WPS54G Print Server doesn't print wirelessly

I am using the setup wizard, but when it is checking for the wireless setting I get a message that the connection failed. please help!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi quack thanks for your answer , unfortunately everything is correct and turned on... when I unplugged the ethernet cable just before the last step of the wizard and it is on the screen of "Now your wireless is connected" a little box appeares saying "connect fail"... But if I leave the ethernet cable plugged, the process goes "perfect", because I can print, but the server must be connected to the router wirely...
I'm starting to think if it is because the WPA key of my router, I use a WPA2:AES+TKIP,and I'm not pretty shure if the server is compatible.
Thanks for your commment!!! I wish that exist a solution!!

Print server doesn't grap ip or show on dhcp clienttable

I have a dlink dp-101p print server attached to my printer. Ethernet cable out of the back of the print server is attached to my wrt160n router. For some reason the print server doesn't grab an ip or show up under the dhcp client table.
This connection worked with my previous router.
Help please!

It could be possible that your Print Server is not compatible with the router...However, when you reset your Print Server for 5 secs you should get a test page...If not you can conclude the Print Server and the router are not compatible...

8600 doesn't print wirelessly

I have two laptops (LT) on my desk. One prints wirelessly to the Officejet Pro 8600 and the other doesn't. After months of playing around, the only difference I can find is the LT that works, connects thru the HP network re-discovery port monitor and the other LT doesn't. I do not find a port setting HP network re-discovery port monitor, on the non-connecting LT. Seems like an easy solution and an answer would make my New Year better.
They both use Windows 7, it's updated/current. I can print wirelessly from phones, pads etc.

Hello,
Please try the below steps that should atleast let you print....
Click START > Device and Printer > Add a Printer > Add a local printer > Select "Create a New Port" > type in the Printer's IP address Click NEXT,
in the Manufacturing list , select HP / Hewlett packard, and from the right pane , select Officejet Pro 8600 and complete the wizard
Now try printing from lotus and hopefully it should work.

I have a 4th generation TimeCapsule, and printer is connected fine to it, but my iPhone doesn't want to print wirelessly, why?

My printer is not "AirPrint" compatible, but I figured that if I can print wirelessly from my computer why can't I do from my iPhone or iPad?

theres are the supported printers that can print wirelessly from the iphone

HP Officejet Pro 8600 All in One printer - printing wirelessly from an IPAD

I'm trying to connect a HP Officejet Pro 8600 to our university campus wireless network for the purposes of printing wirelessly from an IPAD. The printer finds the wireless network when going through wireless wizard setup but gets a message that the wireless network is using security that is not supported.
The campus wireless network uses:
Security type: WPA2-Enterprise
Encryption type: AES
Can anyone tell me if these are supported by this model printer?

Hey ibebry,
The printer is designed to be used with WPA2 - Personal and not the Enterprise version. From the wiki artricle on WPA encryption:
WPA-Personal Also referred to as WPA-PSK (Pre-shared key) mode, it is designed for home and small office networks and doesn't require an authentication server. Each wireless network device authenticates with the access point using the same 256-bit key generated from a password or passphrase.
WPA-Enterprise Also referred to as WPA-802.1X mode, and sometimes just WPA (as opposed to WPA-PSK). It is designed for enterprise networks and requires a RADIUS authentication server. This requires a more complicated setup, but provides additional security (e.g. protection against dictionary attacks on short passwords). An Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) is used for authentication, which comes in different flavors.
If the network is using WPA-Enterprise, then most likely the 8600 will not be able to connect. Hope this helps.

Can no longer print wirelessly - False Message - "Network Host is Busy"

