Windows XP can't connect to OfficeJet 4630 during installation

Just bought a new OfficeJet 4630 and am very excited to use its wireless features. I got it connected to our in-home wireless router (Netgear) very easily, typing the WEP key right into the printer's keypad. I was subsequently able to install it on my DELL Latitude, from which I can print wirelessly or plugged in to USB, as well as cloud printing and ePrinting. Test pages, alignment pages, etc., all have printed just fine. My wife's acer netbook is another story. She's running Windows XP and has hit a major snag in the installation process. Whether we install the software and drivers from the internet download location specific to the OfficeJet 4630 or with the included CD, it makes it past the step of installing software but encounters an error when it is time to connect to the printer. The software has us choose whether to connect wirelessly, over USB, or later, and following the on screen instructions for either wireless or USB leads to the same error: The computer is unable to connect to the printer at this time.
During installation, when we choose to connect wirelessly and the installation software shows us a list of network printers to choose from, the OfficeJet shows up and we can select it - we can also find it by typing in the IP Address (10.0.0.9) into the Advanced Search bar. We can type the IP address into the web browser and see the printer's EMS and edit various options. We've made sure that my wife's computer is on the Workgroup MSHOME (since I read somewhere that OfficeJets only like to work on that workgroup and not any others). I've followed every other possible instruction given by either HP or these forums (disabling firewalls, startup services, uninstalling and re-installing HP software, etc.) and still, every time, a connection error whether we use Wi-Fi or USB.
We are getting really desparate to use this beautiful machine to its fullest potential - someone please help!

What is the IP address of your modem?  What is the IP address of the router?  With a 10.x.x.x IP tells me you may have a double NAT situation at home.  This basically means your router will change it's IP to 10.x.x.x because it's default IP is the same as the modem. Connect just to your modem and what is the IP?  Now connect JUST your router, no other connection to the modem, and what is it's IP? 
You can use a cmd prompt and just type in ipconfig.  What is listed as the Default Gateway for both?

  • Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp on W2K12 RDS, but Windows 7 can connect. Why?

    Hi!
    Windows 8 can not connect RemoteApp (W2K12 RDS), but Windows 7 can connect. Why?
    External and internal DNS name is different, the public Cert is mapped to RD Web Access and a RD GateWay Role.
    The internal cert (issued by enterprise ca) is mapped to RD Connection Broker roles (SSO and Publishing).
    These certifications also be installed on client computers (Personal and Trusted Root Certification Authorities).
    The internal CA revocation list is publicated to a website and this web site is accessible from internet. Ports (3389,3391,443) forwarded to RDS server.
    On windows 7 everything works fine, but Windows 8 can not connect to Remote Apps. Windows 8 can connect to RDS server via Remote Desktop Connection.

  • Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

    As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on.  My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required.  When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password.  The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP.  Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products.  I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

    I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
    Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
    I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
    If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.

  • Can't connect HP Officejet 4255 to Airport Extreme

    I can't connect my officejet 4255 with the newly bought airport extreme base station. Anybody help?

    In System Pref. on your Mac, under Printer Setup Wizard (it may be in Utilities, Im not 100% sure - just check both) when you click on Add Printer (or the '+' sign) click on Bonjour printers, and you should see your printer there (make sure it is connected to your AEBS via USB first)

  • Can't scan on Officejet 4630 all-in-one

    Hi all - help required please.
    Recently bought an Officejet 4630 All-in-One Printer and had nothing but trouble setting it up and using it. After several set up attempts, all is just about in order although I still can't scan from the control panel on the machine (I can only scan by going through 'system preferences' under the apple icon).  Every time I try to scan from the machine's control panel (as opposed to going through system preferences), using either the wireless network (Airscan or whatever it is called) or the USB cable, I receive the following message on my laptop screen:
    Task not Available
    The "Photo (JPEG)" task found on your device is not available on your system. Please select another task.
    The same thing happens if I try to scan to PDF. I am using an old (c.2007 MacBook Pro) that runs of OSX10.9.5 Mavericks. Internet connectivity is not a problem as we have good cable broadband. All I want to do is scan directly from the printer to my computer, preferably using a wireless connection. Please help.
    Thanks

    It can connect / connected.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    This is a known issue with Windows 8.  You need to upgrade your firmware to 7.0.250.X for wireless clients running Win8. 
    Another thing, choose one:  Either WPA or WPA2.  Don't enable one and "hope" the wireless client will make the choice because most of the time, they won't.

