Unable to wirelessly connect to printer after switching ISP providers

I recently moved and needed to change ISP providers. My Mac is up and running wirelessly on the new network, but I can't seem to configure my HP printer. Model: HP LaserJet P1102w. Mac OS: X. Problem details: Wireless icon blinks for several seconds, then turns off. Attempted to setup wireless connection using Finder, then Applications, then System Preferences, then Print & Fax, then Open Print Queue. When I click on Utility, there is no option for HTMLConfig. Also, unable to find instructions for printing network configuration page or performing wireless network test. This printer was working successfully, wirelessly, at my former home. Thank you in advance for your help!

It sounds like the printer just needs to be added to the new network.
Uninstall the printer software completely and follow the steps for your OS X version in this document from HP.
What OS X version is being used?
What brand and model is the router?

How do I connect my wireless printer after changing ISPs?

I recently switched ISPs and now can't get my Canon printer to print wirelessly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer a dozen times with no luck. Anyone have the same problem?

Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

Hi, everyone!
I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

Hello and welcome,
I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61. I guess that makes 3
_Maybe_ your situation is the same.
The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver. Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked. Same fix there.

HP software loses connection to printer after a few hours

I have been having this problem since I bought my HP Deskjet 3052A a few months ago. There is a program in my Startup folder called "Monitor Ink Alerts - HP Deskjet 3050A J611 Series (Network)." It works fine when I start up my PC, but invariably after a few hours, I will get a message (and an icon in the system tray) saying that it has lost connection to the printer (I do not have the exact message at this time). The message also says that wireless scanning is not available. At that point, my PC will not print to the printer, although wireless devices using HP ePrint still are able to print. Restarting the PC will fix the error. I have set the printer up with a static IP address to try and fix the issue, but it continues to reoccur.
My PC is a Dell Dimension E520 running Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002, Service Pack 3. It is connected via network cable to my Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router model WNDR3700. The printer is connected via wireless to the same router.

I too have this problem and for no apparent reason. The only thing I can link it to is, if I print a letter and then go into mail merge to print the envelope it allows me to print the envelope(s) but then loses the wireless connection when I go back into trying to print letters.
It really is a pain because I have to stop what I am doing and spend time going through the set up procedure again. Not difficult (except for the faff of having to take the printer to the pc and connecting the USB again) but time consuming and very disruptive to my working day.
I have another problem with printing a document and getting gobblygook, but that's for another thread and I will search for this.

TS2756 Windows XP SP3 unable to wirelessly connect to personal hotspot?

iPhone 4s version 6.0.1 + AT&T data plan with tethering
Mac OSX version 10.7.5
Windows XP SP3 v 2002 + Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200 AGN network adapter, driver version 15.2.0.19 6/2012
Problem: I can use my Mac (today) to wirelessly connect to my iPhone personal hotspot but my Windows computer doesn't see the hotspot in available networks.
Background: My personal hotspot would work for a while then drop out. I upgraded to iOS 6.0.1 Monday morning, and Monday evening a friend with Windows 7 could connect to my hotspot but I could not wirelessly connect the Mac to the hotspot. I went through all the troubleshooting: restored network settings, closed apps, restarted services, rebooted, verified AT&T still had me on a tethering plan - the only thing that fixed it was a complete restore, however my Windows XP computer still can't see it. It can see and connect to other networks. I upgraded the network adapter driver, rebooted, repaired the wireless network connection, released/renewed all ip addresses, and confirmed with Intel that the adapter supports WPA/WPA2. It can see and connect to other wireless networks.
This Apple Support KB article says I should be able to use the hotspot via wifi with "A device with Wi-Fi with support for WPA/WPA2 encryption," however the Apple tech support supervisor I spoke with today said the hotspot only works wirelessly with Windows 7 and Vista.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hello JMeFX. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Try the following:
o If you are running wireless encryption on the Time Capsule (TC) temporarily disable it. Can the PC connect wirelessly now?
o If the PC is still unable to connect with encryption disabled, try changing the default radio mode from "802.11n (b/g compatible)" to "802.11g only." You can access this mode by holding down the Ctrl key before making the selection in the AirPort Utility.

