Wireless printer no longer connected with Lion

My HP Photosmart D110a multifunction printer/scanner is connected via a wireless Belkin router. Prior to upgrading to Lion, anyone on my network was able to print to it and the scanner worked fine. Since upgrading my iMac to Lion, the HP printer utility indicates that the printer is not connected. I have the latest driver and tested the connection from the printer to the router and all the reports indicate it is connected.
The other computers on the network are still able to print to the HP, but my 2011 iMac, upgraded to Lion cannot.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

With help from the HP website I just figured it out. The printer and computer needed to be connected by a USB cable. With that, I was able to run the HP Printer Setup Assistant and it, somehow, connected my iMac printer stuff to my router. When that was complete, it instructed me to disconnect the USB and now the wireless connection works.
Thanks for trying to help.

  • Canon MX340 wireless printer no longer connecting over wireless and coming up with "a communications error has occured"

    I have a Canon MX340 wireless printer and have only recently started having trouble printing over the wireless connection. No settings have changed on my MacBook Pro, the printer, the router or the wifi connection and it is strange how it has just stopped working. I have tried things like restarting the laptop and removing the printer from the laptop and re-adding it. It sometimes seems to work for maybe one print but then it goes back to saying "a communications error has occured", when I try to print again.
    Any help would be great. Thanks

    I had the same MX340 problem.  My printer was working fine over WiFi connection to my Airport Extreme for years and then suddenly, about a month ago, it stopped printing after the first print job.  I can print once and then I have to power-cycle the printer to get it to print another time and then I have to repeat the power-cycle.
    The printer seems to be "forgotten" by the network or lose its connection after the first print job.
    On my MacBookPro 10.6.8 I get the error code 300...yadayadayad... On my iMac 10.5.8 it just says :communications error".
    HERE IS THE FIX - I got it off this link - http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=24681
    You have to connect to the MX340 using the printer cable that came with the printer (or any USB printer cable) and set up a hardwired USB printer queue.  Then print a couple of print jobs - I use TextEdit and type in "1234".  Then try the same thing but select your WiFi print queue - I just type another line on the same sheet of paper with TextEdit.
    The WiFi connection should work again.  I did this a few more times and then disconnected the USB cable and now it continues to work without the USB print queue being used.  I can also print to the WiFi queue with my iMac.
    If you still have problems I suggest you set up the printer again on the WiFi router using the "print cable connection" method.  Here's a link to a webpage someone kindly provided instructions for the process:

  • Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly

    Hello all,
    My Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly.
    The printer does no show up while searching for it wirelessly where it had previously.
    In the past it would say that the printer (HP Series 7300) was offline.  I would remove the device through the control panel and search again.  A printer would be found as HP Series 7300 (Copy 1) . A "ghost" of the original would remain as an offline device.  I would default to the new printer icon, Copy 1, and it would work.  This happened over the course of a year without any problems.
    Now nothing is working.  The printer can't be found by my network.  I tried downloading drivers, etc. from HP but they either can't download or stop during installation. I don't know if an Windows 8.1 update affected it.
    Although the printer has a built in  network set up option, it has no installation wizard.  I can't find a way to activate the wireless feature/icon.  There is no I.P. address either.
    I feel like a monkey pulling levers for a banana!  I appreciate your help.

    Hey @Kathlanta ,
    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Officejet 7310xi connecting and staying on your network. Going through all of this is making you feel much like this;
    By the end of this I want you feeling more like this;
    Now let's get to the bottom of this and have some fun doing it! (and no, I have not completely adopted the idea that you are a monkey, but for the time being, seems most fitting LOL )
    Ok, so what we are going to start with here is; a full print system uninstall and reinstall and run it through USB to test the printers functionality.
    Here is how you uninstall the whole printer software on 8.1 >> Uninstalling The Printer
    Here is how you install the drivers offline (use the appropriate links to get your steps) >> Installing HP Printer Software for a USB Connection in Windows 8
    You wont need to worry about the wireless right yet until we figure out if the rpinter hardware is ok or not. So sit tight on that portion, I'll get that all back and working later after we figure this stuff out now.
    Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a good one!

  • TS1398 My iPod connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with airport or hotel routers. This model is no longer supported by Apple. Is there any way I can boost its ability to pick up Wi-Fi in public places?

    My iPod Touch connects with Wi-Fi at home but is no longer connecting with Wi-Fi at airports or hotels. Is there anything I can do?

    First what you want to do is connect to your wireless connection .
    Click On Settings>WiFi>Turn WiFi ON. Make sure you are connecting to YOUR wireless connection , check what is the name of your ssid(wireless name) on your router.
    Before you connect to your wireless connection check if your connection is secured or not. To do that follow, the steps above once you found your wireless.
    If there is a LOCK image that means your connection is secured, from this point you want to get that WEP or WAP key from your wireless router.
    Connecting to your wireless network with Ipod Touch
    If asked for password enter your WEP or WAP key and click on Join button, wait few moments and then see if you are connected. Test with your safari browser.
    Can't connect to wireless network?
    Few things you can check:
    Did you get an IP address from your wireless router?
    Unplug the power from your router shut down your ipod touch. Plug back in your router first, then wait for 1 minute and then turn on your Ipod Touch.
    with the router been in a cafe airport etc you need to ask them to reset there router
    You are not getting an IP at all?
    Are you sure you are connected to your wireless router?
    Does your router have MAC address filtering On?
    Did you enter correct Password (WEP-WAP key)?
    Few more things to check...
    Does your homepage work?
    Did you try yahoo.com google.com ebay.com etc?
    How about your YouTube do you get any videos?

