Very slow printing via wireless to HP 6500E710n-z

I have a home network consisting of a Toshiba Satellite A105 laptop running Windows XP SP3 and connecting to the router by wireless communication, My son's desktop gaming computer running Windows 7 and connecting to the router by Ethernet Cable, and my Gateway Computer running Vista and connecting to the router by Ethernet Cable. The printer is connected to my computer by USB and the printer's wireless communications is turned on and connected to the router without any errors. The router is a linksys E3000 and the Toshiba laptop connects to it with an excellent signal strength and can surf the internet with no problems. The worst signal level I have seen on the printer wireless is level 2 out of 5 and is normally better.
When I try to print from the Toshiba wireless to the printer, it will print the first page in less than 20 seconds and then stop. I have waited for 20 minutes and it still did not print another page. The printer display says "printing" and it will print a line every 10 minutes or so, but that is it. Sometimes, it will print 2 pages very fast in the beginning, then not print any more for a long time. I don't know how long it would actually take to finish printing because I get tired of waiting and cancel the print job ( I have waited for as long as 20 minutes though ).
When my son prints from his Windows 7 gaming computer, which is wired to the router, it is the same way. The first page or two will print very fast, then he said he has waited for 10 minutes and it did not print any more.
When I print, the print speed is OK because I am using USB connections. I spent 2.5 hours on the phone this afternoon with HP Technical Support ( in India I think ) and they adjusted the print spooler on the Toshiba, and other stuff, but said the problem was with the router. They also said I should not call Cisco because they will deny that the problem is with the router. I do know that I can shut down both wired computers so the only job the router has is the Toshiba laptop and it does not help at all. The printing is just the same as when all 3 computers are up and running.
HP states that this printer will work at up to 300 feet wireless, and I am 25 feet from the router with the laptop when trying to print and the router is 25 feet from the printer and the laptop is about 35 feet from the printer.
We purchased the HP 6500 two weeks ago and my wife says "take it back to the store". I like the printer and want to get it working, but if this is the best I can do then I guess it will go back to the store.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

I have a wireless network via cable modem with some PCs attached and a printer but am having trouble connecting my new MacBook to the HP LaserJet 2100 printer via wireless. I do not have airport express and not sure I need it to have the MacBook print to this printer. Please advise.

Hi topgunner,
How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

Problems Connecting Computer & Printer Via Wireless

I've recently just bought a HP Deskjet 2544 printer. I've installed the printer as per all the instructions, however when i tried to install this via the wireless it could not find the computer even though it was connected to the wireless in the house. Because of this problem, I was able to install via the USB cable.
Since installing I can print only via the USB cable. I've went back and tried to connect the computer and the printer via wireless and everything is telling me they are connected (i've ran a systems report and all the lights are on, on the printer), however I keep getting the same messafe "unable to connect to your computer".
Any ideas how to fix this, so that I can print wirelessley?
Thanks
Claire

I cannot find the 'WPA passphrase' to connect my printer via wireless and cannot find it in Airport utility (MAC says it cannot find any open airports)

MAC OS X 10.6.3 - desktop Mac
I browsed similar questions and saw that someone recommended going to the Airport Utility and then selecting manual set up or something- anyways, it could not find any airports. I have brought my printer from my house as my BF's has died - this is the first time it's asked for a WPA passphrase. We tried a very long series of capital letters and numbers as well as the password for the internet and both times the printer said "invalid passphrase"..... ......

Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
I think they're using ethernet.
To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

Printing problem-new HP Laserjet P2015 and VERY slow printing-

I have a new HP Laserjet p2015, and while it does print, it is VERY slow—typically about 1 page per minute even for plain black-and-white Word documents. Much time spent with HP support, even got a new new machine… they're out of ideas and think it might be OS related…
Where do I begin to troubleshoot this?
Printer is connected directly to computer via USB.

