Problems connecting a Officejet 7310 wirelessly and via ethernet cable

My printer (a Officejet 7310) is connected to two PC's via a router and ethernet cable. I now wish to install a laptop as well.
I know the lap top is communicating with the router wirelessly, but I cannot get the laptop to recognise that there is a printer installed.
I have tried connecting the printer directly (via an Ethernet cable) to the laptop and this works fine. I have downloaded the latest software for the 7310 and utilised both options (wireless and cable).
Any help would be most appreciated.
This question was solved.

OK, great, I have a much better understanding now. Thanks.
Do you have an antivirus program? Does it have a firewall? If so, disable it to test.
Print a network test from the front of the printer to obtain its IP address. Type that IP address into a browser to see if you can contact the printer.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

Wirelessly
Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable??? My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.
iOS: AirPrint 101

Tried updating my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6 wirelessly and via USB cable.Both don't seem to work.Does anyone know what is the problem?

Connecting a Laptop to Airport Express via Ethernet Cable

I have an old PowerBook G3 and I do not have a wireless card for it. My plan was to connect it, via Ethernet cable to my airport express which is on my home wireless network (DSL to Mac Mini to AirPort Express via built-in AirPort).
My question is can I make this work? After buying the Ethernet cord, all my reading of the AirPort Express manual seems to suggest that the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express is to only be used as an input port, not as an output. Is this correct?
If I cannot connect my laptop this way, could anyone suggest a wireless card that is compatible with this slightly antiquated, yet very useful machine?

Hello Brian Hunt1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I have an old PowerBook G3 and I do not have a wireless card for it. My plan was to connect it, via Ethernet cable to my airport express which is on my home wireless network (DSL to Mac Mini to AirPort Express via built-in AirPort).
Unfortunately, the network configuration your describing, where you would use OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share the Mac Mini's wired Internet connection wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), won't work.
If I cannot connect my laptop this way, could anyone suggest a wireless card that is compatible with this slightly antiquated, yet very useful machine?
Only the "Pismo" PowerBook G3 is capable of using the original AirPort card. If you have this model, then the following DIY instructions will show you how to install it.
If this isn't your model, then check out the following vendor offerings:

Connecting TC directly to my macbook via ethernet cable

Folks,
I've looked at a number of posts on this topic but I must be missing a step because it is not working. Simply want to do file transfer via ethernet.
so... I connect a ethernet cable from the TC to my Macbook - what do I do next?

dpm,
This works for me when I have to temporarily connect the TC to my Mac via ethernet.
*Create An “Ethernet Only” Location*
While you are physically connected to the Time Capsule via ethernet you may still be experiencing slow data transfer speeds because your Airport network is still active and taking priority.
Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>) NOT to the WAN port (wheel icon). Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Next, go to System Prefs --> Network.
At the top of the window note what “Location” you are currently using, as you will need to return to this setting later.
Now, change “Location” to “Edit Locations”.
Click the “+” button and create a new location named “Ethernet Only”.
Click “Done”.
In the Services Pane on the left, eliminate all other services using the “-” button leaving “Ethernet” only. If you choose to leave other services listed then al the very least move Ethernet to the top of the list using the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom and "Set Service Order".
Verify that “Configure” says “Using DHCP”.
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
You should be seeing an assigned IP Address and the Status should say “Connected”. The dot beside “Ethernet” should be green.
Now begin your backup or transfer of files.
You should still have internet access during this period.
Once the backup/transfer is complete, remember to change the Network Prefs “Location” back to “Automatic”, or whatever setting it had originally been, to restore Airport connectivity.
Let us know if this resolves your issue.
Cheers!

Problem for connecting my computer to my wireless router via ethernet cable

I have a wireles router model BEFW11S4. I have three computers connected to the router by wireless. All these connection work well. I have also a computer connected to the same router via an ethernet cable. This connection does not work, I cannot access internet with that computer. What can I do to correct the problem?

First off, you need to ascertain if the network card in the computer that is not working is capable of sending and receiving legitimate packets.
Best thing to do is try and connect this machine directly to your Internet Service Provider modem and see if it works.
If it doesn't, first you need to check if your computer is capable of acquiring an IP address automatically (See below for details).
If it is setup to acquire an IP address automatically, but still does not work you either need to find someone who knows how to test network hardware for you or you could try installing a different network card in your computer.
There are 2 ways a computer can receive an IP address. A typical way is for your router to provide one to the workstation using something called DHCP. The other method requires you to know the exact IP addressing required on your LAN such that your workstation when manually configured with an IP address knows where to send it's packets to get out to the Internet.
To check if the computer that does not work is configured to "automatically" receive an IP address from your router, do the following:
1. click on Start
2. click on Control Panel
3. double-click on Network Connections
4. right single-click on "Local Area Connection"
5. click on Properties
6. Scroll down the list until you see "Internet Protocol (TCPIP)"
and then double-click that item
7. Make sure "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically" are checked.
This setting allows the workstation to send a broadcast message looking for a DHCP server which can assign an IP address to the workstation. Your router typically would have a DHCP server configured for providing IP addresses. The typical home-based routers can be configured to run a DHCP server or not. Chances are that your wireless computers are automatically acquiring an IP address from your router and therefore it should work on Ethernet connections as well.
It is possible for something to be not working inside your router that would prevent the DHCP server from distributing IP addresses only on the Ethernet connections. If this is the case you would have to acquire a new router.
There is more that can be looked at, but this is where you need to start.

Error in trying to connect E1000 router to Dell Desktop via ethernet cable.

