifica...' and saw that the acceptable Top and Bottom print margins for a Mac are .13" and .47" respectively.
Whether I am in Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 (latest version) or in Preview (latest version), I cannot print a document with a Top margin of less than .5".
I created some documents in 2013 that were printed on this printer and they came out with no problems.
In January of this year, I bought my current Mac, and now I cannot print any of those documents unless I increase the Top margin to '5". Thinking it might be the HP driver, I downloaded and upgraded to the latest version of the driver, and still the problem persists.
I originally was blaming the problem on Microsoft Word, but that does not make sense since the problem also occurs with Preview.
Your help would be appreciated.

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?

Installed ePrint on Officejet 6700, now cannot print wirelessly

Greetings,
We have beenprinting wirelessly with our Officejet 6700 for quite some time. This morning the HP Connect/ePrint feature was installed...now we cannot print to the computer wirelessly. I have turned off the ePrint functionality on the printer, shut down and restarted...still not able to print.
Looking for suggestions, or a way to delete the eprint functionality.
Much obliged...

Hello Bugaloo911,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Sorry to hear about the Officejet 6700 now being unable to wirelessly since you setup the ePrint portion of the printer. What is the Operating System installed on the computer, Windows or Mac? Also, what happens when you try to print? For example, is there an error or message of any kind on the computer?
Setting up ePrint should not have made any changes to the printers ability to wirelessly print via a computer connection. Does the printer still show a connection to the network? If you are not sure, touch the wireless icon from the printer home screen and then Print Wireless Test Report. If there is no connection, run the Wireless Setup Wizard.
Try running the HP Print and Scan Dr on the computer, if using a Windows computer.
Once the printer is working again on the computer we can look into re-setting up ePrint for you.
Regards,
JERENDS

Printing wirelessly from laptop but can't print from iPhone or iPad to officejet 6700

On the Officejet 6700 I have it set up to print wirelessly from my laptop, but it does not print from the iPhone or iPad. It locates the officejet and says it's preparing to print and even appears that it is going to print, but nothing prints. Thoughts?

Hi there, take a look at this support docuemnt for the AirPrint solution for printing from Apple mobile devices. In particular read the sections titled "What if a 'No AirPrint Printers Found' message displays on my Apple device?" and "What if I experience problems when I try and use AirPrint?"
Follow the suggested trouble shooting steps in the order listed and post back if you're still having problems.
Best.

I can not print with HP Officejet 6700 Premier from the USB cable

Hi, I use a laptop and I want to print from USB cable. I don't understand why but it doesn't work. When i click on Print, i do not see the HP Officejet in the choice of printers.
Thank you very much for your help

Hello @Kingkong352,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you cannot print from a USB cable using the Officejet 6700 Premium. I will do my best to assist you! First, I need to find out your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
Did you install the full feature software on your computer? I would run the Print and Scan Doctor to see if this fixes your printing issue. Please let me know if this tool detects any issues. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

I cannot get my HP OfficeJet 6700 to print wireless with my macbook Pro, I cannot get my HP OfficeJet 6700 to print wireless with my macbook Pro

I cannon get my HP OfficeJet 6700 to print wireless with my Macbook Pro? Any suggestions?

Just found a solution to this problem via HP technical support by changing my Officejet 6700's dynamic IP address to a static IP address:

After making these changes and rebooting my printer immediately started working again.

Wireless printing problems from Mac to my new Officejet 6700

I have just purchased the Officejet 6700 for my office. We have 7 mac laptops and one HP. Currently the only printer that can printer wirelessly to the 6700 is the PC. The first day I had the printer I was able to get my MacBook Air to print wirelessly, but since then it says it can't find the printer. That is the same message all the other Macs are getting.
Any advice??

Hi,
I would rather suspect Multicasting lack of support or wrong configutation within your router, this will explain that behavior as Apple computers, unlike Windows, dicsover the device using Bonjour which relies on Multicasting.
Please let me know your router brand and model in order to better understand the model.
Additionally did you used a different multifunction device over the network prior the 6700?

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.

HP Officejet 6700 - scanning problem, "device is busy. please try again later"

I am using a windows laptop (Lenovo Yoga II). I have an HP Officejet 6700 printer/ scanner. The printing functions seem to work fine but the scanning function is now not working at all (worked previously).
When I use the HP Scan and Capture app is comes up with a message "Device is busy. Please try again later". I have installed the full software and also run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it fails the driver check even after a full restart of both printer and laptop.
I have tried everything wirelessly and also connecting the laptop to the printer via USB and nothing seems to work.
When I try to scan direct from the printer/ scanner to the computer (ie. using the panel on the front of the printer) it recognises the computer but doesn't scan and suggests that the "scan application on the computer is currently in use".
I have McAfee LiveSafe running and also tried switching that off but didn't seem to make any difference.
Any ideas welcome. I really need to scan some things today and this is very frustrating.

Hi,
Please follow this HP document for scan issues

Scanner not working hp officejet 6700

I have an Officejet 6700 Premium Printer.. When I hit scan to computer, it says no computer found. I connected the printer to the computer with a USB cable and hit scan but window says waiting for scanner.. Printer works wirelessly w/ computer but is sporadic and sometimes have to restart printer to get it to connect wirelessly to computer.. tried to download software from hp but cant open the dmg file in my download file. Error message says Officejet series 6700 image not recognized.

Hello ramblindan,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with scanning to the computer.
I also see that you had the printer connected on a wireless network and then attempted to scan over USB. When the connection is changed from wireless to USB without adjusting the software, this can cause communication issues.
I have a few steps that we can run through to troubleshoot the issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also suggest that we remove the usb cable from the printer and the computer and leave it off.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
If this does not resolve the issue, please respond with which Operating System you are running.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?

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.

Apple devices will not print to Officejet 6700 including MacBook Pro and iPad

I am trying to help someone set up their MacBook Pro and iPad to be able to wirelessly print to their Officejet 6700. I recently set them up with a new Apple Airport Extreme for their router. The printer connects fine to the wireless network. Everything during the install process for the printer goes well, the MacBook easily sees the printer. The correct driver is installed. They also have a Windows 7 laptop that prints instanteously and has no issues whatsoever.
When I try to print from the Mac, nothing prints. I open the print queue and it shows "Printing - connected to printer..." and nothing ever comes of it. When trying to print from the iPad, it can see the printer and I select it. However, after telling it to print, the dialogue box just says "Connecting to Printer" and it never does - it just times out.
Things I've tried:
Everything in this article that is related to Macs (10.8).
Resetting the printing system on the Mac.
Resetting the printer to default settings.
Setting the static IP of the printer through the printer settings.
Setting the IP of the printer through the Airport Utility (after changing the printer to automatic).
Rebooting the Mac after each attempt to remove the printer and before adding again.
Using the official HP Officejet 6700 driver.
Using the Airprint driver.
Other info:
I can successfully ping the printer's IP address from the MacBook Pro.
I can easily see the web setup page for the printer both through the printer settings and by entering the IP address.
The printer is only about a month old.
They bought this printer because the previous one was having problems printing from all of their devices wirelessly. That was with a router from their previous ISP.
At this point, I'm completely stumped as to why the printer will not print from these Apple devices. We've dealt with every issue that could be causing it: the network, the printer, and the MacBook itself. I've looked online and can see no issues with people not being able to print to a wirelessly connected printer to an Airport Extreme. I've seen some issues when the printer is plugged in via USB to the Airport Extreme, but that is not our setup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