Error: cartridge not suitable for this printer after switch off and on

HI,
I have an officejet 6310 all-in-one. After printing and switching it off and switching it back on the next day, I get the message (translated from Dutch):
catridge error:
Rightside cartridge isnot suitable for this printer
Switching it off, removing either the right-hand cartridge or even both cartridges doesn't solve this issue. Anyone has an idea how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Ronald.

After the upgrade to the new firmware, time capsule disconnect the imac (wireless connection by airport) after few seconds. NEED HELP!

I have:
imac 24" (year 2008) OsX 10.6.8.
Time Capsule (year 2010) 2Tb.
Wireles connectio by Airport v5.6.1
Problem:
Since the last firmware update of the time capsule, the connection is lost after a few seconds.
Note: a windows 7 pc is connected to the time capsule too, without problems!
Can someone help me, please!

Go back to 7.6.1 at least.. do not use 7.6.3 firmware.. as it has wireless issues.
You go back by selecting firmware update with option key held down.

I'm using my Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MHS291L to wirelessly connect my printer to my desktop and tablet will the printer use my monthly data to print/recieve info from my computer/tablet

I know a normal wireless router would allow me to connect my printer to my desktop and tablet but will using my Verizon Jetpack® 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot MHS291L as a access point incur data usage each month?

Hello Heath76, you pose an excellent question! Yes, if the Jetpack is used as an access point for any of the devices listed it will incur data usage.

Cannot establish wireless connection with WRT54G after power-off

My WRT54G (firmware v7.00.0) is connected to cable TV modem and
usually the wireless connection works fine, but after swiching off and later
on the power to WRT54G a laptop cannot establish WiFi connection to internet.
I can see in Odyssey software (for wireless communication) that my laptop
found the right network (SSID) but in status it says 'waiting for keys'.
I use WPA2 (TKIP). The laptop does not connect to internet.
When I connect it by cable (ethernet) the internet works fine, I have noticed
that by accessing the web-page utility of the router and simply clicking
save changes on wireless-settings page (without making any changes in
the settings) my laptop instantly establishes wireles connection and
everything works fine till next power swich-off.

Thanks for reply! I have my network in preffered, and the software/laptop locks on
the network (see it, says it have excellent signal strenght) and gives note
'waiting for keys' (the WPA2 encription key is in the settings - both of router and laptop client - Odyssey).
I've got firmware ver.7 so it is probably the latest.

Officejet 6500 wireless doesn't print after computers wake up

Upgraded to Windows 7, but got a new integrated modem/router combo. It's a Netgear DGND3300.
My whole network is wireless.
I never had this issue with my 2Wire Home Portal 2701 modem/router combo. It worked flawlessly and I mean flawlessly.
I have to reinstall my drivers for the printer and then it will work. If we go to bed and and then try to print the next morning, it's like the printer info hangs in the spool.
I get the icon saying it's printing, no errors, but the printer just doesn't print!
So if I wirelessly delete the printer then reinstall it, it will print fine.
I can't figure out where the issue is. Turning off the computer and turning it back on again doesn't seem to help.

Good job on the firmware.
Have you downloaded this patch for Win 7 upgrades?

My iMac is printing duplexed documents on a wirelessly connected Epson printer extremely slowly (minutes), but prints fast from and IOS device using AirPrint. Settings don't offer any help. Can anyone advise, please?

I have a one-year old (intel) iMac, now running on Mountain Lion. I have a wireless network with an Epson Photo Stylus PX830FWD printer which has an auto-duplexer. My problem is that when I print a two-sided document, the print takes minutes rather than seconds. It prints at normal speed if I use the print facility on my iPad or iPhone (AirPrint), which suggests that the Mac settings are at fault. I have been through all the settings on System Preferences that I can find, but nothing makes any difference.
I didn't notice it prining at slow speed on Snow Leopard or Lion OSX!
Any suggestions, please?

