Photosmart D110 losing network connection - I have to reboot my router every time I print

Every time I have to print the printer cannot be found by any device (desktop (mac and windows), laptop, iphone, or ipad).
The printer says it is connected to the wireless network, but no device can see it and the desktops show it as offline.
The only way to remedy the situation is to reboot the wireless router.  I am not sure if this just happens over time or every time the D110 goes to sleep.  Either way it renders the wireless feature of this device useless and frankly why have it if I have to reboot the entire network any time anyone in the house wants to print something.  This is quite frustrating. 

Try update the firmware of router.

  • Randomly losing network connection over wireless

    Shortly after installing the 10.4.5 software update, my G4 iBook with built-in Airport Extreme card has been losing connection with increasing frequency. Built-in Ethernet use is unaffected. I'm calling this problem thrash-and-drop.
    1. When it's losing signal, processor activity goes through the roof. I had Activity Monitor running during a thrash-and-drop. kernel_task CPU consumption goes from under 1% before the event, to over 80% during the thrashing, and back under 1% after the thrashing stops. The activity is so bad the cursor can't be controlled: using the track pad sends the pointer all over the screen or nowhere at all.
    2. This has been observed to occur with two different wireless base stations: A Linksys WRT54G and an older SMC 802.11b router. Either router is within 10 feet of the computer. Only one is running at a time. There are no other base stations in range.
    3. Another iBook G4 (OS 10.3, Airport Extreme card (not built-in)), sitting next to it, shows no change and its wireless behavior is unaffected.
    Initially, this seemed more likely to happen when Safari was loading Flash-heavy pages. And after thrashing and dropping a connection, it was able to reconnect after either a reboot or a five minute sleep. Currently, it can't connect to a base station for more than a minute. Most recently, it thrashed and dropped while I was selecting the base station to use. This is true regardless of the application running. In fact, it will thrash-and-drop when there are no user applications running at all, after a fresh reboot.
    I've tried the following things to address the problem. None have affected the thrash-and-drop problem. Admittedly, most of this is random:
    1. Back up and delete network preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    2. Turn off IPv6 in System Preferences/Network
    3. Back up and delete network preferences in ~/Library/Preferences (com.apple.NetInfoManager.plist and com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist)
    Has anybody else seen this problem? I want to blame it on the 10.4.5 upgrade but I haven't seen anybody else complaining about 10.4.5 doing this to them. If there's something I can do to fix this in a software setting, I'd much prefer that to yet another roadtrip to the Apple store.

    Hi!
    I have the same problem of randomly losing network connection over wireless, though mine is hardly related to surfing.
    I have an external storage drive in which I use for backup of my stuff, and I access the drive via my modem, using the airport. Of late, I noticed that when copying files from my iBook to the external drive, the connection would suddenly drop before the transfer is completed. This began to occur with increasing frequency, particularly when transferring large files.
    I have since abandoned wireless connection, and reverted to my trusty cable. Still, I admit that I'm really curious about the cause of the apparent lack of reliability with my wireless connection. Has it something to do with the airport?

  • HP Photosmart D110 won't connect. Keeps saying cannot find printer

    I'm sorry if someone have posted this before but I don't know how to explain my problem. The printer was working fine the first few weeks we got it and now, it's becoming a hassle especially when I need to print review sheets for class in the morning and the printer won't print.
    First, the printer is always offline. I go to Device Manager to re-enable it and it stil says it's offline, but sometimes come back after I restart the computer. This is a hassle to have to restart the computer every time but it never used to do that until recently.
    Then, after all that, it still won't print. The documents pend but won't print. I got so irritated I uninstalled the drivers because I thought I might've downloaded the wrong one. The HP website has D110 a and D110 b, why it's like that, I am not sure, but the fact that I downloaded both and they are the same file name, sort of makes me think that they are the same drivers. 
    Now when I install either driver, and it gets to the part where it asks you to check the IP on the printer, every time I enter the IP, it keeps saying it can't find my printer when it IS the right IP address. I even printed that network page just to make sure I wasn't typing the numbers wrong.
    Now I am stick with no printer to use and I'm really frustrated.. because I thought wireless printers were supposed to just work, not give so many problems.
    Sorry if I seem angry, but today, I was supposed to be studying all day, instead, I wasted an hour trying to figure this out and came up with no solutions so far.
    Thank you!

    I'm having the same issue with windows 7 on a dell laptop. I'm using the printer wirelessly and have lost connection and have had to reinstall the driver multiple times. I get the printer is offline message and cannot print to it. At the same time, I can access the print on my mac and there are no issues with printing or scanning. Is there a driver update for windows 7 that will fix this issue?

    you have definitely tried the correct steps, all you would need to do now is a back up & restore to factory settings. If after that the issue remains then you would most likely need a replacement unit.

