Printer name appearing on my wifi list

Lately, I've seen that my printer's name is appearing on my wifi list. What is the password ? Does it even work? What does it do ?

Sounds like you have Wireless Direct enabled in the printer.   This needs to be disabled and the printers SSID will no longer be visible.  Read your manual to see how this is done.

    Thanks for telling us the printer model. You are right - it isn't in the software available for auto-download from Apple servers.
    Are you using the version 3.66 CAPT driver released in Jun 2014?
    Get it from:

    It is a disk image (.dmg) file. You must double-click to "mount" the disk image, then install using the installer inside that.
    Please let us know if that helps. There are more thing to try.

  • My Mac Mini (Mid 2011) doesn't connect to Time Capsule in 5GHz Network. This WiFi Network don't appear in the WiFi list. What's Wrong?

    My Mac Mini (Mid 2011) doesn't connect to Time Capsule in 5GHz Network. This WiFi Network don't appear in the WiFi list. What's Wrong?

    Oh yes, & 5 GHz doesn't do walls very well at all.
    GHz and Network Range
      The higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter its range. Thus, 2.4 GHz networks cover a substantially larger range than 5 GHz wireless networks. In particular, the higher frequency wireless signals of 5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals, limiting their reach inside homes.

  • HT201077 My name appears on my wife's Photo Streams instead of hers.

    My name appears on my wife Photo Streams instead of hers; is there a fix for this? I have checked all her settings, but found nothing. The only thing we have in common is that we share the same Itunes account on the two devices, but that should not matter, should it?? When she comments on her friends pictures, it looks like I am the person leaving the comment.

  • Artists' name appears twice on alphabetical list?

    Hello I recently ran into a problem with the music app on my phone. I was syncing some songs from iTunes to my phone until I realized one of the artist's name that was already on my phone started appearing twice on the artist alphabetical list. The artist's name starts with the letter 'L' and it shows up on the right spot on the list, but there's also a duplicate on the bottom of the "W" section. Clearly it shouldn't be there since the name starts with an 'L'. I tried deleting the duplicate but when I do, the right one disappears as well. Please help me. I don't know what to do! My iOS and iTunes are updated and there hasn't been this kind of problem before. It's really bothering me. I'm sorry if you don't understand what I'm trying to say. I wish I can show you with pictures but I'm not sure how to upload pictures to here...

    When you say you "installed" Find My iPhone, are you referring to the app of the same name or do you mean you turned on the Find My iPhone service (Settings>icloud)?  If the former, then that doesn't turn on the service and you won't be able to track it.
    iPad name appears twice?  Did you by any chance perform a restore of an iPad backup to a new iPhone, thereby naming the iphone the same as the iPad?

  • I can't get my HP Printer to appear in the installation list

    I have a HP Photosmart 5520 printer that was, until I moved, working fine wirelessly with my Macbook Pro.
    I tried restarting the installation and now, cannot even get my laptop to locate it for the installation. I have tried to do the HP installation download but that can't locate the printer either.
    The printer is saying that it is wirelessly connected to my network though?
    HELP ASAP

    Hi ALV170991:  I understand you are having difficulties connecting to your network since you have moved. Your printer is no  longer on your network and you will need to re establish the network connection. Restart printer, mac and router. Restore network defaults on the printer Touch right arrow on display screen of printer Touch Setup(the wrench) press ok Select wireless press ok Arrow through until you see restore network defaults Select restore defaults press ok As this printer is usb setup of wireless you will need to temporarily connect  the printer with a usb cord to the mac Open Hdd/applications/Hewlett Packard/ device utility/setup assistant Rerun the setup assistant and configure for your network. Once connected to your network you will be prompted to disconnect the  usb and add the printer back into print and scan. If you require further assistance please reply back  http://goo.gl/jSJpog

  • Invalid printer name error (-41002)

    While I use 'Print Report.vi with new HP Deskjet 5443 printer (connected to the computer by USB and configured as a deafault) I get Invalid printer name error (-41002). 
    The application is working properly with other printers.
    The "HP Deskjet 5400 Series" name appears in the printers list that was found by "Get Printers list.vi".
    The printer is printing properly with Word, Excel and other applications.
    I am working with Labview v8.00.

    Hi Alex,
    I have found a corrective action request in our R&D database that addresses this very error occurring, with HP-5940(USB) printers. I plan to add your feedback that it is happening for you as well with the HP 5443.
    Have you tried going to the printers entry in the control panel, getting the printer name there, and then entering that as a string constant into Print Report.vi ? Also, you can try leaving the input terminal empty and it should use the default printer.
    Let me know if either of these works for you.

  • I added 3 contacts and saved on my iphone 5, but do not appear on my list of contacts. the names appear when they text or call me. I have to go search for their messages when i need to call them

    i added 3 contacts and saved on my iphone 5, but do not appear on my list of contacts. the names appear when they text or call me. I have to go search for their messages when i need to call them?

    Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
    If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
    try this:
    open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
    #74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
    this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
    let me know if succeeded!

  • Why does a participant's name who isn't in the meeting appear in the attendee list when entering a token ID code?

