USB and Wireless Together?

Just purchased Photosmart D110 printer.  This is probably a very simple question, but can it run USB on one computer and wireless on another at the same time?  One computer is a desktop with no wireless capability, the other is a laptop that runs almost exclusively wireless.  Can both computers use the D110 without having to change the printer settings all the time?
This question was solved.

I am having the same problem with a new LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw.  When I initially set it up with Setup wizard, I selected the "USB" option, since that was how my old printer was hooked up to the computer.  That worked fine and the printer works perfectly with my desktop.  Now I can't figure out how to also set up the printer to be used wirelessly.  I specifically bought this printer because I wanted to be able to Airprint from an ipad.  I've tried several of the fixes listed on this website, but I'm not able to get a list of wireless networks to appear on the printer menu.  I am using a Linksys wireless G router, which is hardwired to my desktop, but which I use to wirelessly access the internet with my laptop and ipad.
What is the best way to be able to use the printer with my both my desktop (non-wireless), laptop, and ipad (both wireless)?  Can I leave the printer hardwired to my desktop with a USB AND connect the other devices wirelessly?  If so, what is the best way for me to connect the printer to my router - wirelessly or wired?  What steps do I need to take to do that and get the printer connected?
Thanks for your help!

    i tried to print from coupons,com but it will not  i have used coupons.com before with my other printer and weorked fine i have coupons.com looking into it
    just wondering if anyone else out there have the same problem

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • C6180 - USB and Wireless on the same computer

    I have a C6180 and have no problem installing it as a USB printer OR via a wireless connection. Is there a way to have both, USB and wireless, on the same computer at the same time using 2 different printer setups? Windows XP Pro SP3 and Mac OsX 10.5.4

    It can get confusing if you have USB and network connections from one computer to the same printer. On the other hand, you shouldn't have any issues to have one computer connected via USB and another connected wirelessly to the same printer.

  • CAN PHOTOSMART 5510 WORK IN BOTH MODES-USB AND WIRELESS TO PRINT FROM I-PAD OR I-PHONE 4S.

    SEPPLES86,
    In order to print from your I-Pad or I-Phone you would need to be connected through wireless. Air Print works when your printer and device ( ipad or iphone) is connected to the same WI-FI network.
    Here is a link to a post with a lot of good information concerning Air Print.

  • Mighty mouse usb and wireless issues with OSX 10.6.1

    Since upgrading to OSX 10.6.1 I have experienced intermittent mighty mouse issues with both the USB and wireless mouse. Essentially the mouse works as a pointer. However, I cannot select anything or use the mouse buttons. I need to re-start the machine in order to get it to work properly again. Anyone else had this issue or have suggestions for fixing it?

    Pushing the power button briefly on my iMac turns off the display and stops the hard drive running (both my internal and external drive). Pushing it briefly again brings everything back up in about 2 seconds - it's not a full startup. That's why I call it "sleep" - cause that's what it seems to be doing.

  • How do i use my HP 4500 as USB and wireless?

    Hi
    I have my printer set up as wireless. This is fine for mobile devices like my tablets but only 50% of the time it works from my Windows 8.1 PC.
    How do i change so it works for USB on PC and wireless for tablet etc?
    I tried to resinstall set up cd as USB connection but everytime i keep getting errors and being asked to reinstall disk. It didnt work, so i set it back to wireless only
    Please help asap!
    Many thanks 

    Welcome to the HP Community @Sav1 , 
    I understand you are looking to connect your Windows 8.1 computer to your Envy 4500 via USB connection, and keep the printer on the wireless network for your other devices. This method should work for you however, you may have better luck downloading and installing the printer for the USB connection through the download on our website opposed to using the installation disk.
    Click here for the drivers, and run through the USB installation set up. Remember to only plug in the USB cable when the install asks you to connect it: HP Support - Software and Driver Downloads
    If you run in to any issues or errors, let me know what they are saying exactly and I will do my best to help you through them!
    Good luck

  • 5510 - prints via USB and wirelessly but can't print emails from ePrint on iphone

    Just installed new Photosmart 5510. Prints fine via USB (main computer) and wirelessly (laptop) but I can't print anything from ePrint app on iPhone. HP ePrint Home & Biz works from iPhone but it doesn't have email printing function!

    Hi Andy760,
    From your iPhone, printing email would be from Apple Airprint.  With your email open, touch the action button and select Print.  You might have to select the printer, but it should print fine at that point.
    To send email to print by using ePrint, you would forward the email to the printer's ePrint email address.  Have you registered the printer on www.eprintcenter.com?

    Hi,
    Before Christmas 2011, I ran few tests and I've posted elsewhere on this forum. My printer is a different model but I believe same technology. My tests indicated we can connect printer using BOTH wireless and USB. Printer will show busy/not available during direct print (ie USB) but it knows job(s) is/are on the queue and print after that.
    One thing I could not test successfully: scan and print at the same time.