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15947486#15947486
On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

Cannot establish wireless connection with printer

HP Photosmart C4780/Windows 7 64 bit/no error messages
This printer was previously running on this PC via a network router. I replaced the router with a new one and have not been able to reconnect the printer to the new network. The printer works when connected via the USB cable. The blue wireless light is ON on the printer panel.
Following the troubleshooting guidance of HP on line, I disconnected the USB cable and put in the printer install disk, hit launch pad/Configure Network Device which goes to a window "Reconfiguring Network Device". This runs for hours and never gives me the next step (never asks me to connect the USB cable).
I was able to print out a Printer Status Report when the printer was connected via the USB cable.
Thank you
Cobi

You have to run the Wireless setup wizard from your printer to connect it to the network with your new router-
You will have to enter the SSID & WEP/WPA KEY

Loose Colormanagement for first print after switching the printerdriver

I do have a postscript laserprinter from Konica Minolta and two Epson Stylus Pro 9800 inkjet printers without postscript (they have their own printer drivers), all connects over ethernet.
My trouble is, every time I switch the driver / printer, the first printjob printed without colormanagement. The prints are to light and with only little yellow. At second printjob all is fine.
On the Epson printers it is very expensive, if I had to trash the first print, because I print on them only canvas, photo- and fineart-papers.
Has onyone the same trouble?

It does seem like strange behavior but thanks for sharing the work around.

Lost connection to printer through switch

I have a SRW2016 switch, WRT600N router. I have 3 laptops, 2 printers, sat box, NAS, blue ray player, skype phone, and XBOX 360 connected to the switch. I have a couple VLANS set up, nothing complex. My wifes computer was printing fine. Now the printer stopped. My computer works fine through the net. Both of us have Windows Vista SP2. I can ping my computer, the NAS, and the router fine from my wifes computer. I can't ping the switch or either of the printers. She has access to the internet with no problems. I disconnected the SRW2016 and connected her computer through a SD2008 as an experiment. Her computer pings the pinters and can connect and use them. As soon as I connect to the SRW2016 nothing. I suspect the switch is the problem. I checked the settings on the switch and I don't see anything differnet. I did a netsh int ip reset and also cleared the counters on the port she is connected to. I'm at a loss. Can someone give me a couple ideas to try?
Thanks
jjbender

I had them set up in a different VLAN than the computers. I had 7 VLAN's. I think too many for a home setup. It did work fine. My computer is still working, just my wifes computer. I can't ping the switch or the printers any longer. She can connect to the internet and ping my computer. She can ping the Xbox 360 which is on a different VLAN which I set up for access. She can connect to the NAS which again is on a different VLAN with access. Only the switch and the printers. The 2 printers were on a VLAN to themselves. I like messing around to learn. What I finally did was reset the switch to default and set only a total of 4 VLANs. 1 is the default and nothing in it, 2 is the network which I have all computers and the router connected to this also gives me access to the internet, ports g1=router, g5 thru g8 computers, VLAN 3 is the data, g3 HP mediasmart (future), g4=CE NAS, g12=Xbox, g13 and g14 the printers. VLAN 4 misc, g9=Netgear Skype phone, g10=Sat box, and g11=Blue Ray player. This is how I have it set now, This is simpler and now everything works. She's back to printing again. I still would like to figure out what happened. I'm learning
Thanks
Steve

I wasn't expecting to lose wireless connection so soon after upadate

But sure as shootin' (whatever that means) I lost connection to the router again today - this was a very short window of operation and this is after the newest update.
One wonders what Apple is doing about this issue.....

It seems that any little glitch, power loss, no paper etc, causes a major search on how to restore my HP Officejet Pro 8600 to wireless internet connectivity. (Networked with IMac and another PC with windows)Is there a reason that this happens and therefore a standard correction?
