OJ 6500A Disappears from wired & wireless Network

Hi,
I have a recent problem that occurs with printing from wired network on Win 7 (64) machines, iPhones, iPad, Win XP (wireless connection to network). Most of the time the printer can't be located by the HP SW (ePrint or local installed printer in Win 7). If I power down/up the printer, poof it can be found & prints/scans fine. This also occurs with scanning using HP Scan (shocking, right?).
It didn't have this problem when I first got it; worked day in/day out wired and wireless.
I have reinstalled SW on PCs and iOS devices and attempted to update firmware on the OJ, still happens. When I tried firmware update the HP Printer Update SW determined it was "not applicable" to my printer (Version: SYM2FN1110AR).
Network: Netgear Rangemax N600 Router with wired connection to printer and two of the affected PCs; other devices are wireless. Problem happens with manual IP addres and automatic.
This seems like a SW/FW problem to me but I seem to have exhasted that trail. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Make sure that the energy save mode is turned off on the printer. Click on the setup icon, scroll to preferences, then down to energy save mode. Turn if off and see if that helps.
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

  • Connecting AX to mixed wired/wireless network

    I've got a networking issue that I can't seem to solve and could use some help. I have a old house that, while not terribly large, has very thick, radio opaque walls.
    I use a cable modem connected to an Airport Extreme which creates a wireless network within the house (which I extend around the house with a couple of Airport Expresses). I also have two computers wired via some VERY long CAT5e ethernet cables to the same Airport Extreme - a MacMini in my kitchen and a MacPro in my office (which is detached, across the yard from the main house). Right now I also use an Airport Express in my office to extend my wireless network for my clients who come to the office with laptops, etc. and also for my iPad. But the wireless signal is so weak out in the office that even with the Airport Express repeating it, it's very slow and spotty.
    So, I bought an Ethernet switch, thinking I could split the Ethernet coming into the office and run one directly into the MacPro and the other into the Airport Express. I figure it's not hard to configure the Airport Express to create a NEW wireless network with the data coming in via Ethernet. However, what I want to do is create a node on my EXISTING wireless network (so my devices can see each other), just using data coming from the ethernet port instead of repeating the weak wireless signal that's reaching the office from the house. Is this possible? If so, how do I do this?
    By the way, I have both old (G) AX's and well as a couple of new (N) ones. Right now the new ones are in the house and an old one is in the office, but I could move things around if it made things work.
    Thank you.

    Hey Bob,
    I set up the Airport Express as you described and, while it worked at first, I'm running into some difficulties. Basically, the AX unit tends to disappear from the network after about an hour. It's very strange because, like I said, it works at first and I have great signal out in the office then... poof!... it's gone. And it doesn't just disappear from the wireless network. Both my MacPro and MacMini (which are connected via ethernet) can't see it either. I have to unplug/replug the unit to get it to show up again.
    I thought it might be the particular unit. But I've tried two AX (G) units and my old AirPort Extreme (G) UFO shaped router all in the same bridge configuration and they exhibit the same behavior -- working at first then dropping off the network and requiring a reboot to reappear.
    Do you have any thoughts? I'd be most grateful.

  • Remote can't find iTunes on mix wired/wireless network

    I am trying to control music from a iMac running iTunes using the iPhone Remote app. I've previously done this successfully with a wireless only network (using the Airport Express wifi to join my existing wifi network etc).
    However, since introducing D-Link Homeplugs into my network, I am unable to 'see' the iTunes library from the Remote app when I connect wirelessly to the airport express.
    My hardware is configured as follows:-
    *Netgear Router (wireless disabled) -> Homeplug power network -> iMac running iTunes*
    And elsewhere on the Homeplug network, I have:
    H*omeplug power network -> Airport Express [set up as wireless access point]*.
    If I connect the Express to the iTunes machine directly - leaving the wireless access details the same - it all works fine. If I move the Airport Express and reconnect over the Homeplug network, the Remote fails to 'see' the library, although I can still send music over the network (using the iTunes interface on the iMac) to the remote speakers.
    My network uses the router as a DHCP (range 192.168.0.x mask 255.255.255.0), Airport Express is connected to Homeplug ethernet with a static IP (in the same range) and provides wireless access (unsecured for now while i get this working). The iMac has a static IP (in the same range). If I swap the iMac for a PC (XP - using DHCP from the router for IP), I get the same result. If I use an iPhone network application to view the network (connected by the wifi access point on the AX) then I can see all the machines on my network as I would expect.
    To reiterate, if I cable this network directly (either AX->iMac or AX->hub->iMac) then it works. As soon as I go AX->Homeplug power network->iMac then the Remote app loses sight of the library.
    I wouldn't expect any firewall on the wired->wireless networks on my router (a Sky branded Netgear 934g). I also didn't think that the Homeplugs would block.
    So does anyone have any ideas why the Remote application loses sight of my iTunes library when connecting via Airport Express cabled into a Homeplug ethernet network ?
    Thanks for any help because I miss my music
    cheers,
    Tim