  • I have tried to connect my c310 wireless although i have connected with usb. help!

    i have tried to connect my c310 wireless although i have connected with usb.  help!
    Printer does not recognize the network name.  I have  run the setup many times with no success.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My macbook said it can no longer connect with my iPhone 5c

    I got a pop-up window that said iTunes could no longer connect with my device (iPhone 5c), and now when tethered via USB cable iTunes doesn't recognize my phone as a device. I've restarted my Mac and phone, reinstalled and updated iTunes, and checked for any physical problems with both (of which there are none). I've browsed the various answers other users have given but none have helped.
    This phone is less than two months old. I'm hoping this is somehow a mishap on my part but if anyone could offer some advice I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Mail App no longer connecting with Hotmail accounts

    I have had my hotmail accounts connected to my Mail app on my iMac for years, no problem. As of yesterday the Mail App wil no longer connect with any of my hotmail accounts. It is connecting with my gmail accounts.
    The error message I get is: "UNable to receive Mail: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “EKRDL” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “pop3.live.com” refused to allow a connection on port 995"
    Hep anyone? What is happening here?

    You're welcome.
    How the heck did you figure that one out?!
    I didn't, actually. Someone else in this forum (and probably other people in other forums as well), figured it out by looking at the changes introduced by the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, and checking his/her own settings accordingly:

  • Apple Wireless Mouse - No Longer Pairs with Mac Mini?

    Hi there,
    I've had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and an Apple Wireless Mouse for several months. Unfortunately, the Apple Wireless Mouse no longer pairs with the Mac Mini (Core Duo, 1.66) -- it is getting very frustrating.
    I've tried rebooting the machine, restarting the mouse, and nothing works. Sometimes I get the Bluetooth Setup Assistant which says that it found 1 Mouse, but it failed to pair.
    I replaced the batteries, but nothing changes.
    Help!

    Normally that's caused by debris under the trackball preventing the rollers from moving.  Turn the mouse upside down and rub the trackball Vigorously with a microfiber cloth. 
    The symptoms are usually that scroll will work one direction but not the other.

  • Since iDvd is no longer supplied with Lion, what is best to use to burn to dvd for TV?

    Since iDvd is no longer supplied with Lion, what is the best product to use to burn to dvd for TV from iMac?  Is there a free solution?

    Thank you very much for the link.  I'm in the process of evaluating the trial version of a couple of products other than iDvd.  Since iDvd does not have a trial, I was wondering if you could answer a couple of questions.  Once I'm done, I plan on putting up the resluts of what I've found.  Work is very busy this week, so I probably won't get a chance to work on this much until next week.
    Anyway, I'm importing movies from my Sony Handycam DCR-TRV20.  I've used iMovie to perform the download from the camcorder (the other products don't support this).  The other products can work directly on the imported .dv files without having to export things from iMovie as a .mov file.  I have not had time to see if there is a quality difference between a burned DVD with .dv clips vs. .mov imported from iMovie.  So my questions regarding iDvd are as follows:
    Can iDvd work directly on .dv files, or do you need to import .mov from iMovie?
    If iDvd can work with these files directly, is it easy to do things such as clip them and do affects on them?
    Is there a quality difference when viewing a burned DVD if .dv files were used vs. imported .mov files?
    Since I have later versions of the iLife products than what comes packaged in the iLife that contains iDvd, can you install only iDvd in what is purchased from Amazon?
    Thank you very much is you know the answer to any of these questions.

  • Does Print Shop 2 run with Lion?

    Just upgraded to Lion.  My old Print Shop for Mac does not work with the new system.  Does Print Shop 2 work with Lion/OS X 10.7.2 on an intel based iMac?

    What I am saying is that if you install it on a Snow Leopard disk and copy it over to a Lion disk it will work.
    I have installed Lion on a separate disk and am installing software slowly, trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. When I tried to install the Print Shop 2 the installer on the DVD had the circle with the slash over it.
    If you get info on it you will see that it is a Power PC application (just the installer itself). The Print Shop 2 is an Intel/PPC app and it works fine on Lion after updating to the latest update. (2.0.11).
    I just drag copied the installed and updated Print shop to the Lion disk.
    It floors me that they call it a universal application and then use a PowerPC only installer...
    Hope this helps

  • Hi, is there any programme instead of i-dvd which no longer supported with lion? Toast11 had terrible reviews, . Aimersoft DVD creator is any better?

    Hi, is there any programme instead of i-dvd which is no longer supported with lion? Toast11 had terrible reviews, . Aimersoft DVD creator is any better?

    Not quite true. iDVD IS compatible with Lion, but does not Come with Lion.  I have a fully updated version of Lion 10.7.4 and I installed a previous copy of iDVD from backup of Snow Leopard, and iDVD works fine.  You just need to find a copy of it in iLife 11 or somewhere.
    Hope this helps

    Can time capsule boost the wireless network without beeing connected with cabel, hence wirelessly?

    Yes, providing that the wireless network has been created by another Apple "n" router.
    The "extend a wireless network" feature on the Time Capsule is not compatible with devices from other manufacturers.
