Photosmart d110a printer not found

photosmart d110a on a mac with os lion via wireless connection
The printer had been working fine until today. We updated to LION in December but printed fine until today...
I went to support for help. So I went and downloaded latest software and drivers on computer and even used a USB cable so I could check for firmware updates on the printer itself; it said it had latest updates already.
So I go to the HP Installer download (from what was downloaded from updates) and commence to update and configure the printer. My mac can't find the printer still so I use a USB cable to connect them (following directions as I am prompted). Message says 'software is successfully installed. You are now ready to set up your device and software.' I disconnect USB cable.
I click continue and my device is not listed. I even go back to HP site and follow instructions on how to enter the IP manually and still it will not connect.
So I plug the USB back in to mac and it shows my device. I click configure...says it is compatible with wireless networks and I check off box that says "configure your device for a wireless netwk".
Next window says 'application has detected your device is currently connected to the following wireless netwk..." I confirm the wireless settings as correct and say to keep the settings and click continue.
Next window says 'HP device is now configured correctly' and the IP address listed matches the one on my wireless netwk test print pages that I ran and printed earlier. (I turned off printer twice and reran the wireless netwk test and it prints out 'congratulations on successful setup of your wireless printer', shows 'excellent' signal quality and the same info each time...same IP address, etc) **Bottom of this window says "IMPORTANT: please disconnect the USB cable connected to your device now." So I do and click continue.
POP UP says 'device not found on netwk'...'wireless netwk settings were successfully downloaded to your device. However, your Mac was unable to locate the device on the netwk. Please make sure that : Mac is connected to device wired or wireless, device is connected to wireless netwk....'
Not sure if this is worth noting but while the printer is connected via USB, it will print.
Please help! I am sooo confused!!!

Hi MiltonLafer,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand you cannot install your HP Photosmart D110a with Windows 7. I am happy to help you! I have a couple of questions for you:
How is your printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Are you using the CD for the install or the online download?
If you are using the CD, I would recommend to try the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows instead, to see if that works.
Hope this helps you, and have a great day!

  • HP Photosmart 7510 series printer (Printer not found)

    My HP Photosmart 7510 printer was operating normal.  Then when I tried to scan to the computer I got the following "The HP Photosmart series was not found."  Then I received the following "The device you are trying to access has generated an error; Please ensure that the device has been properly confiqured."  All of the other functions of my printer are working normally.  It prints from the computer, it FAXs correctly (both transmitting and receiving) and copies.  I have not made a changes to the system.  What must I do to get the scanning function back?

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @trebor-340-ste ,
    I saw your post about the scanning issue you are facing with your Photosmart 7510 and would like to try and help out! I thank you for letting me know you can copy and print!
    Could you please respond with which OS you are running and I will research this for you.
    In the meantime, please try a power reset and ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly. If you are connected wireless on ethernet, also unplug your router for a minute before starting up the printer and computer.
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Thank you

  • Photosmart D110a will not re-install

    I am running a desktop computer 32 bit Vista operating system. The printer was linked to the desktop via a USB cable and toy laptop via a wireless connection. The printer suddenly disappeared from my printer list and by the time I noticed it, it was too late to do a system restore. Since then I've tried everything to reinstall it, using both my install disk and the latest software from HP, both the install software and the driver. I've cleaned everyting off my computer, both files and registry enries with no success.
    When I try to do a wireless connection, the install program detects the printer, but later on in the process it can't find it, even when I give it the IP address.
    When I try a USB install, the driver installation fails. However, if I just connect the printer via USB cable, the driver loads, but there is no printer configured on my system. I've tried almost everything on the forum suggestions with no luck.

    Hi @harveyclyde,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Photosmart D110a will not re-install on Windows Vista. I am sorry to hear this but happy to help!
    Please take a look through this guide, 'Printer Not Found' Error Message Displays for the HP Photosmart (D110a and D110b) e-All-in-One Prin.... This is for the wireless connection.
    For the USB connection, I would follow this guide, Windows: 'Device Setup Failed to Complete' or 'Unknown Device' Message Displays on the Computer Duri....
    We will start with these guides, and see what happens.
    Hope to hear from you soon!

