Samsung CLX-3305W wireless setup

I can't fathom why they make this so difficult, but there are other accounts online documenting similar problems to what I'm having, yet none with a resolution that works for me.
- Drivers that came on the CD provided are installed
- A Wireless Utility I found in Samsung's Support documents is installed
- I can print and scan with USB attached
- I was successful in getting the printer name ("Portthru") recognized in Airport under Devices, but it still won't print wirelessly
There is a key point that always comes up in Samsung Support as well as in the other cases of people having trouble where you must log-in to Samsung's online utility called SyncThru by entering the printer's IP address into the URL line of your browser so that you can change the printer's IP to a Static one rather than DHCP. Not my router's, the printer's IP.
This is the crux of my problem, I think. I can not log-in to SyncThru. The IP address just brings up a 'page cannot be found' type message.
Also, at one point in the wireless setup assistant there is a button to click "Set IP Address" (for the printer), but it opens a webpage for me where I get the message "No JAVA 2 SDK Standard Edition v 1.4.2 Support for APPLET!!!"
I don't know what to do. In fact, I'm annoyed it's this complicated so at them moment I have uninstalled everything and boxed up the printer.
Please help, I'd actually like to get it working.

You might want to check with Samsung support to verify if your model will work at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme.  If it does, then you will be able to print from your computer using the wireless connection.
There is a good chance that the printer will work because it does appear on Apple's list of compatible models:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
Important Note......If your printer is an All-in-One type device, only the print function will work when the printer is connected to the AriPort Extreme.  Copy, Scan, Maintenance, etc will not be supported.  You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your computer for those features to be available.
If you are asking about printing from an iPad, even if your printer is supported, you will likely not be able to print from the iPad unless you install an App like Print Central on the iPad.

    Hi ryanfromstockbridge,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to add the printer or print to the printer. If you continue to have issues printing to this wireless printer, you may find the information and troubleshooting steps outlined in the following articles helpful:

  • How-To: Setup up the Samsung CLX-3160

    The Samsung CLX-3160 is a color workgroup printer that has the ability to scan, fax, copy, and print. It is a pretty good printer, but the drivers provided for the printer really are just designed to be used when connected to USB. Well thats just WONDERFUL for a printer that is designed to be used over the network right? So as opposed to complaining, lets solve the problem for any of you that needs this for the future.
    1) Open the CUPS web app on your machine (yeah surprised me to)
    http://localhost:631
    2) Click on the Administration Tab
    3) Click on Find New Printers so that the CUPS server will be able to find your printer over the network. If it find it, skip to the test page stuff
    4) More than likely it didn't find your printer so click on Add New Printer. Enter a Name, Location and Description for this printer. Doesn't matter what you pick really so long as you follow the comments and don't use forbidden characters. Click on Continue.
    5) On the next screen it will ask you for the Device (which is really asking for the protocol) and you want to select the IPP (Internet Printing Protocol). Don't select the Http version!
    6) The next screen is asking for your Device URI. To get this, go to the Printer and on the Menu go to the Network Settings.
    Menu Button > Network > Network Info > Print > Yes
    A page will then print on the printer containing the details you need
    On this page there will be a Printer URI (i.e. http://10.0.1.4:631), enter this into the Device URI box and press continue.
    For the Make select Samsung, Press continue.
    On the Model select CLS-3160 Series and press Add Printer.
    The next screen lists the default printer options. Select whatever options you want and then press any of the Set Printer Options buttons.
    You will now see the printer setup in the browser. If you go over to the Printer dialog in System Preferences you will see the printer there as well. Before you leave this screen though, press the Print Test Page button.
    Give it a few seconds to print.
    You're done. Enjoy!

    Finally!!!! Someone that could fix my problem. I called Microsoft, Apple, and Samsung, and none of them could figure out why Print Preview would not work or why my Samsung CLX-3160 would print blanks.
    I upgraded to Mac Office 2008 expecting that Leopard did not work well with 2004 Office. The problem remained. I was just about ready to backup everything and spend the day doing a full clean install of everything. Then I found your thread.
    After HOURS trying other solutions and listening to each company blame the other, your solution fixed me up. A million thanks.

