Printer and laptop

So now am I able to print anything from my laptop to my printer? Do I have to have a USB cord hooked up to them both? It's wireless.

Hi cbeard3,
In regards to the issue you are having with printing wirelessly, I would like to see if the printer is configured properly for wireless.  Please try the following:
1.  Put your mouse in the top right corner and click Settings.
2.  Click Control Panel.
3.  Click Hardware and Sound.
4.  Click Devices and Printers.
5.  Right click the PIXMA MG5320 Printer and click Printer Properties.
6.  Click the Ports tab.
7.  Make sure that the checkmark is on the port that starts with CNBJNP, then click OK and try to print.
If the CNBJNP port was already selected please try right clicking the PIXMA MG5320 printer and click See Whats Printing.  When the print queue opens, click Printer and remove the checkmark on Use Printer Offline by clicking on it, then try printing again.
Regarding the issue with flash, the printer should not interfere with this.  There may be something else on your computer preventing you from updating Flash.  I would recommend checking with your Internet provider for assistance with this.

  • Problem with printer and laptop wireless connectio...

    Hi    In the last 2 months we have found that the only way we can get the wireless printer and the laptop to connect to the wireless hub is by switching off the hub and restarting it.  The printer will then print and the laptop connect to the internet but once either is switched off again the only way we can get the hub to 'talk' to them is by switching off the hub.  I have been in touch with BT advisors this morning but not really got anywhere.  The chap was going to change the BT frequency but we have a Hub 3 so I don't think this is relevant.  Apparently we have got a good broadband speed.  I am not technical in any way but logic dictates it must be a hub problem.  Has anyone had similar problems - or any ideas.   The main tower PC has not had problems so far but we have noticed that short videos have been so slow that at times they freeze. Again this is very recent.   Many thanks.

    Hi Bob - not sure where Neener went nor if his issue was sorted out, but I'm stuck in the same place.  The manual for the printer tells me to select a WLAN network and put the printer in SES/WPS/AAOS mode - which I did.  Then it, in theory, went looking wirelessly for my Airporter Extreme.  It thought for 3 minutes and then came back with "No Access Point".  The AE is working fine, but the printer can't find it. 
    And another weird issue is that when I installed the drivers from the CD that came with the printer, it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer - nor does it show up as an option to add the printer.  It's just  non-existent.
    Here are the details....
    Printer: Brother HL-3070cl
    MacbookPro: 10.6.7
    Router: Airport Extreme
    Wireless mode: Create a wireless network
    Wireless security: WPA2 Personal (is that ok even if this is for a business?)
    Connect using: ethernet
    Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    Any help you can offer me would be SO appreciated.  I'm pulling my hair out and have been trying to figure this out for nearly 2 hours now!!
    THanks,

  • My hp printer and laptop are connected but it will not print...even though it shows hooked up...

    HP Officejet J4500  using Windows 7   64-bit
    Has printed before but it has been months....I am sure that updates have come thru during this time.
    The printer and my laptop do not seem to recognize each other.  My husband can print with no problem using his laptop with windows XP.  Help!

    It sounds like the issue is isolated to the Windows 7 system since it works on a different computer.
    Try using the Print and Scan Doctor as it is designed to resolve many printing issues.  The site provides some information about how to use the tool.
    If it finds any errors, it will usually attempt to fix them.  If it is unable to fix the error, it should give some information about the problem and how to fix it. 
    Let me know what happens.

  • How to add a new printer and laptop to my home network

    Greetings, Need tech help. I have 2 issues going on.
    First I am trying to add a 2nd Printer to my home network. I was given an HP 4050N printer. I want to add it to my home network. My main printer is an HP Photosmart 8450. It is attached to my desktop thro a Belkin USB 4 port switch and then to my Desktop PC via a USB port.  THe HP 4050N has both parrallel and serial connectors...no USB ports.  WHat is the recommended method to hook up. I also have an actiontec wireless router.  Initially I had 2 separate desktop units talking to my main printer, but noe the second desktop has it's own printer. 
    Second, I recently acquired an HP Elite Book 2540P laptop. I got it to power make my SOlidworks and Autocad software portable.  I would like to add this to my home network but dont know if wireless of serial hookup is the best way to go.
    I hope this makes sense.  I am open to reconfiguring everything if it makes sense.  My internet and TV are driven through the Action-tec router.
    I would appreciate some guidance.

  • HP Officejet pro 8610 and laptop wont communicat​e

    Trying to setup new printer to print wirelessly.  Printer and laptop are both connected to the same wireless device but the laptop cant find the printer.  Disabled firewall and tried all the things listed under troubleshooting.  Any help would be appreciated

    It could be that the 'same wireless device' you mentioned in your post is preventing the communication.  Some routers segment the network and isolate clients.  It the device you are using is doing that the laptop will not see the printer.   If you reply back please give us the brand and model of the wireless device you are using to connect the printer to the laptop.
    You could try the Print and Scan Doctor. It might be able to check the laptop for settings that get in the way.

