Photosmart B110a has 169 ip address

My router has given the printer a 169 ip address. I would like to create a static ip because this keeps happening and the printer has become unreliable. I have tried all of the switch off/switch on routines but they do not work.The solution offered for setting static addresses seems reasonable except for the fact that I have a 169 address and so cannot access the interface for changing the ip address.I am using Windows 7.It has become a very circular problem and I cannot seem to get through this no matter where I look. I have been wrestling with this for hours.If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Hi High1, and a warm welcome to the forums!
The 169.254.x.x addy simply means it's not getting any addy from a DHCP Server at all.
Is the network encrypted? WEP? WPA?
Op[en Internet Connect, click on 802.1x icon, Choose Ethernet for Network Port, fill in info... does that work or give any more clues?
Is it that the Mac is trying to remember a previous location (she sometimes takes it hope and logs on to her home ISP there). If so, how can I delete these previous locations?
If you feel that is the case, Trash these files & reboot...

    What broadband router do you have?

    If you changed the system over from another router.. have you rebooted the entire network.. particularly a cable modem.. did you power off for at least 20min..

    Pete991239,
    I'm willing to guess that you've never had ePrint work when sending from this e-mail. It appears from the message that the e-mail is being blocked at the initial gateway of the HP servers which segregates known domains (like gmail.com, yahoo.com, etc) from the ones it doesn't recognize (like rr.com, cingular.att.com). I have a strong feeling that "tesco.net" is one of those it's filtering out (but this is a speculation as I do not have access to the algorithims in place for the servers).
    Try sending a print job from a GMail account or a Yahoo account if you have access to one and see if you are capable of doing this. If so, set up an auto forward rule in one of these accounts to forward any e-mail sent to it to be forwarded on to the ePrint e-mail address. I've tested this here in our offices and have success.
    Let me know if this works.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A e-All-in-One Printer - A910a keeps getting assigned 169. ip address

    Im currently using a ubee wireless router
    my OS is Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
    My printer is able to connect to my router however it is assiged a 169 ip address, therefore my computer is unable to connect to the printer. Before I was even able to connect my printer to the network I had to disable my mac filtering on my router settings because my printer told me to do so on a wireless test report, but its been an ongoing issue where if its not the IP address its something wrong with the MAC filtering. I feel like im going in circles. Please HELP!!

    No it is not connecting to your router as the printer has an invalid IP.    What procedure are you following in the manual and the support HP web site to get connected??

  • I can't get rid of 169 ip addresses on devices

    I am having problems with computers and iOS devices using a 169.x.x.x address instead of the DCHP address supplied by Charter. This started just recently. The only thing that has changed is I installed Lion a few weeks back.
    I have gone through three modems or modem/router combos. Two different motorola modem/routers and now the rented modem only motorola from Charter. None of that made a difference.
    I have removed all AppleTV’s from the network. I have replaced a hub switch with another one. I have reset computers, renewed leases, started with one device and added more and tested each one. Nothing really seems to work.
    This is what I have right now. My main work computer is hard wired to the modem via the switch and is connected to the internet. The family computer is also hard wired and is getting the 169 address. I have two network printers that both are not working. You can see them but you can’t print to them. My iphone and ipad are not working right now because I took the Airport Xtreme router offline to solve the problem.
    Now I am at the end of my rope. Any thoughts on these last two ideas.
    1. Get a static IP from charter and assign my own addresses.
    2. Use my Airport Extreme as the next device after the modem and in place of my switch.
    Any thoughts?
    Shawn

    #2 is the right idea. You need to reconnect AirPort Extreme even if you're not using Wi-Fi.
    Your computers and printers used to get their LAN IP addresses from AirPort Extreme. With that out of the picture, those systems and peripherals self-assign 169.* addresses.
    For Charter to be happy, only one device should request an IP address from the cable modem. In your configuration, that should be your AirPort Extreme. Whenever you change the device that's plugged into the modem, you may need to power down your modem for as long as 30 minutes to get it to recognize the new configuration.
    Here's how things should probably be wired:
    AirPort Extreme WAN port->cable modem
    AirPort Extreme LAN port->LAN switch
    Desktops, AppleTV, printers, etc.->LAN switch / Wi-Fi
    If you have enough Ethernet ports on your AirPort Extreme to accommodate all your devices, skip the switch and do this:
    AirPort Extreme WAN->cable modem
    Desktops, AppleTV, printers->AirPort Extreme LAN ports / Wi-Fi
    If these arrangements seem not to work, reset your AirPort Extreme to its factory settings, cycle power on the cable modem and AirPort Extreme and try again.
    Best of luck to you.

  • Photosmart B110a & Mavericks - won't print after about two minutes...

    Evening - I've been using the Photosmart B110a for a few years no problems at all with Windows XP, Windows 7 and more recently Windows 8 - I've recently bought an iMac that is running Mavericks, and it's not right.
    It took me a while to install  it, but eventually got that sorted but now it simply hangs when I try to print to it. Now, and here's the thing, if i reboot the printer, or reboot my router (TalkTalk DSL-3780) the printer comes on line, the jobs in the queue print, I can get to the webpage for the printer and all seems ok.
    But after about two minutes it "hangs" - for want of a better phrase. The print jobs queue up, the webpage hangs, and nothing happens until I reboot it.
    Now whiles it's hanging, I can still ping the router from the terminal, but no response from any of the software - unti I reboot, and then only for a few minutes, and on the cycle goes.
    It's still fine from the Windows machines not incidentally, it only seems to be doing this from the iMac.
    The reboot fix is a solution of sorts, but it's obviously not ideal.
    Reading the forums there have been lots of posts about scanning issues with Mavericks, but I've not got that far yet.
    Could you advise one way or the other?
    Many thanks, Gary.

    Hey @Wickers , I am really sorry i misunderstood the OS you are running. 
    We have exahusted all the troubleshooting steps HP has provided for this issue.  The only driver available is for 10.8 and lower.  Unfortunately this printer is not fully compatible with the new operating systems of Mac.  The only driver available is the apple update thats you you have already done, because HP doesnt have a driver,  we are very limitted in what we can do for this issue.
    I suggest maybe trying a different printer driver such as HP Photosmart 5510d e-All-in-One Printer B111h/B111j Full Feature Software and Drivers. 
    For any further support at this point I would recommend calling the HP tech support via phone.

  • IPhone 4.2.1 print not working with Photosmart B110a

    I can access the printer web page from Safari, but "Looking for Printers" finishes with "No Printers Found". iPhone then loses WiFi connection and password has to be entered again.
    Any suggestions for getting this working would be appreciated.

    Hi there,
    I have the same problem. My printer is: "Photosmart B110a"
    I can print fine using the HP iPrint application, but when I try to print using the default printer on my iPhone (ie from Mail) I get "No Printers Found"
    We're using WPA, with an EnGenius AP, and Cable connection to the internet. 
    Does the printer need to be able to connect to the internet? I saw some other user saying that the printer updated and they were able to print. Currently we connect through a managed Linux firewall.
    Thanks!

  • My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

    My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"  I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

    What are you having problems with ?
    This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.