  • Can I use a usb and wireless keyboard at the same time on a mac pro

    I wish to use the Mac Pro USB keyboard for Logic shortcuts and the Mac Pro wireless keyboard for normal typing etc. Is this possible?

    Just as Matt has said, the Mac uses "all devices active" philosophy with keyboards and pointing devices. It does not automatically Switch to a later-installed device, it uses them ALL at the same time by default.

  • Trying to use a P1102w both USB and wireless

    I am running two desktop computers.  #1 is Windows XP, quite old, with no network connection anymore.  When I first got my P1102w, it was setup using this computer and the USB connection.  #2 computer is Windows 7 64-bit, with wireless capability.  Up to that point, my router was set up to be unsecured, no password.  With the new Windows 7 online, I decided to be careful, and so I secured the router with a password.  At that point, I lost the wireless capability for the P1102, seemingly because I couldn't figure out how to teach it to enter the password.  It still works fine for the USB/XP connection.  I just lost a Canon Pixma ip90v printer due to old age and apparent hardware failure.  I have a new Canon Pixma ip110, which has wireless capability.  I decided to get the router access straightened out before trying to hook up another wireless printer.
    The fact that my USB connection comes from a computer with no networking might make it hard to setup the P1102 for wireless.  Should I move my USB to the Windows 7 machine to get the network and printer all setup, and them move the USB back to the XP so that I can print from there?  I also have a laptop that I would like to use via wireless with both the printers, if I can get it all setup the way I want.

    Hi @Dave-P1102w ,
    I see that you are having issues setting up the printer again over the network with encryption. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    I would reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
    Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
    Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Windows 7 computer.
    Then run the Wireless configuration to setup the printer on the network again.
    Go to Start, All Programs, HP, HP Laserjet P1102w, then select Wireless Configuration.
    Run through the steps to configure the wireless.
    Then disconnect the USB cable.
    Test the printer on the wireless network.
    For the Laptop, just run the Add Printer Wizard from Devices and Printers. You will need the CD or you can just connect the printer to the Laptop and the automatic Smart Install will load and install the printer.
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • T43 - Lost USB and wireless after full system restore

    Hi,
    I've been struggling to get my work system back online for two days now.  It's a T43 which had become unbearably slow so after 3 years I decided to blow it away and use the system restore to set it back to factory.  However as seems to be the case all around, factory in this case means...nothing works and you have to manually install all of the drivers.
    I upgraded my bios to 1.29 and embedded controller to 1.06
    I installed drivers for every device and after a full day of futzing finally rid my device manager of unknown devices (mostly)  Here is a shot of it...
    Device Manager
    However the most troublesome things have been wireless and USB.  Given that I had no idea which wireless device was in my system I tried updating the driver through device manager and pointed it at each of the three available wireless adapters on the Lenovo T43 drivers page.  The first two I tried were rejected, but the third one took and the device finally started.  However, when I point it at my wireless network it just keeps switching back and forth between "Not Connected" state and "Aquiring address state".  I finally disabled it.  This device worked fine as did my wireless hub prior to the system restore.
    Worst of all however is my USB.  After first doing the restore, all of the USB host controllers were unknown.  I could find no specific driver for them on the Lenovo site so I just right clicked on each of them and selected "update driver" and let it find whatever it could for them.  Low and behold they all popped right up one at a time and were identified along with the root hub.  At that point two new unidentified "other devices" were enumerated, one being my printer and the other my USB Western Dig backup drive.  The hard drive's power turned on indicating a signal from USB, however it never popped into the list of available drives in My Computer.   I was able to install the Samsung printer drivers from CD which took the printer out of the list of  "other devices", installed USB printing support, and set up the printer in the "my printers" directory.  However I can't print to it.  Print jobs just sit in the queue and the printer acts like nothing is happening.
    It's terribly frustrating because all of my backed up work and environment settings is stored on my USB drive.  If I can't get USB working again, I'm in serious trouble.  Thus far, I've tried disconnecting the devices and reconnecting (it makes a system ding but nothing else happens).  I've tried uninstalling all USB devices from the manager and then doing a scan to reinstall them again.  Both times I've tried this, the devices once again come up as "other devices" and I have to repeat the earlier steps to get them property identified.
    I can't find any excuse at this point these devices not to be working.  Can anyone please offer any further suggestions?  If I was unclear about anything I'll be happy to clarify the problem.  I'm despertate to get this thing working again fast.
    Thank You !!

    OK, let's try the older one:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62875
    You may want to delete the entire Win subfolder before installing it, though.
    Now, honestly, I don't quite understand why recovery disks would skip this driver. I've restored hundreds of T43/p machines and have never encountered such an issue.
    Good luck.