  • Printer not found all of a sudden

    I've been merrily printing away from safari to my wireless HP Photosmart C4700 printer for a few months utilizing HD Print Magic when all of a sudden today it's not working.  When I click print in safari to print a page, it says printer not found.  Normally I click print in safari and it sends it through print magic.  I wondered if print magic was seeing the printer, so I opened print magic and indeed the printer was there.  Somehow safari is not seeing my printer.   Does anyone know how to rectify  this?  Help would be appreciated!!

    If it is a Safari thing only, maybe resetting Safari as described below will help. The first thing that I would try if you haven't done so already is to simply restart your iPad. These are all sort of generic type things but you can give them a shot ....
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Then restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. Try to print again.
    Try this as well. Close Safari and all open apps. If Safari is open - you have to tap the home button before you close the apps. Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar. Tap and hold down on any app icon in the task bar until it wiggles. Then tap the minus signs in the corner of the app icons to close them all. Then restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut down. To power up, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears. See if you can print now.
    I guess you could also try rebooting your router - sometimes that can fix wireless issues that crop up. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
    You can also reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds untilt the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider. See if you can print now.

  • Hp 5535 will not scan, error message printer not found

    I have a HP Envy 5535. I have only been able to scan one time with it. I scanned 22 documents, after running HP Scan Doc 4.4. Each time the HP Scan Doc states that everything is OK, yet as soon as I try to do even a test scan, I get the error message "Printer not found." I have also tried to run this scan with my McAfee virus firewall off, and it still doesn't work. I have also identified it on McAfee as part of my network.
    This question was solved.

    Hi @prazdancr,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I am sorry that you cannot scan with your HP Envy 5535, but I am happy to help!
    For further assistance I will need to know:
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
    If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
    If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide. A 'The computer is not responding' Error Message Displays During Scanning.

  • I can no longer print using wifi. I have to connect a USB cable to print. Setup and pref show that I should be able to print wireless but I keep getting printer not found msg when trying.

    I can no longer print via wifi. I could at one time but now I have to connect to printer with USB. All settings appear correct in printer and macbook. Sys pref shows printer with green light next to idle. Sending a print prompt results in "searching for printer, printer not found, ensure printer is turned on". I have reinstalled printer in my print list and reinstalled printer software on macbook. Kodak 5250 AiO printer shows it's configured for and on wifi channel. I go online with laptop using wireless but cannot print. Help!

    If you know the IP address of the printer, then you can check if there is a working path between the Mac and printer. This can be done using Network Utility or a web browser.
    If you open Network Utility and select the Ping tab, you can enter the IP address of the Kodak and then press the Ping button. If there is a working connection then you should get a reply to each packet sent.
    With the web browser, many devices have a built-in web server so you can type the IP address of the printer into the browser and if there is a working connection then you will open the printers web page.
    So, are you able to confirm you have a working connection between the Mac and printer?

  • Printer not found but my 5510 is connected to the network

    Help, my 5510 B111a printer was working fine then suddenly it stopped finding my computer to scan to, and my printed couldn't find it to print to.
    I have recently changed my broadband to BT Infinitty 2, but it was working after I changed.
    I have restored the the printer to factory settings and reinstalled the new router and it is showing as being connected to the network and shows the IP address.
    I re-installed the driver on my laptop but when it tries to add it to  the network it comes up as 'printer not found'. I entered the IP adress it gave me when I connected it to the network but it still comes up as not found.
    Going a bit mad here now, can anyone help please?

    Sorry that you are having a problem with the printer not being found. 
    Try to disable the firewall and anti-virus. 
    Also, plug in a USB cable and see if it gets recognized. If so, then it is something on the network that is blocking the printer ports.

