Problems with printer and network connectivity

So I've been using an HP B110a photosmart wireless e-all-in-one printer that I got with my macbook pro and at the start, everything worked perfectly in terms of wireless printing, ePrint, and AirPrint. But recently, when I try to print wirelessly, it says the printer is not connected and I also can't find it on the list of nearby printers on the 'add printer' window. I also had problems with printing via ePrint but those have cleared up (I don't know what was wrong but it's fine now). Printing with AirPrint on my iPod touch has stopped working as well because the printer doesn't show up when I search for nearby printers.
Here's what I've checked/tried so far:
All the wireless services are enabled on my printer and my mac
I've reset the printing system on my mac, printer settings to factory defaults
Restarted mac/printer/iPod
Restarted router
Reinstalled HP printing software that came with the printer
All software is up to date
Wireless printing on another windows computer does work
Setting up wireless printing using the HP install disc doesn't work
Trying to add a new printer using the HP software disc that came with the printer is unsuccessful in locating the printer as well.
Printing over USB is problem-free
When I tried restarting the printer/router, I could see the printer for just a few minutes in the 'add printer' list but then it would disappear from the list and the printer would be 'not connected' so I can't print wirelessly.
More info
MacBook Pro (13 inch, early 2011)
Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2)
HP Photosmart e-All-in-One B110a
Router is a Huawei HG556a that I got from Vodafone NZ
Thanks in advance!

N8 Problems with Maps and "Network connection requ...

I started with German O2 as my provider.
So at /Settings/Connectivity/Settings/Destination I found O2 MMS for "WAP services" an O2 Internet for "Internet".
Now I changed my provider and probably deleted both "Access point" Items.
When I'm starting OVI Maps I'll be always asked:
"Network connection required. Define access point to connect?"
And I can choose between:
O2 MMS (already deleted)
and web'n'walk (from t-mobile)
Why I can choose something, I already deleted it?
BTW: Problem exist from first version 011.012 till 013.016

Damn, just tried to post with IE9 but the forum doesn't seem to work on IE9 (final). So this time with Firefox...
@aspergerguy:
I tried both of these settings, non worked in my home network.
Sill I got a solution that works for me altough not everybody will be hapy with it:
I did a soft reset and now the A-GPS works fine again. I did that because i remembered that the problem appeared after I sent my self a config SMS from my service provider with the internet access settings. That somehow messed it up. Still I can't find a difference in the settings for A-GPS, but that doesn't matter to much to me now that it works
Getting all settings right again didn't take as long as finding the error...
The thing that would be nice to get working is push mail on OVI. But that seems to be a longer story

I have problems with mail and network connection?

Problems with printer and external HD connected via Time Capsule with Windo

Hello everyone!
In January I bought an iMac 27 "(OS version: OS X 10.6.2) and a week ago a Time Capsule 1TB.
I connected the iMac and a laptop with Windows XP SP3 both via ethernet to the TC, and to the USB port of the TC a USB hub to which I connected a Canon iP4200 and a LACIE 500GB HARD DISK.
I reformatted the hard disk file system to Lacie Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and installed MacDrive 8 in the laptop.
Now (after formatting the HD), with the iMac everything works: internet connection via ethernet or wireless, printing via ethernet or wireless as well as hard disk connection via ethernet or wireless.
Laptop, instead, is only able to connect to the internet via ethernet or wireless while it isn't able to see and use printer and external hard drive, even though I installed AirPort Utility for Windows!
The laptop also detects the AirPort disk of the TC but if I enter the (correct) password I get an error message!..
Please, somebody help me, I do not know what to do!
Thanks

Problem with printer and laptop wireless connectio...

Hi In the last 2 months we have found that the only way we can get the wireless printer and the laptop to connect to the wireless hub is by switching off the hub and restarting it. The printer will then print and the laptop connect to the internet but once either is switched off again the only way we can get the hub to 'talk' to them is by switching off the hub. I have been in touch with BT advisors this morning but not really got anywhere. The chap was going to change the BT frequency but we have a Hub 3 so I don't think this is relevant. Apparently we have got a good broadband speed. I am not technical in any way but logic dictates it must be a hub problem. Has anyone had similar problems - or any ideas. The main tower PC has not had problems so far but we have noticed that short videos have been so slow that at times they freeze. Again this is very recent. Many thanks.

