Two issues with HP5514 wireless printer

I have 2 issues that I've had since I installed the Photosmart 5514 a year ago...
I get giberesh on my printouts. Seems to be narrowed down to sending a 2nd doc to the printer while it is printing the first doc. When it gets the 2nd doc, the first starts printing giberesh and the next docs are all giberesh. Power cycle the printer to clear.
The 2nd issue started in the PC after the printer software was intalled. Outlook 2007 will stop loading pictures from the web in my emails. If I kill the hpnetworkcommunicator.exe tasks in task manager, they will start loading. Then when I want to print to the 5514, I have to reboot the pc. The PC is an HP D530 with XP.
I have allowed the updates when the popup says there are updates.
The issues make me limit my use of the 5514 and keep using the older other brand printer.

As i understand, you have a NETGEAR firewall (with DHCP on) and two Linksys routers working as APs. As far as connectivity for internet is concerned, IP address settings as you mentioned for all the three devices is absolutly correct. You didnt mentioned the physical connectivity of 2nd router. Basically, if DHCP is disabled on both Linksys routers then you can either connect both routers to NG firewall (LAN to LAN) or connect first router to NG firewall (LAN to LAN) and 2nd Linksys router to the first router (LAN to LAN).
For the wireless connectivity, you can either keep same SSID or different SSID on both routers, both settings would work since they all the three devices are physically connected and have a single default gateway i.e. NG firewall. However, i would recommend to keep the same SSID on both linksys routers for seamless wireless connectivity.
And last as you mentioned regarding the network name that you cannot see for the first router.
You can upgarde the firmware of the router
And try to change the wireless channel to 6 , 9 or 11 and then try to view the wireless network.

Firefox is in the taskbar, but won't launch. (after having issues with a wireless printer install)

Installed a new wireless printer on my home network. the two desktops running XP-SP2 are fine, but it made a complete mess of my Toshiba laptop, running Windows7.
knocked out the network, disabled my wireless adaptor, turned off the wireless on the laptop and also disabled my Avast anti virus.
Got the wireless enabled on the laptop, recovered and upgraded the anti virus program and got the network connected again.
Can use Explorer, but Firefox will not launch, either from the taskbar or from Start/programs. /they are there, but will not launch.

There may be a corrupted file on Firefox.<br>

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ????

Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home. After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works. But now I have to do it every other day. ???? AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router. Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro. Does this sound right?

If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
Good luck.

How to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

how to print with a wireless printer with airport extreme

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

Cisco vpn client..
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/239113
I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

T540p issue with ThinkPad Wireless 2 x 2 BGN with Bluetooth

Hi,
I have the T540p, an uplifting experience compared to the previous brand I had, however I have been suffering from a recurring issue with the wireless connection.
Once starting up Windows 7 everything works fine except the wifi connection which refuses to connect. Putting the computer to sleep then starting it solves the issue.
I tried to tinker with options to no avail. My technical knowledge is modest so kindly I request support from your esteemed forum members.

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that you have issues with wireless connection in your Lenovo ThinkPad T540p.
If you have Power manager installed, make sure that wireless adapter settings in Power manager is set to maximum performance as shown below.
Also, go to control panel -> Power Options -> Change Plan settings under the power plan you have chosen -> Change advanced power settings -> Make the wireless adapter settings to maximum performance.
Next, go to the device manager, select your Wi-Fi card -> go to Properties -> Advanced -> Set "Transmit Power" to maximum, and "Roaming Aggressiveness" to lowest setting.
Also, under the "Power Management" tab, remove tick for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". And click "OK" to save the setting and reboot the PC.
Hope the above suggestions will help to resolve your concern!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Can i print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do i have to have an airprinter?

Can I print from my ipad with an wireless printer and an apple app or do I have to have an air printer?

It depends on the printer and if it is shared on your home network.
I have a wireless HP printer, but it is not an E Printer and cannot print directly from my mobile device. I purchased an Epson all in one E Printer so that I could print from my tablet. THe printer cost me less than $90 at Walmart.
(Epson 600 series all in one)

Airport does not communicate with my wireless printer

Hello all,
I can really use some help here. We have a Canon wireless printer and an Airport Extreme. The printer was working wirelessly until recently and I called Canon for tech support. I was on the phone with Canon for an hour. We have trouble-shot the printer every which way. They are now telling me that the airport is not communicating with my wireless printer. Is there someone that can help me check this?

Earlier G5s had an external T antenna I believe, besides the antenna wire inside...

Printer Not Connected error with HP Wireless Printer

Hi everyone,
Just bought an iMac, first time ever using OSX and trying to add my new HP 2540 wireless printer. I've spent 4 hours on this so far and now looking for help!
I've followed every instruction to the letter - the wireless connection with the printer is fine as I printed off a report, it will print connected via a cable and it recognises my printer in applications and I have done the set up via disc about 20 times uninstallig each time and starting from scratch again. I've downloaded the latest driver from HP. All I get is a 'printer is not connected/printing looking for printer' endless bar when I click 'print'. It seems to be an issue of it not recogising it over the wireless connection despite it being connected to my router.
What am I doing wrong? How do I fix this?
Many Thanks!

Connecting a printer is pretty simple if you follow Apple's process, ignore HP's guides!!
You can find Apple's instructions by clicking Mac Basics: Printing in OS X
In the event you still have trouble give AppleCare a phone call, you have 90 days of free telephone support and Apple can help resolve most issues. If you don't know the phone number in your area please click Contact Apple for support and service to locate it.
Good luck and welcome to the light side.

