Using Wireless Direct on HP 8610

I am installing an HP8610 for a senior in a senior citizen's home and have an issue.
The Senior's home does not offer wired internet, only free wifi. This couple have their three devices (iMac, iPad and MacBook Pro) on the free wifi. All come up with different subnets 10.225.xxx.xxx, 10.216.xxx.xxx etc.
When I installed the HP8610 I got put on another subnet 10.223.xxx.xxx and the computers cannot see the 10.223.xxx.xxx because of the way the routers in the building are configured.
I thought I just could enable wireless direct printing without a password since the HP8610 should show up at 10.223.xxx.xxx and at 192.168.223.1 (for this printer). If I set the computer's wireless to search the HP wireless direct, it sees it and can print to the printer. However, you have no internet at that point because you have disconnected the free building wifi.
What options do I have to leave these computers on building wifi and still have access to the wireless direct on the printer? Is there an Apple App which will port the printing? Or do I have to figure out a router within their apartment which will put the printer and all the devices on the same subnet?

Hi @captainlaser
When you install the HP8610 on the other subnet, 10.223.xxx.xxx, are you able to enable the Web Services? If the printer is on a network that provides it with internet access, but the devices can not see it, you can use ePrint to print. I know this might not be the most convenient approach but it may be a suitable workaround.
HP ePrint is a free service that allows you to print documents and photos from any mobile or network-connected device (such as a phone, laptop, tablet, or other mobile device) to your HP ePrint-enabled printer. Each HP ePrint-enabled printer has its own unique email address. After you enable HP ePrint on your HP ePrint-enabled printer, you can print from your mobile or network-connected device by sending an email to your HP printer's email address. With HP ePrint, you can print from anywhere, at any time. If you can send an email, you can use HP ePrint.
Important: To use ePrint, your HP product must be connected to a wired (Ethernet) or wireless network with an active Internet connection. You do not need to install any applications or drivers on your mobile device.

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition; Wireless Direct Printing Issues

Good day everyone. The subject refers. I have been trying to connect my tablet to my hp printer (LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw) using wireless direct printing without success. What normally happens is when I try to detect the printer through wifi on the tablet, the error message I get from the tablet is "Network disabled because internet connection is slow". What can I do???

Hello OgoOluwa,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Regarding the troubles getting the Wireless Direct connection working with a Samsung Galaxy Note, does this error display only on the Wireless Direct network?
I have not been able to reproduce the error, but I have found something that addresses the error on another support site that might be worth a try.
Getting "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" during setup<--- Not a HP support site, nor is it related to a printer, but the error is the same and follows suite with a connection issue with a Samsung product.
Let me know if this suggestion is helpful.

Photosmart 6520 Wireless Direct

I have no desktop to install the software but I'm hoping to be able to use Wireless Direct without the router. The Wireless Direct function has been turned on and My iPad has found the Photosmart printer but when I tried to Airprint my photos, nothing comes out of the printer. Not a problem with printing emails but no luck with photos. Why?

Hello ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
When printing from the Photosmart 6520 from an iPad, whether it is Wireless Direct of over a network, the printer will need to have photo paper loaded into the tray (4x6) when printing photos. Try installing and using the HP ePrint App on the iPad.
HP ePrint<---
Let me know if you are able to print a photo using the ePrint App.

How to Change Wi-Fi Channel Used by Wireless Direct on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium?

I would like to change the Wi-Fi channel that is used by Wireless Direct between my Lenovo laptop and my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium to reduce interference from other nearby users of Ch. 6 in my condo complex. (I am not using a wireless router setup to connect to the printer.)
Is this possible? If so, how?

Ah... ok. You are using the Wireless Direct with the printer. You computer is wireless to channel 6. That is all you can do unless you changed the router's wireless channel which will only automatically switch on your computer.

Laserjet 200 will print via wireless direct but intermittently (once) via wireless network

Tried various troubleshooters on Hp and Apple websites to get this working consistently.
Installed new drivers for OSX Yosemite 10.10 - thought all would work fine as went through installing, printing test page etc. Then printer becomes unavailable - although it is on the list of printers.
Same thing has happened variuos times after re-installing it.
Will print directly via USB and wireless direct - but I want to print via the wireless network.
tried all the usual things - making sure on the right wireless network, restarting everything etc.
Using an airport router - are there some settings on this that may be causing an issue - odd though as will print once when initially connected to the wireless network.
Any ideas?

Hi @iphonebore,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Laserjet 200 M267NW will not stay connected to your wireless network running Mac OS X 10.10. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print. (Follow the steps for Mac OS X 10.7, and 10.8, as they will work on 10.10.)
Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. (This will help you with maintaining the wireless connection.)
As well, please see this post, Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports, by @VisionAiry, and verify that none of these ports are being blocked by your router.
One more place for some more wireless printing information is our HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues website.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

Using SG300 directly as a router?