  • How to print double sided with macbook pro on Samsung CLX-3180?

    Hi,
    I recently switched to using a macbook pro but cannot figure out how to print double sided/two-sided.
    The printer I am using is Samsung CLX-3180 and it allows double-sided printing. I was able to do this with my windows computer previously.
    The frustrating thing is that I see the two-sided feature but I cannot figure out how to turn it on. There is no option to change it.
    It is listed here.
    First, I go to "show presets."
    Then, I click on "copies & pages" but I cannot turn it on.
    Does anyone know how to turn it on?
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi nat.the.musical,

  • WiFi Wireless Setup Wizard produces Blue Screen of Death on Officejet Pro 8600 Plus

    The wireless setup wizard on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus is failing immediately after "scanning for networks". I get a blue screen of death with error message B8494B00, followed by "turn printer on and off" with flashing screen.
    I bought the printer about one month ago and it has worked perfectly so far. My Apple Time Capsule failed yesterday, so I bought a new one (latest model) and had to set up the wireless network again. When I tried to do so on the printer, I got the error for the first time. Nothing else had changed. Other devices are working with no problems on the new network. The computer is an Apple iMac running OS Mountain Lion. 
    I have tried turning the printer on and off, disconnecting the power and reconnecting, then turning it on again, but no result. I have restored the wireless to factory settings, but no difference. 
    Please help. 

    Right off I have to tell you I do not "speak Mac".
    I assume the "Apple Time Capsule" is a name for a network router?  A syncing device?
    Unless I am mistaken:
    You do not need the Wizard to set up the network -- it is pretty software for an HP PC; when it works, it can make things easier.  The setup Wizard is not necessary for the process.  I should think this is true for the Mac.
    ==================================================​===================================
    If you cannot get someone from the Printing group to answer your specific concern,
    you may have succes with the following:
    The User Guide has pretty good detail on how to set up the networking necessary to get the printer connected to either a PC or Mac environment.  Assuming you can get the printer to "Reset network settings" (User Guide, page 222), then you can re-enter the information you require manually.  It is a bit tedious, but is may work better than fighting the Wizard.
    OfficeJet Pro 8600 User Guide
    You may be able to circumvent sone or all of this by reinstalling the Full Feature Software for your printer -- that assumes you are first able to "reset network settings", at least, and get a printout test page to verify that the reset actually worked.

  • Wireless setup

    I have a laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw.  My computer is a lenovo T430s running Windows 7.    I've been using the printer/scanner as a wireless.  I replaced my modem and now need to setup the wireless again.  These directions from the hp website say to  use the printer's control panel, and go to Setup (did that), Network menu (did that), and then the Wireless Setup Wizard is suppoesd to display a list of wireless networks in the area.
    http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/wireless/printer-setup-help.html
    I haven't been able to find the list of wireless networks.

    Hi,
    Run the printer installation CD, download its latest software from the HP site or go to My Computer and launch its installation thorugh the listed HP Smart Install drive.
    Select Wireless connection and follow the steos on screen to reconfigure the wireless connection for your new router.

    First there is a message that software is available from Apple.  You click to get it.  Then it tells you that it is not currently available from the software update server.
    I am running OS 10.8.2.  Printer is on my home network (not USB).
    I went to the Apple Software Dowload site and re-downloaded the latest "HewlettPackard Printer Drivers" (v.2.12) and installed them (twice).  No dice.
    Anybody found a way around this problem?

  • HP Deskjet 3054A Wireless setup without access to router.

    Hey everyone,
    I own an HP Deskjet 3054A, and I would like to be able to print wirelessly. When I go through the wireless setup, it tells me to either: 1) enter a PIN on the wireless router or 2) Use WPS (Wireless protected setup). The problem is that I don't have access to my building's router (I'm a student, afterall).
    I know some HP printers have a feature where you can plug it into your computer via USB, and have it set it up for wireless; mine does not seem to have that, as when I open up the HPLIP (HP printing software for Linux--- yes, I do use Linux), and add the device, and select "Wireless/802.11 (requires a temporary USB connection and is only available for select devices)", and connect the computer to the printer, and click "Next", but it says "No wireless capable devices found". I assume that this is because the printer is not one of the aformentioned "select devices". Is there anyway of enabling this feature? I'm not afraid of loading custom firmware or writing some C code if neccessary I'm a nerd afterall!
    I'm using Ubuntu 12.10.
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    OK, this model does support an ad-hoc style wifi connection, however only for the first hour after its first power on sequence (or a reset of the network settings).
    So, sorry, I think you are stuck with a USB connection.