  • TS3276 Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

    Cannot send emails in mountain lion from another wireless network, when are apple gong to fix this

    You might be able to set up the SMTP server settings in Mail to authenticate with a password. That may get the email through.
    In Mail Preferences, Accounts, select the account.
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu and select Edit SMTP Server List
    Select the Server and then click the Advanced tab at the bottom.
    Select Password authentication and add your details.
    You might also want to set a custom port (even if it is one of the defaults)
    This solution is normally for an email provider that will not let you send outside of your ISP network, which most prevent. They also must support password authentication of the SMTP server.

  • HP Photosmart c309 and printing from Vista laptop on wired/wireless network

    Ok going to be as thorough at possible here.
    Its a brand new HP Photosmart c309 which I received this past Weds, so far so good both my Wife and I are enjoying it. Now I have it wired into my home network which consists of a Linksys switch in our home office and Netgear wireless router in the basement. The Linksys switch is wired to the router in the basement for internet/network connection...I have my Dell workstation running Windows XP SP3 (with all the latest patches from Microsoft, Mcafee AV) and the photosmart printer wired to the switch. I installed the HP software and drivers from the disk on the XP workstation and all is well...prints, scans and I'm able to view the printer settings, ink levels and what not.
    NOW my Wife's Dell Vista laptop (which is patched to the latest from Microsoft, Mcafee AV) is getting really annoying. First I hate Vista but that’s another story...the Vista laptop connects to our home network via the wireless network through the Netgear router. So I followed the same steps as my XP workstation, it finds the printer during setup and all is well till the part when it wants to send a test page...so I opt to skip the photo test page and just do a standard one. Well it "sends" a test page or at least it looks like it does but nothing comes out of the printer (ie no activity from printer). The printer icon shows up in the system tray in the lower right hand corner of the screen near the time and when I put the mouse pointer over the icon is says "0 in queue" so I double click the icon to see if I can get more info and nothing happens. Right click the icon and choose open all active printers and again nothing. The printer icon is in the system tray for about 10-15 seconds and then disappears.
    So I'm a little confused here, I check the printer in "printers & faxes" and both it and the fax part are listed...the printer even says it’s in "ready" status. I start the HP solution software on the laptop and I am able to scan from the printer to the Vista laptop fine, I'm able to view printer settings, network settings, ink levels and what not. I JUST CAN'T printer to it.
    I tried another test page from the printer properties within Windows, again the icon shows up in the system tray and it says "0 in queue" and the icon disappears after 10-15 seconds. I then try to print a picture using the HP software and the same thing...icon shows up in system tray "0 in queue" and it disappears.
    Did I do something wrong or am I missing a special step for Vista machines? I did uninstall and reinstall software/drivers and manually removed the printer and then reinstalled everything with no luck and no change...still acts the same.
    I'm lost at what else to try. I think I tried the obvious stuff. I've searched the web to come up blank with a similar situation like mine...I've seen others complain about printing 1 page documents and the printer prints 3,6,16 pages at a time which is the opposite from my situation.
    Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Bruno

    Have you received an answer to this question?  I'm having the exact same problem.  Spent 4 hours on the phone with HP tech support and no solution.

  • C309A disappears from wired network

    My C309A regularly (almost daily) disappears from the Network, sometimes between jobs, and I have to use CD to "add a new device" to reestablish connection.  One PC is Win 7 64 bit and one is Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit.
    Ready to throw printer out window.

    Does it actually disappear from the network or from Control Panel > Printers?  Tell me about your network - router brand/model and ISP type (DSL, Cable, etc).

