Photosmart 6180 All-in-One Wireless Connection After Windows 7 Laptop Added to Network

I replaced a broken Vista laptop with a new Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  After I installed my Photosmart 6180 All-in-One, the printer stopped working correctly when we try to connect to it wirelessly. 
I followed all the directions HP provides for updating the printer software and drivers for Windows 7.
We've tried all the suggestions for resetting the printer that we can find on the HP forums. 
The printer works properly when connected via USB cable to a Vista laptop. 
I was not able to get the printer to work via USB cable connected to the Windows 7 laptop.
When we try to connect via the wireless signal, regardless of Vista or Windows 7, the printer goes into an endless initialization loop.
We need to determine whether achieving a wireless connection is hopeless.  If it is not, we need step-by-step instructions on how to resolve the issue.
The security system for the printer is WEP.  We connect through a wireless router provided by Verizon FIOS.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Some of HP's printers do not support WEP shared.  If you are using WEP shared this could be the problem.  I would suggest turning off the WEP security temporarily to see if that fixes the issue.  If it does then you can look at changing the security to WEP Open system authentication.

  • Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

    HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer  (CN731A)
    Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great.  Thought everything was good to go.  Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print.  Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there.  I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed.  This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer.  I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo?  Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Hello,
    Try the below steps ..
    While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
    Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
    Wait for 30 seconds.
    Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
    Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges  or the Printer .

  • Old MSI all-in-one wireless connectivity problem

    Hi folks,
    Hope someone can help - if only by sending me somewhere else!
    I have a reasonably old MSI all-in-one model MS-6633 (NetON AP 1900) which I bought new perhaps 6 or 7 years ago.
    I'm running it wirelessly, connected via a TP-Link Powerline Ethernet Adaptor.  My main PC is wired to a TalkTalk modem.
    For some reason it's recently been disconnecting itself from the internet, although, by going to 'connect to' I can usually fairly quickly regain the internet connection.
    I've spoken to TalkTalk and their tech guy ran 20 minutes of tests - at the end of which he said that there was nothing wrong with my internet connection or any other equipment leading to my PC......so the problem must be in the MSI unit.
    Mind you, I don't entirely trust him - would he tell me if I was getting brief disconnections caused by a fault at their end?
    He gave me the MSI number (0870 8200 009) - which always comes up with a "we're busy" automated answer - and I don't know what else to do.
    Can anyone help; tell me what I need to do, or redirect me to somewhere useful.
    Thank you

    Hi there - glad someone cares!!!
    Yep - definitely in the UK - whether I like it or not!
    Right - O/S is Windows XP Home edition
    Automated updates are always turned on....
    Connection to the phone line is by router
    I considered removing and re-installing the drivers, but thought I'd ask around first.....
    Actually, yesterday I did a clean-up which hadn't been done for ages.
    The computer concerned is my spare/back-up, which my wife uses at present and I do tend to forget to do any housekeeping on it though, but  ever since I worked it over, (cookies, temp files, etc removed) there's been no problem with the internet connection.
    I'm not taking the kudos - I just thought I'd do it and just perhaps, it's solved the problem.
    However, if anyone knows of a better way to ensure that the computer remains connected, I'd love to hear from you.

  • Photosmart B110A all-in-one wireless printer

    Printer keeps disconnecting itself from the wireless connection, have tried setting a static IP address but no luck. Any other solutions available? Can I alter the stand-by settings for the printer?
    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Darren

    View Solution.

    Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
    - Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • Photosmart 6180 all-in-one printer with error meesage "Ink System has failed"

    The printer is 3 years old and has been working fine until this week.  I now receive a 0xc1820206 error code after the "Ink System has failed" message appeared.  I tried unplugging the power cord and removing all the cartridges.  Unfortunately, after completing the instructions from the troubleshooting section and turning the printer back on, I immediately receive the error message again before I submit any print job.  Does anyone know what specifically the error code means or have anything else I can try like cleaning printheads or something? The printer is attached to an Apple Imac with the snow leopard operating system MAC 10.6
    Thank you for any suggestions. 

    The likely issue is the "plumbing" rather than the electronics.  There are various pumps and tubing that make up the ink delivery system.  Performing a reset as shown here may resolve the issue.

  • HP C4780 won't print even though it's wireless connected to my laptop and home network.

    Help! I just moved and am trying to set up my Photosmart C4780 to my AT&T 2Wire router (my last router was Netgear and I had no problems with installation/setup).  I installed the printer and it seems to be connected to my laptop (OS is Windows 7 32-bit)and network but it just won't print (excel, word, internet page, etc.). I've run the network configuration scan, wireless network report, print diagnostic, and hardware diagnostic. Everything checks out but the test page print will not print. When I try to print some from Word, it gives me a pop up error box saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." I don't know what else to try!
    Thanks in advance!

