Hp photosmart 4795 will not print wireless. have done updates, checked drivers, uninstalled

HP photosmart series 4795 won't print wireless. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, checked drivers and done HP updates. Still won't work. Unchecked print offline so it will print online..... running out of options on how to correct. Any suggestions on what to do next are appreciated... thnks

OK, let's start with this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...
What does it say?
I suspect it may be your Symntec firewall, but let's see what the utility says.
Have you restarted you router lately? Does it have updated firmware?

HP C4740 will not connect wirelessly to HP desktop

I have an old HP desktop (prob Pavillion) running Win XP Pro w/ SP 3. I have 2 MB RAM. I purchased an HP C4740 AIO printer about 6 months ago. At first it hooked up fine and performed very well in wireless mode. Then when replacing an ink cartridge one of the retainer tabs broke. Long story short I had to replace the unit. HP gladly did so and I got a brand new one.
When I got the new one I hooked it up and installed the software exactly per the instructions for use as a wireless printer. Unfortunately, no matter what I do it will not connect to my wireless network. The only way to use this printer is via USB cable. Two things happen that I find interesting: it does not recognize the printer (even thought it's connected by USB cable) and it doesn't recognize my wireless network (even though it does recognize another unknown network). Even when I try to manually enter my network SSID and Passphrase it will not recognize it. I have also tried unsecuring the network but still no success.
The network is secured but I have the SSID and passphrase information. For reference, I have a Dell laptop and Lexmark printer that connect without issue. My iPhone 4 connects without issue. This C4740 will not. I have uninstalled the software and even gone into the registery to locate and remove any entries associated with this printer. Still nothing works in wireless mode.
Need help. I am by no means a computer expert, especially with networking. I know enough to be dangerous but still make it through the day! I'm ready to toss this and pay the much higher price for the much more usable Lexmark! Only problem is I'm just cheap enough that I'm willing to try to make this printer work.
Thanks!

Hi,
Download the latest installer software for your printer on the link below and save it to the Desktop.
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL28119/mp-71555-3/PS_AIO_06_C4700_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175...
Next download and install Revo Uninstaller from the link below.
http://www.revouninstaller.com/download-freeware-version.php
Disconnect your printer from your PC.
Run revo and use it to uninstall your printer software. Right click on the icon of the program you wish to remove and select Uninstall. During the process you may be asked to delete registry entries, just select all and then click delete. Do the same for any left over files and folders. Once the uninstall has completed, reboot the PC.
Temporarily disable any security software ( Antivirus and Antispyware )
Now try running the software installer from your Desktop by double clicking the installer. Do not connect the printer to the PC until the software asks ( Whether wired or wirelessly ). If everything install Ok, remember to enable your security software.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
DP-K

OFFICEJET 4622 WILL NOT PRINT WIRELESSLY AFTER MULTIPLE TIME TRING TO INSTALL mutiple times

My printer will not print wirelessly. I see that it is installed and the firewalls are turned off but it will not print

Hello phdavid53,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand your Officejet 4622 will not print wireless. I will do my best to assist you! First, I would like to ask you a couple of questions to clarify: When you installed this printer on your computer, were you able to print a document? Did the installation state it had a successful wireless connection?
I would recommend following this entire HP document on Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
What is your operating system on your computer? Windows or Mac?
If you were never able to install this printer over a wireless connection through the software, then please follow this HP document on 'Unable to Find Printer' Error Message Displays on the Computer During a Wireless Network Installati.... I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

Out of no where, will not connect wirelessly.

I just purchased a Windows 8 pc. However, I take such good care of my techie things I still have an old Toshiba laptop about 8 years old, maybe a little less that runs just great, it's just the technolgy was getting a little behind. It's the old style "tablet" that has the swivel screen and was considered "heavy" accord to our standards today.
The Toshiba Satellite (circa 2005) laptop is an XP with all the updates and service packs. I keep it lean and clean with Advanced System Care, have for months with no problem. It was always used to connect wirelessly.
About the middle of February I switced from Verizon slow DSL to Comcast because we have no other choice for a faster speed. No FIOS. But, I've come back a full 180 to Verizon. However I did get a new modem, the latest advances. It's a D-Link ADSL2+ (DSL2750B) Supposed to run 3 to 6 times faster than the old Verizon modem I had. When I first connected to the DSL I turned this laptop on, connected wirelessly and it was there great going! I was even hitting almost the top speed I am provisioned for wireless. The modem is only 2 feet away but still. I turned if off, turned my attention back to the new Windows 8 machine for a day couple of days
Then I wanted to go back and check the Toshiba XP and revel in it's great performance on this new modem .... drat!! It detects all local stations, even of course mine, but when I try to connect it tries but fails and jumps to a neighbors DSL. I can however connect with the Ethernet cord.
I've been using this Toshiba Tablet for months with a USB wireless adapter just fine that a friend gave me. In fact either the internal wireless adapter and the USB worked with not a problem but tests seemed to show his gift of the adapter was a little faster, so I use it exclusively.
So neither wireless adapter, internal or USB will connect to my modem. I even tried pressing the WPS button on the modem, the one that's lets someone near log on without a password.
So there it is. Can anyone have a clue why this worked at the first and now won't? Also, all other pc's, including a netbook with XP and a new small android tablet are connecting no problem. It's the Toshiba laptop alone that for some reason ...
out of no where, will not connect wirelessly. Is there an easy fix than uninstalling drivers? But why would both adapters get a corrupted driver at the same time? I hope there is help here. Thanks so much for reading this and consdering my situation. Jack ":-D