  • [HP Photosmart D110a] Printer won't connect to network

    Printer: HP Photosmart D110a
    Operating system: Mac OSX 10.6.8
    I'm living in a dorm room and trying to wirelessly connect my printer to my computer. I can't connect my printer to my university's network because it's protected. Instead I've been connecting to my printer's SSID network. I go into Settings --> Wireless --> Wireless Settings --> Wireless Setup Wizard --> the printer scans for routers, and then the SSID name comes up in a list underneath my university's closed network. It's called HPD110a.7809C6. 
    I connect to it, it says it's connected, but then the Wireless light keeps flashing blue. I go back to the Wireless tab and it shows that it's connecting, connecting, connecting... and then there's no connection.
    My printer was working a little while ago. It's been tempermental and has occasionally worked. But since the last time my roommate used it and turned it off, it's refused to connect to that SSID network and has thus refused to work. I think I solved the connectivity issue I had before by connecting it to the SSID network, but now it won't connect.
    Things I've tried to combat this issue:
    Restarted the printer, both by turning it off and turning it on manually, as well as pulling the plug out of the back while it was on (I've read in my search for an answer for this problem that doing that can help some issues?) and unplugging it while it was off and then restarting it
    Continuously tried to reconnect to the SSID network
    Tried to enter the printer's IP in my internet browser's address bar; nothing came up, since it isn't connected
    Turned off the wireless in the Wireless Settings menu, then turned it back on a half hour later, then waited to see if it'd reconnect
    Reset printer drivers
    Updated my ePrint software and installed all availible HP product updates
    I've printed out the Network Test multiple times, and each time it's said everything passes, but that I've had numerous disconnects and that the connection is low
    I even moved a music player that was near my printer, thinking that maybe the metal was messing up the connection somehow (last resort)
    Changed the empty ink cartridge (last resort)
    I haven't tried restarting my computer, but I don't think that's what the problem is. My roommate's computer can't connect to the printer either (she's running OSX 10.8). 
    I have the printer in my Printer list twice in two seperate ways: One version is connected through the IP address, and the other is an option that appeared once while I was connected to the SSID network and just became a new printer. That one includes the scan option, but the first one doesn't. When I try to print something, the first printer says "Network host [IP ADDRESS] is busy.. will retry in 5/10/20/etc seconds..." and the second printer says "Printer offline."
    The same thing happens with both whether I've gone into my Airport settings in the upper right and connected to the printer as a Device or not. It still shows my printer as a Device that I connect to, even though the printer itself says it's offline.
    Additional informatiom:
    I don't have a USB cable for my printer, so I haven't tried that yet.
    At one point during all the re-setting and restarting, I saw the printer's IP address appear in the Wireless menu as the connected network, but it still wouldn't print at that time.
    That's all the information I can think of in relation to this issue; if anyone needs to know anything else, let me know. Hopefully it's enough, and hopefully someone will have the answer to my problem.
    Sorry if anything is confusing or frantic; I've been dealing with this for a few days now, and I've searched all the help forums I could and looked through as many HP documents as possible, but nothing has changed the situation. This is basically my last hope.

    After just switching from Cable to FIOS, I had to get my HP C4580 wireless printer back online too.
    What was important was that the Printer settings knew about the IP and port changes that are impacted from the new network and router from Verizon.   How to do this is in your HP printer network setup manual and handled by their driver when its installed on the PC.
    If all fails, try hooking up to your printer via an USB cable and start from there.  Make sure everything works wired before trying again from a wireless setup.  Youll end up with two printers in your Windows Printer choices, one for USB and one for Wireless, but thats no big deal.

  • HP Photosmart d110a driver not installing.

    I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit). and I have a HP Photosmart d110a.
    I've tried installing both the basic driver and the full driver. Both of which give me an error stating "The system cannot find the file specified" which makes no sense seeing as I'm using an installer and it should create any file I need for installing in the first place.
    When trying to wirelessly connect to my printer two options show up (I only have the one Printer) and neither of them work. My Printer's Wireless Network Test prints out perfect. and another laptop has connected and prints just fine.
    I've used CCleaner to fix registry problems. There are none.
    I have multiple entries (21 to be exact) in my device manager of this printer, none of which will be removed or uninstalled. And an entry under imaging devices of the printer that also refuses to be unistalled or removed.
    I've used a Level 4 HP uninstaller program to remove everything and start over but that doesn't seem to have helped either (especially because the entries are still there in device manager.)
    I've literally been working on this problem for days searching for a solution online and nobody can seem to help me. Calling HP Tech support they wanted to charge me $99 to fix it. I could buy a whole new printer for that much. Please help!

