WEP Password Is Too Long and Photosmart Premium C309A Will Not Accept It

When I click on "Network Setup Wizard" it finds my wireless network with no problems. Then, it give the the space to put in my WEP password; unfortunately, the password is one character longer that it will allow me to put in, and so it will not connect to the network. I read somewhere else where someone said that you shouldf be able to go online and do that; I have been unable to find such a feature. Can someone point me in the right direction?

First of all, do not use WEP. It is not secure, and can be broken by freewares within minutes. Use WPA encryption with a 13+ character key which is alphanumeric and has a special character.
However, if you still want to use WEP, then try this other method of providing the WEP key: Start the software installation for the pritner on your PC. Select the connection type as Wireless connection. In the next screen, it will not find your printer Just click on Next and select the option 'My printer is not connected or not sure'. You'll be prompted to connect the USB cable between the printer and the PC. Once this is done, you should be able to pick your wireless network and type in your WEP Key on the PC and proceed.

    My photosmart C 4750 will not accept glossy paper for printing pictures.
    Vista OS 32 bit.
    Paper jams completely with either single or multiple sheets.
    No changes to the system. Plain paper feed just fine.
    Thanks

    Hi antonaki,
    Did your printer accept glossy paper before and just stopped working with it ?
    What kind of glossy paper are you using and what is the weight ?
    Here is the product specs for your printer and a list of the types and weights of paper you can use.

  • We have 2 itouchs, we a separate itunes account for each one. We have one home computer to use them both on for syc and icloud, the icloud will not accept the 2 accounts?

    we have 2 itouchs, we a separate itunes account for each one. We have one home computer to use them both on for sync and icloud, the icloud will not accept the 2 accounts?

    Do you know what happens if you delete the icloud account from an iphone 4s?  Will it delete the pictures, documents, etc. from the phone, or just unlink the icloud from the phone?  I want to associate a different icloud account to the phone.

  • My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    My old iMac and OS 10.4 will not accept the New iTunes Version 10 application and I can't get past the screen offering to download iTunes 10.  This is wrong and I need help getting past this situation. Help!

    Sure, you can get around it if you don't need the newest version of iTunes. I still use version 7.5 because the newer versions didn't strike me as offering anything I needed.
    If you do need a version 10-something then you will have to upgrade your operating system to Leopard (fi your computer will support it) at least.  If you need 10.5 for some reason then there's no getting around it, you will have to buy a new computer.

  • I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!

    I have been given an Apple 3G which is in jailbreak.  After restoring and updating my phone to get rid of jailbreak the iphone will not accept any updates or restoration. Unknown error 1015. Please help!  I am new to all this and want to start using the phone legitimately.

    I believe from the situation you describe your iPhone 3g has the iPAD baseband 6.15.00 which is interfering with iTunes. Remember Apple does not allow downgrade of software typically. The current 3g firmware 4.2.1 has a baseband 5.15.04 which is lower than, what I believe your baseband is of 6.15.00. So to install the current 3g firmware 4.2.1 would actually be a baseband downgrade, which iTunes will not allow. So to fix your iPhone you will have to search the Web like diesel vdub said. There are no parts to buy and your iPhone will work again I promise.

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • HP Photosmart Premium c309a does not print black

    My printer does not print black ink, and when I print documents, it prints blue in its place.  The cartridge worked fine yesterday and is over half full.  Nothing new was installed on the computer that is used to print.  I have tried cleaning the printheads several times, including manual cleaning, to no avail.  I have printed test pages and those only come out in blue.  Would like some help as I need to print several documents for customers.

    The document here has troubleshooting steps that may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart c309a.  Be sure to check the vents.  If the above does not resolve the problem the post here may help.

  • 4s will not accept email password

    My 4S iPhone will not accept my email password even though it's the correct one, which was varified through my Macbook Pro. I went ahead and changed the password, and still the iPhone will not accept the new password! What should I do? Would you recommend deleting the e-mail on the iPhone and re-entering?

    Delete the account on your phone then set it up again.

  • IPad will not accept new Enterprise password

    I normally am able to access my workplace email (via Microsoft Outlook Exchange) on my iPad. I was required to change my Enterprise (and Outlook) password on my workplace computer. Now iPad will not accept the new Exchange account password which renders all other functions on the iPad inoperative. How do I bypass that Exchange password prompt?

    We have similar issue with our corporate ipads.
    Enter the new Exchange password then reboot the iPad. Exchange should accept the password after reboot, seems to be some peculiar quirk!