Hi Bob - not sure where Neener went nor if his issue was sorted out, but I'm stuck in the same place. The manual for the printer tells me to select a WLAN network and put the printer in SES/WPS/AAOS mode - which I did. Then it, in theory, went looking wirelessly for my Airporter Extreme. It thought for 3 minutes and then came back with "No Access Point". The AE is working fine, but the printer can't find it.
And another weird issue is that when I installed the drivers from the CD that came with the printer, it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer - nor does it show up as an option to add the printer. It's just non-existent.
Here are the details....
Printer: Brother HL-3070cl
MacbookPro: 10.6.7
Router: Airport Extreme
Wireless mode: Create a wireless network
Wireless security: WPA2 Personal (is that ok even if this is for a business?)
Connect using: ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Any help you can offer me would be SO appreciated. I'm pulling my hair out and have been trying to figure this out for nearly 2 hours now!!
THanks,
K

Problems with printer and extreme n

Hi I am having problems printing out wirelessly with my airport extreme and my canon pixma ip 4000.
If I have a document in Word (for example) that needs printing I will send 1 copy to print and it will print fine. If I do one then decide I need another I cannot get it to print until I have restarted the base station, restarted my machine and restarted the modem.
If I know that I want more than one copy and change the amount of copies to print out it will print the first page fine then it will half print the second page and then I have to go through the whole rigmarole again!!
I am wanting to print off 10 pages of Thank you cards for my daughters wedding and it is literally driving me insane. For my sanity I am hoping someone has an answer to this problem.
Cheers.

Hi,
I am having the same problem. Apple did a firmware update to the Airport Extreme N after Leopard came out and that seems to have made the problem worse. I've learned that reseting the Airport Extreme in Airport Setup Utility, then unplugging the printer from the network, turning the printer off, turning the printer on, then plugging the printer USB connection back in will reset everything so it works, but it will randomly crash again, sometimes days later, sometimes in the middle of the next job. Does anyone have an explanation???

Homehub 3 problems with wifi and network - please ...

I am hoping someone can help me, as I am struggling to work out why I am getting so many problems with my network at home.
I have BT Infinity, and a Homehub 3A. I have had BT broadband for years. Infinity was added in Feb 2013. The HH3A is the original one supplied to me years ago.
When Infinity was installed I also added a pair of TP Link powerline adapters, to provide a connection to an unmanaged network switch in the lounge.
A rough outline of what I have connected to the router is:
Wired
- Synology NAS Diskstation
- Win7 laptop
- powerline adapter
Wifi
- 3 iphones
- 2 ipads
- Win7 laptop
- 2 Win Vista laptops
Powerline / network switch
- Sonos bridge
- TV
- BluRay
- Vodafone booster
- SkyHD
Recently I am getting a number of different problems:
1) wifi drops to everything connected to the router, at the same time, all blue lights are on the router
I lose wifi connection to the internet, from all devices, at the same time, but also the connection from my laptop to the NAS drops.
2) Anything connected to the Powerline adapter is rarely available
I try and connect to Sonos, or my sky box or the TV, but they aren't connected to the router. The lights on the powerline adapters indicate everything is fine, and the HH3 has all blue lights. But my iphone and laptop cannot find my Sonos. My iphone app cannot find my sky box. And on the TV it says it is not connected to the internet. To solve this problem I have to power cycle the pair of Powerline adapters.
Some observations:
1) these problems are all since Infinity was installed. I have no idea if that is relevant.
2) My NAS Diskstation has a powersave mode. I noticed last night that when I woke it up, the powerline adapters disconnected briefly, before reconnecting. But when they did reconnect I could not access anything connected to them. It was as if the NAS had booted them off the network, and then they couldn't get back on.
3) I run a 10m brand new Cat5e cable from the infinity modem to my router, because the modem is in the garage.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out with this.
Thanks for any help.

If you set the devices on the home hub to always use the same IP address, then that can help.
The problem is that when the DHCP lease expires, the home hub often gives the device a different IP address, and this breaks the port forwarding rules.
Some routers allow you to specify which IP addresses are to be reserved, but the home hub does not.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Printer and Network connection between imac and PC (Wireless)

Hi All
I Have connected successfully to the internet via my imac through airport as has my pc through a wireless network card. But my problem is sharing files, networking between the two computers, it doesn't want to happen!!
And i am unable to print through the imac, the printer is linked up to the PC via a USB. The imac and PC are both connected to a wireless router/modem.
Would like some advise on these issues. Any suggestions welcome!
Cheers.