  • HP Photosmart 5520 Wireless Setup Wizard Hangs, USB fails to install

    Hello,
    I bought a HP Photosmart 5520 4 weeks ago. I installed it and setup a wireless connection. It worked for 1 week without flaws.
    After a holiday my HP PS5520 printer lost its wireless connection to the network. I restarted the printer, still no wireless connection. all other devices like iPhones work OK on the wireless network. Tried to run the Wireless Setup Wizard again but the routine hangs (the spinner stops) when searching for routers and no networks are displayed, it hangs. Only a powercord detach can/will hard-restart the printer. After starting the printer, the printer complains that I should us the power butten, but that does not work when it hangs at the wireless setup wizard.
    I tried this routine several times, but the printer hangs every time when searching for routers... Tried manual, reset factory defaults, reset network defaults etc... Wireless is simply impossible to use since it can not be setup.
    So I tried to use the USB port directly attached to my PC. Since the wireless driver was installed, I connected the printer to the PC with USB but then it was marked as a unrecognised device by Windows 7. I tried to add the HP driver manually but when selecting the CD (inf), Windows tells me that the service stoppen (-10)...
    So I installed the software from the CD which pointed me to the online version of the software which I installed. After selecting the USB radiobutton, it tells me to connect the HP PS 5520 which I did, but the HP install window failes to detect that the printer is plugged into the USB port and the printer is installed by Windows as an unknown device.
    I uninstalled the 'unknown device' and tried again, wthout luck. Tried another USB port, Windows installed it again as an unknown device and the HP software failes to pick it up. So after googling I deleted all HP software from my computer (Intel I7 - 8 GB), uninstalled the unknown USB device from windows, rebooted several times, deleted all HP folders and cleaned all temp-folders (I am an IT professional!).
    So, I installed the software again but when the HPO software asks me to attach the USB cable, Windows again installed the 5520 as an unbknown device and the HP software again failes to see that the printer is attached to the PC. 
    Tomorrow I will buy a new printer but since this HP 5520 is only 4 weeks old, I really want to knwo how I can fix
    1 The issue that the HP printer hangs when searching for routers / wireless networks
    2 Windows/HP software to find the HP 5520 through USB 
    I guess nobody will have an answer since Google does not give any help. This post is merely to expose my frustration that HP makes fine printers but failes to deliver issue-free software... I always have issues when setting up HP printers somehow...
    Of coarse I hope that somebody has a clue..... Good night!

    I have had my 5520 for a couple of years, when intermittently it has dropped off the wireless network, and I have had to reinstall the network. Now it does it every time I switch it on - it has lost the network and password. This is very irritating...

  • HP P1102w printer will not wake up after sleep (wireless setup, win8)

    Bought this printer a month ago.  I have no problem with both LAN +Wireless setup.
    Windows8 OS
    I noticed once the printer is not on (goes to sleep), it will not wake up by itself.
    According to manual, if I send a print job, it should wake up by itself.
    Currently, this is what I need to do.
    I need to physically turn off and turn on the printer, wait for 10-15 seconds until the wifi blue light is solid (no blinking)
    and then send my print job, and it will work
    Just wondering whether HP has a solution to this, thanks

    Is HP ever going to fix / address this issue? 
    People Running the latest firmware - 20130703
    And there is no option to disable Sleep mode.  The max you can set it to is 1 hour.
    The power physically / manually has to be powered back on, to establish IP connectivity.
    This has been an issue for 2 years now!!! Come on what does it take to get an update?

    Make sure router is up to date. Try ethernet to rule out any wifi issues. Reboot ATV and router.
