Trouble connecting wireless f4580 printer to network

Hi
I have just brought this printer & am having problems connecting it wirelessly. I have a Livebox that Orange sent me.
On screen it says the printer has successfully joined the network. its only when it prints a wireless network test report im having problems. It prints out a page that has the following printed on it
'More than one access point/wireless router has been found that matches your wireless network name (SSID) If this is not intended, your HP printer may connect to the wrong wireless network
If you change your network name, you will need to configure the SSID on all wireless devices to match your new network SSID'
Wireless on - Pass
Wireless working -Pass
Network name (SSID) found - pass
Security - pass
printer settings consistant with wireless router settings - pass
No filtering - FAIL
connected - not run
Other networks found matching your networks name - yes
wireless networks detected - 4
downlink count - 0
Channel - not run
Network name - livebox
Hardware adress (MAC) - f4:ce:xx:xx:xx:xx (have blanked out some as i dont know whether i should have it displayed on a forum as i dont know what the numbers mean, lol)
IP address - not applicable
configuration source - not applicaible
Comunication source - Infastructure
Authentication Type - WPA-PSK
Encryption - Automatic (AES or TKIP)
what am i doing wrong?
Thank you

I think that Orange is a DSL service, right?
Try this:
Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line from the router
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the device.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- In screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 255 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Use the router's IP address for the gateway and the first DNS (leave the second blank).
- Finally, plug in the phone line and test.

  • Trouble Connecting Wirelessly to PC Printer

    As the subject says, I can't connect to my PC printer. The situation is this:
    When the server computer is turned off, the printer is down for the entire network. However, despite the main computer (server) being turned off, I can still access the internet wirelessly.
    The problem I'm having is being able to connect to the printer. I have already enabled printer sharing on the PC printer (running Windows XP SP2), but I can't find it anywhere on my MBP. In fact, when I try to add a printer under PRINTER & FAX, the Windows workgroup doesn't appear at all. Does anybody have any suggestions? I figured by this day and age, connecting to a printer on a network wirelessly would be just a few simple clicks of the mouse button...

    Let me make sure I understand.
    Normally, you print through the server and everything is fine.
    You want to be able to print directly to the printer, which is attached to a Windows XP system (How? USB?), so if the server is down, you can continue to print.
    In this scenario, is the server normally forwarding the print job to the Windows XP system?
    Is this correct?

  • MacBook and TC trouble connecting wirelessly to PC network

    Linksys modem on a PC accepted my new MacBook just fine. Tried to install the TC (500GB) today. AirPort utility recognized the TC once, but when I tried to add it to the established network I apparently failed somewhere and the TC went away. Now AirPort Utility just doesn't recognize the TC no matter how many times I rescan, even when the Mac is sitting on top of it. The amber light keeps blinking which the ever-so-useful manual says is because there's not an ethernet plugged in. But this is obvious, as I'm not trying to connect the TC with an ethernet cable. Any ideas as to how to get the TC to be recognized by AirPort Utility?
    This being my first Mac I'm just still a little hazy on a lot of the interface.

    To try and be more precise, I repeated the process and recorded everything I did. Also, I've tried to install AirPort on the PC and work from there, but there's a .dll file missing and it won't even open.
    Here's the step-by-step.
    1. Open Time Machine Utility
    2. Prompted to Configure. Proceed to AirPort Utility
    3. Select TC on Left. Click Continue
    4. Name Time Capsule. Create Password
    5. Select "I have a wireless network and want to add Time Capsule or replace an existing device on my network" and Proceed.
    6. Select "I want Time Capsule to wirelessly join my current network."
    7. Prompted to choose a wireless network from a list. The only option is the one created with the name "Apple Network [Time Capsule Name]." So I type my current network name and enter password and Continue
    8. Given this summary:
    "TIme Capsule will use the settings below. Please make sure they are correct.
    Time Capsule Name: [My Name]'s Time Capsule
    Wireless Mode: Join an existing wireless network
    Network Name: [My current, working PC's network name]
    Wireless Security: [My security type]"
    I click update and get a prompt telling me that "This device and its network will be temporarily unavailable." I click continue and then the load circle appears with "Writing the TIme Capsule Configuration..."
    Error Screen Appears
    Repeating steps 1-6:
    7. Prompted to choose a wireless network. I select the one created by the TC under the name "Apple Network [Time Capsule name]."
    When I continue through the summary and try to restart the TC, it never restarts.

