Satellite 300 - Can't connect Printer

We have 2 Toshiba Laptops, the older one is running perfectly and printing wirelessly via the NetGear print server, just purchased the Satelitte 300 and no matter how hard I try cannot get the laptop to print wirelessly - can go through all the installation procedures, tells me it recognises the printer but as soon as I press to print the test page it reverts to 'error'.
I then have to delete the printer, uninstall the drivers plug in the USB cable, plug and play kicks in and I'm able to print via usb cable but I really want to print wirelessly!
Can anybody help?

Do both notebooks use the same Operating system?
I mean if old works with WXP and new with Vista maybe you don't have right Vista drivers. Who knows what the problem there is?
In my opinion you should contact printer manufacturer and ask what the problem can be. If the WLAN on Toshiba notebook works properly and you can connect it to your WLAN router for Toshiba it is end of the story.
Please don't understand me wrong but every issue with external devices must clarified with product manufacturer. They have enough experience with own products and I am pretty sure they can help you about it.
Do you agree with me?

Hi Rolfus,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Photosmart 6510 will not print with your Windows 7 PC.
I would suggest going through this guide. Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Hope this helps, and have a good day.

Can't connect printer to my wireless network

I am running Windows 8.1. Had HP Officejet 4620 and just bought a new HP Photosmart 7520. I can't connect either to wireless network. My Dell laptop is connected to my apartments wifi so I do not have a router. When I display my printer info it shows correct wifi name and gives an IP address with a strong signal.
when I print the network configuration page it shows I am connected. Help!!!!! I am currently connected by USB cable.

Hi Bob1948
I would be happy to help you.
I understand you aren't able to connect to the wireless network but you can print by a usb connection.
If you upgraded to Win8.1, then I would uninstall and reinstall the software again to get it to work.
Photosmart 7520 drivers.

If the computer already had Win8.1 then I would recommend to power cycle the router and the computer. Turn the computer off. Disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready. Then turn the computer back on again.
Try it now.

Can't Connect Printer to Wireless - Insists the Right Password is WRONG!!!

Help!
My stupid HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911A Inkjet won't let me setup wireless printing on it....the 2nd time--
the FIRST time it worked great- easy peasy. Same password for the wireless router today as last time. It's a Verizon router, password's on the back, has *not* changed since i first set it up before, & it worked. wth.
Since i must set up wireless printing again, my idiotic printer software insists that the password is not possible because it's the "wrong length." (Has 9 characters.) Well, it worked GREAT last time, HP genius software writers!
This printer insists that my router password MUST be either 6 or 15 characters long. But it's not. It's 9 and it's what Verizon gave my landlord. Sorry. Now what?
Please help.... What on earth can i do to make my printer understand i am using a good password for my wireless network??
Thank you kindly...any and all!!

Hello!
First, thank you for the advice.
Last night i stayed up late fighting with this thing. I don't give up easily.
Before I received your answer this morning, found something that, oddly, worked.
Went into my Windows settings (I have 8.1) & tried to connect to my Office Jet 86100 directly from Windows by bypassing all HP software completely.
It worked - hooray. Printed the test page on the first try; then i went into Adobe & tried to print my auto insurance. Worked terrifically, no problem.
So then, I went back to the HP setup to see if it would stop acting crazy, since windows had gotten it to work.
At first, it said it couldn't connect when i turned the wireless off, then back on.
I went off and did something else.
When i came back, somehow, amazingly, the wireless indicator was blue, indicating excellent signal strength.
I i came back to the laptop and tried to install the HP printer software again. Doesn't make much sense, but it *finally* worked this time!!
The one problem i did have, when entering my printer's IP address in (which it asked for; either that or the network name, which was already showing up on the very same screen in the HP printer setup software) -- it would not take my printer's IP address at all. I typed it in correctly: 192.168.1.5. , periods in the right place and all. No matter what it said my IP address was configured wrong. WTH?
So, instead, even though it was plainy showing me the network name right there in front of my face, I typed the network name in instead of IP address. Worked first time.
So i think this HP printer software is buggy and SOME....BODY needs to debug it and re-release a fix. It just should not be this difficult to set up the same printer on the same laptop on the same network the second time.
Thanks.
I have copied and pasted your reply so in case my printer gets disconnected and I need to reconnect but it doesn't work again, before I bug you I'll try that.

