Trouble connecting iMac to wireless networked HP printer -- printer not seen in

HP Photosmart Premium 410
Operating System: OS X 10.9
I am trying to connect a new Mac with OSX 10.9.5 to an HP Photosmart Premium c410, which is on an existing home wireless network and functions properly with other (Windows) computers in the house. I am following online instructions to enter the Apple System Preferences>Printers and Scanners>+ menu in order to add the printer, but the printer is not visible. If I use the "print sheet," the HP printer shows as a grayed out option and a message that the printer has been offline for more than a month. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Does anyone have trouble connecting to their wireless network, after being logged on for some time? Mountain Lion.

    I am having trouble connecting to my wireless network.  It works when I startup my computer but, after a while it can't seem to find the wireless network. I have an Airport Extreme and the light is green. The only way to remedy this problem is to restart my computer. Mountain Lion isn't that great after all not to mention it distorts some images when scrolling. I am kindly asking for some advice, I assume a major update will be coming soon.

    You don't by chance have a "invisible" or "hidden" network enabled on the router?
    Because Mac's won't reconnect automatically now to hidden network only upon reboots, it's sort of like advertising the hidden network if you take the computer elsewhere.
    Also hidden networks are no deterrent to hackers, they see all.
    Also check your time and date, make sure they accurate first, then save that, then make sure it's updated via Apple time servers in your general location (System Preferences > Time and Date) If your being kicked off, your DCHP lease might be expiring too early.

  • Having trouble connecting to my wireless network

    Hi everyone, my iPad gen 3 can not connect to my wireless network. I have to unplug my router, and repower for it to connect. Even going into settings on the iPad, and putting in the password for the wireless connection, the iPad gives me an error message that the password is incorrect. I was thinking of updating to a new router. My current router is about 3 years old. I am also running Network Magic from Cisco. Can anyone give me any ideas for a solution to this problem? As always, thank you for your help.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • TS1398 my friend had her laptop at my house and wanted to connect to my wireless network.  I could not remember my pass word/ Id so she couldn't go online.  How do I find out what it is so that others may connect to the internet when at my home. Thanks.

    My friend had her laptop at my house and wanted to connect to my wireless network... I couldn't remember my password and didn't know how to retrieve the info from my ipad.. How can I find ut what the PW is to my wireless network? Thanks

    Your password is something you created and is configured in your router. Your router may have the facility to reveal a password but you will have to find that out for your router.
    Alternatively, you can reset your router back to factory default which will remove your security settings so you can reconfigure them. This is usually a small button you press on the back of the router. Maybe recessed in a small hole so you need to use a toothpick to depress it.

  • 3510 all in one having trouble connecting to new wireless network

    Ok - just to update, at least the drivers are downloadable now ... I'll see if that resolves my issue. 

    Hi guys.  I just switched to a new modem through my ISP (Rogers) that has a built in router and a much faster connection.  (Previously, this 3510 printer was working just fine over my network with a modem and a router that was separate.)  My computer is hooked into the internet via a direct cable and everyone else in the household connects via wireless, which has been set up and works well.  For some reason though, my 3510 refuses to play nice with the modem and connect to the network.   I've tried plugging it in via usb cable, then going into the settings and clicking on the "convert a usb connected printer to wireless" option.  I hit "yes, access the computer or router", then next, it finds my wireless network with no trouble and I type in the required password and "next" - it then takes a while to go through it's "setting up printer on network" .... and then after a while, I get a "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router" error.  There IS no MAC filtering.  I have "allow all" set on the router.  This shouldn't be an issue.   Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it just a thing with the newer modem/router combos and these older HP printers?  I tried to update the driver, but your website doesn't seem to be letting folks do that at the moment (some error you're fixing, it says?). If you have any suggestions on how I could get past this problem, I'd really appreciate it.  It's driving me NUTS.  Thanks!  All the best, -- Jodi

  • MacBook 10.6.7. is having trouble connecting to my wireless network.

    Hi all~
    I am basically having trouble with my wireless connection. I know I have  a functioning connection because my girlfriend is able to connect and surf just fine. However, I try to log on and get the usual error messages. I've tried the network diagnostic and the setup assistant to no avail. They tell me to contact my ISP, but my ISP can't find a problem. Any advice out there? Has my airport gone crazy....is this a hardware issue??

