Other Macs in my local wireless network can't access the HP LazerJet on my Mac
I can print with no issue from my iMac via a usb cable to the office HP LazerJet M1536nf MFP.
The others on my network can no longer print from my computer. When they attempt the que telles them the printer is offline.
We tried removing and addint the printer in System Preferneces but now they can't find the Printer as an option to select.
My iMac sharing options are checked to allow everyone to print from my computer.
I think the Macs use a Bonjour Shared connection to access the printer. Maybe the issue lies here.
I'd be very greatful for some guidance.
Hello @LaserJetTool ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you are trying to share a LaserJet M1536 via a USB connection and a Mac. This type of connection I do not typically recommend, as it is not as reliable as having the printer Ethernet connected to the network.
Have you tried such a connection?

Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -

Hi,
When you say you get an error message running the MacOS x installer disc, is it when you boot on the CD or when you insert the disc in your SuperDrive during an open session? Have you tried booting from the CD and running the Apple Hardware Test? From your list of trouble, it looks like a bad RAM, or maybe a corrup hard drive sector, but it could be something else entirely. Next time you boot, try verbose (press Command-V right after the gong), you'll see every step of boot on screen, it'll give some indication as to what makes your MBP hang up. You can also try to run AppleJack in Single-User mode (first install AppleJack ; download from here : http://applejack.sourceforge.net/ ; install as admin is required ; boot in SU by pressing Command-S at the gong): it's done wonders on my machine more than once...
"Oh, one more thing"... Is there anything connected to your MBP via USB/Firewire/Bluetooth? If so, try and unplug/disconnect everything, then boot up, just so we can rule a bad driver out. -

Jon already touched on this, but to use your "new" network, without NAT, the subnet needs to be "known".
With NAT, you can place multiple hosts behind one (or several) IPs on your existing subnet. I.e. you new subnet doesn't need to be known. (In fact, you could use any subnet you want.)
The reason the Linksys worked well yet the 2600 did not, "Enterprise" class routers generally don't handle PAT as well many consumer class routers. (NB: True NAT would probably work just fine, but what you need is to overload an IP, i.e. PAT). So, many applications won't work. (NB: I believe newer IOS versions do better, though.)
Many small Cisco Enterprise class routers, especially those from two generatations ago, were designed for "slow" WAN links, like single T1s or partial T1s, or perhaps for a few Mbps DSL. If your link has more bandwidth the router may not have the performance to support it effectively. -
Hi I was wondering :
Would I be able to make a local wireless network using airport express that my apple tv can connect to which in turn is connected to a projector with hdmi in so that I can mirror/AirPlay from iPhone pad and macwill the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private" wireless network. -
How to view channels used by other local wireless networks?
I use a wireless airport network in my office, with my Airport Express (802.11g) base station about 10 feet from my iMac. I get a lot of interference (from other networks or cordless phones) and despite interference robustness being on, my airport signal gets dropped fairly often -- and with it, I lose my Internet access and wireless printer.
There are about 15 other local wireless networks (owned by other businesses). I thought I might improve my interference robustness by switching my wireless channel to a channel used by the least number of other networks.
Now, I seem to remember running into an (Apple) app somewhere that showed these local wireless networks with their channels. But now I can't find it again, so I can't tell which channel is least used. I hope someone can help me find that app or functionality again!
Thanks.Thanks for the suggestion; I checked it out and found some questionable reviews on VersionTracker for iStumbler so I'm hesitant to jump right in (does it still fill up the Console log?)
In any case, I seem to remember finding channel information using some other application or preferences pane or something already on my system, but now I can't remember where. Is there any app that comes with OS X that shows channels on local wireless networks? I can't find this feature in Airport Utility.
Thanks for any assistance. -
None of your trusted wireless networks can be found
Hello there,
We just bought a brand new 20" iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo last night, and we are having temporary Airport problems with it. We have updated the machine to 10.4.7, have run every single update in Software Update including the newest security updates, and have run the iMac SMC firmware update. So we are totally up to date on everything.
But we think we have discovered a bug in how quickly Apple's Airport software locates PROTECTED wireless networks.
We have a wireless router from Comcast, and we are wirelessly surfing the Internet just fine! Our wireless router works, and we're having no problems surfing the Internet. We have a 128-bit WEP security key enabled on our wireless network.
HOWEVER, 100% of the time without fail, we are having TEMPORARY Airport connection problems whenever we:
1. Wake up the machine from sleep.
or
2. Restart the machine.
or
3. Turn on the machine after it has been shut down.
Whenever we do one of these 3 things, we get an error message that says, "None of your trusted wireless networks can be found. Would you like to join the open wireless network 'linksys' instead?" ("Linksys" is our neighbor's unprotected wireless network.)
If we quickly click on the Airport menu at the top of the screen right when this message comes up, we can see that OUR OWN wireless network is NOT listed underneath the Airport menu at the top of the screen.
BUT -- by the time we answer NO to the above question, when we go back to click on the Airport menu at the top of the screen, sure enough our own network is now listed there! It is there, after about a 5-second delay. So we choose the name of our own wireless network from the Airport menu, and then we're connected just fine! It doesn't prompt us for our password or anything, b/c our password is already stored in our keychain.
So there seems to be something like a 5-10 second delay before the Airport software can see protected wireless networks, like our own.
But it's driving us crazy b/c we have to go through this little song & dance routine every single time. Is there any sort of a fix or a workaround for this that anybody knows of?
We've already been inside our Network system preferences and have chosen "Preferred Networks" instead of "Automatic", and have made sure that our network is at the top of the list (in fact, it's the only one listed there right now). Yet still, the problem remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Scott
20" iMac 2.0 GHz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)A couple more thoughts. Have you checked with the maker of the router to see if there is a firmware update that the router might be needing? (usually can be found at maker's online support)
WPA2 is a much better encryption method than WEP - check and see if you can set up the router's encryption method as WPA2. Refer to this other thread
Cannot connect with WEP Encryption
I notice you mentioned this problem exists when you "Wake up the machine from sleep." I'm not sure it will help, but I have my iMacs set - at System Preferences>Energy Saver>Sleep uncheck the box "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" as that does you no real good to have it checked, and noticeable delays can occur due to that setting.
This final suggestion will not make a difference to your connection issue, but check System Profiler on its "Hardware Overview" to see if it shows:
Boot ROM Version: IM41.0055.B03
If not, there is a system firmware update, Firmware Update 1.0.1, available here [the SMC Firmware Update was included in Software Updates, so you undoubtedly already have it installed]:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303903

