Wireless printer disconnecting from network

Hello all,
Here is my problem. I have a new HP 3510 set up as a wireless printer on my home network. I have three computers, two wired and one wireless. I have a netgear router for 3G air card. I can connect my printer to the network initially. I can print from any computer, initially. I can even use ePrint. The trouble is that the next day, when I fire up any of my computers that printer is no longer on the network. I have upgraded the router firmware, and the trouble seems to be there. When I power cycle the router, everything is connected once more. I have set a static IP on the printer. Furthermore, and have tried setting the printer as a static IP within the router. I am now at a loss. I have read about setting the DHCP range on my router outside the printer IP. Would this even make a difference? Since I am not sure what is happening, I do not know if this will help any. It acts like either the router or the printer are going into a sleep mode or something, however, my phone is also connected on the network, and when I get home it immediately connects.
Thank you in advance for the help.
FYI: the two wired computers are XP and Win7. the wireless is Vista
I have wpa-psk + wpa2-psk set for my router security. Have not tampered with the router firewall, but since the printer connects initially, not sure if that would be the cause. I have set the printer IP well above anything that has been used by any other networked hardware.

Hi, unless you reserve the static IP in DHCP it is best to assign a static IP outside the DHCP range.

I have two problems with my 2012 13" MacBook Pro. 1. Gray screen shows at startup 2. Randomly disconnects from network. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have two problems with my 2012 13” MacBook Pro.
Gray screen shows at startup
Randomly disconnects from network.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

First, open Terminal in your Utilities folder and paste this into the prompt line:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache
Press RETURN. You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed to the screen. Press RETURN again.
Next, boot the computer into Safe Mode.
Next, do the following:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Sending mails while disconnected from network

Hi All,
We have a Desktop Application in which we will send few emails when ever user does some activity.We are using a open rely mail server at our side and configured the same in this application to send those mails. As this is a desktop application user may not be connected to internet all the time that he uses the application.All the users are configured to their outlook to use the mailing services.
Now we have requirement that we need to send the emails even when the user is disconnected from network. As a java programmer i know that it's not possible to send the mails if the smtp host is not reachable. I am thinking of an alternative like some how if we can QUEUE the mail into the users outbox of his outlook when user is disconnected. So that when user is connected to internet all the mails will be delivered with out a fail.
But I am not sure how to do this. Please help me if we can do this or any other alternative.
Regards,
Krishal.

It's possible. It's only software, after all. But you're going to have to
do most of the work yourself.
The simplest solution would be to just run a mail server on the same
machine as the JavaMail application, and let the mail server do the work
of queuing the message and retrying it when necessary.
If you don't want to run a mail server, you can build similar functionality
into your application. Save the messages using Message.writeTo when
you can't send them. Arrange to processed the saved messages at
the appropriate times. Read them back in and send them.