  • PC's disappear from Airport Extreme Network

    I have an Airport Extreme and three computers (MacPro and 2 PC's) Ethernet hard-wired to it for internet connection -- which works fine on all three computers. I set up a network between the three computers about a month ago and it worked perfectly for two weeks, then the two PC's disappeared from the Mac's Finder, and the "shared" marker also disappeared. About a week later, everything reappeared and again worked fine -- now it is gone again. I am confused because there is nothing wireless in play and when the computers appear in the "shared" list, everything works flawlessly, for as long as it lasts. I have been reading about a possible problem with Airports losing printers when attached through a hub, but that is not the case here either, the printers work fine. Does anyone have any thoughts? I really appreciate your time.

    check the network setting... I mean all PC + Mac accessing the same network group... check on your airport utility - advanced - wins and select the workgroup named workgroup from the drop down menu, or whatever the name of the network is. also on systems preferences - sharing - file sharing should be on, and select options on file sharing and select afp, ftp and smb.
    all these things always with firewalls off. keep firewalls off until you see the pc always and then start working on firewall settings

  • Airport Express Problem with Wired/Wireless networks simultaneously

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble maintaining a connection with my AX (2012) in a work environment.  Basically, I have a Win 7 laptop connected via ethernet to the internet/corporate net.  I have configured the AX to create a separate wifi network that does not connect to the internet. In order to connect to the AX, I have to disable both the Ethernet adapter and the WLAN adapter, enable the WLAN adapter, connect it to the AX's network, and wait for it to show up in the utility.  Only then can I re-enable the ethernet adapter for internet access.  Then, inevitably, the connection dies within 15 minutes and I have to repeat the whole process.
    Can anyone tell me what's going on here?  Is the wired network interfering with the wireless network?  Is something configured wrong?  Below is the output from ipconfig/all, if that helps.  The AX is configured with a 169.254 range. IP address and behaves the same way whether the IP address is auto or manual, and there is no difference if the signal roams channels or is fixed to a single channel (I've played with them all).
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Here goes - read this through completely and see if it makes sense:
    1.  Reset the Express to factory settings by unplugging it and plugging it back in while holding in the reset button - release the button when the light starts blinking - then wait for the light to blink slowly indicating factory default.
    2.  Disable the wireless and enable the ethernet on the laptop and connect an ethernet cable to the WAN port (the circle of dots) of the Express and use the AU toset it up in bridge mode to create a wireless network with a name of your choice - you don't really need a password but you can assign one if you wish - if you do not use a password you will have to choose to ignore the error message for no security.
    3.  Accept all other defaults and ignore any messages about not having an internet or ethernet connection and update or finish the setup - if you get a blinking amber light, open the AU and correct any error messages.
    4. You can now disconnect the ethernet cable and disable the ethernet on the laptop and enable the wireless so you can stream iTunes to the Express - the laptop must stay wireless to do this - you can not accesss both at the same time - you can also use an iPhone or iPad or iPod to use Airplay and then you can use the laptop via ethernet for the internet.
    5.  To access the Express from now on, you have to use the AU wirelessly from the laptop.
    The above is assuming that you don't currently have wireless in your office - the other alternatives are:
    1.  To hardwire the Express and have it create a wireless network and access the internet - you could then use your laptop wirelessly or wired to connect to the Express and use Airplay and your pc at the same time.
    2.  If your office has wireless, you can set up the Express to "join" the existing network - you can then do the same as in number 1.
    I hope this helps - everyone's situation is different - the above scenarios work for me - you might have to do some tweaks but the info is there - let me know if you have any questions.

  • Airplay from itunes to zepplin air will disconnect my computer from my wireless network

    Hi there,
    Relatively new subject matter, so haven't been able to find much online...
    I recently purchased a Zeppelin Air - for those who don't know its an ipod speaker system with airplay built in.  I'm running a Windows Vista x64 machine with the latest version of iTunes.
    When I open up iTunes and go to play a song, everything works fine for about 30 seconds and then the audio stops and my computer disconnects from my network.  My network icon in the system tray shows disconnected and of course a new browser window won't open my home page. 
    I then tried using a program called Airfoil to stream Spotify to my Zepplin speakers and it works fine.  Go back to itunes to test out (streaming from itunes now, and not the Airfoil program) and it makes it past a minute, but then after a few minutes it starts getting choppy.  I press stop and start another song... a whole song finishes.  Next song about a minute in it disconnects my computer from my home network again.
    Next I open up Airfoil and have it hijack itunes rather than using the airplay feature in itunes. I make it a few minutes into one song, decide to skip to another, no problem.  No disconnects.
    Back to itunes, no airfoil this time, back to using the airplay feature from itunes.  25 seconds into a song, it gets really choppy, drops audio.  I press stop and try another song... really choppy can't seem to keep a solid connection.  I try a few songs, one makes it through, then I go back to another and my computer loses connection to my network again.
    So point being is it appears to be an iTunes issue and not a Zeppelin issue.  In fact this is my second Zeppelin, I returned the first one because it was having the same problems.
    The only functional difference I can see is that iTunes seems to be more responsive in the congrols for pause/play/volume where as Airfoil has a slight delay.  I feel that maybe iTunes is pushing too much data out for my wireless adapater to handle?
    Also streaming Pandora from an ipad works no problem...
    I'm going to be trying a new adapter soon, but curious to see if anyone has any insights.
    Thanks,
    Travis

    I've narrowed down the problem to a combination of my Windows Vista 64 machine and streaming directly from iTunes.
    I tested my laptop with XP and had no problems streaming from iTunes.
    I then connected my Vista machine directly to the router and when streaming directly from iTunes I had all sorts of skips and pauses, but when streaming from Airplay no problem.
    I attached an image of my network stats from the same song via iTunes and Airplay.  The spikes in the network traffic seem to be the problem when streaming from iTunes...

