Wireless Printer keep freezing when trying to connect to network

I have a HP Officejet Pro L7780 All In One and it keeps freezing whenever I try to connect it to the network via Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer control panel. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software but it asks for me to connect my network through Wireless Setup Wizard which I can't do. Please help me. This is urgent. Can you please try and use layman (simple) terms when replying as my knowledge on printers and laptops are not that great. 

Hi @Zo_e178 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing connectivity issues.  I would like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Ever since I downloaded ios7, my iPhone 4s keeps freezing when trying to connect to wifi. Help?

    My iPhone 4s keeps freezing whenever I try to connect to wifi. It either won't even open wifi, and when it does, it'll freeze as soon as wifi is open. I can force quit the settings area, and it unfreezes the iPhone, but it doesn't fix the settings area, which is still frozen. I have come to points when I can connect to wifi, but it only lasts about 30 seconds before dropping the connection. This happens everywhere, even at home, when I'm right next to the router. What should I do?

    Try resetting your settings. Settings > General > Reset.
    I had this happen shortly after updating and it worked when I reset.
    Doesn't delete anything though.

  • Printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    printer not present when trying to connect even though drivers have been installed

    Hi Marc,
    If you are having issues with printing from your iMac I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
    Mac 101: Printing (Mac OS X v10.6)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3771
    Specifically -
    Troubleshooting steps you can use if there is an issue
    Ensure the printer is connected, has power, has ink / toner, paper, and no alerts on its built-in display.
    Network based printers should be on the same subnet; you shouldn't have to worry about this if your printer is on your home network.
    Use Software Update for the latest available updates.
    Delete the affected printer from Printer & Fax System Preferences, then re-add the printer.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system (see below). Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers from here. Then, add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.

    AMy Creative zen x-fi keeps freezing when trying to delete tracks.> Hi. Was hoping someone could help me. I brought a creative zen x-fi and half of the times i tried to delete a track or album it would freeze, i'd reset it and the track or album was not deleted. I sent it back and brought a new one however my new one does the same except more, about 8 out of 0 times when i try to delete a track or album it freezes. It doesn't seem to have any problems deleting anything else e.g photos, videos. I looked on the support section of the site and it mentioned that the player could keep freezing if there were corrupted files. Pleae could someone tell me what exactly this mean? (i'm a bit of an amateur when it comes to things like this ) All the music on my player is from ripped cds or what was already on the laptop or player to begin with, so could there be any corrupted files from those?

    Nvm,the cleanup works Thanks man

  • TS3297 My itunes constantly keeps spooling when trying to connect to the store. Obviously my internet is working fine, as I'm googling ways to fix?

    Hi, I've purchased a new iPod Nano, and have downloaded the newest iTunes but when trying to connect to the store, it keeps spooling on "Accessing iTunes Store".  In case this was an 'update' issue, I then downloaded and older version, but I have the same issue.  My internet is working fine, firewall is set to allow itunes, I've changed the parental control, but nothing is letting me get to the store?

    I got this error after upgrading to new version. After searching these pages for an answer and not finding a usable one, I simply quit and re-opened iTunes, and... voila! Problem solved!

  • Finder crashes when trying to connect to network share

    Hi!
    I've just upgraded my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro to Mavericks, and found that Finder always crashes when trying to connect to my office network share via an IPSec VPN connection. It's a Synology DiskStation NAS, so i have the options to connect via AFP or SMB, however both result in the same, the crashing of finder. Even after i relaunch it, i can't open finder, and can't even shut down or restart my system (only by holding the power button for 5 secs...)
    At first i thought it's the result of the latest Little Snitch version, but the problem remained after completely removing Little Snitch.
    Unfortunalely i won't be able to try connecting to the NAS on the local network until monday, but i'd really appreciate if someone could point me to the direction of some solution as this way i can't do any of my work.

    Just a quick heads up. I finally managed to resolve the issue. It seems that mavericks doesn't handle the MTU of the vpn connection correctly, so i ended up modifying the MTU on the VPN gateway.

  • System-config-printer-gnome freezes when trying to "Add" a printer

    I have the same issue that was discussed in the thread system-config-printer-gnome utility freezes when "adding" printer. Specifically, when I try to add a printer using system-config-printer gui, the window freezes and throws back the following code:
    mechoid9@ordinateur:~$ system-config-printer
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/share/system-config-printer/asyncipp.py", line 196, in send_reply

    physdev = model.get_value (iter, 1)
    TypeError: iter must be a GtkTreeIter
    The solution mentioned was to use the CUPS web interface. This lets me add a printer (which is part of the solution), this is not the complete solution. I've used the utility before, and I'm comfortable with it, and I think that I should be able to use the gnome utility to add the printer if everything on my system is up to date (which it is, as of this posting). I would like to know why it doesn't work anymore (and I'm of the impression that it has something to do with how I've installed python on my system).
    I've googled the issue, and perhaps I didn't look around thoroughly enough, but I couldn't find a solution. So if somebody knows where to look I'd be glad to look there.

    I have the same problem. I noticed that it occured only after installing the following driver packages.
    hpoj-0.91-16 hplip-3.11.3-1 net-snmp-5.6.1-1 foomatic-db-engine-4.0.6_20101215-1 foomatic-db-4.0.6_20101215-1
    I did a workaround by installing the printer using the webinterface, removing the drivers again, setting the samba login details and then reinstalling the drivers.
    But this problem should really be fixed.

  • No printer found message when trying to connect to HP Photosmart B210a

    Every time I try to print from my iPad2 to HP Photosmart B210a air printer I get the message 'no air printer found'.  My iMac does connect to the printer wirelessly each time.  If I disable wireless anthem re-enable the wireless network on the printer, the printer can be found for that job only.  Next time we are back where we started.  I have checked and there are no upgrades needed for the printer.  Can anyone help?  Thank you.

    Yes I have the printer set up as the network printer.  The connection works from time to time, and I can force a connection by dies enabling and then re-enabling the wireless connection on the printer.  It is just annoying as I have to go to the printer to do that and the whole idea of an air printer!

  • Mac G4, OS X 10.4.11 freezes when trying to connect to server

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone has advice on solving this issue:
    One of the Macs in my small office is a G4, single processor, PowerPC, running OS X 10.4.11. It's a computer we only use from time to time. I needed to use it recently, and when I tried to connect to our server (Xserve, also OS X 10.4.11), using "apple-K", it froze when I selected the volumes to connect to. This has never happened before!
    I checked that I had the correct IP address for the server. Could it be an ethernet ID problem? Maybe I need to run the software update? I'm a bit lost here :-/
    Thank you!

  • Frustrated! iPod keeps freezing when trying to update

    My 40G iPod keeps freezing whenever I try to update it. I plug it into the computer, iTunes starts but then freezes after a song or two. Sometimes it crashes me whole machine. In any case, I can't add any music to my iPod, rendering it useless. I've seen s imilar posts but no solutions. I installed the latest iPod updater software and am using the latest version of iTunes. Funnily, this problem didn't start until I upgraded to the newest iTunes. Can anyone help? This is very very frustrating.