Check Point VPN and local wireless network
I need to use Check Point VPN to access a client's remote network. Now I cannot access my wireless printer or AirPort base station, even when I have disconnected and shutdown the Check Point client. I have removed the Check Point startup items from LaunchAgents and LaunchDaemons in order to restart without Check Point loading at start up.
When I start in Safe Boot I can access the printer, but not with a normal start up. How can I find the other startup items that are interfering with my local wireless network?
Am running Mountain Lion.Thanks for the reply.
I found an installer in the Library as suggested.
The installer did not install successfully.
I trashed the installer, repaired permissions, downloaded the software again and was able to install successfully.
I will not be able to test the connection until I am off the network but I am better off. -
Apple tv and a local wireless network
i'm trying to set up my apple tv and my macbook pro, but i have no internet connection where i'm at currently. i assumed you could simply set up a local wireless network, so i hooked up my netgear router and my macbook recognizes and well...the apple tv kinda freak out when the wireless router is on. it doesn't always respond to the remote. when it does find the wireless signal, it frequently resets itself and then stalls out again....when i turn the router off, the apple tv functions normally....with no content from my macbook though of course......
any thoughts?Jon Graybeal1 wrote:
atv2 does connect when wired directly, but behaves the same way, stalls out, freezes, resets, etc.
is there a better router to go with when trying to set up a local wireless network with no internet?
I use the Apple Airport Extreme. I love it, but many others like D-Link, Netgear..... I would look for an N router if your Netgear isn't. What is your Netgear hooked up to? That might be the problem. I also think that you might want to hook up the ATV2 wired and then restore it, and reenter all of the user and setup info afterward. It may not be the Netgear at all. If you restore the ATV2 and it still does it, then you can look at the Netgear and what it's hooked up to. No sense spending money if what you have works well. If you don't have Internet (I just noticed that statement above), I think you'll have issues with the ATV2. It has to have a way of connecting and phoning home to Apple, etc. -
None of my trusted wireless networks can be found???
I recently had to completely erase and reinstall my operating system, and am now working to get all the settings back to how they were.
After I reinstalled, I had to re-establish my wireless connection, which took quite a lot of work and help from my isp Verizon. Now, even though I can connect, I get a message every time I turn my computer on that says
"None of your trusted wireless networks can be found. Would you like to join the open wireless network named "05B404105886" "?
When I click 'ok' I can connect.
Could you please tell me what settings I need to change so I don't get this message anymore and I just connect automatically upon turning on my Mac?

