Unable to connect Officejet 6500 and Wireless internet simultaneously in Snow Leopard

Hi,
I am using Mac OS Snow Leopard and Officejet 6500. Before upgrading to Snow Leopard, I was able to connect both my printer and my wireless internet simultaneously (Leopard OS). However, after upgrading to Snow Leopard, I'm able to connect only one of them at a time which is really very inconvenient. Whenever I need to print, I need to manually select "hpsetup" from the Airport drop down and wait for it connect. This disconnects my internet. Then I need to select my wireless internet option in the Airport drop down again once I'm done with the printing.
This is defeating the entire purpose of a wireless printer. Guessing that its a problem with HP developing the required driver for Snow Leopard. I've already downloaded the driver meant for Snow Leopard but this is not solving the problem.
Also, would like to know whether its a problem with everyone or specific to me?

OK, great questions. I'll try to address them by number:
2. I do not think this is possible. I think your printer was initially connected to your router and has recently fallen off (thus broadcasting 'hpsetup'). Sorry, I am not saying you are lying, but I do not think it is possible without two radios.
3. a. Yes, you can only talk to one device at a time through your computer's wireless radio.
3. b. You can attach your printer wirelessly in case you need to move it, but....see "c" below.
3. c. I would recommend that you attach your printer via a wired connection (Ethernet cable) to your router if you can. It is by far easier to set up and more reliable in the long run. I can help.
The wired and wireless sides of a router talk to each other. By the time it gets to the router it really does not care if the connection is by wire or wireless, it treats all "clients" the same. That is why I recommend to wire your printer to your router and keep a wireless connection between your computer and router.

Officejet 6500 and wireless router not connecting

I just purchased an Officejet 6500 and trouble trying to connect it to my wireless router. Each time I try to connect the printer by wireless it locks up. The power button is not lit, but the screen is lit with no text. At this stage I cannot shut it down or get it operating again. I'm running Vista Business 64-bit and the router is a 2wire 1800HG through AT&T. It runs fine with a usb connection.
Thanks in advance. John

I think you've just run into a known problem with some HP network printers with 2WIRE AT&T DSL routers.
We've identified the problem and will deploy an update sometime in the future. Until then, the work around is to assign a static IP address to the printer. Here's one way to do this:
Unplug he telephone line from the 2WIRE router
Turn the power off on the 2WIRE router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
Go through the normal process of connecting the printer to the 2WIRE device (Ethernet or Wi-Fi). The printer will not crash as long as the telephone line is disconnected from the 2WIRE device.
From the Officejet's front panel, access the "Advanced Setup" menu under "Network"
Select "IP Settings", acknowledge the warning and select "Manual IP Address"
Select "IP Address" and change the last IP address group (octet) to something higher or lower. Specifically for your 2WIRE router, select 192.168.0.60.
Press Ok and plug in the telephone line into the 2WIRE router.
Steps 4, 5 and 6 can be done from the printer's internal web page (under the Network tab) and it might be easier than the front panel on the 6500. To get to the internal web page, you browse to the printer's IP address which you can find by printing the Network Configuration.

You need to ask Apple for assistance with getting back into your old ID. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to resolve this issue through the Account Security team, fill out and submit this form.

What router are you using? make/model/version
What security type are you using? If it is WEP then symbolic (non hex) keys may be converted to hex in different ways by different operating systems. Is your laptop a Windows PC?
If you are using WEP then drop it and move to WPA2. WEP has been deprecated by the WiFi alliance since 2004 as insecure (it can be hacked in seconds).

Officejet 6500 A wireless+Lion

I have an officejet 6500, and am running Mac OS Lion. I keep losing the network connection. It will work fine for a while, then suddenly it will take forever to print, or, worse yet, never find the printer. Any ideas? I have to restart the printer sometimes to get it back on the network. I also find it takes forever to print large files like PDF's. Never had this problem with my older HP!

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, 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 do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Unable to connect to CMC and Java Infoview

Hi
I am unable to connect to CMC and Java Infoview. When I am attempting to connect, then the following message is displayed.
"Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to <web server>:<port number>"
Please give me some suggestions.
Thanks!

Hi Stratos
I uninstalled the designer and repaired Crystal Reports Server. But it did not help.
The CMS is running now. But I cannot find all the other services and I am getting the same error when I try to open CMC or InfoView.
I found some of these errors in my system's event viewer:
NT Service message: NT Service Initialization Problem.
The root server reported an error Initialization Failure.
The source for both these errors is BusinessObjects_CMS.
Please suggest something
Thanks

Mr. Sybrand,
Thanks for the reply and I understood your point. Can you please further guide me to get an appropriate Oracle Forms/Reports (Developer) version in order to make application using Oracle Database 10g. Please note that most of my experience is in D2K 2000 rel:6. and unfortunately I came into software development after a long gap that is why not much aware about latest version out there of Oracle Forms/Reports.
But is there really no way to connect D2K rel:6 with DB 10g !!!

Ibook and wireless internet

I have an ibook G4, 466, that I use when the wife and I are out doing our RV thing. I would like to get away from the dial up modem and go to wireless.
However, I have been told that I can not use wireless internet with the iBook because the wireless internet requires some hardware to be installed.
Is anyone using the off the shelf ibook and wireless internet?
Or does anyone know what I need to do to start using wireless?
Thanks

You can find the original AirPort card online at the following places:

http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/apaicau.html
These links had them available as of yesterday. They do list them as out of stock sometimes, but have been able to restock them. They are getting rarer and more expensive all the time, so the sooner you buy, the better.
I had one AirPort card conk out on me, so I recommend paying the $20 or $30 more for a new one. I would not buy a used one if I could avoid it.
Good luck. Wireless is wonderful.

My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.

This solved my question by mcbuffy on Apr 20, 2012 11:29 AM
There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
If it works you can empty the trash.

My Imac drive just died. Always backed up with Time machine to a WD My Passport. But after connecting it to my other imac (also running Snow Leopard) all the files are missing. I click on backup.backupdb but no files - just applications. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Communities.
We want to help you but unfortunately you have given us insufficient information.
Please find a moment to tell us more about your machine, the model identifier, the OS version, and the total amount of RAM you have. It also helps to know where you are, nothing specific, just the country. Macs do not run on iOS 6.1.6 as your profile says.
Then fill those same details in your profile for future use