  • Trying to Connect Wireless Epson Printer with Time Capsule

    Greetings. I am a regular Mac user and using Mac for several years now. However, I am a new to network administration. I have a Linksys wireless router that syncs our 5 Macs (one iPad-1 iMac and three MacBook Pros), plus 4 Windows PC's we have in our network. I recently decided to purchase a Time Machine, and further our use of Apple technology in wireless devices. I want to back up all my computer's files to Time Machine and use the Airport Extreme functions of Time Machine while discontinuing the use of my LinkSys router. However, I can't get my Epson WorkForce 600 to wirelessly connect to Time Capsule in order to use the scanner & fax functions. Connecting the printer by USB enables the printer function, but disables all other functions of the printer (fax-scan, etc.).
    I tried downloading new Epson drivers and couldn't get some of them to install. This time My iMac wouldn't install the .dmg files. I tried opening the .dmg file and installing. The pop up box requiring my administrator password, kept flashing when I tried to enter my password. Since I couldn't get the .dmg files to install, my plan to update Epson driver's didn't work. Question #1: I am looking for advice how to install these weird disk image files ?
    I turned off my Time Capsule, re-connected the LinkSys to the cable modem and all my wireless functions work again, especially my printer. Sadly, no Time Capsule.
    I read another discussion suggestion connecting both wireless devices together. I assume since I want to use Time Capsule that I set it up with the modem and connect the other router to it via one of the four ethernet connections. I didn't want to try this until I received further advice. I am hoping I can connect my LinkSys router to Time Capsule and use the printer through the LinkSys connection with all other computers on my network.
    Question #2: How can I get my Time Capsule to find the Epson so I can use it again, or should I just use the LinkSys router connected to the printer?
    Thank you in advance for help.

    This sounds as if you are trying to use instructions that are more than 2 years old at this point, but you are using a new version of AirPort Utility Utility in Lion or Mountain Lion....which would not track or apply to the older instructions.
    Can you confirm what operating system that you are using on the Mac that is being used to configure devices?
    The new AirPort Express will connect directly to the Time Capsule using an Ethernet connection, correct?

  • Mac 10.9.3 I can not connect C4780 to print on network.

    I recently changed router and can not install my C4780 printer to the wireless network, it use to work perfectly. In order to set it up on the new router I deleted the printer and was planning to install it as I did the last time but it wont work. I can get it to work by having it as a USB printer but I dont want that, its really annoying me!
    Please please please help!!

    Hi there,
    Thank you for your reply! In order to get an IP Address I would recommend the following:
    Restore the Network Defaults. (On the printer, select the wireless icon to access the wireless menu, and select Restore Network Defaults).
    Go to the airport icon, and look for hpsetup. Once connected Adhoc, the airport icon will change to a square. only then will you be able to print out the new IP by printing the Network Configuration Page. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
    The new IP will start with 169.254..  then you can go into the Embedded Web Server to run the wireless setup wizard. (To access the embedded web server, put the IP address into the address bar of Safari. Once at the Embedded Web Server click on the Network tab, then select Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Hope this is helpful, and have a great day!

  • Unable to Connect Wirelessly to Printer

    Hi all.
    Since I had my BT Infinity installed I am unable to connect to my printer Wirelessly like I had previous. I have an Epson SX600FW Inkjet All-in-One Printer. I have the BT Homehub 2.0. How do you configure this hub/router for the Wireless Printer? I cannot see any way of doing this?
    Out of desperation, I have even tried to attach my old Router to the Homehub (even replace the BT Hub with it) but got nothing at all. Not even internet connection!
    Can anyone help?
    BT Infinity (Option 2/Unlimited) - BT Telephone (Unlimited 24/7 calls) - BT Vision (The Whole Lot! inc Sky Sports & ESPN)
    Solved!