Using the Embedded Web Server To Connect A Wireless Printer To Your Network

AKA:No Wireless Setup Wizard Button, which would be way easier.
The Prelude
Some entry level printers do not offer a 'Wireless Setup Wizard' button, or a menu option that is accessible from the front of the printer. Printers that do not offer this luxury option, can still be easily configured to communicate to your router if you have a Mac or Windows PC.
You still may have an easy option to get your network settings configured in your printer, if your router supports WPS. I personally do not like to use WPS as it can bring its own frustrations. WPS is not within the scope of this document.
This document is geared towards the last available option, and in my opinion the best option. It can however be the most involved option. I am referring to using the Embedded Web Server (EWS). Most modern network capable HP Printers have a setting page that can be accessed from a web browser. The process is rather simple, but many confusing hiccups can occur, and that is what I hope to prepare you for. There will be variances for different printers. I am using my experience with consumer printers that have been around the last few years.
First, do not get overexcited about this document: Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server. Don't get me wrong, it is a great document, it's just that the instructions, while accurate, will not work until your printer is configured to connect to your network first. We will revisit this later however.
Seatbelts Please
The first thing we need to do, is have the printer broadcast its own network, sometimes referred to as AdHoc, sometimes referred to as Auto Wireless Connect. To do this, you need to navigate the menu system of the printer, and find the option to reset the network settings, network defaults or something similar. If your printer has the Wireless Direct feature you won't need to reset the network settings, but this is a perfect time to make sure Wireless Direct is turned on. If you aren't using Wireless Direct, the timer starts. Generally speaking, for the next two hours, the printer will broadcast an 'HP Setup' network, or have some variation of the printers name listed in available wireless networks. Regardless you should have plenty of time, if you read it all first and then went throught the steps.
*Preparation:
Here is where you want to use your favorite device, one capable of seeing 2.4ghz networks. Android phone, Apple iPad, Chromebook, Windows or Mac Notebook that you decided not to install the printer software on. Any of these devices will work. Apple iOS devices required a bit of coddling, as Safari doesn't work well with the EWS Wireless Setup Wizard.
Do you know your network SSID? What about the passphrase, passkey or whatever the security word is called?
If you didn't set it up, and just started using it when the internet guy installed it, then there is probably a sticker on the router with that information. If you still can't find it, call your ISP, router manufacturer or favorite family member for help to find that information (If you use a family member, remember to buy them something nice on the next gift giving holiday in your region).
*Apple iOS specific, device preparation:
1. You will save yourself a lot of frustration by downloading the Chrome Browser for iOS now. Go ahead, I will wait...
If you are installing Chrome for the first time, when it completes the install, open it, and get passed the greeting and tutorial before continuing.
2. You need to forget your home network connection when you are done with step 1. Just hold down on your home network in the wireless networks list, and 'Forget' the connection (or find the arrow that leads to the same option). If you do not take this step, it will reconnect to the home network once you run the Wireless Setup Wizard, causing you to have to back track.
3. Be aware, when you connect to your printer's network, that it may appear to not connect (ie. spinning wheel, no confirmation) to the printer. This is a known behavior. Just close the wireless settings, and proceed as normal.
Begin The Journey
Open up the wireless section of your device and look in the list of available networks and tell it to connect to the HP printer network. The SSID will usually start with HP, and may have the printer model or the word SETUP in the name. Once you are connected (see "Apple iOS specific, device preparation #3 if you are using iOS), it is time to open your browser, preferably the Chrome browser when at all possible. In the address bar type 192.168.223.1 and press go or hit enter. I use the colloquialism 'hit' when I just mean 'press' again, sorry for the redudancy.
If all is well, you should see a web page that should refer to your printer. Now is the time to find the 'Wireless Setup Wizard' button. Most printers should have it here on the main page of the EWS. Just take your time, it may not be obvious at first. Once you press it, the setup process will begin. Follow the instructions. It should see a list of detected wireless networks, and you can select your home network. Then if it requires a password, it will prompt for you to enter it. At the end of the Wizard, it might say something about not being able to test it, or show a page cannot be displayed screen. This is OK. This means the printer is now talking to your router and not your device in your hand.
Proof Of Concept
You can now tell your device to scan and connect back to your normal home network. Once you connect, you can verify if you can see your printer. Keep in mind, with dual band routers, that the printers will typically only be visible on the 2.4GHZ network, so your device should also connect to that network as well for testing. Once connected, now we need to find out what IP Address the printer has. Remember the document I started with “Accessing the HP Embedded Web Server”. It now is relevant, and you can complete those instructions to make sure you can see your printer on the same network. If your device can enter the printers EWS with its new IP, then you have officially connected your printer to your network. Also your printers wireless light should be solid, indicating communication.
If It Worked
Now the fun begins. If you are setting up ePrint, and if there is no option to configure ePrint from the front panel, find the Web Services tab, and proceed with that process. If you are setting it up to a Chomebook, you still need to setup ePrint (if it is an ePrinter) before configuring Cloudprint... but that's another document.
I hope I have not missed any small detail that pertains to your configuration that made this hard to follow. Any comments would be welcomed to improve this for future use.