when you get the chance, burn a CD or DVD of your home directory; invest in a USB/FW backup and bootable hard drive that you can use - it really is essential to backup before applying updates, or so that you can repair your main drive.
In the meantime, try to burn a copy of

etc. -
I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions. -
I am trying to connect my Ipad 2 to my Mac Air over bluetooth.
I can connect them to each other, and both machines say they are connected over bluetooth.
However I can not access the internet on the Ipad...says it is not connected to the internet.
Does anyone know if you can fix this?
THank youYes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

Any ideas why I can only access the itunes library and photos of one of the two user accounts on my iMAC? Settings for each of the accounts is the same, as far as I can tell.
Appreciate any help.If you are attempting to share to both at the same time, you can't.
Are you selecting the second AppleTV in home sharing options on the MBP. Are all devices signed in for Home Sharing with the same AppleID?

New wireless network with several access points
Hi,
We are planing to deploy a wireless network that will cover two floors consisting of about 5 or 6 Access points. It should have 2 or 3 SSID (placing the clients in 2 or 3 different VLANS).
What would be the best solution for this?
I read a lot about wireless controllers. What about an option to just buy standalone access points? Are they all configured to work with the same SSID's and on the same channel?A centralized controller should make your life easier:
- Centralized config - set up everything on the controller and it gets applied to the AP's.
- Centralized monitoring - when someone has a problem, you can check the controller instead of having to figure out the AP to which they are connecting (computers don't always connect to the closest AP)
- Dumb AP's - if someone steals one of your APs, they will not be able to learn much about your network from a lightweight AP
- Radio Resource Management - let the controller make the channel and power setting decisions for you
- If you use PoE, you may never have to get on a ladder and use the console port of a lightweight AP. The AP is managed by the controller, and for the rare occasion that you can't get an AP to respond - just cycle the power to the AP via the switch port.
There are some downsides:
- Cost of the controller (since you're buying AP's one way or the other)
- Most cost: If your wireless network is important, then you typically want a second wireless controller as a backup
- Probably more downsides, but my brain hurts today -
Networks will "connect" over Wifi, but DNS resolution is impossible and I can't access the internet.
My OSX 10.7.5 iMac (late 2011) will connect to my university's wireless network and thinks it's connected to the internet, but cannot resolve any DNS - and cannot actually access the internet on any browser or internet-utilising app. My university has 2 networks, a regular wifi one and an eduroam one. I have the same problem on both networks. My MacBook, running Snow Leopard, and my iPad (latest software) both connect to both networks just fine.
Because it's my university's network, i can't reset my router or anything like that. I'm in halls. I don't think it's a network issue, because all my other devices are fine.
I've searched high and low on these forums but haven't found anyone having exactly the same problem as me - I've heard of odd few minutes of people losing their connections in this manner, but my computer's been down now for hours and nothing. I've restarted it many times, even once in "Recovery Mode" and I'm getting nothing. I've followed instructions to flush my DNS cache, renew DHCP leases, I've tried manually inputting various DNSes I've found (eg the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 google ones), none of which have worked.
Using terminal, I can't ping either an http:// domain, or an IP address. Both get "timed out" as a response. I can't access the internet on any browser (chrome, safari, firefox), my google mail notifier, Skype, or my twitter app. Or anything else.
I'm relatively computer literate, but I'm not particularly code-savvy, so I'd really appreciate it if I could get some step-by step help on here, bearing in mind what I've already tried. I'm really worried, because it all seems to have happened completely out of the blue. Last time I updated was some time a couple weeks ago; I update whenever my software update beeps at me.
Thanks.
