Unable to operate wireless printer with new router

The HP Officejet Pro 8000 has been working successfully for the past year via wireless on a home network with 3 computers using an ATT Uverse internet router.  The router was changed to a different new ATT wireless router with a different network name and WiFi password and the printer does not work wirelessly. The printer does work dedicated to one computer with a USB cable.
Should I download and reinstall a new driver?

  • Can't find wireless printer with E2000 router

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (running Vista Home Premium) that connects to my Linksys E2000 and to a wireless printer, the Canon MX870.  It's been working for months without problems.
    I just got a Toshiba Satellite P770-BT4G22 Laptop (running Window 7 Professional 64 bit) and installed the Cisco Connect software following the instructions where you have already set up the router and just need to install the software to do things like add a device.  I can connect to the router fine using a web browser or the Cisco Connect Software and my Toshiba connects to the Internet through the router without problems.
    The problem is Cisco Connect says it can't find a wireless printer when I run it on my new Toshiba.  I've put the printer within 3 feet of the router with my Toshiba in between but still it can't find it.  My Dell in another room connects to the printer no problem.  And I can print to the Canon if I  select the Shared Canon Printer ( on the Dell) using the Toshiba's Control Panel Add Printer function.  But obviously that means the Dell has to be on so that's not good for much more than troubleshooting.  I've also wired a connection from the printer to the Toshiba and downloaded the latest driver, printed that way so I know that's not the problem.  The problem is that Cisco Connect can't find the printer.  It says there are 6 devices attached to my router so it's seeing something, but I guess not the printer.  I've turned any firewalls off for this testing too.
    I'm stumped as to why it can't find the printer when the Dell did and they are all on the same network. Unless it's not compatible with 64 bit Windows.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I have already added the printer to my network using Windows Add Printer prior to assigning the printer a static IP.  But I followed your instructions in making the IP static so if I reset the router I don't have to go through the process again.
    When I ran CC and told it to add a printer, it did not identify any printer for me, it went from the screen where you say to add a printer to one where it asked me to name the printer.  Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was referring to the Canon because I'd already added it using Windows, albeit without a static IP, just by knowing what IP it had been assigned.  After I gave it the name, it went back to the "home" screen with computers & devices, parental controls, etc.  No errors, but no real way to see or change what I had done. 
    That's why I was asking if there's a way to look at the router and view devices that have a static IP.  I can view the DHCP table but it's not there of course.  I don't really see anywhere using the router software (either by web connection or CC) where the Canon printer is listed.  I see it in Windows Printers, but I saw it there before I reran  CC and it asked me to name it.
    I appreciate your help and I'm glad to be up and running with it.  Especially with having a static IP.  I'm just trying to better understand what happened and how to view my devices connected to the router.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • Unable to print after new router installed

    After having a new router installed by our cable supplier, I have been unable to use my printer with my laptop nor my desktop computer.  Do I need to uninstall and reinstall my printer on both computers?

  • I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express

    I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express.
    I am using a DLink DI-524 Router, Windows 7 (64), and the AirPort Express.
    AirPort Utility will not recognize the AEX wirelessly, it will only recognize it when it is connected by Ethernet. I can then configure the AEX and verify that the settings stick once disconnected and then reconnected. However, even after that, it will not recognize the AEX once disconnected from the Ethernet cable.
    I followed the suggestions of several other threads on these forums. But I am unable to get the AEX to work.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    It's almost always a security setting that causes problems when the Airport Express (AX) tries to join a third party wireless network. The AX usually does not "join" correctly and that's why you can't see it on your wireless network using AirPort Utility.
    Using an ethernet cable is still the more reliable way to configure and adjust the AX, but if you are want to try to configure it using wireless, you must return the AX back to factory defaults as follows:
    Power down the AX
    Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power
    Release the reset button after 10 seconds
    When it is set to factory defaults, the AX broadcasts a wireless signal with a network name like "apple network xxxxxx" where the "x's" are either letters or numbers. You must look for this network by clicking on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen. If you don't see this network, then click Join Other Network to search that way. Unless you connect to this network, you will not be able to configure the AX using wireless.
    Do you know the exact security type that your D-Link router is using? That is the key element in the process.
    Open AirPort utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab to establish a name for the AX, device password and adjust time zone settings
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode....Join a wireless network
    Wireless Network Name...must exactly match your D-Link wireless network name
    Enable ethernet clients if you want the port to be active (your D-Link must be compatible with ProxySTA for this to work)
    Wireless Security...exact setting of the D-Link network. WEP security causes a lot of issues. Try to use WPA/WPA2 Personal, which is far more secure.
    Wireless Password...must match the D-Link network
    Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes
    Click Update to save settings
    Any luck?

