Windows 7, C6280 and Wireless Printing

I have a C6280 model printer which I previously used with a laptop running Windows Vista. I recently purchased a new laptop that runs Windows 7 and I cannot get my printer software installed on my new laptop. When I try to install it, it displays an error message says that the software is not compatible. I am aware that I am able to download a newer version of the software from the website which should work but this is to print through a wired network. I need to be able to print wirelessly as I did with my old laptop.
Does anyone know if the software that I download from the website will allow me to print wirelessly?? If there is software available on the website that will allow me to print wirelessly, can someone please direct me to it or tell me what keywords you typed in to find it??
Thanks for your help,
Natasha

Please give me the model number or product number of your model to suggest you the correct Windows 7 Wireless Driver.

    The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
    Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
    Read up the issue.

    I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
    The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
    It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
    Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

  • Network Magic Pro 5.5 keeps dropping my router and wireless printer ...

    ...multiple times per day.
    WIN 7 Pro 64-bit, SP1
    Network Magic 5.5.9195.0-Pure0
    Motorola Surfboard  model SB6120 Cable modem
    Windows Firewall configured by Norton Security Suite 6.2.1.5
    Linksys WRT54G2 router ver.1
    My problem is as stated in the header.  My router needs to have the power cycled multiple times a day because it is dropping my internet access.  This problem did not occur until I purchased in installed Network Magic.  Also, the wireless printer needs to have the cycle powered almost as often.  I've had both the router and wireless printer for more than 2 years and never experienced this problem before installing Network Magic
    I manually changed my MTU setting to 1472 from Automatic.  This has not helped.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    From what I know, the network magic software won't affect your internet connection since it is just  a software to use to manage your network. You may want to isolate the problem first. You can try uninstalling the network magic software from your computers and try to observe your connection again.

  • Windows 7 and Wireless Printing

    We have two xp machines that print fine to a wireless printer through wireless sonicpoints. But when we print through the W7 it only prints half a page and restarts. The printer is completely recognized on W7, I have turned off and on the Windows firewall and made exception. I'm wondering if there is some issue between W7 and the Sonicpoints. The sonicpoints have been recently upgraded on their firmware Any help would be appreciated.

    OK, sorry about that.
    Do you have a security system firewall that you can disable to test (Norton, McAfee, etc.)?
    I assume you can type the printer's IP address into a web browser and "see" it?

  • Notebook using Vista and wireless print server and HP5500 printer problem

    Installed std vista local driver for hp5550 printer with usb cable direct to printer.  Works ok
    Then, disconnected usb copper line to HP labtop and connected it into print server in router (D-link router to HP5500 printer).
    Installed wireless network driver in labtop (vista os)(no updated hp driver available for Vista on HP site).
    Print jobs just stack up in the que.
    Used 192.168.0.1 address (which works fine for my other old win 98 computer).
    Driver using the "raw" setting not "LPT"
    Print Sharing is enabled.
    Any suggestions?
    p.s.  The wirless system works fine on an old windows 98SE computer using the original 5550 installation disk. 

    Went back and installed the "Windows 2000 Print Server Software (from D-link Router 824vpn).  I assume that this included the USP Shareport program that was recommend in a thread.  I can now access router wirelessly.  However, wireless print jobs go into que for hp5550, que emptys, but printer does not start up.  Copper usb from printer to computer works fine (as separate printer)sta.  Using HPdeskjet 5550 (HPA ) printer, port 192.168.0.1, printer name/ip 192.168.0.1, protocal 9100, raw setting, port 9100, LPR and SNMP are both blank. Any suggestions (OS is Vista).  No drivers from Dlink or HP for this application.  Thanks