I have downloaded new drivers, removed and added the printer multiple times, etc. As I mentioned, I've spent a few hours with HP support, tried new USB cable, even got a new machine. They now believe it's something with my system.
Any reason to believe that reinstalling my system software will help?
By the way: Printing from Text Edit is not faster. Or if it is, not very. In any case, it's not a realistic solution

Very slow printing from vista PC to PSC1355 on XP PC

My wife has a Vista laptop which connects wirelessly to my home network.
There is a PSC 1355 connected to my PC which runs XP.
The printer is shared and can be seen from the vista machine but when trying to print from the vista machine it is extremely slow in printing and viewing the printer`s settings. Also if the shared printer is setup as the default printer then the vista machine is very slow opening any MS office document.
I`ve searched all over the place for quite a while to try to resolve this problem to no avail. The printer can`t be setup on the vista machine because of it`s location.
Any ideas?

Linksys E4200V2 - VERY Slow Performance-WIRED, WIRELESS, INTERNET SPEED

Hi everyone... I just want to start by saying that I am a very unsatisfied customer!
I purchased the Linksys E4200 V2 on 02.06.2012 since this is the latest high end router from Linksys which according to the specs and the reviews this router is supposed to be super mega fast...the box should probably say SUPER MEGA SLOW.
I called support and after spending two hours on the phone they said that the case will be escalated and that someone will contact me within 48 hrs - It has now been more than 72 hrs and no phone calls or emails have come my way - the router is still not performing.
The following is my setup:
HP Quad Core Desktop with Windows 7 x64 bit with 8GB RAM
Network Card is an integrated 1GBPS card
I've upgraded all of my ethernet cables to Cat 6 (to see if this made and difference - which it did not)
LinkSys E4200 V2 router
Western Digital My Book Duo Live 6TB external drive with ethernet port of 1GBPS
This weekend I went as far as reinstalling a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64 on a Solid State Hard drive
My PC is connected to the E4200V2 via Cat 6 cable
The My Book Duo is connected to the E4200V2 via Cat 6 Cable
The E4200V2 is connected to my cable modem via Cat 6 Cable
ISSUES:
WIRED
I am getting no more than 20mbs when I copy a 85GB folder from my PC to my external My Book Duo. I expected to get either 1GBPS speed or at least 400MBs speed since all devices are connected via 1GBPS interfaces and the cables ar Cat 6. I am using both the native windows copy and paste and I am also using TeraCopy to copy files.
WIRELESS
The wireles speed is BAD as well - I am not getting no more than 50MBS with my laptop located just 20 inches from the router.
CABLE MODEM CONNECTION
When I run speed tests to the internet I am getting a very slow speed test of 1.5MBS and sometimes I get 20MBS with the E4200V2 router.
With my OLD Netgear router I get speed tests of 28MBS and never 1.5MBS.

Hi there,
I've got a very similar problem.
I've got the Cisco Linksys E4200 (Firmware Version: 1.0.05 build 7 Aug 23, 2012).
With my previous router, I was able to copy files over the wired network at roughly 11MB/sec (about 100Mbps).
Now, with the new Linksys router plugged in, with the same cables and pcs, etc, I can only get an average copy rate of 4.4MB/sec - under HALF the speed that I was previously getting - and often sustained slow speeds of roughly 1.8MB/sec
Any ideas???
Otherwise I'm returning this router for something else!!!
I can see that you already have the latest firmware. It might be that the firmware is corrupted. What I can suggest is to reflash the firmware, reset and reconfigure the router. You might as well try to disable WMM.

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.

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra

Laptop printing via wireless to HP Laserjet M1217nfw without a wireless router.

