Printer unavailable on wireless network map

My D110 is discovered but cannot be placed on network map. . . When installing software for wireless detection of printer, it cannot find it even with address of printer provided within software. I tried unistalling and re-installing but the unistall app aborts??? Any ideas? The wireless network test reports no problems found and yet the software isn't completely installed (Solution Center indicates incomplete installation) . . . I spent an hour chat with HP tech with no results!! Help!

So the Wireless Network Test shows it is connected to your network and no problems? In that case, the issue is in your printer or router.
What router? What operating system? If Windows, Download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

Hi Kappy,
Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
Appreciate any help you can provide.

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

Can I connect a wireless printer to two wireless networks

I searched and couldn't find an answer to this exact situation. The answers to similar questions didn't seem to work.
Can we share a wireless printer over two wireless networks without adding hardware or changing the wiring or doing complicated software modifications?
Here is my set-up:
Cable Modem> Linksys Wireless Router “N” on the first floor > older AirPort Extreme “G” via ethernet cable on second floor > Laser Printer via USB Cable on the second floor, plus an AirPort Express to extend the area on the second floor. We have 2 MacBooks and 1 MacBookPro that connect to the internet via either of 2 wireless networks. Generally, for better connection, you choose “N” if you are on the first floor and “G” for the second floor.
Currently, if you want to print to the USB Printer, you just select it in the print dialog box. It does not matter if you are on Network “N” or Network “G.”
We just added a new wireless Printer that’s on the first floor. (No, I didn't read the directions, the printer screen said if there is a W?? button on your router, press it. I did and it automatically connected to the “N” network. It also has its own email address for printing without a computer, but that still doesn't solve this question.)
If you want to print to this printer, you must first change the computer’s AirPort setting to join the “N” network. If you don't, you still get the print dialog box, but eventually you will notice that nothing happens. The document just sits in the Printer’s queue.
Is there a way to get a computer on the “G” network to find the wireless printer on the “N” network without first changing networks?
Remember, it automatically finds the USB printer that is plugged into the “G” network router.

It used to be that if you wanted to wirelessly extend the range of a network, you'd have to set up a WDS. (WDS = Wireless Distribution System.) There was no "Extend a wireless network" option and no "Allow this network to be extended" checkbox—you'd have to fill out lots of WDS information yourself. It was sort of a pain.
Then, with the 802.11n AirPorts, Apple introduced the "Extend a wireless network" option, greatly simplifying the setup process. It accomplishes the same thing as a WDS, but it's easier to set up and has less overhead. However, it can only be used if every AirPort in the wireless network supports 802.11n.
Your Express may support 802.11n, but your Extreme is older and does not. So "Extend a wireless network" won't work for your network. That's why you got errors when you set the Express's "Wireless Mode" option to "Extend a wireless network." Instead, you'll have to do things the old-fashioned way* and configure the Extreme and the Express to be part of a WDS. Your network will still work as desired: the Express will rebroadcast the signal from the Extreme, and clients will connect to whichever station has the stronger signal. It's just that you'll be using the older WDS technology instead of the newer "Extend a wireless network" feature.
"Join a wireless network" is something different entirely. You'd use it if you wanted to connect to a network but not rebroadcast it. This could be useful when, for instance, your main router isn't an AirPort but you want to use AirTunes. In your case, however, this option wouldn't be very useful.
Look at [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2588489] for more information.
*Actually, the old-fashioned way would be to use modems. Or to forget about the internet and send snail mail instead.

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers

How do I make my HP P2055dn printer into a wireless network printer for 5 computers? Windows versions on computers used are XP,Vista & 7.
Thanks
Leon

Unplug the USB cable from the printer. Plug your printer into your wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
Next, on each computer, get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page. Install it and select "Network" installation when it asks.

How to connect an Ethernet laser printer to a wireless network?

hi, I have three computers on an Airport Xpress wireless network. I have an (non-USB) HP Laserjet 4100 that has a network card (10/100tx HP Jetdirect 600N). How do I connect this printer to my network? Can I wire it directly to one of my computers using a standard ethernet cable? or do I have to set up a hub? Any insight most appreciated!

There's another way to do it...
I have a Linksys wireless router for my home network (and internet) and have my HP LaserJet 4000 hooked up to it, and all my computers can print to it. However, it does require a Windows computer for set-up, because HP makes the set-up utility for Windows only. (I set it up with my Intel Mac running Win)
Follow these instructions:

Hope it helps.