Since the computer can connect with the neighbor's router, I don't think there is a problem with wireless connection on the computer. So it has to be some configuration or settings problem with the new modem. I would check the encryption of the new modem. If the computer can see the modem, but not connect, my thinking is that the encryption is blocking the connection. Temporarily disable the encryption on the new modem and see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't, you may want to check the advanced settings on the modem and compare the IP settings on the computers that work versus the one that doesn't.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Will Not Print Wirelessly

Hi. I have read other threads on this forum with suggested fixes from HP employees and tried them. I have run the tool which found no errors. My firewall is off. I have installed the latest Adobe and uninstalled then reinstalled the printer software. I have followed instructions in book re: turning off computer, router, printer, etc. I can see the IP address for the printer in IE.
Still, this brand new printer will not print wirelessly or otherwise from my hp laptop. VERY frustrating. I have spent hours trying work arounds for a brand new computer. I would greatly appreciate a response regarding how to resolve this problem. Thank you.

I have seen cases where a troubled install went through flawlessly after the computer was reimaged. That may be an option to consider.
I did want to make sure that you had the most current firmware version and it looks like you do.
Before a reimage, you could uninstall Officejet Pro 8600 programs (if there are any) and download and install the drivers for your printer from hp.com. Click here for the HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver. By doing this, you would have the most up-to-date drivers. Sometimes a download will work where a disk does not. It you do decide to reimage, I highly recommend the above download for the installation.
Let me know what happens.
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

Upgraded iMac to ML and can print wirelessly to HP5200C, but Mac Book Pro, which is not yet upgraded to ML will not.

Do you have the latest HP drivers, available from Apple here, on your MBP?

I am assuming (hoping!) you mean you have installed the Epson iPrint app on one or both of your iPad and/or iPhone, and Epson iPrint does not detect the printer.
If that's true, then Mavericks is definitely not the problem! Neither the iPhone nor iPad (nor Epson iPrint) rely on Mavericks.
Hunt for your printer using Epson iPrint. Make sure your pinter is on, tap "Scan", then tap the gear-like icon in iPrint to hunt for it.

The play button in music will not engage

The play button in music will not engage. Just stays on pause. Also no sounds on the iPad.
I have done all the usual checks with volume, mute etc, need help.

Sounds like a software issue. Restore iPad via iTunes.

Since upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 both Internet Explorer and Firefox will not recognize the numbers keys of my keyboard. I get numbers in Word and every other situation, just not in the internet programs.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

HT1695 Ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday, but MacBook Pro still finds and uses these networks.

Our ipad will not find wireless networks that it used yesterday. Our Mac Book Pro finds them and uses them.
we have reset the cable modem and wireless router, turned off the ipad and turned it back on. Turned wireless off and back on.
but it just spins trying to find networks but finds none.
What do do next?

Settings for wireless network connections are actually stored in two separate places on your Mac, so in addition to the correct advice offered by Jolly Giant, you will also need to delete old network listings in KeyChain Access.
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
Locate the name of the wireless network that you want to delete and click it to highlight it
Click Delete on your keyboard
It would be a good idea to go ahead and also delete the current connection as well in case it has become corrupted. This will clear out the old settings and when you next connect to the network and enter the password, the new settings will be preserved.

My Canon MX922 will not print wireless or wired.

My CANON MX922 printer will not print wireless or wired. I used suggestions in Community such as "MX922 not connecting wirelessly, 7-6-15, post 1362, 10-17-15". (No solution). I worked with a great rep., by phone,for one hour. (No solution). My MG6220 has worked wirelessly, for two years, on the same Lenovo computer with Windows 7. THANKING YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP ME.

I tried that and the computer still can not recognize the printer. I used the CD that came with it to reinstall it and all goes well until the very end when the last window pops up and says it can not find the printer.I went and bought a new printer last night Canon MG5622 since it uses the same ink cartridges and I have a lot of of inkI didn't want to waste. This printer installed easily and works great.Not sure what happened with the other one but perhaps I'll pass it to my sister with the CD and see if it will install onher computer.thank you for your help, you're awesome for trying!Diane

I updated my IPAD 2 to ios 7 and now it will not connect wirelessly or recognize my blue tooth devices

I updated my IPAD2 to ios 7 and now it will not connect wirelessly or recognize my blue tooth devices

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Printer setting will not engage.

Made several large images on new R3000. On next image after opening "print" window, the printer setting button will not engage allowing me to change size or select paper. I'm working in the Mac with CS 5 and also new to this program.

Try switching the color management from "Photoshop Manages" to "Printer Manages" and back. This causes a reset of most of the "Print Settings" and will frequently resolve these problems.
If that doesn't work, try resetting your preferences and printing a new document (not an existing document that you have printed before), since the Print Settings are saved both in the document and in the application preferences.
We don't (yet) have an R3000 in house to test against, so I can't offer more than that, but there's one on order, so if you still have problems, hopefully we'll know if there's something specific to that printer or its driver pretty soon.

My HP D110 will not hookup wirelessly

My HP D110 will not hookup wirelessly to my new router. MAC address is disabled. Is there anything else I can do?

Hello Snowcap3,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you are unable to connect the Photosmart D110a to your network, are you getting a Mac Filtering error when you try to connect?
What type of router do you have? In the past I have been successful in power cycling the router and attempting to connect again. If the router has a power button press that, if not, remove the power cord for 1 minute and connect back. Allow the router to boot back up and try connecting the printer again.
Look forward to seeing if that has helped.
Cheers,
JERENDS