  • Can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 Wireless Printer with the AirPort Extreme Base. The printer is NOT connected at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme, and is placed in another room. It worked just fine with my previous router (Linksys WRT54G). Help me!

    Hey Guys!
    I just got my AirPort Extreme Base, but I can't use my HP Deskjet F4580 wireless printer with it.
    The printer is not connected to the AirPort Extreme's USB port. It is placed in another room, and I'd like to use it (the printer) wirelessly (not connected to the USB port os the AirPort Extreme), as I used to. There is no place for the printer close the AirPort Extreme. It worked just fine with my previous wireless router (Linksys WRT54G). I'm very disappointed with the AirPort Extreme Base Station because of that!...
    Can you help me? Please?!
    Thanks Folks!

    This must be a tough one, no suggestions at all.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to allow wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

    I want to use my jetpack 890L as a wireless router to enable wireless printing with a canon laser printer. Is this possible, and does the jetpack support WPS?

    I’ve used several wireless printers with a 4510 and 5510 Jetpack and they all print just fine. The MHS890L does not support WPS. The WPS Wikipedia article briefly addresses the reason why you should not use WPS.  If you’re having trouble setting up your printer the manufacturer has a toll free support line to help you. Your Jetpack has the Wi-Fi Password on the bottom, under the battery, and or in the LED display.

  • Wireless Printing with PowerBook G4 17"

    We have two PowerBook 17" G4s. We bought an HP 1320 LaserJet which works fine when cable-connected, but we want to set up for wireless printing to maximize our flexibility in computing and minimize wear-and-tear on the cable connections on our computers.
    We have recently learned from HP that they don't support Macs for wireless printing with this printer (although they do support Windows with it for wireless printing)
    Can anyone recommend a reliable, good-quality B&W laser jet type printer which is capable of wireless connections with Apple PowerBooks? We are set up for DSL using LinkSys modem, and LinkSys has been no help in this matter. Thanks for any help or advice ...

    If it's an ethernet printer then you should be able to plug it into a wireless router and print from the mac over the network. All you should need to do is to enter the printer's ip address when setting it up on the mac and it should just work - OSX has the ppd files built in for most laserjets.
    If not ethernet, then you have to find a usb to wireless adapter - they do exist, and then the printer will act much like any other network device. Linksys make a wireless usb print server. Try a google search for "54g usb adapter" but make sure anything you buy will work on a printer - ie pick up an ip address from the router.
    Bear in mind, that if it starts to get pricey to do this, it might be more cost effective to switch to an ethernet enabled laser printer which will work seamlessly. I recently picked up a Dell 3100cn which is really very good - if big, but the output is excellent quality and it was better value to get a new printer than get the bits to make my current printer wireless and replace the toner. Just a thought. Apparently the Dell refurb shop is very good and quite cheap.
    Good luck.
    PS - Wireless routers are really quite cheap, Belkin, Netgear and Linksys are fairly inexpensive - I found circuit city to be quite good.

    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.

    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.

  • Can't print to HP LaserJet Prof. P1102w_1 wireless printer with my iPad.

    I cannot print to HP LaserJet Prof. P1102w_1 wireless printer with my iPad although it appears that this is a compatible printer.  My computer prints to this printer.  All other components of my wireless options and router are working.

    Hi,
    Did you updated the printer firmware?
    The P1102w only support AirPrint with the latest firmware, not with the version shipped with the device.

    If you have any issues after updating the device please clarify your router brand and model.

  • Unable to use wireless printer or gateways/bridges with new D-Link 2750

    I have setup a new D-Link modem/router and connected my printer, HP Inkjet 4500, and a Netgear Range Extender WN200RPT. I had no problems with connecting them, but I can not print with any of my computers and the Netgear can not connect to the internet throught the ethernet ports. Verizon wants me to sign up for the Premium support, but all of the equipment worked with my old modem/router. Any ideas?

    Also, (don't know if this is relevant) but I've got three sticks of ram: 2 2GB modules and 2 1GB modules. They are grouped together properly.