Can't connect my P1102w printer to my wireless network (using Mac OS 10.6)

I have a vanilla home wireless network (D-Link to a cable modem), and a MacMini running OS 10.6.8. My Mac laptop and 4th. Gen iPad work seamlessly. But my hours-long attempt to connect my new HP P1102w to the network has been totally frustrating, despite close study of the pdf documentation, the printer's self-test/Device configuration sheet, browsing this forum, watching a slew of YouTube/HP videos, and following all manner of directions.
The only consolation is the printer works fine on its USB connection.
Here are some issues I've encountered that have stopped me in my tracks:
Carefully following both the pdf instructions and HP's online how-to video, I get through Step 6 w/ no problemn. but then I go to Step 7, which says:
" Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure , select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button."
Problem is there's nothing of the kind in that window. All I see is a status of the Wireless: enable or disabled (depending on a choice). And even if I try selecting Enabled, it switches right back to Disabled. Aside: I note the printed instructions show a copyright date of 2011. That's ancient history in the CPU world.
Other issues: The only IP address I can find for the printer is the IPv4 address, but that's only for Direct Print Configuration. Is that the IP address I'm looking for?
The printer's hardward address, I assume, is its MAC ? Boy, I could sure use clearer use of language here.
So, needless to add, I'm stuck. It seems it should be THAT hard, but so far nothing I've been able to find on HP support or the forums seems to help. Thanks for any advice you can provide.
PS. I'd hate to have to return this printer because I'm a two decade HP printer lover, but, alas, I may have to if I can't find a solution.

Hi @Northwest-John,
I see by your post that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network. I can help you.
Update the printer's firmware by the USB connection just to make sure that isn't causing any issues with the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS) not allowing the proper changes. HP LaserJet P1102w Firmware Update Utility.
The newest version is 20130703, which you can compare by printing the configuration page.
Power cycle the router and restart the Mac.
The printer won't recognize the network name if there usually is any symbols or spaces in the network name.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server (EWS) won't open in other browsers. Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
(hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac.
Go to the Apple, system preferences, print and fax.
Double click on the P1102w.
Open the utility.
Click printer setup.
Click HTML config.
This should open the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Click the Networking tab.
Click Wireless from the list on the left.
(Click Enable if you have this option)
Under Communication Mode , click Infrastructure.
Select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list and then click the << button so the network name moves over to other box.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication , click WEP, WPA/WPA2 or open . Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Make sure you select either hexadecimal or alpha depending on your password. (very important)
Apply the settings.
In the confirmation box, (changes have been saved) click OK.
You should get a solid blue light on the printer shortly.
Then all we have to do is delete the USB driver and add the network driver.
Click on the Apple.
Click system preferences.
Click the print and fax icon.
Highlight the printer and click on the - sign to delete the printer. (USB driver)
Disconnect the USB cable.
Then click the + sign and select the printer from the list and click add. (P1102w bonjour)
Test the printer.
If you have any issues with the HTML config opening then do the following steps:
Close any applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, computer, MAC harddrive, Library, Printers, HP, LaserJet, click on folder for your printer, click on EWS browser or HTML config, click the Networking tab, click wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected) Apply settings.
Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer.
Let me know if you are still having issues with filling out the EWS for the printer.
Have a nice day!

Windows 7 does not detect & install HP Colorlaser 2600n printer connected to wireless network

I have an HP Colorlaser 2600n printer connected to a router set up for my wireless network. I have tried to installed the printer through the wireless network, as I have done with other computers, but my new HP dv7 laptop does not find the printer in the network. Just to check, I installed the printer directly to the laptop through an usb connection and it work, but nothing I have tried has work to access the printer through the wireless network. If I use HP installation CD and check network installation, the setup program does find the printer, but once I finished, the printer does not appear in "printer and devices". Any suggestion on how to solve this situation? Thank you in advance for your help!!

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886

When I try to install my Brother MFC-8810DW printer through a wireless network I get error:-30886. The computer recognizes the printer, and asks me to identify the software, but I get the same error message repeatedly.

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

What would cause an IMAC to recognize one printer on a wireless network and not recognize another printer?

What would cause an IMAC to recognize one printer on a wireless network and not another printer? I have a smaller HP and a an HP 4600. The computer recognizes the smaller printer but not the bigger printer even though the printer in Settings and shows up on Settings, but I cannot print to it.

Do you have a printer driver installed for it? When you open the Print dialog have you selected it from the Printer dropdown menu at the top of the dialog?
Do you know that the printer is working and is properly installed (Added?)

How to Connect a USB-to-Wireless printer to a Wireless Network without a PC

Some printers from HP do not have a Wireless Setup Wizard built into the front panel for connecting to a network. These models install to a computer through a USB connection and the software then sends the wireless information across the USB cable to the printer. However, you may not always have a computer present and still need to connect these printers to a wireless network. You can use a wireless device, such as an iPad, to do this. For the example below I have used an iPad and a Deskjet 3510 series printer.
The first step is to make sure your printer is broadcasting a network (Ad-Hoc). To do this, turn the printer on and press the wireless button or turn wireless off, then on in the Setup menu. Connect the iPad (or other wireless device) to the wireless signal being broadcast by the printer.
Once the iPad is connected to the printer as a network connection, open the Web Browser on the iPad. Type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and go to that site. The printer's status page should load and look similar to the image below.
Click on the Network tab at the top of the Status page. You may get a prompt warning about being redirected to an HTTPS site. Click Ok on the message box to continue. When you click OK, you may get a warning regarding the certificate or server identity. Select the option that lets you continue. The wording will vary from browser to browser, but there should be an option to continue anyway.
Network status page should now be loaded at this point. Select Wireless Setup Wizard to start the wireless network setup and click Next.
When next is selected, it should list the available wireless networks. Select your network from this list and select next. When the network is selected, it should be highlighted.
Enter the network’s password, if any, and select next.
A message should be received indicating the name and if security is enabled. The message below that should indicate the settings were saved successfully. If it says the settings were saved successfully with an error, the network setup is more than likely functioning. Select Ok at the bottom.
After selecting OK, select Status to verify the printer is connected successfully. It may take a few minutes for the wireless light on the printer to stop flashing. Once it is a solid blue, the printer should be on the network and functioning.
Once this is completed, then you will be able to reconnect to your normal wireless signal (Wireless Router) for internet access. Now both the iPad and printer are on the same Home Network.

