Using a repeater with Photosmart b109n wireless printer

I use a Fritz!Wlan repeater on my network. The installation wizard for HP wireless printers cannot resolve which network SSID because there will be 2 of the same thing listed. In this case it will say "Looking for Network" endlessly. To resolve this I had to disconnect my repeater, go through the entire wireless install using the wizard and the USB cable, turn off the printer, plug in the repeater and then turn on the printer. This took a long time to figure out just in case somebody else runs into the same issue although probably not a common thing to have a repeater in your house.

It is not possible to use another router as repeater ....because the main router will generate signals wirlessly .... the second router will also generate the same network name SSID ..... but connected to that signals you are not able to go online ......
The router will only make you online if it is connected to the Internet Cable at internet port on the back .....
So the kind of network you are looking is not possible using two routers ..... but you can use one router & one range extender (WRE54G) to extend the range or you can use Access Point (WAP54G) to repeat the signals .....

Dell Dimension desktop sometimes won't communicate with my HP Photosmart 6510 wireless printer

At random times, when trying to print from Dell Dimension desktop to HP Photosmart 6510 wireless printer, I get a message that the computer can't communicate with the printer. The printer shows that it is connected to the Internet. I haven't changed any settings. Each time this happens, I unplug the printer and router, but it doesn't fix the problem. After about 20 minutes or so, it prints normally. It always happens at the most inopportune times. Any suggestions about how I can keep this from recurring?

These settings are for setting up your wireless printer to stay connected to your router, keeps wireless devices better connected and makes your router secure and hack proof.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (see step 6) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
    printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
    Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
6. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
8. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 5 mins. Power on router wait 3 mins.
9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.

HP Photosmart B109n-z (printing problem) please help

Hi all,
I have the HP Photosmart B109n-z printer and have it set up wirelessly and it works fine I've had no problems with it.
The other day the black ink stopped working - the cartridge isn't empty but it's no longer prinking black on any documents. I have since put all new cartridges in, it recognises them all, including the black one, and if I'm printing something like a word document then it moves as if printing but the page comes out blank - no black ink is used.
I work for myself and work from home so need to get this resolved asap.
I've checked the cartidge - it's good.
I've checked the connection and print cartridge bay - they're clean.
Please help.
The colour is working fine.
The black ink issue is the same whether printing, scanning, or copying.
And I have tried turning everything off and on again!!!
This question was solved.

Trouble connecting HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer to D-Link router

We just installed our new all in one modem/wireless router that we received from Verizon yesterday. The computers connected fine but our HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer will not connect. We tried many different things. It connects fine when using the new D-Link with our old wireless router connected. It will also connect to the modem if there is no security encryption. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you!

HP sales usb wireless adaptors. 1315v has a USB connection, I believe.

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

I have a HP Pavilion dv 2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer.

I have an HP Pavilllion dv2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer. They have worked well together until I reformatted and added Windows 7 on the laptop. I went online and downloaded the Windows 7 Printer Wizard. It recognizes my printer and says it has been installed. I have followed their directions and plugged USB cable into printer from laptop. It prints that way. How can I get this to print wirelessly?

OK, is your US Robotics router a DSL modem/router? Is it yours or your ISP's?
Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.1.100 to .199 Let's use 192.168.1.220
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. <<<<This is important!
- Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Photosmart C6280 Wireless Printing setup on a new Windows 7 - 32 bit machine..

I am able to print wireless with Windows XP machines in my home office on the Photosmart C6280 all-in-one printer. I have installed all of the Windows 7 - 32 bit drivers from hp.com. I have connected the printer and printed successfully through a USB cable with my new machine. I am able to see the wireless printer that I would like to select. However, I am unable to connect to it and print with like I was when it was USB connected.
I receive the following message when trying to select the printer I would like to select ....
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied."
Any thoughts or suggestions ??

I have a notebook with Windows 7 and have successfully installed this printer via USB.
I also wish to use it wirelessly as I did with Vista and have gone to Devices nad Printers in the Control Panel to Add the printer wirelessly,
It finds the printer at 192.168.1.2 and installs ok.
When I ping 192.168.1.2 it replies ok
However, when I send a print to it wirelessly it keep giving me an error.
I tried turning off the firewall to no effect.
When I go into the Printer Properties it shows the port as being 192.168.1.2 and is set to Raw.
Please advise what is wrong here.

