Photosmart premium all in one and wireless G network

Is the new photosmart premium with built-in Ethernet, WiFi 802.11n backward compatible on b/g wireless network?  Will it connect wirelessly to my Linksys WiFi 802.11g network?
Thanks!

Yes, 802.11n devices, including our two new Photosmart Premium All-In-One printers, are compatible with 802.11g wireless networks.
A bit of background:  the 802.11n standard that was just recently ratified mandates compatibility with 802.11g and 802.11b networks and devices.  You can even mix devices on the same network.  For example, you can setup a 802.11n network and connect both 802.11n and 802.11g devices and have the 802.11n devices run at 802.11n speeds.
You could also connect 802.11b devices to your 802.11n network though from a performance point of view, that isn't recommended.  The presence of any 802.11b devices in vicinity of 802.11g or 802.11n networks degrades those networks.

  • Photosmart premium all in one c309a wireless radio indicater is on, but won't recognize network

    Using a windows 7 Dell laptop with my printer and it's been working fine. Suddenly, my wireless indicator on the printer is on, but I can't get the printer to recognize the network at all, and obviously can't print from my Laptop wirelessly. Works fine by USB.  I have run all of the diagnostics tools on the hp website, to no avail.. The printer is only 18 months old - Hate to toss it out just for this! Any ideas of how to fix this? I've reset the router, hard reset the printer and followed all of the diagnostic steps. I'm baffled!
    This question was solved.

    Yes.  Turn the printer off, hold the # and 6 keys while and a bit after turning it back on.  The printer will reset.  If this does not work you could try the same thing with # and 9 keys, but I doubt it will do any better.

    Hi Tomiwa,
    You cannot print from the iPad to that printer. AirPrint and Bluetooth are completely different.
    There may be apps you can buy that will enable using that printer, but that is not an ideal solution.
    That particular printer has had many bad reviews, and is unreasonably expensive for its features. Considering that you just bought the printer, as well as its lack of AirPrint, I suggest you return it and buy a printer that supports AirPrint.

  • HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a - How to print in black and white

    I want to print a color pdf file in b&w on my HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one c310a printer. When I go to "features" -> color options -> grayscale -> in the drop down box, there is only one choice - "high quality". There's no "black ink only" choice as I have seen in forums on similar printers.

    If you have the full feature drivers installed for this printer and there isn't a Black Ink Only option under Print in Grayscale, then this printer lacks the feature.  Typically the Black Ink Only options follows the drivers for some deskjets and most officejets, because of the office environments they are intended for.  Where as Photosmart printers are more aimed at printing photos.

  • Photosmart Premium All in One Blue screen error B882B1C4

    I have recently purchased a Photosmart Premium All in One C309G machine which is connected via a USB cable to the PC. When I try to use it wirelessly it produces a blue screen with an error message B882B1C4 as soon as I switch on the BT hub. HP haven't been able to sort out the problem as I am now in  receipt of the 4th replacement . Can anyone suggest a solution please?  I have a BT1800HG wireless hub connected with an ethernet cable to my HP PC.

  • Problem Installing HP PhotoSmart Premium All-in-One C309g

    I have a Wireless PhotoSmart Premium All-in-one Printer, model C309g. In the last 4 days, I've had 7 tech calls to HP as I cannot print.  One got me printing temporarily from 2 laptops, but then failed.  Most recently, after the latest tech's assistance, my printer cannot find or connect to my network.  Each tech had their own theory, from a problem w/ router relating to N/G/B speed (???), a firewall blocking communication between printer/laptop, MAC address filter and the router (D-link wireless G/N/B) changes the IP address on the printer.  My case was escalated 2 days ago at HP, but I have not yet heard back from them.  Needless to say, I am not happy w/ HP. 
    I have just enough experience to be dangerous, but I do have some experience and I've learned alot by watching the HP techs.  Anything anyone can suggest would be greatly appreciated! 
    Thanks!