How to get How do I get my Vista PC to See my Photosmart 5515 Printer via my wireless network

I have recently purchased a Photosmart 5515 (B111h) printer and have followed the setup instructions to the letter. The printer is now connected to the wireless network with an IP address of 192.168.0.4. Nomatter what I try I cannot get my PC or laptop to see the printer, either using hp setup software, hp network diagnostics or via web browser using the printers ip address. I can use my pc to get the router to ping the printer sucessfuly. In desparation i set up my XP netbook and eventually got it to browse the printers built in homepage but i could not connect via hp software. After running the hp network diagnostics it told me that the correct software was not installed. After some further effort i eventually ended up downloding 5515b drivers and now the netbook is sucessfully sending to the printer, but I still can not get the two Vista machines to even see the printer. All the machines are running Norton internet security 2012, but turning the firewalls of does not make any difference to the Vista machines. I have repeatedly run the HP network diagnostics, this has not found the printer in (in the "HP printers found on your network" box) but does show it (in the newtwork devices list) as a device on the network with the IP address above and the name HPEC9A76C7CAB. I have also tried to brows the printers internal web page at the IP address but I get nothing, the page is in a constant state of update (No "page not found message", but no page either). Eventually (over a few min) it stop trying to update, the page remains blank but a "HP" logo appears in the browsers page tab. I have a samsung laser on the wireless network and this behaves perfectly and can easily be browsed. I also had a Kodak, which I removed to be replaced by the HP which also behaved perfectly for nearly 2 years. I am using a SKY router, which had been in use for several years now - without any problems. So the current state of play is on the network I have A Vista PC that can't see the printer A Vista Laptop that can't see the printer Two iPads that can acces AirPrint over the network without problems An XP netbook that can access the printer without problems (other than the issues at setup) Two windows 7 laptops which I am not even going to attempt to tackle until the Vista machines are up and printing. Any help from the Experts would be much appreciated. Thanks Thanks

OK, well, I don't suppose it could have been that easy
I am thinking it has something to do with your router. It is supplied by your ISP, right? Try restarting the router by pulling its power plug momentarily. Make sure the printer re-connects (with a proper IP address) after the router restarts.
Can you check to see if the firmware in the router is up to date?

To test the connection I have set up eprinting and his works fine, so the printer must be connected to my route to be able to connect to the internet. I have run the printers wireless newtork test report and everything has come out "PASS"
I have tried turning off my personal firewall (Norton Internet Security 2012), but this has made no difference.
I have run the HP network diagnostics, this has not found the printer in (in the "HP printers found on your network" box) but does show it (in the newtwork devices list) as a device on the network with the IP address above and the name HPEC9A76C7CAB.

I have also tried connecting the printer via USB. This worked fine, but when I tried to use the setup software to change the USB connection to a wireless one, it identified the the printer was already connected to my wireless network, but again could not find it.
I am pulling my hair out here (and i have not got much to spare) can anyone help me out with a solution?
Thanks

HI,
I do not have a "Devices and Printers" option when I click on the start, The only thing I have close to that is the "Settings" then the "Printers" option but that behaves nothing like you describe from step 2 onewards.
I did have a play with the printers though and tried to add a preinter manually. When I chose the option of the new printer to be wireless it found the printer and I was able to install a driver for it from the CD. So now I have the printer working..... BUT the HP 5510 family printer software still does not work, I still can not connect it to the printer and can not install the scanner.
If I run HP home diagnostics It still can not find the printer on the network. However (now that I have installed the printer manually) the HP printer diagnostics finds the printer straight away and tells me there are no problems with it!!.
This is a far from satifactory situation. I may have the printer working (not exactly sure how I managed this when the HP software still can not see it) but I have no scanner or access to the HP tools.
Has anyone got any Idea what is going on or how to fix it?

Is there any way to print directly to a wireless printer without a wireless network?

My daughter is in the dorms at a university that doesn't allow individual wireless networks and I am trying to figure out if I can print directly from her MacBook Pro to the HP Photosmart Premier C310A. Can anyone help?

I am currently using a USB connection, but that keeps me tethered to the printer. Which is something I would like to avoid. I was looking at creating an ad hoc network with the MacBook, but I don't know Apple products well enough.
Is there a way to wirelessly print to the printer without an internet connection? Will an ad hoc network work? Can an ad hoc network even be done with a MacBook?