  • Problem with Dell Printer and Wireless Router

    I have a new Linksys Wireless Router (3100) and it handles 3 laptops, PS3 fine.  But I have a Dell 715w network printer (also new).  I have it set up on the network, and it works fine upon setup.  The problem is the printer does not work all the time.  Sometimes I can get an error message, sometimes it says it is busy, and other times it literally takes a long time to load and then does not print.  I usually can get it to work again by rebooting and turning off the router and printer and laptops, but this hit or miss is very annoying and I never know when it will do this again, usually after a week or two. I wonder if the problem is that the 3 laptops all have different OS - XP, Vista and Windows 7.  Dell tech support won't help as they say they don't support routers, but I am wondering whether the problem is ina s etting or if this printer is malfunctioning.  any help would be appreciated

    Yes. You have to key-in the IP address to the printer.
    Basically, if the printer is set to obtain IP address from the router, it will be provided with a random IP or any IP available for the next device that will connect, on this issue, your printer. So there's no permanent IP address for the printer, making it a little hard to find at times. Compare it with the a static IP, your computer can easily map it since it doesn't change.

  • Why does my network stop recognizing my printer and telling me it is offline.

    I got a photosmart 6510 printer and it loses wifi connectivity.  in order to get it working again i have to toggle the wifi on and off on the printer.  It only maintains a connection for a short time and i have to toggle the wifi on and off again.  The connectivity seems to only be lost between the printer and laptop (running windows 7)  or the printer and phone (android ginger bread).  I have a ps3 on the same network and connectivity to that device is never interrupted. The ps3 connection  works even when my computer and phone report the printer is offline.  I have enabled full trust to my computer and phone and even established a static IP address for the printer.   The update IP address application can't even find the printer when i input its static IP address.  please someone help.

    Thanks for your help.
    I was able to find the address line and I did find the screen that allows a person to change the static IP address.
    I decided not to mess with the static IP address.
    Instead I moved my G router, which is in the basement to another location.
    I went 10 days w/out losing printer connection to the network for 10 days.
    I did not use the printer during those 10 days.
    Right now, I am leaving the printer off until I used it.
    I see no reason to leave the printer on for an extended period, if I'm not printing.
    If I lose connection, the next time I try to print, then I will move the printer to the first floor.
    Otherwise I will buy an N router.
    I've been losing connection from my pc to the G router more often lately,
    so maybe the router is failing.

  • How can I change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit.  No password was given with the iBook?  We need to put in printer and other software.  Help, we can use the laptop without changing the password.

      How can we change the password in the iBook donated to our nonprofit?  No password was given with the iBook and every time we try to install items, the password window pops up.  We need to put in printer and other software.  Help! We can use the laptop without changing the password.

    If you did not get an OS X install-restore DVD with the computer you may need
    to buy one from somewhere, and you may be lucky to get a retail OS X 10.5.x
    version. The original grey-label install set of software and OS X it shipped with
    likely would be an older system than Leopard 10.5. Last versions of G4 Mac, &
    G5, shipped with a Tiger 10.4 system; so did early Intel-based Mac. Grey discs
    which accompanied other computer build models generally do not interchange.
    The last OS X version a PowerPC architecture can use, if supported, is 10.5.8.
    A PPC processor at 867MHz & faster should be able to run OS X 10.5 Leopard.
    {With the correct disc installer, you can use it to change a password and other
    things including re-install, and perform disk utility functions, etc.}
    There is a chance you may be able to get a white-label Replacement 10.4 DVD
    or Replacement 10.5 DVD from AppleCare or the online Apple Store (800myapple)
    from a Mac OS X system specialist; these have been available yet hard to get
    as not all persons involved with them seem to know if they still exist until someone
    is asking. These aren't retail stock, are special discs for computers who could use
    a system later than original old discs; these are complete install discs not for one
    specific series of Mac. Generally they'd work in supported PowerPC G4/G5; but
    do not replace specialized original install DVD, such as an early Intel mac requires.
    You'd need to have a serial number of the computer, and a method of payment
    when seeking some replacement system media from Applecare or Apple sales
    and these discs are not available in a retail store. The original Retail discs are
    labeled differently and shipped in a retail box with a big X on the front. Other
    sources for retail 10.4 Tiger or 10.5 Leopard may be online via amazon sellers
    or computer resellers who handle repaired Macs. Avoid mystery grey label ones
    that were intended to be sold and kept with their original computer kits.
    Good luck!

    If you have not already done so, your chances will really improve if you....
    1) Connect the printer to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme
    2) Download and install Bonjour Print Services for Windows on the PC

    I am trying to add a wireless printer to my MacBook Pro.  It was working properly until we had to get a new modem.  I have gone through the steps with the printer customer service rep, and it was working properly for one day.  When I booted up the next morning, the printer was no longer "connected".  It will work if I have the printer and computer connected, but I much prefer the wireless capability.  Suggestions? The printer is a Brother MFC7860DW.  The other laptop in the house (Dell) can print wirelessly so I don't think it's an issue with the modem or the printer.
