Photosmart Plus B210e Not Found

I have a B210e that is connected wirelessly to my router. All too frequently, the printer cannot be accessed by computers on my home network. This is not OS related, as I have the same issue with OSX 10.6, Windows 7 Pro SP1 64bit, Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit, Windows XP Pro SP3 32bit and openSUSE 12.1 x86_64. The router has a listing for the printer in its client table, every time I investigate this issue. And even when the computers cannot print through the router, they CAN ePrint!! Yes, I have a workaround. But it seems entirely illogical that I cannot print "directly" to the printer, but yet I can ePrint. And it is terribly inconvenient to wait for the timeout to pop up the print error, to then have to open email to ePrint the document!
I have updated firmware and software on all computers, router and B210e. I have uninstalled and reinstalled HP software on at least the XP machine. I have also switched from dynamic IP to static for the printer. I have also tweaked the wireless connection limit on the FIOS Actiontec router to 10 thinking that recent iPod and iPhone WiFi additions to the router client table were maxing this limit. None of these measures has in itself, or in combination, prevented the condition from recurring.
Does anyone have a solution here?

This is not for your exact problem, but: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02986958&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en#N1042
I recommend setting a static IP address for the router using this method:
- 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.
- 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.

Hp photosmart plus b210e wont align

I have a HP Photosmart Plus B210e printer that I havent used in about a year. I just moved an pluged it up and tried to allign the printer. It wouldnt allign so I turned it off and unplugged it for about a minute and plugged it back up. I tried it again and it would go all the way till about 20 seconds was left on the allignment and then it would say failed. Any ideas on why it wont allign or what I need to do?

Hi @JustinKeeter , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing alignment issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend removing the ink cartridges from the printer, and perform a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then suggest following the steps found in this document:

Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

HP Photosmart Plus B210e but cannot get it to connect to my Verizon Fios Router

I have the HP Photosmart Plus B210e but cannot get it to connect to my Verizon Fios Router which is an Actiontex M1424-WR. The printer finds the router name and I enter the WEP key, but it does not connect. The Diagnostics Summary listed No Filtering status as FAIL. I logged into my router and verified that no MAC Filtering is enabled. I have two laptops that have no problem connecting to the router.
This question was solved.

Odd that a hard-reboot was required. THis worked for me, too. Thanks for the post!

Hello Carrie,
How are you adding the printer? And, how are you connected to the printer?

Photosmart Plus B209a not printing yellow

My Photosmart Plus B209a doesn't seem to be printing yellow. First thought was a blockage, but having changed the cartridge as it was low anyway, it's still not printing yellow. Any thoughts?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Problem now solved, just needed to clean the printhead. I always thought the printhead was part of the cartridge, so by changing the cartridge I'd changed the printhead. Turns out that isn't the case!

HP Photosmart Plus will not print black ink

My printer will not print anything in black ink. I just replaced the all 4 ink ink cartridges and on the printer it says that they are all full but it still will not print anything in black ink. All the other ink works fine.
It is an HP Photosmart Plus and the model is B209a. I bought it about 4 months ago.

The troubleshooting steps in this document may help resolve the issue. If not the post here may help.

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 Plus B209 not working no more

My printer worked just fine and then one day it just stopped. I have a wireless router and could print from my laptop one day and then nothing. I've tried all the guided solutions and uninstalled and reinstalled software. An error will pop up that says that the two way connection isn't working. My router is working just fine for my laptop and my kids game systems?? Any suggestions? In my printer menu, I show like 5 printers and one of them was flashing "upgrade" and then that's when all of a sudden I can't print. Doucument failed everytime and now it's failing on start up???

Have you connected the printer to the network? Make sure the printer has a IP ADDRESS or a SSID in its settings.
1. Click Setup
2. Wireless/Network
3. Then click VIEW WIRELESS SUMMARY
If it says, no connection, you will have to go back to the Wireless Setup Wizard, and connect printer to the network.

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

Hp photosmart plus won't print and alignment failed

HP Photosmart Plus stopped printing without any warning bells/error messages. Changed the black ink cartridge, used the clean and allign tools...alignment failed is the error messge I get and it still won't print.

Hi @jmfmls,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Photosmart Plus will not print and the alignment failed. I am happy to help you with these issues!
For further assistance, I will need to know some more information:
The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
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, Ethernet, 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.

Printed photos on my HP Photosmart Plus B210 from my iphone a few times, but now it will not respond

Printed photos on my HP Photosmart Plus B210 from my iphone a few times, but now it will not respond. My phone still recognizes the computer, but nothing happens.

Hi @maka4868
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are no longer able to print to your Photosmart Plus B210 printer from Microsoft Word.
I am presuming that you are using a Mac Operating System as indicated at the top of your post. I have done some research and found Microsoft’s document titled Troubleshooting damaged documents in Word for Mac. It has the steps when printing from Microsoft Word 2008 for Mac.
Please let me know the outcome.

I can not print a PDF from a HP Photosmart Plus B210A. HP says its is a Adobe problem and Adoble says it is not there problem

I am unable to print a PDF file from a HP Photosmart Plus B210a. I contacted HP and they say because the printer does print word docs etc. the printer cannot be the cause of the problem. This is from the Top Level Support team. When contacting Adobe, they say that not being able to print their PDF files is not there problem but HP's.
Another call to HP and they now say it is Apple's problem.
I am in the middle and still can't print a PDF file. When trying to do so, it doesn't print and I receive no error messages. Just nothing. My serial number is
W88110PFZE3 and my operating system is OSX 10.6.8.
Does anyone have a suggestion, or do I just throw out HP?
Thanks, Bob L.

Try opening the PDF in Preview and see if it will print out of it.

HP Photosmart Plus 209a-m install for Windows 8 not working, driver problem?

I am trying to install the driver/software for HP Photosmart Plus 209a-m on my Windows 8 laptop and keep getting "the Wizard has detected a problem with the driver software for the selected printer". Seems like a catch-22 because that's why i'm trying to install it. I have a brand new hard drive (as of today) with nothing else on it except Norton, which i just installed. I shouldn't have corrupted drivers yet. if it's missing, why can't HP get it installed? I've downloaded hppiw and trying to install that. after i get the "problem with the driver" message, i select the option to install the full suite + driver, and it attempts another download (why is it doing that when i already downloaded the software?), then fails with "Your download was cancelled. You can attempt the download again by clicking Retry". Anybody know how to get me out of this loop and get the software installed?

hi,
sometimes norton does block the installation or the drivers download...
i would suggest you to turn of norton and complete the installation and then turn it back on..