IBook printing with Belkin Wireless Print Server

Hi Guys
Ok, I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am a windows user (groan!, get a proper computer, yes, I know. lol lol) But trying to set up a simple network consisting of three pcs, one laptop all running windows xp/vista and one IBook. Not the best on macs but can find my way round!! All works Ok as far as seeing each other on the network and communicating/internet etc. Have introduced Belkin wireless print server to network and all ok for windows regarding printing wirelessly over the network. However, the IBook I set up as IP printing and set the appropriate address in the ibook printer setup screen. But when printing from the IBook it says the print has gone but it is actually stuck in the queue and never prints. Can anyone help with what may be a simple entry in the setup or is it some black magic IBook setting that evades us windows users??
All help will be gratefully received and promise to look at conversion!!
Thanks in anticipation of help..........

Your printer is a non-postscript printer and requires a CUPS driver in order to use the network printing protocols which are part of the CUPS system in OS X. Except for Brother, no manufacturer of non-postscript printers is providing CUPS drivers. The printer model doesn't show up because the OS X driver only works for USB. Apple tried to get around this by including open source Gimp-Print (CUPS) drivers with OS X. But very few HPs are supported. You should try HP Deskjet 900 Series, Gimp-Print driver to see if it "might" work.
For PPC Macs, there is another open source driver set that supports most HPs, including yours:
http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/hpijs/
But, these aren't Universal binaries, so they don't work on Intel Macs. The source code is available, and I think it will readily compile on your Mac, but I don't have an Intel Mac to try that on.
Next issue - print server setup. We don't have auto-setup software, so we have to read the manual closely and decide which protocol to use. If it's IPP (=internet printing protocol, not IP printing) or LPR/LPD, you need to find the print server's queue name (sometimes called port name), and enter that in Add printer dialog near IP address.
There are other ways to do network printing. The Airport Express print server from Apple allows you to use the USB driver because it uses Airport-Bonjour software to redirect USB output, instead of using standard protocols.
Hope this helps.

Any help with a wireless printer setup?

I recently got a Dell, and an wireless printer with it. The set-up seems pretty straight forward, but I get to the point where on my printer's screen, it gives me a PIN number I am supposed to enter on the WPS page. Problem is, I can't find anywhere on the WPS page where I can enter this number... is there an easy way to simply add another device?
THanks in advance!

How do I connect my new MacBook Pro with my wireless printer?

New to Apple products, and can't figure out how to wirelessly connect to my printer. I am assuming that it has that capacity....but can't find a way. I have an HP officejet 4500 wireless printer.
Appreciate the help.

As you will come to discover and appreciate in this new world, most common and mundane tasks have been designed to be simple, easy and, often, self-evident. But we've had to put up with Windoze's Weird Ways for way too long and have had our instinct to do things naturally blunted. Fortunately, the brain damage is curable...
Cheers!
P.S., in time you'll come to appreciate and benefit from the Mac's minimalist design, as was the Will of Steve throughout Apple's products.

Paper Size issues with CreatePDF Desktop Printer

Are there any known paper size issues with PDFs created using Acrobat.com's CreatePDF Desktop Printer?
I've performed limited testing with a trial subscription, in preparation for a rollout to several clients.
Standard paper size in this country is A4, not Letter. The desktop printer was created manually on a Windows XP system following the instructions in document cpsid_86984. MS Word was then used to print a Word document to the virtual printer. Paper Size in Word's Page Setup was correctly set to A4. However the resultant PDF file was Letter size, causing the top of each page to be truncated.
I then looked at the Properties of the printer, and found that it was using an "HP Color LaserJet PS" driver (self-chosen by the printer install procedure). Its Paper Size was also set to A4. Word does override some printer driver settings, but in this case both the application and the printer were set to A4, so there should have been no issue.
On a hunch, I then changed the CreatePDF printer driver to a Xerox Phaser, as suggested in the above Adobe document for other versions of Windows. (Couldn't find the recommended "Xerox Phaser 6120 PS", so chose the 1235 PS model instead.) After confirming that it too was set for A4, I repeated the test using the same Word document. This time the result was fine.
While I seem to have solved the issue on this occasion, I have not been able to do sufficient testing with a 5-PDF trial, and wish to avoid similar problems with the future live users, all of which use Word and A4 paper. Any information or recommendations would be appreciated. Also, is there any information available on the service's sensitivity to different printer drivers used with the CreatePDF's printer definition? And can we assume that the alternative "Upload and Convert" procedure correctly selects output paper size from the settings of an uploaded document?
PS - The newly-revised doc cpsid_86984 still seems to need further revising. Vista and Windows 7 instructions have now been split. I tried the new Vista instructions on a Vista SP2 PC and found that step 6 appears to be out of place - there was no provision to enter Adobe ID and password at this stage. It appears that, as with XP and Win7, one must configure the printer after it is installed (and not just if changing the ID or password, as stated in the document).

Thank you, Rebecca.
The plot thickens a little, given that it was the same unaltered Word document that first created a letter-size PDF, but correctly created an A4-size PDF after the driver was changed from the HP Color Laser PS to a Xerox Phaser. I thought that the answer may lie in your comment that "it'll get complicated if there is a particular driver selected in the process of manually installing the PDF desktop printer". But that HP driver was not (consciously) selected - it became part of the printer definition when the manual install instructions were followed.
However I haven't yet had a chance to try a different XP system, and given that you haven't been able to reproduce the issue (thank you for trying), I will assume for the time being that it might have been a spurious problem that won't recur. I'll take your point about using the installer, though when the opportunity arises I might try to satisfy my cursed curiosity by experimenting further with the manual install. If I come up with anything of interest, I'll post again.