  • HP DeskJet 712c Driver and Wireless Print Server Setup

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro and am unable to setup my printer to print. Previous to using the MacBook Pro I was using a windows machine without any trouble printing to this printer, however now I can't locate the printer on a list of pre-installed drivers for Mac. I've already checked HP's website and was unable to find any drivers that were for Mac OS. What is a good alternative driver source? Once I do get the driver what would my next steps need to be to set up the wireless print server to work with my mac?
    Printer: HP DeskJet 712c
    Wireless Print Server: D-Link DP-311P
    I would be grateful for guidance to go about this process so that I can use my printer again.
    MacBook Pro 2.16GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    HP-provided drivers don't support network printing. You'll need to install Foomatic (a PPD interpreter), ESP ghostscript (postscript translator) and the 712c PPD from:
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/macosx/foomatic/
    http://www.linuxprinting.org/showprinter.cgi?recnum=HP-DeskJet712C
    Then, since we don't have the auto-setup software for OS X, you need to review the print server manual and find out which IP printing protocol to use. The easiest is HP Jetdirect (called TCP/IP raw port printing in many manuals) if it's available, because it doesn't require the device queue name.
    Good luck.

  • HP ENVY 114 all-in-one d411c and wireless printing.

    I have a HP ENVY 114 all-in-one d411c printer connected wirelessly and a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1237 which is also connected wirelessly to my NetGear N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router.  The problem is that the printer, according to the desktop computer, is constantly going OFFLINE.  I have tried reinstalling printer software, ran the Print and Scan Doctor, etc. with no luck.  I think the problem is with the desktop computer because I also have a HP Pavilion dv7 notebook which is also connected wirelessly and it can print all day long with no problems, never goes OFFLINE.  I don't know what else to do.  I recently upgraded both computers to Windows 8 Pro.  The printer worked fine when I was using Windows 7 Ultimate.  I need some suggestions, Please.  Thank You in advance.

    Sounds like you are having issues with your printer going offline? Now is this actually inhibiting your printing? Because if the printer is in sleep mode it will register as offline. If you ARE having issues with printing, then we can check some of the setting on the router. Here are its specs :
    http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netgear-n750-wirel​ess-dual/4507-3319_7-34467825.html
    Here I can see that there are potential hazards, I would recommend contacting Netgear and making sure that the router is broadcasting on the 2.4GHz range, and that it is set for 802.11g and not 802.11n wireless. These could effect your printer's responsiveness. 
    Run this diagnostic tool :
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03286146
    And as a last bit, you might want to consider setting the printer up with an Ethernet-network connection and seeing if the issue is with the method of communication. 
    Let me know and I will get right back with you! 

  • Problem with Time Capsule and Wireless Printing (Mac+PC Mixed)

    I have a time capsule that is the wireless router for the house and my iMac and laptops use the wireless network beautifully. I installed a Dell 1320C color laser printer by connecting it to the usb port on the time capsule. The airport express utility did NOT recognize any USB printer connected to the time capsule. I was however able to wireless print from my iMac by asking the printer utility to find all available printers which it did and then installing the printer drivers (thanks google). So, while i cannot find my printer as being connected to the time capsule through the airport utility, i can find it through the print utility as a connection through bonjour and i can print just fine to it.
    Now i installed bonjour on my laptops and found and selected the 1320c just fine. When i try to print through the laptops (pc), nothing happens and the file stays in the print queue.
    I am willing to live with the first quirk as I can print wirelessly from the iMac. I however need help to print from the laptops.
    Any suggestions?
    thank you so much in advance

    1) see the printer on my iMAC - what utility do I run etc?
    It is connected to your network. Check your printer setup manual on how to set it up. Or go the the Dell website for printer support if you can't find your manual.
    2) can i then run bonjour from my windows laptops and see the printer through the network?
    Via ethernet, it shouldn't need Bonjour to set up.

  • Airport Extreme and Wireless Printing

    Okay so i know that you can make wireless printing by simply connecting your printer to the airport extreme. However I have a wireless printer and i read somewhere that the extreme does not allow the wireless printer to be discovered when used with the extreme. I want to know if this is true. I currently use a linksys router and whenever i print something, the first time takes forever for it to detect the printer. I am hoping that a newer router will help but i want to know if the extreme does support wireless printers.