    Hello Kyren11, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand that you are having installation issues.  I would like to try and help.
    I would recommend turning off any firewalls and real time scanners you may have running. Once that has been completed, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP photosmart 109a printer - Not printing black ink

    Hi. I am having problems with my HP photosmart 109a printer. It is printing in the other 3 colours but is not printing from the black cartridge. I have tried replacing the black cartridge twice now with 2 brand new cartridges. I have also tried cleaning the ink head. Any idea what else might be wrong or what I might need to do?
    Thanks

    Hi @CWBarr,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your HP Photosmart b109a will not print in black. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help you with this issue!

  • Wireless printer not found on home network

    Help!!!
    I've got an HP Photosmart B110 printer. It connects to my Thomson Gateway router ok and the test report that prints out shows everything as being ok.
    When I log on to the router it shows that it can see the printer
    I'm using both a PC and a laptop, which both have Windows 7. The PC is 32 bit, the laptop is 64 bit. They will print ok when the cable is plugged in but can't get either to work on wireless. I've tried downloading the HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility and it can't find the printer on the network. I've tried giving the printer and static IP address and all the settings on the router seem to be ok and I've run out of ideas
    Can any one suggest anything else to try?

    Thanks very much for all the suggestions. There is good news and bad news!
    I tried most of things posted; I changed the wifi channel to 11, I unistalled the HP software on my laptop, disconnected the dsl cable to the router and then reinstalled the HP software (with my Mcafee firewall disabled) and SUCCESS, the printer worked wirelessly!!
    So then I did it all again on my PC and it also worked.
    I tried restarting my laptop and printer still worked wirelessly
    I tried turning off the printer and put it back on and again it still worked.
    That's the good news.
    Printer, laptop and PC all switched over night, turned them on again today and surprise surprise I can't print wirelessly.
    The printer wireless test report says that it is connected to the router. When I log onto the router (Thompson Gateway) it can see the printer but shows it as being inactive. Is this a printer fault? A router fault? I'v not bothered disabling the router firewall today as I can't see this making any difference but I'm running out of ideas
    Any other suggestions from anyone??!!

  • Ip printer not found

    Hello,
    Just switched to imac from ibm compatible. I use a netgear wireless print server to connect my hp photosmart 2610 printer to my mac and my work ibm machine. When i go through the ip printer set up wizard in system preferences it does not show photosmart 2610 as one of the printers under HP. I set it up as the photosmart 1100 (which is in the wizard) and it prints but not with all the features. So I can obviously connect to the printer no problem but cannot get the mac to see the proper driver etc. Even when I download the driver from HP or from the disk. When I connect it via USB it sees it right away. What do I need to do to get it to work through the wireless print server with the proper driver?
    Thanks for any help offered...

    According to the above article, the correct 3.3 driver was included in your OS. Same with mine, I had to add my HP printer a couple of times in System Preferences to get it right, but once it's right, it will work forever, as I'm sure you know. Give it some time to recognize what you're doing. We become impatient with machines since we know that they're supposed to work, but don't understand why it isn't instantaneous.

  • Photosmart C8100 Printer not answering

    Printer connected via ethernet cable to Apple Timecapsule used wirelessly by 3 Mac mini users in house. It worked well, but after Timecapsule was replaced with newer version, the printer is visible on all mac's, but the message when printing is "The printer is not answering". I have updated software and rebooted severaltimes on all devices.

    Hello JakobBrixD,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Photosmart C8100 is not communicating properly. I will do my best to assist you! What is the operating system on these Mac mini's? Click here to find out. Since you replaced this Apple time capsule, I would start off by power cycling your router, computer and printer:
    1) Turn off your printer
    2) Disconnect the power cord from the back of the router
    3) Restart your computer
    4) Wait less than 60 seconds, plug the power cord back into the router
    5) Turn your printer back on, wait for the computer to turn on
    Once this is complete, try resetting the printing system by following this Apple document here. Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

  • HP Photosmart D110a will not print a complete picture.

    My printer suddenly started cutting the first part of the printed page off.  If it's a picture, the top of the heads will be cut off and there will be empty space at the bottom.  If I continue printing, it just gets worse, i.e. the next picture will cut off the whole head.  I always do a print preview and the page looks fine.  How can I fix this?

    hi there, 
    Sorry to hear you two are having troubles . This article should cover your partial prints. Choose your operating system and try the steps oultined. Let us know if it helps.