Hello, I am building a new home with several Cat6 ethernet ports wired throughout (at least one to each room) and I want to connect them all through a rock-solid reliable gigabit switch like the SG300 or SG200. I am also going to use wireless N (something like the E4200) but I would prefer not to use the wireless device as the router since I want a solid, reliable connection from my ethernet-connected devices and the Internet and I honestly don't trust consumer-level devices like the E4200 to be reliable without dropping my connection. I have computers that need a constant VPN connection and I have other computers that do bittor...umm, network intensive activity that usually bring wireless routers to their knees
So what I would really like is to connect the internet cable modem (Ubee) directly to the business-class switch (SG300 or SG200), and have that business-class switch do the routing and NAT to my entire network, and I'd just use the E4200 as a wireless access point. I'm not a network admin and the idea of the CLI scares me, but I can probably use it to at least switch the SG300 to Layer 3 mode...that looks simple enough. I'd definitely want to use a web GUI for everything else. From what I've read, the SG200 is a Layer 2 device so it couldn't be used as a router, but can the SG300 in Layer 3 be used as a router connected directly to the cable modem? Will it support NAT and UPnP and all of the other features that the E4200 would (minus the wireless of course)? For example one thing I will want is to be able to have multiple XBoxes connected to the switch all with an "Open NAT".
If the SG300 can't do this, what's the best rock-solid business class device that I can connect directly to the cable modem that will support things like UPnP and NAT?
Thanks everyone in advance for their advice!

Hi Alan,
Interesting comment "'ll probably be moderated for this"
When this community was setup years ago, I recall that the moderators for this segments said they wouldn't censor.
There were a few exceptions, unless you were rude and used foul language or were obviously demented.
So you can have your say.
Plenty of contributors , probably including myself may be moving towards demented in our thoughts. But until we all get really loony Alan, your free to say what you want. II's all healthy discussion.
I have seen many "interesting' posts but I suspect your post will remain for years to come. Once on the Internet, our comments and discussions are left to embarrass us for years to come.
regards Dave.

HP Wireless Direct Print

im using my new hp laserjet pro 300 with Wireless Direct Print. i can use the wireless direct print feature great with my iphoe as well as my android phone. advertisements suggested that i would also be able to print from my wireless laptop using the HP Wireless Direct Print feature. was i mistaken?

Install the HP eprint Mobile Driver
Download the driver from www.hp.com/go/eprintmobiledriver.
Launch the installer and follow the instructions in the install wizard.
Register the HP ePrint Mobile Print Driver
Registering the driver to the Windows or Mac computer is required for the HP ePrint Mobile Driver to send print jobs from your print client, into your ePrintCenter.com account, to an HP ePrint enabled product registered to ePrintCenter.com. For direct IP printing from a Windows client over the local area network to a supported PostScript device, ePrintCenter.com registration is not required and is therefore optional if web-based printing is not required.
ePrint Credential Setup
This default option presented during installation guides you through enabling the HP ePrint Mobile Driver for web-based printing. When presented with the HP ePrint Registration option within the HP ePrint Mobile Driver, you are asked to enter an email address and Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you skip this step during driver installation, you can access the registration option again from the user interface of the installed driver.
Email
The HP ePrint Mobile Driver registration process asks you for an email address. This email
address is used by ePrintCenter.com to send a system-generated Personal Identification Number required to register the HP ePrint Mobile Driver to your Mac or Window client. The email address you provide can be the same email address used to create your ePrintCenter account, or any other email
address that you have access to read received emails.
PIN
The registration process sends a Personal Identification Number (PIN) from [email protected] to the email address entered into the HP ePrint Mobile Driver registration screens. Supply the provided PIN to the HP ePrint Mobile Driver. Registration status is provided through the user interface (Success or Fail). Click OK from the Registration Successful acknowledgement screen. The credentials provided during registration are saved for this computer, which enable the print client to send print jobs from any installed application on the Mac or Windows system.
The system can now print to registered HP ePrint-enabled products.
Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!

Photosmart 5520 connected but no wireless printing nor wireless direct / Mac OSX 10.6.8

Hi, I've got the Photosmart 5520 installed a few weeks ago and after the set up wireless printing was working fine for a day, but never since. My computer runs on OSX10.6.8 and the modem is a MOBILE Wifi E589. The printer is connected to the network, network test results came up fine, i can choose the printer wirelessly in the printmenu but then get the message: Unable to connect to printer / Network host busy alternating. The network test result comes up fine, no issues. Ive unplugged the whole lot and restarted it (modem/compuet/printer) without success. Wiresless direct doesn't seem to work either. What's next??
Thanks heaps in advance!!!