  • Is it possible to to disconnect 2 wireless clients from my wireless network without access to the clients i.e. 2 iPads?

    Is it possible to disconnect 2 wireless clients from my network if I do not have access to the clients? ie 2 iPads.

    You would have to set up Timed Access for each device.
    This consists of specifying the amount of time each day that wireless devices will be allowed to connect to the network. You must provide a MAC or hardware address for each device, which is a long code that might look something like this, for example......A1-B2-C3-D4-E5-F6....and then specify the hours each day that this device is allowed to connect to the wireless network.
    You have to do this for each device, which is tedious. Devices that are not on the Access List cannot connect to the network at any time.

  • New tip trick for capturing scanned images to the PB from your wireless network printer

    I've read a couple of threads here and on crackberry about not being able to print directly to a printer on the local network (although there is a way to print via the cloud from gmail apparently). Anyway it occurred to me that I can browse to my printer's IP address and in addition to allowing me to configure it, it also lets me scan documents to jpg, pdf, and tiff formats and then renders the scanned image through the browser. I tried this from the Playbook browser and it worked perfectly. i was able to view and save the scanned document directly to my Playbook file system. Even more conveniently I could just take a screenshot of the browser window. Now if only the printer would let me print the scan or better yet browse to and upload a local file for print my printing problems would be solved. I am using an older HP 2500 psc. Does anyone know of a newer model wireless/network printer that allows printing via the browser interface?

    Just to clarify. When your playbook and the wireless printer are on the same network, you can browse to the IP address of the wireless printer from your playbook just as you could from your PC or laptop. The browser will display the printer's web features which in my case includes the ability to scan the document that is laying on the scanner bed of the printer. When I click the scan button, the image of the scanned document renders on my playbook and I am able to save the rendered TIFF, JPG, PDF to the playbook locally or I can even just take a screenshot (press the playbook's volume up and down buttons simultaneously) and then the image of the document from the browser window automatically saves to the camera folder under pictures.
    What I would like is to find a wireless printer that from the web page that is displayed when I browse to the printers local IP address be able to browse to a file on my playbook and upload it to the printer (kind of like uploading or attaching a document to a gmail email message or uploading a local picture to Facebook etc...) and then instruct the printer to print the document. Obviously this would only work when I was on the same local wireless network as the printer but it would essentially solve the "how to print directly to a wireless printer from the playbook?" question.

  • My iphone disappears from itunes - wireless connection.

    I have to restart the computer to get itunes to find it again.  any help appreciated.

    From my own experience, iTunes Wifi Sync can sometimes be a bit annoying...
    First, you should have "Sync this iPhone over wifi" (in the General tab) enabled.
    Sometimes you have to restart iPhone or iTunes, but I never had to, nor have I heard of people requiring computer restarts...
    In your case it could also be a Wifi connection problem. Is your PC or Mac always connected to the same network as the iPhone? Could be a problem with Laptops as you move them between places.
    Also, if your Wifi connection is very weak, iPhones tend to fail connecting from time to time. The iPhone would then just disappear from iTunes.
    Hope this helps

  • Wired & wireless network

    Hi There,
    We currently have a cable modem and 2 airport express (old type that plug directly into power socket) working together.
    However  would like to:
    have a wired network - i have installed cat5e cables to tv, pvr, dvd player etc
    AND
    have a wireless network
    I am confused about switches and routers?
    What hardware do i require to make this work?
    I know i need a router but can the airport express work as a wired router or just a wireless router?
    Thanks,
    Susan

    Yes you just need to connect the wireless router to the cable modem first then to your computers. The wireless router should have some LAN ports on the back that you can use to connect your two computers to. Then you can also connect to the wireless with your third computer as long as it's within range. What happens is the router regardless if it has wireless or not will establish a single network connection to the internet via cable modem. Then the router creates a local network for all of your computers and routs all the connections through the cable modem. It may take some configuring but that's how it works.