I want to print from a laptop via wireless to a HP Laserjet M1217nfw.
The location means that there is no wireless router involved.
The manual suggests that there are two possible methods if no wireless router is available.
The first one is an ad-hoc or peer-to-peer network as described on page 9 and 10 of the supplied User Guide.
I appreciate that one laptop does not make a network so I configured two laptops to connect over an ad-hoc network with all security turned off to make things as simple as possible.
Both laptops have APIPA addresses and are connected.
I then tried installing the printer via USB and also via CD and the printer cannot detect the ad-hoc network.
In the configuration page the Communication Mode is set to Infrastructure and cannot be changed.
Also there is the issue of how the printer can get an IP address as it does not seem possible to provide one for the wireless manually.
I am starting to wonder if the manual in incorrect and the ad-hoc connectivity is not available.
The second option might be to use the Direct Print Configuration although this is more for smartphones I believe. I have briefly tried this method but the supplied driver from the CD cannot detect the printer. Perhaps a special driver is needed.
Having spent a considerable time on this I am beginning to wonder should I give up and send the printer back or is it actually possible to get this to work in the manner that I need.
Thanks for any help.

Do you have the ad-hoc network hosted by one of the computers? It sounds like you are trying to add the printer to an ad-hoc network.
Newer printers (not certain when this changed) do not support the printer connecting to a hosted ad-hoc network on a computer. Sorry.
However, the computers should be able to connect to the printer's ad-hoc network for printing purposes. On the computers, there should be a network SSID that has HP in the name (possibly print, printer model, or setup). If you connect to this network, the printer should be able to be added to the computers. However, the computers may not communicate with each other as the printer isn't really intended to connect multiple devices to each other.
You mentioned page 9 and 10 of the manual. I reviewed page 9 and 10 of the manual and it did not mention anything about any network settings. This came much later in the manual I had found for the M1217nfw. Is the manual I linked the same manual you have?

Can't connect PC and Mac to print via wireless network

I have the HP Office Jet All-In-One 6500. I've never been able to get both my Mac and PC to print wirelessly.
First, Mac worked fine wirelessly, then had to print via ethernet for PC. Then that quit working for PC. So I uninstalled printer drivers on PC, reinstalled and it works great printing via the network.
However, now my Mac -- my main computer -- wont print. It spends hours "connecting....." MacBook running Leopard OS 10.5.8.
Why can't both computers access this printer over the same wireless network? Absolutely NO settings were changed on my Mac from the time it worked, until now. Only thing I did was get the PC to work.
I've tried turning the printer off and restarting.... didn't help.
I bought this wireless printer so that both computers could use 1 printer.... I don't want to have 2 printers for my little office! Please help HP!

First, please look on the label underneath the router and let us know the exact model and hardware version of the router. Also check which firmware you are running on the router at http://192.168.1.1/ and verify that you are actually running the most current firmware. You can find out which is the newest firmware on the downloads page of the linksys website.
Second, is it possible that you used the Mac before to connect directly to the internet without the router? In that case it could well be possible that the Mac is still doing so, connecting to the internet itself, bypassing the router and thus terminating whatever internet connection the router established before (which the PCs were using).
Third, after being kicked out, please check the following in a command prompt window on the PCs ("Run..." and enter "cmd"). "ping 192.168.1.1" you should still get replies.
Fourth, what is the IP address and gateway address which the Mac gets when getting online?

Very Slow BB and Wireless Signal Dropping

Hi, I have a HomeHub 2 which has worked reasonably well over the years. Recently my BB speed seems pretty slow and the wireless signal keeps dropping every 5 seconds or so.
We have several laptops in the house (not all online at once) and this problem affects them all. I have installed inSSIDer and it shows 6 other hubs in the vicinity.

Can anyone make any suggestions as to how i can sort this problem as it's driving me nuts.
Thanks in advance.

Hi the link was produced byanother of thecommunuty members Keith the link has now beennoved to another server as the BT web space in no longer available I will ask him to repost his link to you
You do seem to have a lot of wireless in your area which is making it very difficult to have a completely free channel all you can do is find a channel that has the weakest signals on It and try that hopefully Keith will post the link and maybe some further ideas
