Photosmart 7510. Unable to find printer

I am trying to set up a photosmart 7510 All in one. I am on Windows Vista 32 bit. My wireless network test results are fine. Everything says PASS and my signal quality is EXCELLENT. My Network Configuration Page says status is READY and my Active Connection type is WIRELESS. I am able to print from my phone using Eprint. I am able to open the printer apps on the printer so I know I have an internet connection. When I try to print from the computer I get an error message that says UNABLE TO FIND PRINTER. i have disabled my firewall, uninstalled my anti virus protection just to see if that helps. I changed from IE9 to IE8 but still doesn't work. The last 2 days I have about 6 1/2 hours on the phone with HP and an engineer will be calling me on Monday. It's driving me nuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

On this page look at the Print Diagnostic utility, and maybe the Network Diagnostic utility:

HP Photosmart 7510 - Unable to Find Printer

I am installing the HP Photosmart 7510. The wireless connection is good with a strong signal. Router is a Cisco Wireless-G. I am running Windows XP. I have rebooted with the firewall disabled, but continue to get the error message "Unable to find the printer" after entering the IP address displayed on the network status page of the printer screen. I have also tried using the SSID but it cannot find it with that either. The Help screen and troubleshooting with the online manual have been no help. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.
This question was solved.

Thanks so much for all your efforts, Brent. The diagnostic tool wasn't able to locate the printer.... which we already knew was the problem (lol).... but it didn't offer a solution.
However.... I have success! I am going to blame the fact that it's late and I'm tired because it fleetingly occurred to me to unplug the router and printer and reboot a while ago but I didn't do so. I finally did it, just now, out of frustration. Well... the printer is now up and running. I feel like a bit of an idiot but at least I can go to bed now. Thanks again!

Photosmart 6520--Unable to Find Printer error

I just purchased a HP Photosmart 6520 printer. I installed the software onto my computer; however, I am unable to complete the set up due to receiving the error message that the printer cannot be found. I entered the IP address as indicated on the printer and uninstalled/reinstalled the software, to no avail. If it cannot be fixed, I will have to return the printer.

I figured out the problem. It was my firewall on my computer!

Unable to find printer on computer

unable to find printer on computer even though cd loaded and printed wireless network test report printed from printer detects no problems

Your computer has a firewall installed that's blocking the printer identification...disable firewall & try again.

1. Product Name and Number
     • HP Deskjet 3512
2. Operating System installed (if applicable)
     • Windows 7 64-bit
3. Error message (if any)
     Unable to find printer.
    Facts:
- Printer is connected to network. Panel LED is unblinking blue and the status indicates the correct SSID for my network. Also the router config page indicates that the printer is connected with a correct IP (192.168.1.XX).
- Wireless Network Test Results diagnostics of the printer states that all PASSED, except that the Internet says 'Not connected'.
- Tried to ping the IP that the printer panel says, but cmd says: Destination Host Unreachable. Tried arp -a after that but it does not show the IP & MAC address of the printer.
- Turned off: Windows firewall, router firewall (Telus Actiontec V1000H) and disabled MAC Address Control and uninstalled Avast AV and reboot.
- Cannot access printer Embedded Web Server.
- Tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor and it didnt find the printer. And when it did find it, it was by using the USB cable. After selecting the fixes, it came to 'Unable to Find Printer again'.
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
     • No changes. Bought the printer and I'm having this issue.
PLEASE HELP!

To start out sounds like this is a driver issue. I want to start with being sure that the removal of the software and reinstallation happened in the best possible fashion. I want you to follow my steps so I can be sure that we are both starting on the same page.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
find and install the FULL FEATURE SOFTWARE if it is available :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=5241114
Install that and let me know the result!

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. Wireless commands from my computer to printer work

My iPad shows my Photosmart 7510 but won't print. I've disconnected and reconnected printer, turned iPad off and on. My computer communicates well wirelessly with the printer. Troubleshoot further?