Everything I know about a mixed Mac/PC network, I learned from iFelix and Joel Shoemaker. They both have fabulous sites that go through the process step-by-painful-step.
As far as the printer sharing goes, it took me a while to get it right, but I ended up using both the files found here and got it to work. Of course it was an HP printer, but there are others located here for other brand printers.
Good luck and let us know how things turn out.

Problems with print and colour profiles etc in CS4

This is driving me round the twist. until recently all was fine, but lately everything seems to have got screwed up. I am trying to print images produced in Corel painter, which have been placed etc into an .ai artboard. (CS4)
No problems until recently, but now there seems nothing I can do to make it print accurately. There are so many colour and print profile choices available, I don't know which to pick as there doesn't seem to be a default.
The screen image adjusts to any profile or colour management settings I change, but the actual print image never bares any relation to that screen image.
Work I have printed previously,( and have not adjusted settings for )without any problems at all.. are now printing inaccurately.
I'm using a Canon MP640 inkjet printer by the way.
The same is true with printing from PS and any other application.
I haven't made colour settings through Bridge for all adobe apps' as none of them so far seem to be accurate.
Even if I saave an image to pdf or jpeg, and print from preview, it still comes out with the colours badly changed.
Please, please help.. I can't work this out and I have got to print!!!

willspring,
Just to make sure: As I understand it, things worked in CS4, not only in earlier versions.
To reset settings in Illy, you may Move the folder, but it may not solve the issue (the simpler but less thorough resetting being to Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup).
Have you made any changes, such as printer driver or whatever, between success and failure?

Problems with internet sharing/network connection/ethernet and XBOX 360

So basically I have a sent my Mac Book Pro 13" (Snow Leopard) away to be fixed, and in return I got a loan Mac Book Pro 15" (Lion). In the two weeks my Mac book was away getting fixed I purchased an XBOX 360, because of my location I am unable to use wireless on my XBOX, so instead I connect the loan Mac Book to the XBOX 360 via network cable.
This worked fine and I could now connect to XBOX Live and be on the Mac Book at the same time.
So today my Mac Book (13") is returned, I connect everything up exactly the same also changing the settings on internet sharing making sure that it can be used to send the connection to other devices via ethernet.
But it just wont connect.
The XBOX doesnt find the connection like it did before, and it also doesnt register on the MAC Book either.
I've tried different cables, the same cable I used where it worked before.
I've tried turning of Virus protection.
Both still at both ends it is not registering a connection, I have used this Mac Book before through a network cable so I dont think there is a problem there, to my knowledge everything is the same as I did on the other Mac Book but this one does work.
Have you any advice or tips on how to get this to work?
Thanks for your time.

What I did to get my network running again (although I still haven't found out why DHCP has stopped working):
1. Open the Control Panel of the computer that's trying to connect to the network (not the computer sharing the internet connection)
2. Go to 'Network' panel, and select the AirPort connection
3. Under the 'TCP/IP' tab, change 'Configure IPv4' pull-down menu from 'Using DHCP' to 'Manually'.
4. Enter an IP address between 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.2.256 (I randomly chose 10.0.2.40), a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and enter 10.0.2.1 in the Router box.
5. Click "Apply now"
The computer should now be connected to the network, and able to access the internet. If not, you may need to manually enter a DNS server - put '4.2.2.1' (or an IP for a DNS server provided by your ISP) into the 'DNS Servers' box.
You need to do that process for each computer you're trying to connect to the shared network, making sure you enter a different IP Address for each.

Problems with graphics and Internet connection - iMac 2011 with Lion

First: sorry about my english... It is terrible! lol
I have an 2011 iMac, purchased in June 2011 in the USA. I brought the iMac to Brazil.
Sometimes when I turn on my iMac, the graphics are horrible and can not connect to the Internet. When this happens, I have to restart the Lion.
Apple introduced the "iMac FW Graphic Update 3.0". The information says clearly that supports Brazilian Portuguese. Butwhen I install, an error appears: "this software is not compatible with your system".
My Lion is in Brazilian Portuguese. Why it is not compatible? How do I install it? How can I solve this problem?
Note: The technical assistance of Apple changed the HD, according to recall made by Apple through the site. The HD is new.
Thank you very much!

