Unable to print from my desktop but I can print wirelessly from my tablet

I have an HP Officejet 4620 all-in-one wireless printer that worked fine until I switched from a Verizon to an Xfinity router. The printer is not communicating with my desktop [a Gateway], which is using Windows 7, however I can send things from my tablet [ipad] to the printer wirelessly and it prints no problem. I tried to troubleshoot but kept getting pop-ups and I just don't trust saying "Yes" to any of that crap, I've had so many problems with viruses through the years. can you help me please?

We switched from Verizon to Comcast and in the process of switching we lost the ability for my desktop to communicate with my wireless printer [HP 4620]. I could still print from my Ipad, but that was it. In my quest for help I went to the HP help center. I downloaded new drivers for both of my laptops and they were able to print wirelessly. I thought I would do the same for my desktop. But did not need to. I tried printing a document I was working on, and was very surprised when my printer responded. All is well! Thanks for the Forum. It's great to know this type of support is available.

  • I cant hear sounds from my iPAD, but i can hear sounds from headset.

    I tried reset and restart. It worked for a few times, but is is not working now. Any suggestion?

    Thanks, the bluetooth was off. I am now relying on headset now. I am using skype and i am able to turn on the iPAD speaker with control bar, but i am not able to turn it on Safari. Now that i am sure it is not hardware failure, it is software conflict, just don't know how to adjust it correctly.  I will go to Apple Store to bug some of sales now.

  • Cannot print from computer but I can print wireless

    I just connected this printer and I cannot print from my computer but I can print wireless from my phone.

    Hello dfreed,
    You can try some simple steps:
    Power your printer off.
    Unplug your router, and your modem.
    Plug your modem in and allow it to power on fully.
    Plug your router in and allow it to power on fully.
    Power your printer on.
    Refresh the HP ePrint Center site and verify that your printer has a status of "Connected" and "Ready".
    Some internet providers' modems are not always the most friendly to power off and on, so I understand if you need to skip that step.
    Please post again if any steps need any elaboration.
    If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
    Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • Why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    why cant i print from my ipad using airport express but i can print from my mac using the express

    Because your printer has to be Airprint compatible and connected to WiFi. There are applications, such as Printopia, that will allow you to print through your computer.

  • Why can I not print to my HP CM1415fnw from my Mac, but I can from my PC?

    Why can't I print from my Mac 10.6.8 to my newly purchased HP CM1415fnw (supposedly air print enabled) but I can print to it from my PC?  I thought mac's we're supposed to be easier and this printer is not discoverable wirelessly on my mac or iPad/iPhone/Ipod, but it is from my PC?  I can only print from the mac/iPad/iPhone/iPod to this printer IF the wired cable is installed.  Seems like HP has the problem, but the mac can't even pull up the printer's web page unless there is a wired ethernet connection.  Yes, it is working just fine wirelessly with my PC's on the network.

    Go to the Apple contact page and the first section should say something like "To purchase by phone, please call..."
    Call this number and order a Snow Leopard DVD.
    http://www.apple.com/??/contact/
    replace the ?? with your country's address code, e.g. http://www.apple.com/uk/contact/
    or if you are from America it's simply http://www.apple.com/contact/

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

    Hello:
    I am very much a novice with Final Cut.  I am trying to import some video files from  my desktop but keep getting an error message that says, "File error  1 file recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".  The file type is .mov, 35MB, 1920 x 1080, Codec MPEG-2 video linear PCM timecode, color profile HD (1+1+1).  Can someone help?  Thanks, Paul

    You can't import MPEG-2 files directly to FCP X.
    Can you play this file in Quicktime Player? If so, then you can use the free program MPEG Streamclip to convert this to Quicktime. Use the ProRes codec.

  • When I launch a video from Finder the video is not visible, it's like it's playing on an extended desktop but I can't see the other screen - what is going on?

    Hi Dan - I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'kick in Expose', can you please explain?
    It's a weird one as it doesn't happen all the time.  Could it have anything to do with running Apple TV and the MacBook 'thinking' there is another display (extended desktop) and playing the video there?

    You can only sync to one iTunes Library/one computerbut you can manage music among different computers.  See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    The only way to sync app from the desktop computer is to make that the syncing computer.  You can't sync app from more than one iTunes Library/one computer.
    To make the desktop computer the syncing computer you have to:
    - get all apps and other item on the desktop computer
    - Authorize the computer for the iTunes accounts inquestion
    - Connect the iPod to the desktop computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