I would try a hard reset on the iPad.
To do so, hold both the home button and sleep button down at the same time.
Keep holding them until the device restarts and you see the Apple logo.
Once you see the Apple logo, you can go ahead and release the buttons.
Once the iPad is booted back up, try to print to your 7510 again.
Let know if that helps resolve your issue or not.
Best of luck,
Kyle

Photosmart 5510 unable to find my MacBook pro.

I have read many posts with regards to scanner and printing issues with printer compatible AirPrint. I have tried all solutions by the experts but my printer cannot scan from computer, error message is "unable to find computer make sure printer is connected to a network and turned on". I find that not all the setting are available in order to turn on Scan to Computer. I have tried two HP printers Photosmart 5510 and 3050 both with same results, I have eventually established a more permanent connection by selecting the Bonjour name for the printer when adding a printer to Print & Scan, not the HP name.The HP software did not appear to work for me as it was unable to find the wireless printer on the network. So I used the option to obtain wireless connection to my router using the printer panel, then adding the printer from Print & Scan and ensure that AirPrint is selected not Printer Software.
I still have issues when printing from a web page but I can work around that as I also have IOS devices where I use HP Apps, even though Airprint should work on these devices without needing apps.
My OSX is Mountain Lion
Macbook is mid 2010
Printer is Photosmart5510 B111a

It sounds like the issue is with the printing system since Airprint works (which is a very different system all together). The scan function will not work with Airprint and the full featured drivers is required to have that functionality from HP. However, there are alternative ways to scan if you want some scanning functionality until the software issue is corrected.
Try resetting the printing system before continuing. Resetting the printing system will remove any printers from the system.
Have you tried installing the newest 10.8 full featured drivers from HP?

HP ENVY 4501 e-All-in-One: Unable to Find Printer

I just recently got a HP ENVY 4501 e-All-in-One. The printer is connected wirelessly to my router but after I installed the software, it was unable to find the printer. I have tried it on 3 different computers. 2 with Windows 7 and the other with Windows Vista. How can I get the computers to find the printer? Also, can a Linux system also use the printer?
Thanks.

Hi blanchard10,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some installation issues.
Just so you are aware, no Linux driver is available for this printer at this time.
I do have a few steps that we can try in the attempt to install the printer on to your Windows 7 and Vista computers.
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.
Seeing that you are attempting to install the printer with a wireless connection, we do need to have the software and drivers installed on to each computer.
Here is the HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
Please make sure that you do NOT have any firewalls or anti virus protection running while doing the installation.
Save the download to the Desktop of the computers so that it creates its own icon. This will make it easy to find the download when it is completed on each computer. Double click the new icon and follow the installation instructions. The installation will give you connection options. Select wireless.
On the front panel of the printer, we will need to go through the Wireless Setup Wizard. To get to the Wizard we will need to be on the main display of the printer and touch the Wireless icon on the top of the printer window. Select Settings and then select the Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the instructions to connect to the network. You will need the IP address once the printer is connected to add to each computer when prompted to do so.
Please write me back if you are still having issues or if you have any other questions.

Unable to find Printer OfficeJet 8600

Hello
I have a printer which work for an entire network, the network is segmented using VLANs from some VLAN I can print but for some others not, I know is not a problem with the packets routing path because form those who can not print I can ping the printer without any problem.
When installing the printer driver I get an error "Unable to find the printer". This error is displayed in those machines that are able to ping the printer.
I have already used hostname and IP to try to locate the printer but failing.
Using the Windows printer instalation wizard I can see the printer but cannot get the proper .inf file to configure it. I only get the K8600 series which is a different model.
I need help please

Shurlee, I want you to do is re-run the wireless setup wizard on your printer. Then uninstall it, and reinstall it again using the software I am going to link you to below. From what you describe it sounds like either an installation issue or an issue with your network. If this helps feel free to mark my post by hitting the star below my name which gives me a kudos - kinda like a job well done on here.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Download these files and install them. By the way these are for the N911a, but if you have the 8600 Plus or Premium you will need different drivers.