Anybody? I'm buying a new network card simply but I'm not sure that it is the network card that is causing the network problems I'm experiencing.
Regards
André

[SOLVED]problem with GNOME and wireless connection

Hi!
I'm new to Arch Linux, and have run into a few problems after installation.
My computer is a HP Pavilion dv6000.
I installed using "xf86-video-nouveau" driver, as i understand this is the best choice for "Nvidia Geforce Go 7400". Is it?
I also installed the complete "gnome", "gnome-extra", "gdm", "gnome-tweak-tool" and "gnome-shell-extensions" packages, but when I boot into gdm login, it automatically starts in fallback mode (the one who has "applications" and "places" in the top panel instead of "activities". What am I doing wrong here?
Btw, when I go to System settings - system info - graphics, there are three lines; "Driver", "Experience", "Forced Fallback Mode". "Driver" line only says driver, and is blank after. "Experience" line says "Fallback". "Forced Fallback Mode" is set to OFF.
Also, I cannot figure out how to get my wireless network set up correctly.
When i open System Settings - Network, I get an error saying System network is not compatible with this version.
Any help with this woill be greatly appreciated!

-dri driver worked. But if the NVIDIA driver works better, I should probably consider using that one.
I tried to install the NVIDIA binary driver, but when i tried to run
# chmod -X NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run
# ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-290.10.run
I got a message telling me to close x first.
How can I do this?
Ho ho ho buddy, I see you're trying to install the nvidia driver from the website. Have another look here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia#Installing
the drivers are available through pacman Installing the driver through pacman will automatically take care of removing things that conflict and installing things you need to ge t the NVIDIA driver to work.
NVIDIA _might_ be better, 3d support in nouveau is still somewhat experimental and nouveau doesn't have all the power management features yet. It'll be something to experiment with. Have a good read of the NVIDIA and NOUVEAU wiki articles

As for the wireless issue, I googled around a bit and found that the driver I need is ilw3945.
I added this to /etc/rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(...ilw3945...)
as it seems the drivers are included in udev.
However, when i try to open System Settings -> Network, it says
The system network services are not compatible with this version.
So I'm getting a little restless to find out what I can do to get the wireless network configurated properly, and how I can do it.
Any ideas?
First I think you've fundamentally misunderstood something. Drivers for linux come in module form, not in DAEMON form. A DAEMON is an application that runs in the background (sound server, network service, etc etc).
ilw3945 would have to be added to your MODULES section in /etc/rc.conf if that is the module you need.
humor me and post the output of this command:

Problem with printing and scanning after updating to Mavericks for my Photosmart C7180

After updating my macbook pro (mid 2009) to Mavericks, I have found that I can only scan to a jpeg2000 and cannot scan as a tiff or jpeg or anyother format. I have followed instructions on troubleshooting and have not been able to make anything work ie scanning from preview etc. I have now uninstalled all the HP software and tried to load it again but software update will not recognise that I do not have the software for my printer. What do I do now?

Hello Cyd23, welcome to the forums!
I understand you're having issues with scanning since you upgraded to Mavericks. I have looked into this concern for you and found that there is no downloadable driver with the full feature software (scanning software) included for the Photosmart C7180 and Mavericks.
However, there are work around options for scanning that may help and work!
Please see this link for the other methods: OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
I hope that helps!
Have a great day

Problem with sound and network card

when my mainboard broke down i received other mainboard - 845PE Max - but i didn't get drives to it. Sometimes sound screeched but it worked fine till I reinstall windows. I had to download drives by Live Update, and after i downloaded it all sound screeched allmost every time, especially when i do something (click, close window etc.). It looks that sound work worse when processor is more busy. I tried to reinstall drives, but i didn't change anything. I have 2.1 speaker system, and it worked fine at old mainboard. I have win XP professional SP2, and it doesn't see any problem, and onboard realtek sound. Anyone know what can be a reason??

I did get some disturbing backround noise after updating latest audiodriver for my 865pe v.1 board (C-Media 9739A) ,from Live update.
Tried some different settings, but did not solve the problem, so I installed my
Creative SB Live 5.1 pci-card with latest drivers, instead of going back to old driver - and now I´m happy again and got better sound as well in my 2.1 speakers.
Try to find an older driver and see if problem go away ( pitty you don´t have the original MB CD drivers ) or buy a “cheap” audio pci-card, which probably will give better sound as well compared to on-board.
( you may have to disable on board sound in bios first )