  • Photosmart C7280 All-In-One Wireless Not working

    My wireless printing was working fine with my Photosmart C7280 for about at least a year or more and now recently the wireless side stopped working. My Apple devices (both iPad and Macbook) stopped recognizing my printer. Even when I tried to add via IP address, it would not take.
    My printer is working fine when hard wired thru both my PC and Macbook via USB.
    I tried resetting my printer network settings by restoring to Network Defaults and adding back in my SSID and Password. It shows it is connected. But when I run a Wireless Network Test Page from within the printer settings, it shows everything passed and signal strength is excellent. However, the last diagnosis in the summary shows "No" to "Other networks detected matching your network name (SSID)"  so I am wondering if my printer is actually connecting properly to my network? Since I have other wireless devices connected to the same SSID.
    I turned both the printer and other devices off and then on to reboot. I turned the wireless radio within the printer settings off and on again.
    Another thing I'd like to mention is that before I deleted the printers in my Apple devices, they still showed my Photosmart 7200 series, but stated they were inactive.
    Also when I was able to get into my Verizon FIOS Broadband Router Management software thru my browser, it showed all my wireless devices, but it also showed my Photosmart as being inactive wirelessly, where the other devices that were turned on at the time were showing connected.
    I am wondering if it may have been a recent Apple update that may have caused this problem? However the Verizon Fios also showed the printer as being inactive so I am guessing not?
    I have been working on this issue for days and spent a ton of time thus far, so any suggestions to resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    I am about mid-level in technical understanding. So please spell out answers to any resolution steps very simply in your reply.

    Honestly, ISP-issued routers are very problematic.  Restart the Westell by pulling its power cord momentarily just before trying to connect the printer.

  • Fax: HP Officejet 8600 Plus (all in one wireless printer) OS: windows 7 64bit DSL Router/Modem

    this is my second Wireless printer from HP. Main problem and only problem is that every time my phone rings the fax answers which is very annoying, hearing the tone while trying to answer the phone.  I followed directions exactly.  Have the fax set to answer on 6th ring...have auto answer set to off....yet it continuously answers when the phone rings.  I've tried turning the printer off and it still happens...even when the PC and Printer are off it happens. 
    I am on a DSL line...share line with phone...have voice mail....have a home network.....

    Hi,
    Considering the fact taht you have tried turning the printer off and it still happens, I find it hard to believe it is the printer.. the fax should be turned off as any other functionality of the device.
    Please try unplugging the phone line from the 1LINE port of the fax and try dialing to your phone line.. Can you hear any fax tone then?
    If so, I affraid it is surely not coming from the HP device...
    If you can see any change, replug the printer.. make sure you connect the cable into 1LINE and not into any other port by mistake...
    Also make sure you connect the phone cable using an ADSL micro-filter.. make sure the printer connected into the Phone port of the filter and not into the ADSL port by mistake.
    Please let me know of any change,
    Shlomi

  • Photosmart C4585 All-in-One no OCR on Windows 7

    When I upgraded from vista to Windows 7, I downloaded the new driver from the website for scanning.  I was only using this for pictures until now so I did not notice that it did not seem to have the  OCR element for scanning text.  This week I have been trying to use it to scan editable text and found that this option is missing.  The manual said that you should install this feature from your CD, so I reloaded the full driver from the website (as my CD is for the vista OS).  This did not work and it STLL does not offer me the option to scan editable text.   I tried to find the OCR componant seperately, but only found one for vista  on the HP site,( which was not compatible -  I tried to install this, but it would not load or work with my driver).  I now seem to have 2 copies of the driver, both of which seem to work, and yet neither do charcter recognition, both offering me the same options ( pdf and all the other usual image formatts, but no OCR/text scanning).  Does anyone know how to get this working?  (I'm on 64 bit windows 7) and really need the feature now. Thank you.

    Hi @Angie2 ,
    I would like to help you out with the OCR Software for scanning.
    Windows 7 uses Version 13.1.0 software and the Windows Vista uses Version 12.0.1.
    The software Version most likely doesn't support OCR Software.
    When installing the Windows 7 drivers, if it gives you a option for a custom install, you might be able to select OCR to install it, if it is available.
    Most of the Officejet models do support OCR Software.
    Have a nice day!

  • HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One Only Prints Half a Page

    MacBook Pro 15.4 Laptop Model A1286
    Snow Leopard 10.6
    HP Photosmart C4780 All-in-One
    Wireless Connection
    Airport Extreme Sim Dualband
    New to wireless
    Why does the wireless printer take several minutes before it prints?
    Why does it print only the top banner of a web page?
    Why does it print only quarter or half the page of a document or web page?
    Why does it continually lapse into “pause” mode?

    Do not connect a USB cable to the router.  This will confuse and defeat the wireless connection.
    Let's add the printer using WPS:
    FIrst, start the WPS process from the front panel of your printer (Setup [Scan] > Network > Wifi Protected Setup)  Then:
    open the Apple Airport Utility
    select your wireless router
    select Manual Setup
    select Add Wireless Clients ... from the Base Station menu
    Select First Attempt then press Continue.
    You have to start the Apple Add Wireless Client process within two minutes of starting the printer's WPS pushbutton method. Actually, order doesn't matter ... you can start the Add Wireless Clients process on the the Apple router first then start the printer's WPS pushbutton method.
    Now your printer will be connected to your router.
    Because there are two printer icons in the list, let's reset the printing system again:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • HP Photosmart e-All-in-One - B110a : How can I deactivate wireless?

    Hi, everyone.
    I just bought HP Photosmart e-All-in-One - B110 and after the installation (which went OK), while trying to get acquainted with the printer and the rest of the functions, I pushed the Wireless button out of curiosity.
    Now, every time I switch on B110, the Wireless blue light keeps blinking. Does that mean that it's working?
    I do NOT want to activate wireless printing (at least for the time being). I want it deactivated permanently. Is there a way to do this?
    Many thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The blinking blue light means it's looking for a network to connect to. It won't connect to a network if you haven't put any info in the wireless setup. I believe there's an option to turn off the wireless radio in the settings somewhere.
