Unable to set static IP to wireless printer Officejet 6600

First sorry my poor english, still keep trying We do have an HP Officjet 6600 Printer for about 6 months.This printer has USB and WLAN, but no LAN port. We used the printer until 2 weeks ago. At that time, **bleep** starts ...As long as we used the printer, he was connected via Automated WLAN (DHCP) and everything worked fine.The printer was connected to our WLAN Modem which assigned the DHCP IP Adress automatically.Then, our Internet provider updated our cable modem, which is also our WLAN router, and since that time, the printer does not work anymore. He always shows an error after booting, and told us to restart the printer, and all lamps of the printer are continously blinking. There is no way to access the printer menus on the printer.After a long and intensiv internet research, i found out that the cable modem is responsible for the printer error!It looks like the WLAN DHCP Server of the cable modem sends DHCP messages, which the printer cannot use correctly. If I shut down the modem (with the integrated WLAN router), the printer boots normal without an error, but I cannot use him becaused he is not connected to WLAN as because the modem is offline.So I wanted to set the printer to not use DHCP by assigning static IP to the printer. But this does not work! I tried 10 times or more to assign static IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS-Server, no way, the printer always show "IP not set" (same for the others). Can anybody tell me why I'm not able to set static IP, Gateway etc. to the printer?!Thanks for every suggestion.

Hi , Thanks for reaching out to the HP Forums. I understand you are having some difficulty modifying your network settings. Since you now have a new cable modem, let's start with a more basic approach. Please use the following document for instruction to reset the printer to your new network settings: Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless Network. You may notice, when you open the link, that the full title mentions the Photosmart B209a, the instructions presented apply to your printer to so please don't be alarmed. I hope this helps.

How to set static IP for C4599 printer ???

Hopefully this re-post will help.

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?
Thanks again for your help !

Attempted to set up an HP wireless printer and my whole network is now a mess. HP help told me I had too many signals, as I have a Time Capsule 4 Macs and 4 Airport Express set up. Anyone else figure this out?

I attempted to set up a new HP wireless printer. It is unstable and HP support says I have too many devices since I have a time capsule and 4 airport express either extending my network or being used for a different printer or stereos. Anyone else find that their Airport Express/Extreme interferes with a wireless printer. If so, what's the point?

I have a similar model, the HP 8500A here in the home office that I originally hooked up using wireless on an AirPort system consisting of an AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule and 2 AirPort Express devices.
The HP was originally hooked up to the "main" router using wireless as a test to see how wireless would perform. No issues with setup or performance over the first few weeks. I did eventually change the device to connect using Ethernet once I had room to move the device near the AirPort Extreme.
HP is pulling your leg with the advice about too many devices. The AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule will handle up to 50 wireless devices. In my case, I did nothing except follow the setup procedure and restart the entire network....something that I always do when I make any change to the network.

Help setting up router for wireless printer

I recently purchased a wireless printer - but haven't been able to connect to the router. Router is a Linksys wireless G 2.4ghz w/ SecureEasySetup (SES). When I activate the SES button on the router - it will connect with the printer - but the router then re sets itself, my SSID changes to the Linksys default and I loose internet connection.
How can I use SES without the router resetting?

I assume that your wireless printer does not have SES.
When you use SES, the router resets the wireless settings. SES is designed to be used when both devices (router and wireless adapter) both have the SES feature. If only one device has the SES feature, then you cannot use the SES button, and the non-SES device must be setup manually.
Login to your router at 192.168.1.1, and write down the following settings on a piece of paper:
SSID
encryption type (probably WPA)
encryption key (sometimes called Password or Passphrase)
Next, follow the installation procedure for your wireless printer. At some point in the install procedure, it will ask you for the above info.
If you need more help, please state the model and version of your router. Also, please state the make and model of your printer.