That printer also has a USB port why don't you connect it using that port?
If you insist on using ethernet, Mac OS X can create two network connections at the same time. On the iMac you can configure one of the network connections to be wireless and the other to be wired using the ethernet port.
Since you already have a wireless network configured and connecting to your AirPort Extreme for Internet access all you need to do is plug in an ethernet cable from your iMac directly to your printer and configure them to use self-assigned IP addresses. Self-assigned IP addresses take the form of 169.xxx.xxx.xxx and are used in this configuration to avoid any conflicts with your other network. You have to configure the iMac and the printer to each have a unique IP address in the self-assigned range, just make each of the last group of numbers in the IP address different, and then the iMac should be able to print to the printer.
Note that when you configure the Imac and printer this way no other network devices will be able to print

How do I get my USB to wireless printer on a network without a computer?

If you have a USB to Wireless printer and no computer to use the software to do this and do not want to use the WPS option (or it is not available), then the following method may help.
This is intended to get a USB to wireless, like the Deskjet 3512 printer, on the wireless network when there is no computer available. However, this can work from a computer as well if you prefer not to install the software.
For these steps, I will use an iPad.
1. The printer will broadcast a wireless network of its own. This usually has HP Setup and the model of the printer listed in the network name. Connect a wireless device to this network.
2. Once connected, open the browser. In my case, this is Safari.
3. Enter the 192.168.223.1 address in the address and press go to access the printer's status page.
4. Once there, there will be many tabs at the top. Select Network.
5. Select Wireless Setup Wizard.
6. Select Next at the bottom.
7. It will search for available networks. Select your network from the list and select next. The network should be highlighted, select it again if it is not.
8. It will ask for the password. Enter the password and select Next at the bottom.
9. The printer should now be connected to the network. It may take a few minutes to reflect this. Reconnect the computer or mobile device back to your regular network and it should be good to go.

If you are able to go to other websites, then the iPad is not connected to the printer's network. The first step is absolutely key for this process to work and that is to connect the iPad to the printer's broadcasted network.
For the steps to work, the printer will need to be connected to the printer's SSID for the printer's IP address to load.
While connected to the printer's SSID, there will be no internet connection so no websites will be able to load.
The steps provided are for mostly newer model printers that have the 192.168.223.1 address reserved in them. However, older printers use a 169.254.X.X address.
What model is your printer? You may need to connect the iPad to the printer and then print a network config page off the printer to get the proper address for the printer.
What model is the printer?

Print quality from network printer

poor print quality from HP wireless pc, Windows 7 64-bit, to wired network printer (Epson 500 all in one). Print Quality from desktop pc is great.

Happy Friday eve! It appears you are using a Epson printer This forum is used to troubleshooting HP printers. I would suggest using Epson support center to see if it can help resolve your issue. Welcome to Epson Support Be sure you have full cartridges and you are not using a Draft or low quality print setting.
Good luck!

Wireless Printing to from Samsung Tab 3 to HP Photosmart 5520

Why is it I can wirelessly print to my HP5520 from the Tmemo app on my Samsung Tab 3 by utilising the 'Print' option in the 'Menu' button, but can't print an email from the email App.
I can't find a print icon anywhere?

Hi,
Are they on a same network ? You have to use HP ePrint app to print. You can also use HP AiO Remote to print but ou need email address of your printer. Please use Google Play/Store to install those apps.

Can I set up a wireless printer as a network printer and not use Airport?

I have a HP Photosmart Plus wireless printer set up in my network for use by several iPods, iPads, and iPhones. I have an iMac running 10.6.8 that I want to set it up on, but to use it as a regular network printer, not using Airport. Is this possible? I haven't been able to hit on the right combination of settings. I have a Samsung laser printer that works this way, and an Epson that is attached to an Airport Express, but all I get on the HP is garbage. It will work when I set it up using the HP install disk, but I have to use Airport and I don't always get a good signal where the iMac is located. I would prefer to use the wired connection to my router and access the HP's IP address, like a wired network printer. Any suggestions?

