Officejet pro 8500A connected via wireless, but not accessible....

I can t access my officejet pro printer via wifi, after a firmware upgrade last week. I can print however from my iPad, but not from my laptop. Both are connected to the same wireless signal. I can see in my printer and router that both are connected. When I connect the printer via a cable to the router, it works.
As said, I lost this after firmware update.
I tried:
Update the software on my laptop : no Improvement
Switch on/off the router, printer, laptop : no improvement....
Can anybody help? Would a downgrade offirmware help? Anybody familiar with this problem?
Laptop : W7-64

The workgroup shouldn't matter. It's strange that the printer will communicate with the laptop as long as one of them is connected via Ethernet to the router. It shouldn't be doing that at all. It has to be something in the router. I know you mentioned using a different router and it worked just fine. Problem is I'm not sure why this router isn't working right. I'm sure the printer is out of warranty, which is why I'm sure you came to the forums first, but you may need to contact HP tech support. They should be able to remote in and find the setting that's blocking communication. II'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link will take you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it out and it is processed, it will give you the printers warranty information, a case number, and the phone number to call.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 - will print wirelessly but not scan on Windows 8.1. HP PC

    Hello,
    my HP printer and HP computer have been working perfectly but now all of a sudden I cannot scan anymore from my printer to my computer. I can print and scan the other way around and the wireless network works. I am just a regular user and don't feel sure about how to uninstall and re-install programs, so I would be very happy if you had just a simple fix
    I already tried closing down everything and unplugging the router, then plugging the router and turning everything on again but it didn't help.

    Hi @gabmus,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you can print but not scan wirelessly with your HP Officejet pro 8600 on Windows 8.1. I am happy to help you with your scanning issue!
    To verify the printer's hardware is working, are you able to make copies with the printer? Copying a Multipage Original.
    In the meantime, please go through the steps in this scanning guide, A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays When Scanning for HP Officejet....
    Hope this helps, and have a great day!

  • MacBook Pro can connect via Airport but not iPhone or iBook G4.

    Anyone have any ideas? My Macbook Pro can connect to my Airport (v.7.3.1, 802.11n) but not my iPhone or iBook or a Windows Computer or WiFi Blackberry.
    The connection is strong and detectable by the ibook but "unable to connect".
    Somethings up with the settings but not sure what.
    Any ideas?
    HELP!
    thanks

    Hi,
    can you provide a bit more detail, as can you use the 3G network to access the web, and what security is your wireless using?

  • Hp officejet pro 8500a - could print wirelessly previously, but now does not print documents.

    Our HP Officejet Pro 8500A was successfully networked via our wireless network to both computers in our household.  We were able to print from both, as well as IPod Touch.  We have not changed any settings, etc.; however, the printer is no longer printing.
    We are able to print a test document from the printer; however, we are receiving the following error message on the printer:
    Connection Error
    The printer was unable to connect to the server.  Check your internet connection and try again.  Would you like to retry?
    When we retry, it just brings the error message back up.
    When we check the printer status on the computers, it shows that the printer is connected, but is in idle status.
    Please advise what would be causing this issue, and how to correct it.

    Sorry that you are having a problem printing. 
    Can you print a self test page or printer status report from the printer itself?
    Do you get an error message when you try to print?

  • WRT54GL connects via cable, but not wireless

    I've got a WRT54GL that I connected via the ethernet cable, but when I try to connect wirelessly it can't. I've tried EasyLink Connect and EasyLink Advisor to try and fix the connection and "unwire" it, but neither were any help. I can setup my other machines to connect wirelessly, but not the main machine that I used to setup the router intitially.

    Hi TWallace,
    Are you using cable connection (Comcast,Cox) or DSL connection (Verizon,Qwest)? Were you provided with a username and password by ISP. Since EasyLink Advisor and EasyLink Connect did not work. You would have to manually configure the router. Aside from that, make sure that when you ran either the 2 software (ELA or ELC) you do not have any firewall turned on. Firewall disrupts the connectivity of the device running the tool.
    Aside from that, when wiring your computer to the router and you've mentioned it works. Can you try to check the IP address? If XP, click Start > RUN > cmd, once command prompt pops up.. type ipconfig /all then look for IP address.
    Thanks

  • My mac mini will connect via airport but not via ethernet.

    I have had a mac mini for several months which I connect via ethernet because it is in a part of my house where the wireless signal is poor. I changed ISP and now I can connect to the router wirelessly but not via ethernet. This doesn't seem to be a problem with the network as the connection works when I connect it to my mac book. Firewall is turned off. There were no major changes to the router settings other than changing the ISP login codes.
    Any ideas? Is this a configuration issue or a hardware problem?