  • My iMac 5.1 with Windows XP can't connect with Time Capsule

    The iMac can connect with Mac OS but not with Win XP.
    Can see the signal, but can't connect.

    The TC uses names that are not SMB compatible by default.
    Change all names.. TC itself and wireless if you use it to short.. no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security with passkey of 8-12 characters and same rules.. no spaces pure alphanumeric.

  • Windows XP can't connect to the SMB service of the OS X 10.5.6

    Hello,
    I can't connect a XP to the SMB server OS X. The XP could see the other pc's in the network and when I share a folder I could access it from the mac enviroment. The 2 vista machines could access also without any problem. Only the XP is a problem...
    http://files.image4you.tv/Clients//wimvanroy/Afbeelding%203.png

    Guest is off (when on I could connect..)
    Advanced:
    Latin US 437
    workgroup master browser selected (horizontal dash)
    Homes: enabled
    WINS off

    I'm so mad I could spit. I've had similar problems for a year and a half, and have periodically gone back to beat my head on the wall with no effect...UNTIL TODAY! I found this little nugget:
    "*After you turn on File Vault, you cannot log in to this user account for SMB file sharing or printer sharing.*"
    The message appeared when I clicked Apple:System Preferences:Security:File Vault, then turned on File Vault and entered my password. ONLY THEN did the msg appear.
    The reason I was turning on File Vault was that I had just started to use Time Machine on a mac on which I turned on File Vault 2 years ago. In order to use Time Machine I had to turn File Vault off and then back on in order to upgrade it to a newer version, compatible with Time Machine.
    This warning does not appear anywhere in OSX Help and it is not in Apple's tech support FAQs. I did find it in the Tech Support section after I knew what I was searching for, but who would know to search for "File Vault AND smb" when their Win XP machine could not connect to the Mac. I sure didn't...
    Apple needs to make this issue much more prominent or, even better, FIX IT. I'm sure thousands of users have the same situation as me - a PC at home or work and a portable Mac for every day use, keeping the Mac secured with File Vault. There must be some way to allow a manual login via smb, or something, which would then allow a PC user access to encrypted files on the Mac.
    I hope this helps everyone! Someone! Anyone! Buehler!

  • Can't connect to 11g XE after installation

    Hi,
    I recently installed Oracle database 11g XE onto my home computer running Windows 32 bit, but I can't connect to the database. I also have Oracle 10g R2 installed on my computer, and I can still connect to it finely. When trying to make a connection in SQL DEVELOPER, I get this error

    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor ORA-12514 ALWAYS only occurs due to a problem on DB Server system.
    One cause of this problem is when the Oracle database is down & needs to be started.
    A remote client send a request to the Listener asking to be connected to a specific service.
    If/when the listener does not know anything about that service, the listener responds with ORA-12514
    post results from the following two OS commands:
    lsnrctl status
    lsnrctl service
    Since every connection request to the listener gets logged, listener.log file will contain a line with 12514 as status code.
    This line contains valuable debugging details. So post this line & surrounding lines.
    for additional debugging suggestions read the URL below:

  • Message 'computer unable to connect to printer' appears during installation of laserjet p1102w.

    During installation of wireless software for Laserjet P1102W on computer with XP Professional (pk2), the message ' printer was able to connect to wireless network.  However, this computer is unable to connect to the printer.'   I verified the computer and printer both connected to same named network with same WEP , open, key, etc. credentials.  I have a linksys connected to the computer and cable modem. When I connect using the USB connect wire to the computer directly, I can print.   Both software, wired and wireless, were loaded.  My HP Inkjet printer is wired to the linksys and works for multiple wireless network computers. Do I need to have a different printer? I thought i could still have a truly wireless printer!?!  I am a novice at this.  Thanks for any assistance you can give.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I called HP support.  The tech was very knowledgeable and helpful.  The HP Smart Install program (in printer and on CD) that came in the box  was an old version.  I needed to reset the printer back to factory default and  download the new firmware from HP.com internet site. 
    The older software had an incorrect router address (network). You can see the router (IP) address when you do the Self Test (holding down the 'on' button) under network Information.  The IPv4 address should be the same as your router.  Now my printer and computer are looking at the same network. 
    Works great!  Love this LaserJet.  Faster than my last HP LaserJet 4L.

