Wireless status of HP 6980 says "connected​" but I still can't print

I bought a new Gateway laptop using windows 7 64 bit.  I replaced my router with a newer Netgear wndr3400 v2 dual band router. After connecting my pC, ipad, and iphone to the network they work flawlessly. I cannot get my HP 6980 wireless printer to print.  I used the HP embedded web server to have the wizard set it up.  The IP config and DNS configs were left on automatic.  A printout from the 690 report page seems to show all the #'s and the wireless status is listed as "connected." I even tried disconnecting the windows firewall to no avail. My virus software is PC tools internet security.  I could use some help please.

I know this is an older post, but I wanted to offer some assistance if it is still needed.
I doubt it is anything to do with the software as it sounds like the issue surfaced after the dual band router was setup.
Some older printers have some issues operating in a network that has a dual band option.  
I recommend disabling the 5Ghz band in the wireless router settings and reconnecting the printer to the network as you had done previously.  This can be a temporary change to isolate where the problem.
Let me know what happens.

  • I'm unable to download the German dictionary. I tried to do it with a 3g connection, but I failed because of that. Now I have a wi-fi connection, but I still can't download it. Could you give me advice please?

    I'm unable to download the German dictionary. I tried to do it with a 3g connection, but I failed because of that. A message said that I had to have a wi-fi connection to contine the download. Now I have a wi-fi connection, but I still can't download it. Could you give me advice please?

    I did activate the German keyboard, and I entered in the application "notes",in which I typed a german word with the german keyboard... But I can't get "define". It only appears to me when I select a word from an ebook, but when I ask for the definition of a German word there, it simply says "no definition found", as if the German dictionary didn't exist. I know that it exists... When I tried for the first time to get a definition for a German word, it appeared a writing which asked me if I wanted to download the German dictionary. I selected "yes", but I was connected to a 3g connection at the moment, so the ipad didn't download the dictionary, but another writing told me that the download would have continued when I was connected to a wi-fi. It didn't. And now I don't know how to continue the download. I've installed the French dictionary and the English one, but for the German one that's what happened. Maybe the ipads work differently in each country?

  • My printer is connected to my computer but I still can't print

    Th USB cable from my HP Envy 4500 is connecter to my computer (Macbook Pro) and it works fine for scanning documents but i can't print because it shows that the computer is not connected. What can I do to make it work?

    The problem seems to be solved suddenly. I don't know why but every time I load maps now I see the full version and not the lite one. It looks so strange…

  • I am unable to print anything since installing the latest driver for my epson stylus rx640. I have followed epson's advice by doing repair permissions, but I still can't print anything. Can anybody suggest anything?

    Can't print with my Epson stylus RX 640 since the latest apple software update for epson. Since then I completely reinstalled the printer following epson's advice. It worked. But today, I am trying to print some photos and nothing happens. Epson suggest resetting and then doing some repair permissions. Done that and still no joy. Can anyone help please.

    contact Epson again and ask them about using a generic Gutenprint driver; I read in one of the threads here - but can't find it right now - about a problem with your model printer. Since Epson has not updated its driver to work with SL on this older model, it appears using a generic driver does work. You might also try searching for those threads by typing your model number into the search box.

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

    Hi,
    Have you configure a DHCP role on your Virtual machine? To consider the DHCP conflicts issue, please first disable it or give it a pool limitation.
    Then, let's check the DHCP client on your Windows 8.1 computer, if the status is stopped, please manually start it to check the results:
    After that, please try to renew a ip address on your computer:
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    Can we get this issue fixed?
    If not, please post back the event below for our research:

  • Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

    I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
    Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
    When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
    Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
    When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
    I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
    Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
    The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
    or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
    Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

    Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
    I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
    ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
    When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
    Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
    I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
    I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

  • AirPort says 'connected' but Safari says 'not connected to the internet'

    I'm stumped.
    I just replaced a failed HD. Installed OS from original disk. Airport shows strong signal and says "connected" but when trying to open Safari or check for software updates I receive a 'you're not connected to the internet' message.
    Remember I had upgraded to Snow Leopard, so just installed that from disk as well. Same situation with the attempts to wirelessly connect.
    Note - all other computers, smart phones, etc in the house can still connect wirelessly. When I connect the MacBook via the ethernet cable, it's fine. Problem is only with wireless connection.
    Service is Verizon Fios. Have tried repeatedly restarting the router.
    Any other suggestions?

    John,
    Yes, I've been running Software Update frequently over the last 24 hours (needed to update all the software on that new HD) said there were no updates at last check. However, followed link you provided above and installed the Combo update.
    Was hopeful on initial restart after that install, as I rec'd a message to the effect of: "none of your preferred networks are connected". Selected my home network (which was listed and with strong signal), entered password and same result - not connected to the internet.
    Took your advice above and returned to "Using DHCP" setting. Inital response was "no ip address" and then after short time, "self assigned ip address" "will not be able to connect to the internet". Tried "renew DHCP lease" and continually receive same result. All very frustrating.
    My next step will be to try and connect wirelessly on a friend or family member's network (my local Apple store is a bit far away. Easier for me to visit the ones near my office during the work week).
    If I am able to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my router?
    If I am UNABLE to connect on another's network, does that indicate it's an issue with my laptop?
    This is so disappointing - the replacement of the HD was so easy, as was the reinstalling of software. This connection issue is souring what was a relatively painless and quick experience.
    Thank you again,
    Christine

    Well that was it. My Wi-Fi just says connecting but never connects. I've rebooted the router and the phone. LG G2

        ETea,
    Sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi. Let's get you connecting again. Are other Wi-Fi capable devices able to connect without issue? Go to Settings and touch Wi-Fi. Touch your network and select "Forget." Touch "Search" on the bottom. Once the phone detects the network again, touch the network, enter your password and select connect. Let us know if you get connected.