  • C4380 trouble connecting to new wireless network

    Hi there,
    I've just moved house, and my printer doesn't want to connect to the new wireless router.
    I've restored the network defaults, plugged, unplugged everything, re-run the setup on both MacBook and Toshiba laptop, and I don't get past the first page of wireless network configuration.
    The HP Installer finds my printer via usb cable, and I've ben trying to set up the wireless network via this link. My network name and password are all the, and then it says "Device not connected", asks me to connect via usb, and will not recognise that the usb cable is plugged in at all. So I'm stuck at this bit of the set up.
    My diagnostics summary. Fail.
    Radio on. Pass.
    Radio working. Pass.
    Ethernet cable not plugged in. Pass.
    Network name found. Fail
    MAC address displayed, everything else not applicable or not run.
    The printer was previously connected to a d-link router, set up via my MacBook. The new wireless router is a TC7200.U but I don't know anything about it.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    Let's try this.  Make and model of router?  Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of the router.  Remove all security on the router temporarily.    Change SSID to TEST.  Now connect to your new SSID TEST with no security.   R U successful?  If yes, go back and change your SSID to what you want and try to connect to that SSID.  If successful go back and add your WPA2-AES security and try to connect again.

  • Macbook Air has trouble connecting immediately with wireless network

    My Macbook Air seems takes a while to find the wireless network (but it does eventually find it). I get several "No Internet Connection" dialogue error boxes before the computer finally finds the network. How do I get rid of this and why is it doing it? My MacPro works just fine finding the wireless network.

    From your signature it seems you didn't upgrade to Snow Leopard. If not, that could solve your problem. I had exactly the same issue under Leopard, but upgrading to Snow Leopard solved it completely.

    Can you see the network in the Mac's wireless network list?

  • Trouble connecting to Ethernet Wireless Network

    We're trying to set up my airport to an Ethernet wireless network. The router is working and it says airport is connected BUT "Airport needs its own IP address and may not connect to the Internet".
    My husband is a PC man and is getting frustrated - what do we need to do?
    Many thanks.

    Are you talking about an Airport Extreme base station or a Mac with an Airport Extreme card?

  • "connection timed out" when connecting to outside wireless networks

    I have had trouble connecting to some wireless networks. I have no problem at home, at various cafes and such, nor at work. Some hotels or friends' houses that I've tried to connect to give me the message, "connection timed out" after I've entered the correct network and password. The router appears to work fine, since other people can get on the network. What am I missing?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Finally figured out what it was. Had to reset settings on the router after a lightning storm, contacted Linksys and they walked me through the appropriate sequence, troubleshooting on their end took about 20 mins but they were extremely helpful and very familiar with OS 10.5, all this time I thought it was the Mac's fault.

  • I can't print wirelessly from my iMac although it is connected to the same network as the printer and I can print fine from my iPad to the same network

    I have downloaded and installed the driver from the HP website for the HP Envy 5530. While I can send documents from my iMac to the printer using a USB cable, it will not print wirelessly. When I tried to install the wireless connection, I got the dialogue box saying "Devise not reachable" and it suggested I check whether the iMac is connected to the wireless network (it is and the signal strength is excellent, Safari runs well) and that I check the printer is connected to the same network (it is). I am able to print items from my iPad wirelessly using the network so I don't understand why the iMac won't recognise the printer wirelessly when everything else works fine.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Advanced
    and check the box marked
              Include Bonjour in the Bookmarks menu
    if it's not already checked. Then select
              Bookmarks ▹ Bonjour ▹ Name of printer
    A web page served by the printer should open. Does it?

  • How do I add a printer connected to another iMac on the network to my printer list?

    How do I add an Epson printer connected to an iMac on the network to the printer list on my MacBook Pro? I cannot get it to show up in the list for printers to add.

    That only works if the printer is itself a network printer. You can't do it if it is directly connected to another computer on the network unless it is configured to be a Shared Printer on the other computer.

  • My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network

    My hp c4599 printer will not connect to my wireless network or show up on my computer during the installation even though it is usb connected. But it managed to create its own network where i can print wirelessly by selecting it sort of like bluetooth… I have installed different softwares from the hp website and looked at so many different forums but i cant find the answer. I have reset the printer and wireless network and god knows whatelse. I can also print fine through the usb cable, it just will not connect to my wireless network. I am going crazy P.S. once upon a time it was connected to my wireless network but i cant remember what happened.