Unable to set Static IP in Wicd

Wicd will get an IP just fine if I let it do DHCP. When I try and set my static IP it acts like its connecting and then just says not connected. The wicd .log has:
Putting interface down
Releasing DHCP leases...
Setting false IP...
Flushing the routing table...
Putting interface up...
Setting static IP : X.X.X.164
Setting default gateway : X.X.X.1
Connecting thread exiting.
Sending connection attempt result Success
X's to not show my IP. I entered the same information into the Properties tab that I would in windows or that I do in rc.conf and resolv.conf that lets me set a static ip without using wicd. There is 2 lines that I dont have that I have left blank and wondering it this is why its not working because I dont know what goes in them. DNS domain and Search domain(i have no idea what these 2 are looking for). I tried entering the server names for DNS 1 and 2 but that didnt work. I tried just ph.cox.net and cox.net in the DNS Domain field and that didnt work. So now im stumped and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time reading this and any help you can give.

Well that makes me feel better, I did leave them blank but it would not connect. I actually tried googles DNS in DNS 1 and 2 and received the same results as with my proper ISP's DNS.
I did not try Global DNS Servers way that you described, I was entering in the information in the properties tab. I will go ahead and try this method.
Im correct on my gateway, I run an ipcop box as my router and set everything in my house with static IP's so I have the DNS and gateway information correct.
Thank you for your suggestion, ill go try that and see if it works.
I am not sure if it matters but I am using wicd-gtk to set everything and not doing it through the terminal with just wicd or wicd curses.

Unable to re-install my HP3050A wireless printer

I've had my printer working for a couple of years now fine. In the weekend we had to re-configure our wi-fi, since this we have not been able to connect to our wireless printer.
I un-installed the printer settings and then downloaded the drivers to re-install. The printer cant be located by the computer, it then prompts me to connect the printer and the computer by USB to setup the wireless connection. I connect the two and nothing happens - it states " you will be prompted to disconnect the cable after the wireless network setup is complete". Nothing happens.
Plaese any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @MontyBroun , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing problems connecting your printer through the software. I would like to assist!
I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Hi,
Based on its specs, you've got everything you need to set it ụp It has:
Connectivity
HP ePrint
Yes
Mobile printing capability
HP ePrint, Apple AirPrint™
Connectivity, standard
1 USB 2.0; 1 Wireless 802.11b/g/n; 1 RJ-11 fax

You can connect it wirelessly to your home network and install its software & drivers on each computer then all can print. It also supports ePrint and AirPrint that means you can print from mobile devices too.
The following link shows many of its manuals.

WRV200 Unable to set static default route

In my case i should use the wrv200 as a router with static routes.
A tried to set up a route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254.
I did not get any error messages after clicking the "save changes" button, but it does not work and it can't be seen on the routing table.
I think that it is not a missing feature! That must be a bug!
Could anybody help me please?

I can not do that because the default gateway parameter belongs to the wan interface, which is connected with the router at the vineyard over vpn and has the ip 172.16.1.1 if I try to set here 192.168.1.254 it says:
"The gateway should be in the same subnet as the interface" or something like that with the same meaning.
I did not post but i use the firmware version 1.0.39

Install and set-up of a wireless printer DJ2540

I am trying to start-up my DJ2540 to a MacBook Air with no slot for a CD. So far I have connected the main cable to the same outlet strip I use for the laptop, connected the printer to my laptop, checked that the power is on, but there is no light on the printer and I am unable install the print cartridges.

Plug it in and restore it. When prompted, install your backup.

I'm unable to set a custom footer in print setup of "Page 2-#" so I would get 2-1, 2-2, etc.

I have tried "Page 2- #" (note the space) as well. This doesn't work in FF4 either.

Hello Sebastian,
you can get the Age column from Task 1 and then update the Task 2 Age column with that value. I am not sure why you want to run another workflow on Task 2.
You can perform below steps to set Age column from Task 1 to Task 2.
1. Create Task 1 using Assign a task , wait till the task is completed.
2. Get the Age column value based on Task 1 once the task is completed.
3.Create Task 2 using Assign a task , uncheck wait till the task is completed option.
4. Update the Task 2 with Age column in Task1.
5. Use Wait for the field to equal value , check for Task Status is completed or not.
>>The problem with this approach is that I can't get a reference to the list item that started Task2 to read the Age from the list item.
you can get the related item from task list item to get the main list item.
Other option is, Use Javascript and CSOM in task edit form to get the Age column from Task1 and prepoluate the Age value when Task2 is opened.
Hope this helps.