    Infinity installed yesterday. Works perfectly both with laptop and Wi Fi Blue Ray DVD but will not work with printer which is an Epson Stylus SX425W. I have set up printer ok to run on Wi Fi but it will not print and I keep getting error messages. Spoken to Epson who have been thro the set up, confirmed that all is ok and asked me to print a status check. This says that network is working correctly but "A router/access point channel conflict has been detected". According to Epson, the solution is for the BT Hub to be configured so that it allows any Epson product through it's firewalls, and for MAC address filtering to be turned off. This is out of my league - is there anyone out there who recognises this issue and can help?   
    Hi rdec1945
    I dont use that printer but the epson PX710W.
    Have you used the printers on screen menu.
    Setup
    OK
    Network Settings
    OK
    Wireless setup wizard  or even Advanced setup and then WPS Wireless LAN setup, where you use the WPS button on the side of the HH3.
    Setting up mine did not involve opening any thing in the firewall or doing anything with MAC address filtering.
    [edit] have a look at this post from geaves, again not the same printer but suggests setting it up with ethernet first, I think its post 6.

  • Problem connecting wirelessly to printer

    Hi, I used to be able to connect wirelessly to my HP Envy 120, and then for some reason it stopped working from my Macbook - I can still print from my iPad, and my daughter can print from her PC.  Any ideas?

    Hello themaven. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Does your client's ISP require that she registers the MAC address of the device that will be connected to their Internet service? If not, then it is possible that the communication between the Internet modem & the Time Capsule (TC) has not been properly established.
    I suggest trying the following:
    o Power-down the modem, TC, and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Order is not critical.
    o Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Power-up the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-up the computer(s).
    The computer(s) should now have Internet connectivity from the TC whether they are connected to it by Ethernet or wireless. Please post back your results.

  • Trouble connecting wirelessly only at home MacBook

    At home Actiontec router connects wirelessly flawless when using Apple TV or this MacBook running Windows XP (via Bootcamp). Only connects to home network by first starting XP and then simply restarting to OS 10.6.6. Works good until any sleep session or restart; then must restart XP again (connects instantly) and restart back to Mac OS to connect wirelessly. No such issues connecting to any other wireless sites (libraries, coffee houses, other family wireless homes, or businesses)...no need to connect via XP first at such sites. No issues using router with ethernet except MacBook ceases to be portable.

    So what happens when you simply shut down and restart directly in MacOS without restarting in Windows first?
    I'm not an expert, but I can't think of anything related to AirPort that Windows would 'set' that wouldn't be 'reset' by then rebooting into OS X (although I know my own MacBook used to reset the internal time of day clock when switching from XP to OS X and vice versa, but that was with 10.5.x.)
    Do you have a custom 'location' setting created for home, or are you using 'Search' for every wireless connection? You might try creating a custom 'home' location for AirPort and see if that helps.

  • Trouble connecting wirelessly via Verizon FiOS router

    I am using a Titanium G4 Powerbook, OS 10.4.11.
    I have an Airport Extreme connected to a Verizon FiOS router. These are set to broadcast on different channels.
    Our iMac is connected to the FiOS via Ethernet: no problem getting online.
    Other Mac notebooks can connect wirelessly using either the Airport or the FiOS.
    This notebook can connect via Airport; however when logged into the FiOS wirelessly, and getting a strong signal, I cannot connect. Diagnostics tells me "ISP failed"; Airport tells me I have a self-assigned IP address.
    It seems I have some setting wrong somewhere?

    Why 2 routers?
    -- only the AE can broadcast Airtunes
    -- but the AE only has one hard-wired ethernet port (I need one for my imac and one for my ethernet printer)
    -- and the FiOS router's wireless signal is stronger, I can get it in more parts of the house.
    Thus the imac can be on via FiOS while the laptops are on via either FiOS or AE.
    As long as both routers aren't distributing IP addresses on the same schema, should it matter?
    I'll admit it would be easier to use only the FiOS router, but then no Airtunes. And I can't log onto the FiOS wirelessly, as I explained in my original post.

  • Trouble Connecting Wirelessly

    Hi.
    I received my WRT54G3G-ST router today and went through the setup without any problems. The problem I have is that I can't seem to connect wirelessly. A couple of times I received an error message that the router was out of range, but I was in the same room and within line of sight of the router. Now I have it on the desk next to the laptop but still can't connect wirelessly.
    Additional Info:
    Using Pantech PX-500
    Running Windows XP Home Service Pack 2
    Linksys WRT54G35-ST Firmware v2.00.9
    Receiving a good signal
    Connected using the network cable
    I would appreciate help in resolving this issue.