  • Mac can not connect to OfficeJet 6700 while windows machine can ...

    Hello all.
    I have an HP Officejet 6700 for more than a year. It is connected to a wireless network (Netgesr wireless router), both Mac an Windows PC printing and scanning successfully until yesterday…
    Since yesterday the Mac cannot print or scan, while windows machine still works fine …
    Mac OS version is 10.9.4
    I changes the printer from DHCP to static IP, I deleted the printer from the Mac and installed it again from the HP site but at the HP Utility I get stuck in the Add Officejet 6700 (08B0D2) Bonjour Multifunction with an “Unable to communicate with the printer at this time” error message.
    Again all of this while windows machines communicate and work perfectly fine.
    Any idea?

    Hi @AmitFish,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to connect your HP Officejet 6700 Premium to your Mac, everything was working fine and all of a sudden you get a communication error.
    I would first like you to make sure you have installed all Mac updates, please run the updates and let me know if this helped?
    If not, please complete the steps listed here: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection, I know you have previously set a Static IP, please continue and let me know the outcome.
    I will watch for your reply.

  • Windows 7 can't Connect to Time Capsule HD

    I have recently purchased a 2TB Time Capsule.  I've successfully connected it to my Mac Pro and my Windows Vista PC (no issues).  I've also added a new Windows 7 PC to the network.  The Windows 7 PC connects wirelessly through the TC with no problem will not see the TC HD.  I've installed the Airport Utility on the Windows 7 PC and all seems to work fine.  I've tried turning off the Firewall Windows 7 PC; no help . 
    I can't access the TC HD from the Windows 7 PC?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    There are a number of posts related to accessing and/ copying issues between Windows Vista / 7 and AirPort Disks. Two potential solutions being forwarded are: 1) Changing the LAN Manager authentication level, and/or 2) Disabling the Windows Search feature.
     To change the LAN Manager authentication level:
    From the Windows Vista / 7 desktop, click Start
    Search for: security
    Click 'Local Security Policy'
    Goto Local Policies > Security Options
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
    Change level to: Send LM & NTLM responses
    Under Policy, double-click 'Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including RPC) clients'
    De-select 'Require 128-bit encryption'
    Click OK
     To disable Windows Search:
    Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs & Features
    On the right-hand side, click "Turn Windows features on/off"
    Scroll down, and de-select "Windows Search".
    Press OK, close all windows and restart.
     A third "solution," that has worked for me, is verify that both the AirPort base station and the Win7 PC are using the exact same Workgroup Name. In my case, I use "WORKGROUP" (without the quote marks) for this name. From the AirPort Utility, you would enter this value on the Disks > File Sharing tab. On Win7, Start > Control Panel > System and Security > System > Change Settings > Change > Workgroup 

  • Windows computer can't connect

    I have a airport extreme 2011.
    So it connects with my ipad, imac  and iphone but i can't seem to get it to work with my dell laptop.
    It can connect wired but can't find it when its wireless.
    I turned of windows firewall
    and turned to the wireless channel to 1 but still nothing.
    Got any sugections.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    First of all, I would like to suggest that you must use “domainname\username” for entering into RD web access. In addition, please check collection Properties of security setting.
    • Security Layer
    • Encryption level
    • Allow connection only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication.
    For test purpose, please low down the security level and test the issue again. 
    1. Set Security layer to "Negotiate” 
    2. Set Encryption level to "Client Compatible"
    Please refer below article and snap for more information:
    Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Security
    Apart from this you can try to download and install RDP 8.1 for Windows 7 and check the result.
    Update for RemoteApp and Desktop Connections feature is available for Windows 
    Hope it helps!

  • Windows 7 can't connect to SMB share

    Hello, my windows gaming PC won't connect to my shares on my mini server, the server is clean installed just 2 days ago and it worked at first but now it won't even ask for username password it just gives a message that it can't reach the IP address.
    I have tried hostname, FQDN and IP and nothing works. but my 2 MacBook Pros have no problem at all, and is maxing the bandwidth of the LAN when transferring files.
    I can post a wireshark log if that helps??

    Have you tried turning on and off the Filesharing services?
    I know sometimes the SMBX portion of OS X Server might crash... so you would have to retart services..
