Power off printer and router. Power on router and wait 3 mins. Power on printer and see if it connects to your router with a valid IP address.

  • Printer suddenly unable to connect to network (invalid password)

    I've had this printer for half a year and haven't had any issues with network connection till recently. For some reason my printer will no longer connect to our network. I've typed in the correct password multiple times but it always comes up with an invalid WPA passphrase.
    My laptop and other devices have no problems connecting to the internet. The printer recognizes the wireless network but says the passphrase is "invalid". I printed the diagnostic and it says, "The WPA security passphrase configured on your HP printer does not match your wireless router setting". The solution they gave was "Run the wirless Setup Wizard to re-enter your wireless network WPA security passphrase."
    The solution does not help. 
    Some of the results from the printed diagnostic test:
    Connectivity> connected = Not Run
    Disconnect count total= 70
    Network> Network SSID Found= PASS
    Settings> Printer settings consistent with wireless router settings, no filtering, channel = Not Run  /  Security = FAIL 
    Current Configuration> Authentication Type = WPA- PSK / Encryption= Automatic (AES or TKIP)
    We are running on a 802.11 network, channel 11 (I don't really know what this means..but maybe it's helpful information?)
    If anyone has some insights that would be greatly appreciated!!

    My printer mysteriously started working again as well. Nothing has changed on my equipment. What gives?
    As for the "Great" support from HP with the Static IP address, I don't see any replies from HP on this thread helping us out.

  • Unable to print suddenly !

    Hello, I have an Emac operating on 10.3.5 and I have an Epsom 870 printer. I have had no problems over the last 3 years with this printer and this computer until now. When I click 'Edit print' in any programme I get the printing page but no response when I click 'print', except in Word which says 'there is a problem with the current printer'. I have checked all the obvious, connections, selection of printer in system preferences etc and everything is OK. Also, there is communication with the printer because the Print utility will work; Suggestions please. Please note there is limited Epsom Help support for this printer using OSX, but until now it has always worked fine. thanks, ginny

    Ginny-
    Unable to print suddenly !
    It is not a good idea to print suddenly -- you should always print slowly and carefully so as not to scare the printer.
    Under 10.4, you can reset the print system, but I don't think 10.3 supports that.
    The backup plan when things went wrong in 10.3 was to delete your printer and re-setup (the same printer) in the Add-a-Printer window.

    Error 303 means you need to replace the hdd. If you are in warranty HP will send a replacement. If you are not in warranty you can use a retail SATA laptop hdd. Install the new drive, boot with Recovery Disks to restore the laptop to factory setup.

    Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
    Bruce's  instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
    - delete any previously set up printers
    - scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
    - remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
    - reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
    - print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
    - got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
    - go to the sys pref > print scan
    - add the HP 8000 printer
    - click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
    - click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
    - finish (this page may freeze up.  close the browser)
    - go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
    - go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x).  Check that the SSID is your network
    - go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
    - try printing something to your printer.  It might take a little time the first print.

    I use 3 shared printers with my MacBook Pro: a Brother HL1440 (shared from my Mac Mini), a Brother MFC420CN connected to my router, and an HP PhotoSmart A620 shared from my Buffalo TeraStation. My MBP is networked wirelessly to an Airport Extreme 802.11n base station.
    I've tried resetting the printing system, clearing caches, multiple restarts, and running FixAirportPrinter (which shows an empty list). The only thing that changed was installing VMware 2.0 today.

    Hello Mike:
    A place to start would be to uninstall the VMware application you mention (I have no clue what it does as I do not use it). Third party applications sometimes do not play well with OS X. If you do not want to do that, contact the software developer.

  • I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S.  Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls? HELP!

    I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S. 
    I have spent 2 hour-long sessions with technical support and although they were very nice, it is still not fixed.
    When I try to call the phone from a land line, it doesn't ring AND it doesn't recognize that a call is coming in (no missed call) BUT if I leave a message, it records it.
    Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls?
    HELP!

        MarketingMary,
    I am truly sorry to hear that your are unable to receive calls on your device. Thank you tbo27 for providing great troubleshooting steps. Making sure call forwarding is not active by dial *73 is great. Have you already reset network settings also? http://vz.to/RTz70g Are you able to make calls fine? Make sure Do not Disturb is not active. Settings>Do Not Disturb

  • HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

    I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet.  I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
    The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
    The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
    When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address.  It is the only thing it discovers.
    I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network"  Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
    This just cycles with no progress.  I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV.  No change.
    I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer.  It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
    I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
    This question was solved.

    I am having a similar problem as well.  The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility.  However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized.  I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck.  As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
    To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues.  Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!
