Printer b109n - error message "cannot be contacted over the network" ?

I just had a new modem installed so i am guessing the above message may mean i need to reconnect printer to wifi ?
Please can someone explain how to - fix step by step ?
Sorry and thanks
paul

Yup, you need to re-connect. You did not tell me what operating system you are using so I'll give you some generic instructions:
1. Go to the Hewlett-Packard folder > [your printer model] > Printer Setup and Software.
2. Run that program and choose "Wireless" as the connection type.
3. Make sure that a USB cable is NOT connected to the printer when you start the software.
4. The software will instruct you to connect a USB cable temporarily part-way through the process. Follow its directions.

Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network

My wireless printing chooses when it wants to work, and right now it's really acting up. It is connected wirelessly, it is the default printer, but after troubleshooting it is telling me "Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network." What can I do to get printing again?

Hello featherfamily,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not connecting with a wireless connection.
Please click on the following link that deals with when the 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Error message when using Photoshop over the network

I am currently working with Apple Aperture. My library is on my computer and references files that are saved over a network on a hard drive connected to another computer. I open an image that is within Aperture having set my primary editor as Photoshop. This creates an automatic duplicate of the image within Aperture so that any changes I make in Photoshop will be a second image and will not affect the original. Normally what is supposed to happen is that once I have made my change in Photoshop, I hit Apple+S to save and then it will update within Aperture. However, when I hit to save, I get the following error message:
Could not save "file.tiff" because the file is already in use or was left open.
I know that on my computer and the other computer I connect to that is definitely not open. Not even in Finder. I tried closing Aperture and then saving and I still get the error message. I am not sure what is going on and why I can't save it. Any ideas?

Hi,
Try to save in different location and different format not in tiff like PSD. close the photoshop and repon once and open PSD file and save as into tiff in different location.
just try with this...

Error Message:"Cannot find or create the font 'WP-MathA'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." Who can help me solve this problem?

Some of the pdf files I work with (receive) come up with a comment: “Cannot find or create the font ‘WP-MathA’. Some characters may not display or print correctly.” Who can help me solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for your time.

Hello Anubha,
I am having a similar problem on my machine. I was using Word 2008 and I created a PDF inside Word.
I am opening the file on the system itself and I am running Windows 8.1. I am using Version 11 of Reader.
When the PDF I created (my resume) attempts to open, it says: cannot find or create the file Times, Bold. Some characters may not display or print correctly.
However, the entire Reader keeps freezing and will not allow me to open or test print the document. Also, it is not displaying any of the Bold Times New Roman Print. Can you please help? Thanks.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

TS1398 error message says " unable to join the network"

I have tried turning the wifi on and off, turning the ipod on and off, the forget this network option, and reset all network connections. It still gives me an error message. I have 5 other devices that are working fine. My network is showing full bars, for some reason the ipod itself just will not let me join my network ...it WAS already joined, and in the middle of browsing online it kicked me off and will not let me back on.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Sending text messages to pc's over the network

OK, so I know the system administrators where I work can send me text messages over their network directly to my computer. How do you do this over the Linksys wireless network? (Directly - as in not using an IM program). Thanks!

My XP printer no longer works with snow leopard over the network

My XP networked printer (Samsung 4200) no longer works with snow leopard after Mac update. Printer hooked up to XP and can access it through network.
When I print it requests that I to authenticate the printer with a user name and password but it's not password protected. I don't have a password, but I tried all the usuals anyways.
It worked fine a couple days ago, and I've tried everything since. I've reset my printers, turned off both computers. Plugged the printer directly into the Mac - didn't work at first but downloaded a new driver Splix - 2 (Samsung doesn't make an OS X driver for this printer) and got it working. Reinstalled Bonjour on the PC, which can't even see a printer now. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
THanks in advance.

Connecting from a Mac to Windows is password protected. If you tried to connect to a shared folder on Windows you would also be prompted to enter your Windows credentials. So when you do print next time, enter your Windows user details and password. If XP has no password then set one - it is bad practise to have a Windows computer without a password. And updates to Mac OS X expect you to have one set in the Windows computer.
If for some reason you don't want to set a password in XP then enable the Guest account and you can use this on the Mac when you get the prompt (either select Guest or type it in).

Can't restore wireless printing to my Photosmart 3310; "cannot be contacted over network"

Previously I could print wirelessly, and now I can't.
Control panel shows items in queue, printing, then unspecified "error."
No recent power outages, changes (except the New Year), and my laptop still has Internet wirelessly.
I can't print a Test Page via laptop, and I've tried lots of fixes to no avail. [i.e. System restore. Unplugging laptop, printer, router. HP Print & Scan Dr. Replaced ink cartridges. Printed a Network Config Page which identifies no issues that I can discern; shows "connected." Turned off Firewall & tried to print; no luck. Windows Updater is up-to-date and apparently so are drivers. Tried changing last digits of IP addresses of Port, Printer & Laptop so they'd match, but that didn't work.] However, running my Control Panel's Troubleshooter, it reports "Problems found: Printer HP Photosmart 3300 series cannot be contacted over the network."
I used the printer's "HP Wireless Setup Wizard" to reestablish a network connection, and success was reported -- says connected to network. But I still can't print wirelessly.
Incidentally, today I discovered I can send a Fax but cannot receive one. Relevant? Advice welcomed!

Hello DeanJean,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns. Please verify your operating system on your computer. Click here to find out: Windows.
Since the Print Queue is stating a unspecified "error", I will suggest following this YouTube video on Restarting the Print Spooler. Please restart the computer after performing this step.
Next, try adding a new Port:
1) Go into Devices and Printers on your computer
2) Right click on your printer
3) Select printer properties
4) Select ports tab at the very top
5) Click on add a port, select Standard TCP/IP port, then select new port
6) Type in your IP address from your printer, click next, then finish
7) Click apply, then OK
8) Try to Print a document
If these steps don't resolve your issue, then please try a USB cord to test the connection.
Please follow this HP document on Troubleshooting Fax Transmission and Reception Issues. This document will provide troubleshooting steps to fix why you are unable to receive a fax.
Let me know if these documents don't resolve your issue, as I will assist you further.

Error message: 'Cannot reorder photos'.

Normally I do not have a problem reordering photos in LR4.
However with my last import from a folder in Pictures on my Imac's hard drive I am being shown the following error message,
'Cannot reorder photos. The currently selected scource does not support custom order.'
My Imac works on OS X version 10. 6.8, with a 500GB hard drive of which 186GB is free.
Please advise

I believe that you can re-order photos in collections (but not smart collections), or if you have a single folder selected.
If you have multiple folders selected, or a smart collection selected, or a keyword selected, or "All Photographs" selected (and probably a couple of other items selected), you cannot re-order photos.

-Reece,
We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?