  • "There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may have been lost

    Hi,
    While trying to save an Excel or (less frequently) Word document, employees at my company have been seeing the error, "There has been a network or
    file permission error. The network connection may have been lost."  This is more common when they are connected through the VPN, but it also occurs locally.
    The employees all have Win 7 Pro laptops and the file server is Win Server 2008 R2.  I have found suggestions that a Windows update is the cause, but the articles on that all limit it to Server 2003.  Others have suggested setting the program to
    save a local copy of remote files; however, while the setting exists in Word, it does not exist in Excel.
    If anybody has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    Hi，
    So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
    Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
    Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers. 
    if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

  • When I updated my Mac, it won't connect to the internet when I've closed all Safari windows. I have to restart the computer every time to make it work.

    Every time I update my Mac different problems occur. This time when I got an update notification, I went ahead and updated what it wanted. Now when I'm done browsing the internet and close the windows and try to open a new one, it says the internet isn't working. I checked the network diagnostics and it says everything is working fine. I've noticed I have to restart my computer every time to get it the internet to work now. This never happened before I did the update.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Boot in safe mode. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all, perhaps including wireless networking on certain Macs. If you usually connect to the Internet via WiFi, and it doesn’t work in safe mode, connect using an Ethernet cable. If you can’t do that, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and perform a safe login, as follows: Enter your credentials at the login screen, then hold down the shift key and click the “Log in” button. Keep holding the key until the menu bar appears. In this mode, your login items, among other things, won’t load.
    In safe mode, launch Safari and test. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot (if you booted in safe mode) or log out/log in (if you performed a safe login) as usual.

  • HT1430 My iPad isn't getting connection to internet.  It just suddenly stopped!  It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up.  Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).

    My iPad isn't getting connection to internet.  It just suddenly stopped!  It says it is connected to WiFi but it just keeps spinning and nothing will come up.  Have tried rebooting my router and iPad (my other computer is connected just fine).

    Try turning WiFi off on the iPad, then reset it again, turn WiFi on again and join your network again if necessary. Or go to Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Forget this network. Reset your iPad and then join your network again. Or - settings>General>Reset>Reset network settings. Reset the iPad, then try to join your network again.

  • Everytime I turn on Outlook, it kills my internet connection and I have to reboot the router

    As the title says, each time I turn on Outlook with Office 365, it kills my internet connection and I have to reboot the router. I can still login to the router admin and do a soft reboot. This kills the internet for all the computers on my network as well. 
    The weird exception to this is when I'm connected to my work VPN, then everything is fine.  Also, should be noted, it never did this at first...then started doing it randomly and stopped after a while...now a few months later, it started doing it agian.
    Is there some sort of weird port forwarding I should be using?
    I'm running through an Exchange server.

    Router is a D-Link 857 - HD Media Router 3000..running latest firmware.
    Everything is setup standard. No firewalls except the standard Windows firewall and the router is a really basic config.
    Please any insight would be great!

    Hello AyaTheBookWorm,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    I can definitely understand how this is frustrating, I would feel the same way.  To troubleshoot this issue please see the steps below, as well as checking out the Wireless Diagnostics.
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.
    If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.
    See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.

  • HP Laserjet 100 MFP 175nw, Printer loses connection and have to reboot to print

    This is super annoying. 
    Had this printer for a few months and it worked great. Changed my wireless password a couple weeks ago and now the dang thing has to be rebooted almost everytime it needs to print. 
    Today I did a fresh install on my iMac for it and after a couple hours it went right back to being unavailable. Help... before I smash it! 
    To note: I downloaded the driver install pkg fresh today from HPs site and used that for installation so the firmware can't be out of date.

    So you changed the password on your router and when you need to print you have to reboot the router.   What is the status of the printer when this occurs?   Does the printer have a valid IP address at the time?  Does the router see the printers IP address?

  • "The Pure Networks Platform Service Is Not Running" every time I print

    I will be glad to follow-up with all the gory details about my system, but I thought I'd throw out a general question first.  I just installed a network printer to my NM Network.  It's a Lexmark 543dn connected via ethernet.  Everything prints just fine, the Map shows it as a Network Printer,etc..
    The only problem is that every time I print, the Platform Service stops running and I get a general Windows Error message asking whether I want to "report" the error.  You know the one...you have to click SEND or DO NOT SEND.   The Platform can be easily restarted without problems.  Is this a common problem..with hopefully a common solution?
    FWIW, it becomes a pain when the kids have to come fetch me when the error message comes up; they think they did something wrong.   Plus, if I'm not mistaken they need to restart the platform service if they want to continue printing to the sole color laser in the house.