I'm using a Canon printer here which is networked via my Airport Express. My printer cannot be Wi fi enabled simultaneousely with an ethernet cable connection. It is either or. I realise that this doesn't fully answer your question, but I just wanted to give you a clue. You'd need to consult your owners manual, or HP to get a definitive answer.
If you want to use the HP printer printer only with the wired ethernet connection to your router, that should be no problem as long as it is ethernet capable.
After setting it up for wired ethernet capability, you will need through the sequence of powering your router down, and resetting you Lan network so the router and printer can pick up their respective IP assignments.

Hi,
You must use a dummy network adapter called loop back adapter and configure ur ip on it,Remember with this u can only acess the apps on the local system nobody can connect from network.
check in the forum by searching loopback adapter or google it for installtion

Indesign disconnects from Networked server

I have Indesign 6 installed on a macintosh 10.6.8 and always work from files on the server. Indesign is part of the creative suite 6 with the latest updated. The issue I am having is that if I don't use the software for about half an hour it disconnects from the server; if I go for lunch and leave an artwork open, to only way of getting it back is to force close indesign and restart the software and the file is recovered. Does anyone know if Indesign creates a cache file on the hard drive - I think this may be the issue as it does not exist in any folder. If there should be one such file, how to I recreate it or anyone knows how to repair indesign without re-installing it. Thanks.

This is a well-known problem with ID and network connections. The best advice I can offer is don't leave files open and leave the machine.

Disconnection from network

We have a mixed Mac-PC network at school with three wireless nodes using HP ProCurve bases. Two of them work well with Macs, however since we put into place a password protected sign in the one I use has had intermittent problems by disconnecting my computer from the network. I can get around this by renewing the DHCP lease in the system folder but this is a pain. Our IT person is only PC and simply tells me to sell the mac and get a PC. Any suggestions would be helpful,

Wireless printing between 2 networked macs

Having a problem printing. I have two macs on the same AEBS. One mac (powerbook G4) has a new HP printer connected via USB - set for sharing. My other Mac (MacBook) can "see" the shared printer but when I go to print - every application I try to print from crashes. I hooked the HP printer to the MacBook (via USB) to install the HP drivers - (I could not get through the driver installation without the direct connection) and was able to print. When I connected the printer back to the Powerbook - I was unable to print.
I realize I could attach the printer directly to the AEBS, however it is in an inconvenient location due to the cable jack.
Is it even possible to print from my MacBook wirelessly to a printer connected to my Powerbook???
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I confirm this problem with a Netgear base station and a MacBook printing to a shared HP DeskJet 810C attached by USB to a sunflower iMac G4. The Print dialog won't even come up in Word or Pages; command-P results in a beachball and crash.
This article might be related:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060318102127492
The author complains of not getting all his printer-specific options from his networked Intel Mac, and only occasionally sees crashes (if only we were so lucky). The solution he found was to install his Intel (well, Universal) print drivers on his PPC; I need to update my iMac to Tiger to see if this solves my problem. (The drivers my MacBook is using for the DeskJet are reported in Printer Setup Utility as version 3.3.)
One final data point: If the DeskJet is the default printer, the Print dialog will crash before appearing (as I've stated); if I set the default printer to my LaserJet 4050N (using Printer Setup Utility) before trying to print, the dialog comes up. (If I then select the DeskJet from the pop-up menu, beachball city.)

How do I print wireless? I love my HP7350 printer and there is nothing wrong with it.
Help

Can you print from any other computer or device? Is it just the windows computer that is having trouble?
connected my Canon MP640 over wifi but I cannot now print from my Windows 7 laptop
How were you connected to the printer when it did work?
What model TC is this?
Is the computer able to fully access internet and the TC hard disk?
If you have a previous wrong configuration of the printer.. delete all traces of it, reboot the laptop and start over.
Find out the IP address of the printer and ping it. To be accessible on the network it must be pingable.