HP Photosmart 7510 "Could not get printer information from HP" NOT SOLVED

OK. So, I have searched all over the forums for a clear solution to this problem, and I have yet to see one that applies to my printer (HP Photosmart 7510). I have regestered the printer, selected 'everyone' in the allowed senders area, and am still receiving the same error message when trying to connect Google Cloud Print. Being able to print my google docs is EXTREMELY important... can anyone shed light on this?
If I have missed a post on my specific problem, I apologize for the double-posting.
Thanks

amp85,
The ePrint servers have been going through some heavy maintence here lately to upgrade the servers and it seems like it is causing issues with Google Cloud Print. I would keep trying and see if anything changes, it should resolve itself when the maintence has been completed. If you are still having issues after the next couple days, post back in here and let me know. Hopefully I'll have some more information about this issue by then if it has not yet been resolved.

5512 all in one wireless; unable to find printer from my laptop

Last week we had to replace our wireless modem. Yesterday was the first day we needed to print something. The printer was showing it was "offline" on my laptop and my son's laptop. It hadn't been connected to the new modem, so I did that. It shows a wireless connection and good signal strength. After that our laptops still showed it was offline. Another laptop doesn't show the printer is offline but we get an "unable to print" error message. I decided I would uninstall the printer from my laptop and then reinstall it (I'd had this issue before and this worked) but now it says there's no printer found when trying to add it back. Any ideas???

Hello LLHRN07,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue when it comes to connecting the printer to the new wireless router.
I suggest that you try to run the Wireless setup Wizard from the printer. To do so, please go to the front panel on the printer, use the right arrow and go to the SetUp Menu. Use the right arrow again and select the Wireless Menu. From here, go to the Wireless SetUp Wizard and follow the prompts to connect to the new router.
If you have any issues, or any other questions, please feel free to write me back.

Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8. I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch. I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers. Hit the "+" button. The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it. The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success). I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn. Why is this method not working with this printer?
I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement. Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable. Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer. Successfully printed a document page. While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog. The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

I apologize for the delay in responding to you. I was on the road all day yesterday.
OK. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network. That did not work. I swapped out the cable for one that I know works. Still no change. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router. No change. I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?
After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

Hey guys,
I have a printer that I cannot print from - it keeps saying there is a paper jam but when I investigate there is nothing there and I can no longer access the printer cartidge tray (when I open the tray, the cartridge tray no longer moves into the middle).
I have turned off and on etc and there is definately no paper jam - any other thoughts?

HP Photosmart 7510 will ONLY use photo black ink

I have a photosmart 7510 printer and I'm printing from microsoft word 2010 on a windows 8 computer. I'm printing a word document with no pictures in it. The printer preferences are set to Plain Paper with Normal quality. I cannot get the printer to use the XL black ink cartridge. It only uses the photo black ink. Is there a setting I can choose to get it to use the regular black ink?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi shirsar,
I understand you have a Photosmart 7510 that seems to be using a lot more of the photo black than the regular black ink. I'm sorry to hear this, but believe I can assist you with a solution.
You can set the printer to use black ink only when printing from the PC and that should ensure that it uses that the black ink and not the photo ink. My instructions will be to set it up in the driver so it does it for all programs (if you want it for just the program please let me know and I will advise further). You will want to start with going to your Start screen, and just start typing Devices and Printers and you will want to open that (if that doesn't work type in Control Panel and then proceed to open Devices and Printers). Once Devices and Printers is open, right click on your Photosmart 7510 icon and select Printing Preferences. You will then want to click the Advanced button at the bottom right of the screen. The next page that opens will allow you to set the printer to use Black Ink Only when printing from the PC (please follow the screen shot below for any clarification).
Hope this helps, have a great day!!