HP Photosmart 2610xi wireless printing problem

I have a HP Photosmart 2610 xi All-In-One printer that networks through a Netgear 600 Router for Macs. I have had the printer connected to the router through a USB cable connection versus Ethernet and it had worked very nicely for a long time.
We have had a couple of days where the power to our house has gone on and off several times. After this, my IMac first and then my MacBook Pro laptop will not print wirelessly to this printer w/o printing page after page of a 2-line computer code of gobbledygook. The OS is OS 10.9.1. I have to cancel printing to stop it going through lots of paper. The printer will print if directly connected to a computer and my computer still wirelessly prints fine to a Canon airprint printer.
I have noticed that an older MacBook Pro laptop with an older version of OS 10 will print wirelessly without this problem, so it looks like a potential problem with the newest OS version and the printer.
How do I solve this problem? I'd like to use this printer wirelessly as I did before. I have tried to troubleshoot this and not luck with my efforts. Thanks for any help.

I believe that the only way that you can use the scanner without bonjour is by connecting it to your computer through a USB connection instead of a network connection.

Unable to connect EA4500 with HP 1525NW wireless printer

I recently switched from an old linksys router to a new EA4500. Before I had no trouble connecting my wireless HP printer using the WPS setup. However with the new EA4500, I tried multiple times without success.
Here is a solution I found online. It works. I had to use the original installation disks that came with the printer to reinstall the software and manually - using a USB - connected my printer to my wireless network.
Method three: Standard connection using a USB cable
If your wireless router does not support WiFi-Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this method to set up the product on a wireless network. Using a USB cable to transfer settings makes setting up a wireless connection easier. After the setup is complete, disconnect the USB cable.
Insert the software CD into the CD drive.
Follow the on-screen instructions. When prompted, select the Connect through a wireless network option.
Connect the USB cable ( ) to the product and the computer when prompted.
CAUTION:
Do not connect the USB cable until the installation program prompts you.
When the installation is complete, print a Configuration Report to make sure that the product has an SSID name. Follow these steps to print a configuration report:
Load plain white paper into tray 1.
On the product control panel, press OK , and then press OK again to select Reports .
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to scroll to and select Config Report .
When the Configuration Report prints, disconnect the USB cable ( ) from the product.
You have completed the software installation. Do not perform any more steps in this document.

Well it's never recommended to do WPS setup for printer. Following the manual instructions like you posted is the best.

Can I use an old UFO Extreme for wireless printing?

Greetings, I have a new airport extreme base station managing my wireless network, but I am still printing wirelessly from a Macbook Pro by sharing a printer with wired a G4 desktop. (my 'main' BS is in the basement, G4 and printer on the 3rd floor, connected to the BS via ethernet). I have an older UFO style base station gathering dust that I'd like to use for wireless printing by having it sit next to the printer and connect to it via usb, join my existing network wirelessly, and, well that's it. Essentially I want it to be an airport express, so I can print wirelessly without the G4. Is this an easy/possible setup? What settings will I have to change on my 'main' airport BS as well as the UFO? Any guidance you can give me I'd very much appreciate. Many thanks in advance, and sorry for what I suspect is a dumb question.

Badlyva, Welcome to the discussion area!
The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) can not join a wireless network like the AirPort Express (AX) can. But you could configure your new AEBS to act as a WDS main base station and the old AEBS to act as a WDS remote base station. The bad part is that you would need to use 802.11g and the WDS link would cut your available wireless bandwidth in half of that.

Using airport extreme to share a wireless printer

I want to share my wireless printer with a pc laptop located elsewhere in the house. I cannot send documents to the printer via the laptop. Is it necessary to connect my airport extreme device to my printer via a usb cable? And then what must I do if that is the case? If not, how do I get the pc to talk to the printer?

Is it necessary to connect my airport extreme device to my printer via a usb cable?
No, not if your printer has wireless capability. I assume that your Mac is printing OK using wireless, correct?
If not, how do I get the pc to talk to the printer?
That would be a question for the support folks at the printer manufacturer. They will likely ask if you have setup the PC for printing capability. If not, they should be able to provide some tips for this.