    Hi Mick,
    If your router only supports 10/100 ethernet then it is possible that the auto-detect feature is not working properly to adjust to that speed. The mini has a Gigabit ethernet port. The OS by default sets the port to automatically negotiate the rate but it does not always work and the result is the problem you are having.
    To fix it you wlll have to manually set the rate to 100.
    To do this, open your system preferences, Select Network. Highlight the ethernet port on the sidebar, click the advanced button. Click on the Ethernet Tab, set the configure pop-up menu item to 100baseTX and click the ok button. If all works out you should see that the Ethernet port icon should turn green.
    Hope this helps.

  • Photosmart 7515 connect via USB but not wireless, Device not found on Network

    Purchased a 7515 all-in-one, was able to setup wirelessly to MacPro but has lost ability to connect wirelessly.  This happened with OS X Lion and nor MountainLion.  Have a TimeMachine Airport.  Printer connects to network but during setup from MacPro, repeatedly get "Device Not Found on Network" after stepping through wireless installation setup screens.  I have reset router, printer, firmware updates, software updates.... at wits end.  I have followed the instructions on the below resource page link with no luck.  Use WPA-PSK encryption (Automatic AES or TKIP) on network and diagnostics on printer pass.
    Please help anyone!
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02946597&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la... 

    It sounds like the Macs and the printer just aren't communicating.
    If you press the network icon on the printer, does it indicate it is connected to the network?
    I recommend two additional steps that are not listed in the linked document.  The printing system of the Mac may need to be reset as it will clear any software that could be interfering (such as corrupted installations).
    Follow the steps as outlined for 10.7 or 10.8 in this document from HP.
    The next step is to install the driver package from Apple.  This can be found here.

  • Mac Pro will connect to internet but not network with other systems

    I have an iMac in my studio reception and a Mac pro and Macbook in my office. All three systems can connect to the internet but the Mac Pro has stopped networking with the iMac. However the iMac can network with the Pro. I have an ethernet cable connection to the Pro (no wi fi card) and I have a wireless router on the iMac which has enabled me to connect the Pro to other systems through wi fi. I also have a PC laptop and the Pro can connect to it via wi fi. Everything was networking properly several weeks ago and as far as I am aware I have not changed any settings. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this annoying little problem.

  • Able to connect via airport but not via ethernet since fresh install

    New format and reinstall of OS X. Software update to 10.4.5. Now I need to use ethernet and I get an error. I did NOT have ethernet attached when doing the install.
    This used to work before the reinstall. I have tried different cables and different ports attached to the D-Link router (I use DSL).
    Other computers on the net (iMac G5 via ethernet and Windows via Wireless) have no problems.
    I have tried the network assistant, renewing DHCP lease (which does not work), manual config, ifconfig up and down and even tried to reapply the 10.4.5 update but to no avail. I have even rebooted (Ugh) several times.

    What now? - I really don't feel like reinstalling with en0 connected just to fix this
    Thanks for any advice

    I would attempt to find a Windows machine to set it up as Samsung's Mac software is abysmal.
    However I have found this step by step on an Amazon review, I don't know if it will work:
    1. Setup the physical printer machine according to manual. Then connect it your Macbook via USB. Make sure the printer is powered on and verify the Macbook is powered on with wireless network Access.
    2. Insert the supplied software CD and double click on the CD from your desktop.
    3. Double click and execute to Mac_installer folder >Installer OS X icon.
    4. Complete the license agreement and installation steps.
    5. This will be a standard install without the wireless option. This is your only option. You will not be given a chance to do the wireless installation like in the Windows version install.
    6. Enter in the admin password to install the software.
    7. Once the software confirmation screen pops up to confirm your installation was successful, proceed to DISconnect your USB connection to you Samsung Printer.
    8. In case you missed it, Disconnect the USB connection between your Samsung printer and Macbook.
    9. Navigate to Applications > Utilities >Print Setup Utility  (For Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.7) Navigate to Applications > System preferences > Print & Fax.
    10. Click Add on the printer list (For Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.7, click the PLUS sign) and new display will pop up.
    11. On the "Default" Tab of the pop up display, select or highlight the Samsung printer. In the printer name column, it should be listed as "Samsung ML-2160 Series (NNNN)", then in the Kind column, It should be listed as "Bonjour"
    Note: DO NOT select the Samsung Printer with the "USB" in the Kind column. This Samsung printer - USB option should only be selected if you intend to print from USB.
    12.  Click ADD, then select continue to create the print queue.
    13.  Now open up any word document with text and print a test page.