Can not connect printer to iMac running osx 10.6.8

Hi, I am a complete novice and need help please
I had an iMac and it ran great albeit a few little glitches with our HP Mulitfunction printer but I thought the printer was a dud. At christmas I got hubby a new ipod and things went downhill from there
In order to run our new ipod I had to install a new operating system as we got Mac OSX Snow Leopard and were sent by apple version 10.6.3
I imediately had to update it to work with our ipod and now iphone 5's to 10.6.8 which is where we are now
From updating I could no longer use our HP printer, sometimes it printed and sometimes it didnt, it alternated with being able to scan or not scan. I uninstalled and reinstalled all the software and drivers and googled til my fingers bled possible fixes for the issue. Nothing worked, we decided we needed a new printer as it was too old (albeit 3 yrs) and no longer was compatible.
Cue today and we purchase a new Samsung Laser Colour Multifunction CLX-3305FN. I followed the instructions on the booklet to install it and it hasn't worked. Uninstalled it, googled it, reinstalled it, tried to USB connect it, uninstalled it, reinstalled in, downloaded new drivers, checked for software updates etc etc until I find myself here hoping someone can help.
I think it's a network issue with the computer? I really don't know but in lamen terms;
All printers I can eventually get to come up but they are always "orange"/off line once I send a print job to them
When the computer tries to send the print job, it comes up with an error message;
Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...
Refer Printer Utility for detailed printer status and trouble shooting guides.(Utility, Printer Setup>Utility>Open Printer Utility)
YET
If I go in through the printer utility I can scan from the device to the computer meaning they are connected?
I've got the USB from the HP printer connected which is why I think scan is working but I don't know
Ive run network diagnostics and it always comes back fine (green lights down the network status list)
I've "pinged" the printer through the network utility and this comes up;
Ping has started…
ping: sendto: Network is down
ping: sendto: Network is down
ping: sendto: Network is down
ping: sendto: Network is down
PING 169.254.214.99 (169.254.214.99): 56 data bytes

Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
--- 169.254.214.99 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
What is wrong with me??? Why can I not just get this to work?
Anyhelp, much appreciated

Bree

Thank you so much Paul_31 for your suggestions, HUGELY appreciate the effort
I have reset the printing system, a few times for good measure but nadda.
I have also looked at getting the software from the Apple site after seeing that with Snow Leopard you should let the operating system lead the install not the manufacteurers software as it is most likely out of date. I too found it wasn't there so I uninstalled the software got up the CLX_3300 series stuff then went from there with the USB cable. It apparently hasn't worked either
Unfortunately now after using the print utility to scan for a while that has now gone again on the last restart of the Mac. I am so completely clueless
The box says the printer is compatible, the place of purchase said it was compatible, the Samsung site says it is compatible.
I think it's the set up of my Mac? Our maybe a glitch in the network settings?
Thanks again

Hello,
I am trying to connect the bluetooth on my Satellite L670. The driver is downloaded but it does not finalize the installation. It always ask to connect to the laptop a bluetooth device.
Does this laptop have bluetooth? If not, can I use a USB bluetooth stick (any?) to connect a bluetooth device.
Thanks for your support

Hello
> Does this laptop have bluetooth?
What L670 model you have exactly?
You can check the notebook specifications on official Toshiba page.

Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to VGA & DVI port at the same time?

The Satellite P100 comes with two external monitor port. A VGA and a DVI. Can you have have two external monitor working at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal display working at the same time (for a total of 3 display at the same time?
Here is what I have confirm:
Internal display + DVI connector display
OR
Internal display + VGA connector display
Is it possible to have:
DVI connector display + VGA connector display?
OR
DVI connector display + VGA connector display + Internal display?

As far as I know this is not possible and you can use either DVI or VGA port.
For signal output can be used only one port for external display.

Satellite A110 - can't connect/ confree errors

Hi there,
I'm suddenly having problems connecting to the internet, both by wireless and cable, and on any network. The icon shows limited/no connectivity, and when I try to diagnose problems, it says it can't renew my IP address. When I start up the laptop, I get a Summit error message reading *XFERRECVG_RecvMain(): socket()error 661 10106* -- although I've noticed the error number changes sometimes! I've tried updating the wlan, lan, and confree drivers, but it doesn't seem to help. When I check the hardware device manager, it shows a yellow exclamation mark by the SM Bus Controller, but a) I can't find the drivers for that, and b) I'm not sure it's related!
Does anyone have any suggestions!? I'd be really grateful...
Kheldara

Hi!
The driver for the SM bus is in the chipset driver package. Maybe you should try it with this driver.
Look on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
Do you use the WLAN or LAN connection?

Satellite L670 can't connect on 144Mps

I got a wireless router Linksys e2000, it works as 80211n.
The Satelite 670 has a connection of 72Mps and I can't get it higher.
At the sam moment a HP laptop has a connection with the sam router at 144 Mps
I've installed the latest Realtek drivers 3-12-2010 2019.1.1203.2010

Hello
I have checked the specifications of different L670 notebooks on Toshiba website and I noticed not all models support draft N so what WLAN card you have exactly?
If your notebook support draft N you should also check the power management for WLAN card. I would recommend disabling power saving that you can always use the highest speed of WLAN card.
But let me give you a word of advice: If you use WLAN connection only for Internet, 72 Mbps are enough and you will notice a performance boost with higher speed because the most Internet connections are below 72 Mbps. ;)

Satellite L350 - Can't connect via WLan

Just bought a L350
I've managed to connect to the interent using a cable, but am unable to connect via wifi.
Wifi is switched on. It finds my BT Home Hub, but when i connect it just says it is unable to.

Did you check the Wifi device in Device Manager? Is the driver installed properly?
Try disabling your Firewall, that could be blocking the Wifi connection.