  • Trouble connecting to oki printer

    New 13" macbook pro not connecting to OKI data printer.  I tried downloading the drivers and still unable to print. Thoughts anyone?

    A similar situation--
    'Ended up spending 6+ hours with OKI tech support. We tried many many things but in the end could not get my brand new OKI 511dn to print wirelessly when connected using USB via a hub. Tech support concluded that it must have something to do with the way the printer handles PostScript.... Something about Apple wireless products / Bonjour not being able transfer PostScript correctly via USB. So if I had bought a cheaper laser printer (non PostScript) then I should have had no problem--so goes the logic!
    In the end, we were able to connect my new printer using LAN (going the IP and not USB route) via Airport.
    In the process I ended up buying a 10-meter long USB extension cable which I won't be using, and I had to go out and buy a 15-meter LAN cable to "reroute". I am glad that I'm connected now but it took so so so many hours of trial and error and time on the phone with tech support (not toll-free where I'm located)...I am exhausted!
    Bottom line: If you want to connect the latest OKI series color laser printer wirelessly through a USB hub and access it with Bonjour, you might want to go with a lower-end non-PostScript printer. Or, make sure that OKI has an updated driver that is compatible before whipping out your credit card.
    I hope that this helps someone.

  • Trouble connecting to internet via other networks

    When away from home, my MacBook Air sometimes will not connect to the Internet, even though I am connected to the host's wireless network. In Network preferences, the status says, "AirPort is connected to [name of host network] and has the IP address [xxx.xxx.x.xxx]." However, Safari will timeout with a network not available message. So I am connected to a host router, but not the Internet. This only happens outside my house, never at home.
    Before, during and after I connect to the outside router, I will get pop-up warnings (source unknown) that tell me my (specifically named) AirPort Extreme cannot be found. I don't know whether the OS, or some application, is responsible for this, nor why it isn't apparent to (whatever originates the warning) that I am connected to another wireless router/network. I don't know if this indicates a symptom or a cause, however.
    This problem is intermittent, and is not confined to any particular outside network; it happens on networks I've never used before, and on networks I've used successfully in the past. I have perused the Console, but frankly I don't know what to look for. Using Network Diagnostics from Safari leads to a dead end. The only thing that ever helps me get connected, when this happens, is to use "Assist me" in Network preferences. What it does or how it does it is a mystery to me. This is why I'm here.
    My question:
    Rather than ask anyone to guide me to specific solutions (given that I have not gathered enough specific information), I would like to know what things I should look for and take note of when this happens, either generally or specifically. This way, I will be able to offer more specific information if or when this happens again. Anything you can advise me to put on my checklist to help diagnose this in the future will be much appreciated. Since I cannot reproduce the problem at will, tuning my radar seems like the best approach for now. Thanks in advance.

    If you want to analyze the problem, the first place I'd check is under the Advanced button of the Network panel of System Preferences.  Select the DNS tab and see if what you see for "DNS Servers".
    On the other hand, it might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Can't connect to my printer over network anymore

    We upgraded to ox10.9 and since then we can't connect to the brother laser printer connected to our other computer. I went to brother's web site and downloaded the newest driver and now when I click on "add printer" it's not even there. I don't know what to do. I reset my printers and it's still not showing up... only if I connect it via a USB. Before 10.9 I could connect to the printer over bonjour because I was connected on my other lap top..
    any ideas?

    I figured it out. I had to create a new location on both the Powerbook and G5 and click "Apply Now". Then the PB showed up as a server on the G5.

  • Trouble connecting wirelessly to HP printer

    I am trying to connect my MacBook up to a new HP Officejet 6500A printer and it is not printing.  HP says that Mac has a difeernt way of connecting and that they can not help me.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Someone is telling you pure nonsense!
    (I own another HP, but I don't own this specific HP.)
    HP lists the printer as being compatible with OS X 10.5 and 10.6 right on their own web page:
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/18972-18972-238444-12019-3328086-4 083974.html
    Without more specifics, it's impossible to diagnose the problem you're having.
    Have you tried the HP wireless printer setup support site?
    http://h20563.www2.hp.com/p/_wireless/index.html?jumpid=ex_r602_go/wpc-support-h p
    I noted that MUCH of the user feedback for this specfic printer on the HP website is EXTREMELY negative, with many people rating the printer 1 or 2 stars. 
    If possible, you might want to return it and find something else!
