Wireless printer will not scan or connect to computer

HP Photosmart 7510 wireless used with Windows 7 OS. The scan feature will not scan to my computer. It will scan to a memory card. The error message is that the computer is not connected. Have tried to find ways to "connect" it with HP help to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated.. Thanks, LizbettC

Can you scan from within Microsoft Paint?

So, I have created my home sharing from my base computer to my laptop. On my lap top I see the tab for home sharing but it will not let me connect to my computer to share my music over. I have done everything iTunes has told me to but it still won't work.

I got some more info that may help.
I put a cd on my laptop, and was able to share it to my computer... So the problem is only from my computer to my laptop. I tried the firewall thing and it did not help. I read the rest of the trouble shooting page, and nothing else applies. iTunes is an execption and already was. I can not think of anything else being my problem. Do you think I should re-install iTunes or would that be a waste of time? At this point I am about to just call Apple for some help because I am getting to stressed over this.
Thanks

HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON? From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly. It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive. If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

Mac Mini will not keep mirror displays on after computer sleeps or shuts down.

Hello. I work in a school district that has a few Mac Mini computers set up with its own moniter and also plugged in HDMI to a projector. Last year we had them set up with OSX 10.6 and decided to upgrade them to 10.8 After the upgrade, Display Mirroring will not stay on. If the computer is reset or falls asleep it is set back to extended desktop. How can I get it to stay without having them constantly turning it back on? (The teachers are using network accounts. I doubt it has anything to do with it because it worked fine last year on 10.6. But I thought I would mention it.)

Does it only do it for network accounts?
Is there an admin account on the Mini to test with?

HP 3054 Wireless Printer WIll Not Stay Connected -

I have had an HP 3054 wireless printer for the last few years. During this time I had minimal setup issues with the printer. Last month I moved out of state and have had constant issues.
Most recently I have been able to "see" the network when setting up the printer but it would not connect. I have a UBEE modem router and both a PC with Windows 7 (64 bit) and a MacBook Air with Mac OS 10.7.5
After HOURS (and I mean like 12 hours in total) of playing around on looking on these boards I somehow got it connected to both wireless yesterday. Last night we had a storm, the power went out and thus my printer was offline and would not reconnect to the network again.
I am not very technical, but I had tried to do a "static lease" yesterday which I thought would keep it from changing the IP if something like that were to happen?
I have no idea exactly what I did, but it looks like I was able to reconnect this morn by reinstalling the software and changing the control channel on the wireless router. I NEVER had to do this with my old qwest router.
Can someone tell me if I am better off just getting a new printer? This is a real hassle and annoying is an understatement.
I need a much more permanent solution to this issue.
Thank you for your time and help!

HP 5510 wireless printer - will not print

This printer was hardly used. A message came on that said "black ink was low". I purchased new HP black ink
and still it will not print. I removed the remaining cartridges and wiped with alcohol and dry clean cotton rag.
I noticed that the yellow ink when I touched it with the rag did not expel as much ink as the red, blue and black.
Could that be the reason why this is not printing. The printer goes through all the motions and works fine, but
all the paper comes out blank. I have been on several times with HP technicians and spent 4 hrs. on Thursday
which was ridiculous - a big waste of time going through processes that I had done several days before. The printer
is still in warranty and Hewlett Packard offered a reconditioned Model which I really dont want. I don't want
someone else's headache. They want this one back and I haven't decided fully. They offered 5520 and others
where I would have to pay between $79 to $89. I have come to the conclusion why have a warranty or insurance. I dont feel like sending this back and have been trying to solve the problem. One technician said it was a malfunction and another said it was a problem with the printer head. I wasted my money and would like to try a different brand,
but what. I have always used HP photosmart printers, but I paid $350 for HP 5180 or 5280 which had a
big problem later with the ink cartridges and I have HP 6280 and I love the photo that prints out. I paid a good
sum of money for those two and wanted a wireless. This has caused me so much aggravation especially dealing
with HP technicians from all over the world. They don't know anymore than I do. I have been using printers
for over 15 yrs. I dislike dealing with HP personel. I give them a 0.

I would take a reconditioned product over a new replacement any day. The reconditioned product has been verified to have a problem, taken apart by a technician, verified the defective part, replaced defective part (which will never fail again) and put back together and tested more extensively than a new unit. New unit... put together by an assembly person, press self test and ship it out.