    Same issue here. I recently upgraded to an Airport Extreme and can no longer print wirelessly. Before this router I used a different brand of wireless router and had no issues. When I go to the printer itself, an HP OfficeJet 7410, and look for networks on the little display it can see mine and the neighbors. However, when I tell it to join the network it gives me an error message along the lines of "Cannot join this network." New network password has been entered.

  • Spot On Networks and wireless printing with AE

    I moved to a condo that supplies internet access through Spot On Network's built-in wireless connection.
    I am used to having a DSL provide internet access which was connected to an Airport Extreme that also acted as a wireless router to my printer.
    Now that I connect to Spot On for my internet connection, I no longer have the capability of using my airport extreme as a wireless router to my printer, since I cannot be connected to BOTH Spot On and the AE.
    Or can I? Does anyone out there know of any way of using both a Spot On connection and an AE connection for my wireless printing?

    I have the same problem. Uninstalled software, installed what I thought was the right software. No go. Reinstalled first software so I'm back to at least printing wired.

  • Windows 8.1 and Wireless showing 'limited'

    Hi there,
    I have a bought 2 HP Pavillion 500-152ea Desktop computers and need to connect with wireless to a router.
    The computers were bought for our business and it has been a dissappointing start.
    I have installed windows 8.1 and it has now caused major problems with the wireless connection.
    The wireless connection is now being shown as 'limited' and no internet access is allowed.
    Can you help me find a solution to this please?

    Hello hassy79,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand you are having wireless issues after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would recommend that you restore your computer back to Windows 8 and ensure that ALL Windows Updates and HP Updates have been installed before you install Windows 8.1. I have seen this issue many times and it results in a wireless issue.
    As well when you do the Windows 8.1 upgrade go into your Device Manager and disable the wireless card. After the update has been install go back and re-enable it.
    You will find the latest drivers for your computer running Windows 8.1  on the HP Pavilion 500-152ea Desktop PC Drivers page as well.
    I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Mavericks and wireless printer

    I use an hp laserjet 2100. I have used it WIRELESSLY with a mac since mac osx (leopard all the way through Mountain Lion). I plug the printer  into a hub which connects to an airport extreeme base station. This old printer has worked wirelessly and nearly flawlessly for all of these years. With Mavericks it won't connect. I would be grateful for a fix. BTW: Mavericks does let other printers which ARE NOT NATIVELY WIRELESS print with the same setup as the HP 2100--connected thru hub into airport.
    Thanks.

    Hi Lilly4,
    I can certainly help you get the printer on the network and working again.
    Follow the steps in this thread to put the printer on the network without using the software or the WPS button. I believe  we have success doing it this way.  
    If you continue to experience an issue after the printer is on the network, please let me know. Thanks.
    Hope this helps.

  • HH5 and Wireless Printer

    Just had my HH5 delivered, all up and running in terms of the access to the web, email client, and wireless devices such as TV and Ipads etc but I cannot get my wireless printer to work.
    The printer can see and link to the hub, the printer shows up in the printer section of the network on the BB Desktop help screen, but I can't seem to see the printer in the Wireless device list under the Hub admin application.
    I have been trying all sorts of people to help who are telling me all sorts of issues that I have done and still no success, I don't particularly want to pay £30 for a "tech expect" to show me a box that I haven't ticked or unticked or something like this which really should only be a 2 minute fix.
    My HH4 and printe worked fine. ANy ideas anyone?

    It is linking to a 169.254....... Ip address, the printer seems to be fine in connecting to the actual hub, just the bit after that doesn't seem to work.
    I will try your suggestions when I get home this evening and let you know how I get on, many thanks
    Ben
    That is not a valid home hub address, its a default local address, issued when the printer cannot get a valid IP address from the home hub, due to a connection failure.
    It will not work with this configuaration.
    Did you delete the old wireless connection from the printers setup, and then rescanned for the new hub, and entered the new wireless key?