  • Can connect via ODBC but not via SQL Developer?

    Hi, all.
    My setup:
    Windows XP Pro
    JDK 1.6
    SQL Developer 2.1.1.64.45
    I'm attempting to connect to an Oracle DB using OS authentication and trying hand-entry of the host and SID; and also trying my TNS file. When I attempt to connect via SQL Developer, I get the following error:
    "Status : Failure -Test failed: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied."
    When I attempt this same connection, however, using ODBC and Access, I can get right in and see the tables.
    What can I try in order to get SQL Developer working correctly?
    Thanks,
    IVR Avenger

    I'm not really familiar with connections Using OS authentication, but if OCI+TNS based connections work you could try to activate OCI connections by selecting
    Preferences -> Database -> Advanced -> Use OCI/Thick Driverand then use the TNS connection type when creating your connection.
    It should work well even with the thin driver but i cannot help you in this case because i've never had to use this kind of authentication.

  • VPN clients can connect via SSTP but not IKEv2 due to error 808

    I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 with RRAS configured to allow SSTP / IKEv2 VPN connections. I'm using an external certificate for server authentication and the client authentication is done via domain username/password (Protected EAP). The clients can
    connect successfully when using SSTP, but if IKEv2 is selected, then the following error is displayed:
    Error 808:
    The network connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be established because the remote server refused the connection. This is typically caused by a mismatch between the server's configuration and your connection settings. Please
    contact the remote server's Administrator to verify the server configuration and your connection settings.
    My external certificate has the Server Authentication EKU but not the IP security IKE intermediate, however it's the only
    certificate installed, so I believe the certificate is OK.
    Any ideas on what is causing the error?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    What NAT device you are using? You must configure the IKEv2 related protocol on your NAT device too. For example if you are using the Cisco® NAT device you must
    enable the IKEv2 support on the outside interface:
    Enabling IKE on the Outside Interface
     You must enable IKE on the interface that terminates the VPN tunnel. Typically this is the outside, or public interface. To enable IKEv1 or
    IKEv2, use the crypto ikev1 | ikev2 enable command from global configuration mode:
    =================================================
    crypto ikev1 | ikev2 enable interface-name
     For example:
    hostname(config)# crypto ikev1 enable outside

  • Macbook will connect to wireless but not the internet

    My Macbook will connect to my wireless but will not follow through and connect to the internet.
    I have checked the wireless setup with my iPhone and the iPhone has no problems getting on the internet.
    I have checked with Network Diagnostics and cannot get green lights on the last 2 issues.
    I have checked firewall settings and even reduced the level of firewall, still no joy.
    I have checked the hardware with the startup disk, all hardware is OK.
    Short of a complete reinstall, what else can I do to get my Macbook back on the internet.

    I've got a late spring 2009 macbook, time capsule networked with an airport express extending my network. My Iphone never loses it's connection to the network. My Macbook has been dropping daily from the network. The only solution I found was physically disconnecting the time capsule and modem and restarting. This worked but was getting annoying, so I rang Apple.
    They told me to go to system preferences, network, location, edit locations, add a location which comes up untitled, then click on assist and keep pressing continue, select your network and enter password. I was told to monitor the situation, but this solution should help.
    Tonight my macbook dropped off the network. I went through the above solution and it reconnected, I didn't have to disconnect any of my devices. It's not ideal, but I reckon apple will release an update soon that fixes this internet drop out, reckon an automator every time internet drops using their solution solves the problem...not that i've made one.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Premium 910n wireless operation freezes while printing (and not)

    With a Linksys/Cisco E3000 wireless (encrypted) connection the HP OJ 8500A 919n will bluescreen (with a momentary error code) and crash (to a white screen with blinking lights) during printing and at random times. A (5 to 6 min) power off-on cycle is required for the printer to return to a normal state.  After many hour with HP tech support, it was determined that the printer will operate correctly via UPS direct connection to the PC and operate correcly as a network printer via wired ethernet connection to E3000 router.
    I recommend that users with this unit that experience problems with a wireless connection to the network immediately switch to wired operation to determine if that corrects the problem before calling HP tech support.  This will save many hours of "standard scripted" troubleshooting over the phone with an HP tech.  Each failed attempt to print that crashes the printer "costs" 5 to 6 minutes performing a "hard" reset and waiting for the printer to recover from a "dirty" (i.e. not a front panel switch induced) shutdown.