My HP Envy 120 wireless printer will not print from my ipad.

My Envy 120 series (E39A3C) will no longer print from my ipad. The day I installed it, it did print, but since then will not. As far as I know I have not changed any thing.
It prints perfectly well from my PC and laptop.
I have taken all the advice (I think) from the HP Help site, like switching off and on again, like Uninstall and then Install again. Nothing has made any difference.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

No problem, I hope my responses were helpful in some way. The claim code that was printed on the "Important Printer Setup instructions" page when you enabled web services is the printers unique email address, when you append it with @hpeprint.com. AS you have seen, when you send an email from your iPad tot his address with either text content or a file attachment it will print on your Envy 120 provided both the printer and the iPad are connected to the internet via your WiFi network at the time you send the message. Just in case you run into any issues with ePrint jobs being delayed or not completing, here is a support document that gives possible causes and solutions.

HP P1102w Wireless Printer will not pair with a Motorola SBG6782-AC Wireless Cable Modem Gateway

I previously had AT&T U-verse Internet using an Arris IPDSL NVG510 Wireless Modem Gateway. My HP Laptop running Windows 8.1 and the HP LasrJet Pro P1102w Wireless Prnter routinely & automatically connected to the NVG510 Wireless Network without any problems over the past two years, and the wireless Printer worked without problems. I recently replaced the AT&T U-verse Internet connection with a 25 Mbs Comcast Xfinity Intrnet connection, using a Motorola Arris SURFboard SBG6782-AC Wireless Cable Modem Gateway. My HP Laptop running Win 8.1 Pro connects to the Network and accesses the Internet with no problems what-so-ever; However, the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w wireless Printer does connect to the Wireless network and I cannot Print at all from my laptop. I have tried all the P1102w Wireless Printer Setup suggestions from the HP Printer Support Site, but to no avail. I have also updated the Printer Firmware and Loaded the latest Full Product Installation & Driver Software. I have tried and re-tried these suggestions over the last two days, but with no luck. I would greatly appreciately any help from the experts in this Forum. to get the printer to work wirelessly, since we also wirelessly print to this printer from IPads and other wireless laptops.

Hi , I see that you are having issues connecting the printer to the new router. I would like to help you. I would reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise. Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page. If the network name has any spaces or special characters, the printer may not recognize it. The printer is only capable of sending/receiving in the 2.4 ghz band. If it is set to 5 GHZ network you may need to change to 2.4 ghz. (rename the 5 ghz or shut it off)
The WPA key setting needs to be on AES to work correctly not TKIP.Multi casting needs to be turned on.
Firewall on router has to have open ports for printer.
If you have Mac Filtering you need to give printer hardware address from Configuration page.You might need to contact your router company for further assistance to check those settings. Try running the Wireless Configuration Wizard from the HP software to configure the printer over the network. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below.If you have any issues, please let me know what steps you have taken and the results. Thank You.

Wireless Printer Will Not Connect To Any Machine

Okay so just want to start out saying any help is appreciated, haven't used a forum before so hoping for any answers.
I have a HP Photosmart 5510 All in One B111a printer
Trying to connect to 2 laptops 1 Win7 64 bit - 1 Windows XP Professional SP2
I have had the printer for around a month - Set it up on my Win7 laptop no problem, needed to connect to the Win XP laptop, and after turning it on it will not connect to either randomly
It seems so far that the printer is connected to the network according to what it says, and both laptops install the software okay but when searching for the printer neither can find it, it then resorts to searching via IP where it still cannot find it.
So far I have attempted to reset defaults on printer, reset network defaults on printer, change the IP address, update the IP address, reinstall the software, reinstall the driver, install the full feature installation package, the network diag tool, it cannot seem to find the printer at all even though on the printer screen it states it's connected to the network fine.
It works fine through a cable and at one point i made a WPS connection via my Win7 laptop but couldn't really figure out what to do next and if it would help my situation so disconnected.
I don't know whether this is down to some stupid mistake I've made/something basic I've missed (it's my first printer) or an actual problem
Please help!

How is it connected, USB or Wireless?
If you are USB, you may want to try another USB cable.
The next time it goes offline, try running the Print and Scan Doctor.

Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itune, keeps reverting to apple logo?

My Ipod Touch will not charge or connect to Itunes/computer
Ipod switchs on charge logo appears then switchs to apple logo

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