Connected my Dell laptop to the E1000 using the enclosed disk, easy install and no problems with wireless connection. Created a USB via the install disk to connect the Dell desktop (XP pro SP3). When running installing received error pop up "installation not compete" contact Linksys support for assistance. Disabled all internet connections and tried a manual installation but failed. Any suggestions? or should I just purchase a wireless USB addapter? Thanks for your assistance.

Just connect the computer with an ethernet cable to the router and that's it. No installation necessary.

I am having difficulty connecting apple tv to our network via ethernet cable.

I am trying to connect to an apple tv on our office network. It seems to pick up the network configuration but doesnt connect when I turn on home sharing. We have a proxy server for connections to the internet so I dont know whether this is the show stopper or something else like incorrect setting of date and time. I thought I could set up and use the apple tv without a connection to the internet. Any advice would be appreciated. If an internet connection is absolutely necessary may be I could set up an Airport that talks to our proxy server.

COMPUTERS SETTINGS means AppleTV is not accessing the Internet network.
By "changing the lead" I assume you mean you've made certain you are using a proven / known working Ethernet cable and you've also attempted, unsucessfully, to connect via WiFi ?
If those things are true it sounds like you need to consult the school network administrator for onsite assistance.
I ran into this problem once but did not have time to work through it. I will duplicate portions of your problem today to see if I can better resolve your question

Help connecting 2TB Time Capsule to iMac via ethernet cable only

I have an iMac running OS X Version 10.9.3, and a 2 TB Time Capsule, which at our last residence I used both as my wireless router and Time Machine backup (via wi-fi). We recently moved and got Comcast, which provided us with a very, very fast router. As a result, I would like to start using the Time Capsule only as a Time Machine backup, preferably via an ethernet cable connection. I tried connecting the Time Capsule to the iMac via an ethernet cable with no joy. When I did, it seemed to bring back my old wireless network, which I don't want. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Is it something specific about the Comcast modem/router that makes it so I have to plug an ethernet cable into it too (as opposed to just running an ethernet cable directly from my iMac to the Time Capsule, which is what I assumed was possible and was hoping to do)?
Nothing specific about the Comcast modem/router, but definitely something specific about the Time Capsule in that it needs to connect to the Comcast modem/router over a wired connection to allow backups to occur over the Comcast wireless network. As we have said, the Time Capsule must connect to the Comcast modem/router using an Ethernet cable, as you see illustrated in the TC Setup Guide.
This solution doesn't really work, as our computer/TC is upstairs and the Comcast modem/router is downstairs.
Ethernet cabling can be run 300+ feet, or about 100 meters with virtually no signal loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule anywhere that you want. My Time Capsule is located in a closet, about 60-70 feet away from the main router.
is there a way that I can use the TC as an upstairs wifi extender and still do my Time Machine back-ups wirelessly?
Yes. When the TC connects to the Comcast modem/router using an Ethernet connection, you could use the wireless capability of the TC to create a wireless network with the same wireless network name and password as the Comcast network. Then, you will have the same network upstairs and downstairs with much greater range.
You will be able to backup to the TC using wireless....or, if you prefer a much faster connection....connect an Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <--> ports on the TC.
For example, let's say that you are making the first backup from your Mac to the TC when everything on the Mac is copied over to the TC. Typically, this might take 8-10 hours on average using wireless, but Ethernet would require only about 2-3 hours.
Once you have the first complete backup done, you could then perform subsequent backups over wireless, since these will only take a few minutes each time that the Mac backs up with only the changes that have occurred since the last backup.

How do I connect a printer to my TimeCapsule via ethernet cable?

My printer doesn't have a USB connection, nor does it have built in wireless. Just ethernet. How would I connect it? Just plugging it in doesn't seem to work.

I have the feeling TC is not prepared for such an action, those eth ports are for connecting other macs / PCs via eth cable, i.e. those not having wl. Printing is via USB, as long as I correctly remember the instructions. I have a similar Apple device, the Airport Extreme, which is identical to TC, just it has no disk inside.
It is not clear why you purchased such a printer before clarifying connection method.
Perhaps others may jump in for help.

Want to connect MacBook Pro to the internet via ethernet cable for the first time?

I Plugg the cable for Ethernet> Then I type my IP adress> don't know what to type in these blanks:
Subnet Mask, Router
What DNS?
I want to plug the cable for Ethernet then see the internet work?
=

We cannot answer your questions.. and the method looks wrong.. why are you doing it manually.. just use dhcp and see if it works.
There is hardly a modem or router out there that doesn't have dhcp setup for automatic setups.
If it is manual then there is no way we can give you the values..
They are determined 100% by the network you plug the computer into.. and the setting of that network.
Tell us more if you supply modem router.. and ISP info and why it is not working with dhcp we might be able to help further.

Connecting to Airport Express via Ethernet Cable

Dear Apple Support Community,
My setup at home is such that all my devices are in such close proximity to the Airport Express, and therefore I connect everything to the Airport Express via ethernet cables (NAS, Apple TV, PS 3).
The final step in my network setup would be to connect my Macbook to the Airport Express to connect to the internet using the Ethernet Cables, instead of using the wireless connection - because my Macbook is positioned right next to the Airport Express.
However, I am struggling to get the Macbook to connect to the Internet via the Ethernet Cable through the airport express. Is there a special way to set this up if this can be done. I know Wireless would be the answer, but the problem is, when I download movies etc, I write the files directly onto the NAS which happens a lot quicker than doing so via WiFi.
I hope the above question makes sense.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Regards
ST

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
I suspect a problem with your router. Try changing the security. First use no security as a test.
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
