Wireless Printing stopped working but ONLY on my G72...not on other laptops on my home network.

Hi...I have an HP G72 laptop running windows7 64 bit and an HP deskjet4500 all in one printer with with a Belkin wireless G home network . The wireless printing has been working fine for months and it STILL works from a different laptop. I am able to print from the G72 with a USB cord but when I try wireless I get an error message saying printer not connected. I've tried walking through the troubleshooting tips but nothing seems to work. Can anyone provide some help? Thanks!

  • Re: Wireless printing stops working with Home Hub ...

    I have had to fix a few clients home networks and was perturbed to find there is a pattern between the new home hubs and existing wireless printers.
    I too found no logical reason why the connection would drop or go twilight zone. I searched after fixing a couple of these sites and found no conclusive methods from the more senior site members posting suggestions.
    I agree that it is a bug with the HH firmware or a setting that you should be able to tweak is not available to band-aid over the underlying issue.
    My working method was to manually set the channel in the router from the auto setting. Pinging and communications seem to flow both ways and the printers work straight away once the settings have been applied.
    I would love to see a proper response from a BT representative as with some areas of the U.K there is only BT as an option (for broadband) and by ultimately having a HH router that behaves in this fashion is just poor. I think BT need to recognise the issue and investigate from some customers home networks to understand the issue.
    Any update that sheds some light on this is welcome!

    I have a HH1 with a mixture of hard wired and wireless connections. The hard wired ones all have static IP addresses, however I do not use the DHCP server on the home hub, as that is a function of one of my wireless access points.
    My printer is connected by USB to my server, but I never have any issues communication between wireless devices, and  Ethernet connected ones.
    Did you delete the printer from the home hub DHCP table, before giving it a static IP address, to avoid any conflict?
    Maybe its an issue with the HH5? You will have to see if anyone else is having problems.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • After updates, wireless keyboard stopped working.

    HI...
    All was going along swimmingly, setting up my new iMac... I did some updates and then for some strange reason my wireless keyboard stopped working? I know it’s not the keyboard because delete works, my widgets work and some other keys work - and - the whole keyboard was working from start up (at first)...
    But I just can’t use the Alfa keys all of a sudden - very unusual, no?
    What happened?
    Any opinions, suggestions and comments are greatly welcomed
    Thank you in advance....

    For those who it may concern...
    I called up support and I had to delete two files from the Systems Library called “com.apple...systempreferences.plist” and “com.apple.universalaccess.plist”.....
    I hope you never need this information but - it worked for me....

  • The escape key in my wireless keyboard stopped working

    Dear list members, suddenly, the ESC key in my wireless keyboard stopped working. As it looks normal and all other keys are working properly, might it be a configuration problem? Could you please help me? I'm working on an iMac 27 late 2012 running OSX 10.10.2. Thank you.

    Please reset the SMC, this may take 2-3 attempts and post back with the results.

  • Am considering buying a Time Capsule.  But all specs I read about it (re: printing) is how to hook up a printer via USB connection.  Need to confirm...that a wireless printer will work with the router feature of the Time Capsule.  I assume yes...?

    A wireless printer connects to the network just like your computer, or iPhone/iPad, etc. connects using wireless.
    The printer must be set up intially to scan to "find" available wireless networks, then your specific wireless network needs to be selected. Then the password for the network needs to be entered.
    Once the printer is configured to join the network, it is always connected to the network. No further configuration is required.

  • Acrobat printer stops working

    I am seeing a problem where the Acrobat virtual printer stops working after my system has been running for a while.  The symptom is that when printing to the virtual printer, the file appears in the queue, then disappears as if it was successfully printed, but Acrobat never starts up and no PDF is produced.  I've tried killing the Acrobat background processes and restarting them but this does not solve the problem.  The only solution I've found to work is a system reboot, after which the virtual printer functions correctly for a while but eventually stops working again.
    System: Win7Pro 64; core i7 930; 12GB memory; lots of free disk space

    I did the following
    Ctrl-P to print a page in Firefox
    Click Properties...
    Select the "Adobe PDF Settings" tab
    Change the output from "Prompt for Adobe PDF Filename..." to a specific output folder
    At which point the file is printed correctly to the designated folder.
    I didn't have to invoke distiller separately
    Does this still indicate a problem with Acrotray?

  • Printer Stopped Working - Driver Won't Install

    My printer stopped working, and I have been trying to reinstall the printer driver, but the computer keeps saying that I need "Administrator privileges" to install it, though I AM the administrator for this computer.
    Any suggestions?

    Go to Disk Utility and repair the permissions for the computer. Takes a while though, so go get a cup of coffee or something.

  • Wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac

    My wireless keyboard stopped working on my iMac. It shows that it is connected, but it won't respond.   It's not the batteries, and I tested keyboard on my iPad and it works fine on the iPad, so it is not the keyboard itself.
    I also tried to connect a different wireless keyboard to my iMac, but the same thing happens... it shows that it is connected, but it doesn't respond.
    When I go preferences >  bluetooth, the device shows as connected.  I have tried to remove it by highlighting it and clicking the   - (minus)  , but the - (minus) is not clickable.  It is gray.
    Also grayed is the box that says 'discoverable'.  the box is checked however.
    I am at a loss!!  Any ideas

  • Wireless isn't working, but it says there is signal

    My wireless internet stopped working two days ago. The broad band works fine, but the wireless router isn't working. All the lights are on that should be, and the laptops say there is exellent signal. However, it won't connect to the internet. The model is a WRT54GX2. If someone could help me, that would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you connect directly to the router?
    Delete the wireless network profile in windows. Then try it again.

  • Printer Stopped Working

    We are running OS X Server 10.3.9. We connect VPNs to our office and have a mix of Mac & WinXP Computers. We setup an HP Bus Inkjet 2800 off of the USB port of the Server. We then started Print Services on the OS X Server. For the Queue we used all of the protocols to share (AT/LPR/SMB). All went well to start, winXP over the VPN and in the office printed ok. Out of the blue we can no longer print from WinXP machines. Coincidentally perhaps, the first time a Mac printed over the VPN, with success, we could no longer print from WinXP. Have not been able to get it going again. Restarted print services and the server itself w/no luck. Deleted and re-added printer...still no luck.
    The Log reflects a couple of "Issues". The errors shown are:
    "No Printcap File Name configured!"
    "registermessage_flags:tdbfetch failed"
    I'm hoping someone can provide some insight, I'm dying here! :o)
    Acktom

    Acktom -
    A few questions... Our printer stopped working out of the blue. We completely reloaded the server tonight and they still do not work.
    My question to you: Did they stop working after you applied a system update. Ours did.
    Lastly, do you get a message like lpr: clientconnectionfailure in the Windows service log, Print Services ( I think I have it right)? We get this error. then we check /etc/cups/printers.conf and find the name of the printer is spelled differently. HP LaserJet 5Si vs HPLaserjet5Si
    I think our problem stems from spacing. But our server worked for about 2 years without any real changes. We have traced it back to that system update. For this reason, we completely reloaded the server to try to resolve it. We applied updates after the server was reloaded thinking this was a positive thing. But really, we have the same problem -- no printing from Windows XP clients.
    Our next step is to rename the Appletalk name of the HP Laserjet so there are no spaces in the name.
    I also have found that when we add a printer with an address of 192.168.0.51, that is now the queue name for the printer. Where we have a queue specified as HPLaserJet5Si. I think apple has created some problems here. But we have no support contact and cannot afford their support arrangments. So we are trying and not having much luck.

  • Printer stopped working (timeout... retry...)

    Ok, I'm stumped. All of a sudden my MBP has stopped being able to print. My other iMac, also wirelessly, prints just fine.
    No matter what I try, I get a status that says" Network Host 192.168.1.108 is busy, will retry in 30 seconds" and NOTHING prints.
    What gives? I'm pretty sure nothing has changed. I've added a new printer, but haven't tried deleting the current printer.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    TIA,
    Peter

  • Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working after update to Acrobat DC

    Hello, I have installed Acrobat DC yesterday. Since then, Adobe Pdf Printer stopped working. It always gets stuck at Checking Fonts and any software the print originated from just hangs and I have to force it closed.
    I tried uninstalling the printer and installing it manually, repairing Acrobat installation but nothing changed.
    So, can somebody help me? Thanks.

    A method which is written here not working - because if you start to remove the fonts one by other you will see that the list does not end there.
    I did so
    1. i copied the folder with the fonts from the other clean system and replace with fonts in my system
    2. then i restore the registry tree HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts
    3. i check system with sfc /scannow
    after these procedures Distiller DC continue to crash...
    In this time distiller crashed when it cheking their fonts in C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Resources\Font
    after i rename the folder from Font to Font_ in order to he did not check this folder
    at next run Distiller crashed at the font wingding.ttf after remowing that font he crash at Vrinda.ttf (this is a oficial font of Win7 and come with him) after removing that font distiller crash at the next font name of Vani.ttf (this is a Win7 font too) - when i saw it goes on forever i back my system to normal status and uninstal Acrobat DC and back to Acrobat XI...this version work with out any problems.
    We are waiting a hotfix to resolving this problem with Acrobat DC