    Working with a customer in one of their meeting rooms.  When they dial in and then enter the *65*____# command, a name will appear in the attendee list that is not in the meeting or even signed in.  It's okay when the token ID code is entered a few times by the host does the phantom name go away. 
    And this might be unrelated, but on occasion, if the Connect meeting isn't closed down properly and the host just clicks the red X to close the window, the above mentioned user's desk phone will ring.  Has anyone else seen or heard of something like this?

  • How come a name appears as if its in my contact list but the number isnt?

    i gave my number to someone through facebook and they messaged me on my iphone and there name appeared as if they were already in my contact list, i tried saving the number through text but it wont allow me, is this due to the ios6 upgrade cause i never had that problem before. It use to have a bubble at the top of the screen that said "add contact" but its no longer there...help me..

    The user that you want to reach must be registered to use messages on the device before you can reach them. Even if the user has an iPhone and you are sending the text to that phone number, the user still has to have the messages app activated on their device. The iPad cannot send and receive SMS messages so the messages all have to go through the messages app. It is not setup automatically.
    In the unlikely event that she blocked you - have her check Settings>Messages>Blocked to see if you appear in there on her device.

  • HT2486 When I use my iPhone Siri for dialing, it is better to have the names in the address book listed singularly. But when I want to print envelopes from the address book in a formal manner - "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Is there any way to have both options?

    Only way I can figure is having double entries one with singular + some unique field, (maybe called Siri), then making a Smart group for one or both.

  • Word styles not appearing in Print Document Appearance dialog

    My custom list styles in Style Mapping.dot are not appearing in the Print Document Appearance dialog when I try to map CSS styles to Word styles.
    The styles do appear in the template when I open it in Word. They appear in the styles task pane whether I select "In current document" or "In use" in the Style Pane Options dialog in Word. The styles have the same name (such as "Bullet" or "Number") in Word as the CSS styles in RoboHelp.
    I tried saving Style Mapping.dot as .dotx, thinking that RoboHelp 8 might work better with the current template type, but no help. I tried adding the template to the same folder as the Normal.dotm template is in and opening it there. No improvement.
    Oddly, the built-in Word styles List, List 2, & etc and List Continue and its series appear in the Robo dialog, but the styles List Bullet and others in that series do not appear.
    I suppose I could modify the list styles that do appear in Robo and map them to my CSS list styles, but that feels a bit like a desperate kluge.
    Does anyone know what might be wrong, either with my Word template or with Robo, that might be causing what seem to be perfectly good Word styles to not present themselves for mapping?
    Thanks again,
    John

    Peter,
    I think your discussion of this problem could explain the situation and propose a workaround more simply than it does.
    Based on your article, I assumed that Robo displays only the built in Word list styles such as List and List Continue (since those were the only styles showing up in the style mapping dialog and since your example shows matching a Robo style named List Mapping to a Word built in style named List). I assumed I would have to match my Bullet style to a style named List in Word, and match the indented bullet style to List 2, and so on. The actual situation is that Robo, for some godforsaken reason that only idiots would understand, will not show a Word style if any numbering (bullets or numbers) is applied to it. That is, one does not have to avoid a class of styles called “List styles”, one only has to avoid applying numbering to the styles until later.
    Thus the workaround is to create the word styles (with names that match the Robo styles!) that contain every attribute you need EXCEPT the numbering. That is, I can link Bullet to Bullet and Number to Number and Indented Number to Indented Number, and so on and on, as long as I have all the Word styles in the template with their numbering set to None.
    Then after I generate the document, I can modify the styles to add the appropriate numbering, and voila!
    Currently scrolling the doc & modifying styles. Might be a glimpse of daylight.

  • Printer name "ARCH" not defined - Archive printer

    Hi,
    We are trying to archive some FI objects and store it in the documentum.We have defined the ARCH printer as per SAP guidelines (Device type ARCHLINK, Access method- Archiving Device). While selecting the printer in transaction SARA for the archiving it was giving error message 'Printer name "ARCH" not defined'. The information on the error message is given below. But the printer is already exists in table TSP03. Checked note 639149 authorizations are in place and the printer is already added in content repository thru OAC0. Also note 739828 referred and the prerequisites required are in place. We use ECC 6.0 NW 7.01 release.
    Please provide some inputs, all inputs to solve this issue is welcome.
    Printer name "ARCH" not defined
    Message no. PT001
    Diagnosis
    Table TSP03 contains all valid printer names. The printer name specified here does not exist in the table.
    Procedure
    Enter a valid printer name from table TSP03. You can define new printers using the spool administration function.
    Thanks in advance.
    rgds,
    Shyl

    When we use any other printer which is not defined as Access method -I Archiving device then we are able to select the printer and continue
    Thats the way it should be
    But the intention here is to use the Archiving program (in Device class of SPAD) and continue with Archiving the print lists. So for that we have to make the printer working for Archiving mode
    The spool parameters are for the background job, you cannot use Method I for it, you already set the output method in OAC0 for the print lists.
    Also regarding the selection of 'Send to SAP spool' and 'Print Immediately'' we will be able to select this in the 'Properties' but the error message appears before that and no further selection possible.
    As I mentioned before you need to use a common printer for the background job spool.
    Regards
    Juan