Hi @Kimaschi,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you cannot print with your HP Photosmart using a wireless connection, or wireless direct on your Mac OS X 10.6.8 computer. I am happy to help!
I would recommend to go through the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Mac OS X.
Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Also I believe this website, Wireless printing center, has a lot of useful information as well.
A couple of questions, if you don't mind:
Do you see any error messages on the printer's control panel?
Can the printer make copies? Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
Have you tried printing using a USB connection? If so, does it print?
Hope the guides help, and hope to hear back from you soon!

Cannot send emails on Q10 while traveling using wireless

Q10 PROBLEM I am on Rogers wireless using a telus email address. The incoming server setting is Telus and out going is Rogers wireless, While in Canada I have no problem receiving and sending emails. When I travel I do not buy the data packages I rely on wireless connections and with the Q10 I am not able to send using wireless when I travel. I have tried changing the outgoing server to telus in those situations but it still will not send, In the last month I have tried it in Jamaica and in Vegas with the same results...will not send emails I receive fine. Other people must be having problems? Rogers has been useless directing me to a solution, Help.

Thanks again...... I will take another run at Rogers and see what happens. I am not sure I guess when you say hosted but I will ask that whan I speak to Rogers.
You will know by virtue of the email address format. If it is @BB, @Rogers, @Telus (@Carrier), or something else that seems to point to either BlackBerry or a specific carrier, then indeed it is a hosted email account.

I have had the same email account at Telus for ever and all other BB devices I've had used the incoming and outgoing from Telus but this device will only work sending if I use the rogers outgoing server so I end up with a teuls incoming and a rogers outgoing
I don't understand that at all then. If this is a hosted email account, I can see no way for it to ever function on any BB device other than a) a legacy BB device and b) a legacy device that is actually operating on the original carriers network. I have never heard of a hosted email account being directly usable (e.g., no forwarding involved) on any device for any other carrier. So perhaps this isn't hosted after all...but still, I have also never heard of any restriction to use the carriers outgoing SMTP server only.
I believe that perhaps I do not actually understand your exact situation.

Printer wireless direct internet windows

just to verify: On my PC running WIN 7, I can not BOTH
print via wireless direct (WD) on my 3510
AND
access the internet on my wireless home network (WHN)
unless I:
(using WIN 7) switch between the WD network and the WHN network
or
manually disable WD on the 3510 ?
This is inherent in the WIN7/WD implementation? Yes/no?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Indeed by connecting to the Wireless Direct network you will not have internet access, that is an expected behavior:
Wireless connection issues > How do I print wirelessly without a wireless router? > Downsides to peer-to-peer networking:
Your computer can only connect to one wireless network at a time. When it is connected to your printer, it cannot also connect to a wireless router (for Internet access, for example).
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/wireless-printing-center/faq.html
To gather full network functionality you will need a router to connect both the printer and the internet.

Wireless direct print 3250 series

I am trying to set up the wireless direct print feature on my 3250 series all-in-one printer so that I can print wirelessly without a router. I have followed all of the instructions online. I have turned on wireless direct on the printer and have connected to the wireless direct name on my computer. However, I can't get my computer to actually print anything wirelessly. Please help!!!!

Hi a45,
What device are you using to connect the 3520?
If using a computer or laptop, you have to install the printer drivers in order to use direct print or scan: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-search.html?tab=1#/qryterm=3520||&searchtype=s-002
But if using an iPad, tablet, or other mobile device, printer driver install is not required.

C306g PhotoSmart printing slow using wireless

Printer would print very slow to not at all when using wireless. Wired directly to my router it would perform as expected. I am using a Cisco Linksys E3000 N router with simultaneous Dual-band (2.4 & 5.0 GHz). Hp found the dual band was causing the issue. Found this printer will only operate under the 2.4 GHz. Had to disable the 5.0 GHZ to make the wireless function work. Also make sure the channel selection of the router is set to eleven (11). Channel default setting is six (6).
I do a lot of video streaming to multiple devices (TVs, Laptops, DVD players). This change did not seem to effect the performance of the other devices.

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I hope you have a pleasant experience here. I understand you are having an issue with slow printing on your HP Photosmart C6150 All-in-One printer. I'd love to help you with this. First, I'd like you to try printing a self test page again: HP Photosmart C6100 All-in-One Series - Printing the Self-Test Diagnostic Page If the test page printed in less than 60 seconds, then I would suggest following the steps here to troubleshoot the driver and settings on your computer:HP All-in-One Printers - Slow Printing in Windows: Computer Issues If the issue persists after these steps, I'd recommend replacing your USB cable (with a smaller one if it is over 6ft long). If the test page took longer that 60 seconds to print, then I would suggest following the steps here to troubleshoot an issue you may be having with the printer hardware:HP All-in-One Printers - Slow Printing in Windows: Hardware Issues Another thing I would suggest, if the printer is slow even from the printer, would be to make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. The printer does have a power moderator built in, so when plugged into a power surge or battery backup, it can often not get enough power. Please respond to let me know if these steps help to resolve your issue!Have a great day.