    You are wonderful!!!
    Yes, I know my passphrase.
    There were times when all items PASSED.  Initial setup error msg indicated problem w/ MAC code filtering.  Tech was able to resolve.  At this point, the printer cannot connect to router.  It sees it, asks for passphrase, errors off.   All recent diagnostics run indicate FAIL for  No Filtering. 
    BTW, throughout ALL of this, the Wireless indicator light on the printer is illuminated, wh/ led me to believe I had connectivity all along.
    I was told by tech the router assigns different IP addresses for the printer (dunno why), neither of which will open in explorer.  Tried to set printer manually (subnet mask IP, etc) but it kept going back to auto detect IP. 
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time.  I am still interested in learning more, but I have a previous appt.  If I have NOT taken the product back before I get back on line, I would still be interested in your ideas.  I will check back tomorrow.  Have a wonderful evening!

  • HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are coming out dark, what is happening?

    The photos are dark. I am sending the photos wireless from my Toshiba Netbook NB205-N325BL with Window 7 Starter to my HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are dark when i send the photo from my iPhone 3Gs too. I have changed out the ink cartridges to see if that was the problem since the ink cartridges were low.
    I have recently purchase this printer. I recently had a Photosmart All-in-one C7280 and was very happy with it until it stopped working with Win 7.
    Your help is appreciated.
    thank you,
    Paula

    Laura,
    There are quite a few trouble shooting steps in my [FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658560&tstart=0]. But to cut to the chase, first make sure you can run one of the Apps on the Printer and its getting content. Then make sure the firmware is the latest (Tools->Web->Automatic Updates->Check for Product Updates). Then power cycle everything (Router, Printer, iOS device). If it's still not working, more likely then not its a problem with your wireless router and Bonjour, so post back what brand of router you have, the model, and how your network is configured.
    Just trying to help.

  • Computer loses network connectivi​ty with HP Photosmart Premium All In One C309a software installed

    I am having an issue where my computer (Window XP Media Edition SP3) will loose all network connectivity after some variable amount of time when my HP Photosmart Premium All In One C309a drivers and software are installed. I cannot access the internet or other computers on my network from the affected computer until it is rebooted. When I uninstall the drivers and software, I do not encounter the loss of network connectivty. When I reinstall, the problem starts again. Within 24 hours, I will lose network connectivity requiring a restart. I have the software and drivers installed on another computer running Windows XP Professional SP3 without problems. Both computers are connected via ethernet cable to the network. The printer is connect to the network wirelessly. The printer works fine initiall from the affected computer but then after some variable amount of time computer seems to lose network connectivity. The driver installed is HP Photosmart C309a series (61.81.634.0). Thanks in advanced.

    There are a few things to check.
    First, is your security software getting in the way, here?  Disable it to test.
    Second, have you downloaded this firmware patch for your printer? 
    Third, did you install this software? 
    We'll go from there...

  • Problem with installing Solution Center for a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g

    Hi folks,
    I've searched many threads and found some directions to remedy this, tried them and have had no luck.
    I'm running Windows 7.  All updates are current.  When I bought the printer I installed the software (on Windows 7 OS) from the disc and everything was fine.  Fast forward a year and Solution Center stopped working.
    Uninstalled all HP software to reinstall.  I was only able to reinstall HP Update.  I was able to load the basic drivers for print and scan, but not the entire software suite including Solution Center.  The installation stops abruptly after "installing updates".
    I even downloaded and tried "PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175" and got the same result as the original installation disc.
    What can I do with my printer (HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g)???
    Thanks,
    Alex

  • Printing envelopes on photosmart premium all in one

    I have a new Photosmart  premium all in one printer, and I'm trying to print #10 envelopes.  Sometimes they print and sometimes I get a message that the main paper tray is empty and needs filling even though there are plenty of envelopes remaining.  The last six attempts have failed. Any ideas?

    I will need a little more information in order to help out. Did you also clean the contacts inside the printhead where the ink cartridges are seated? Did you notice any specific ink cartridge leaking? What materials did you use to clean the inside of the machine? When, you had the printhead out, did you take note of the warranty ends date listed on it above the contacts that you cleaned? If that date has not expired, I would contact HP Total care as this is a print quality issue that you are having and would be covered under that printhead's warranty. If not still in warranty, please reply back and provide that warranty date in the post and I can provide further assistance based of the date. At the end of this post, I am including a link to a document that shows the proper materials to use on the printhead when cleaning it and lists the steps on what to clean and what not to touch just so there is a point of reference to that procedure for you to look at the check off what you have attempted. I know that that title of the document is not the error that you are having, but it illustrates that process well. Here is that link.