Fairly new to Macbook, but when I initially set up my printer wirelessly it worked fine. After recent 'updates' to the OS and HP drivers, I'm stuck with the 'network host is busy' problem that I seen in many other threads. There have been NO changes to my hardware - same router, same printer. Print jobs sit in queue and host is always 'busy' but it's not, really. There doesn't seem to be a good and actual "solution" for the issue yet. Here's the details:
Macbook Pro, 13"
Mac OS X 10.6.4
HP OfficeJet J6400 (drivers - 3.0.4 - just updated with the latest update from Apple)
Printer is running ONLY wirelessly, it is not hooked to a PC. It has an IP assigned by my router.
I have two PC's that print to it just fine, wirelessly.
I removed the printer from the Macbook, and re-installed it sort of manually using IPP as the protocol. The Macbook 'sees' the printer, and I can access the printer utilities to view ink levels, see the hardware/firmware information, etc.
I can also print a test page wirelessly from the Macbook, because as I'm told, printing a test page bypasses the drivers; and if you can print a test page but can't print normally, it would seem there's a driver issue, no?
One thing I don't know how to figure out is the 'queue name' so I leave it blank for 'default'. This is the only wireless printer and there are no other shared printers.
So I'm pretty well stuck, and have to move files or send links to my PC so I can print stuff (flawlessly) from there since the Macbook won't print at all - I always receive the 'network host is busy' message. The frustrating thing is, when I first installed it months ago, installation went very smoothly, and everything worked perfectly - until recently.
I know it's not just me, but any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Macbook Pro 13" Mac OS X (10.6.4) HP OfficeJet J6480 with latest drivers from Apple

Checking the HP web site I could not find a manual for the J6400 but there was a J6410 and its User Guide states the following...
1. Click the HP Device Manager icon on the Dock or in the Hewlett Packard folder in the Applications folder.
2. From the Information and Settings list, select Network Printer Setup Utility.
I also found the following HP wireless support site that suggests the print queue creation is performed by the HP software. No mention of how to configure the Mac queue manually.

How do I get my Canon MX860 back online so I can print wirelessly on my Mac OSX 10.8.4?

I recently installed a new and bigger Time Capsule on my MacBook Pro system and since doing so, I lost the ability to print wirelessly on my Canon MX860 printer. I am using Mountain Lion OSX 10-8-4.
I note Pahu discussion in another group on this same issue but it pertains to Snow Leopard. I don't know how much difference it makes but when I followed his instructions, I did not get my problems resolved. I am inserting here his discussion and in bold my comments where my results differed.
Pahu comments follow (min results in bold): Some of the new models of Canon inkjet let you set the network settings using the touch panel on the printer. I am not sure if your MX860 has this setting, called Easy Setup under Device Settings > Network. If it does then you can change the network settings and create a new print queue on the Mac.
If it doesn't have the ability to change the settings via the keypad then you will have to connect the printer via USB to your Mac, which will create a USB connected print queue. If you then open Print & Fax, select this USB MX860 print queue and then press Options & Supplies, you will see the Utility tab. I DID NOT HAVE THAT TAB I FOLLOWEED HIS LEAD USING THE FOILLOWING: MAC HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter/Utilities With this selected then click Open Printer Utility. This will open the Canon IJ Printer Utility and within this utility you will see the Network Settings button. Select this and you can then enter the new network settings, such as the SSID, type of security being used and the password for the network. Save the changes, turn off the power to the MX860 and then disconnect the USB cable.
Now turn the printer back on and open Print & Fax again. For the USB print queue you just created, you can delete this. I NEVER SAW ANY PRINT QUEUES AFTER TURNING THE PRINTER BACK ON. ONLY THING I HAD WAS THE PRINTER LISTED IN THE WINDOW SHOWING IT WAS OFFLINE. And for the old networked print queue, you need to delete this also. You may also need to delete the networked scanner queue if you had one. So with all the old queues to the MX860 removed you can then add the new network printer. I DID TWO THINGS, FIRST LEAVING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW, I TRIED ADDING USING + BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN I TRIED DELETING THE PRINTER IN THE WINDOW AND THEN TRIED HITTINH + BUT NOTHING EVER APPEARED. HAD TO RECABLE THE PRINTER TO THE MACBOOK TO GET PRINTER BACK. Click the + and wait for the MX860 to appear as a printer - it will appear first as a scanner and you can either add that now or after adding the printer. NONE OF THIS HAPPENED AND I LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. Several seconds after the scanner appears the printer should also appear, showing canonijnetwork in the Kind column. DID NOT HAPPEN. Select this and the Print Using menu should automatically select the Canon MX860 series printer driver. When it does click Add to complete the network print queue creation and repeat the steps to add the network scanner if you need it. OBVIOUSLY, NONE OF THIS HAPPENED EITHER.
NOW IT IS ME AGAIN. Can someone please help me with this mess? I am so frustrated with dealing with this for three days and the only way I can print is using the RSB cable which is not so cool strung across my bedfrom the computer to the printer. Any guidance would be appreciated. I am an old man of 73 and way over my head with this mess. Don't know why Canon has to make this so difficult. Thanks in advance, Ron Wikoff

I too am experiencing the same problem, my Canon MX860 printer is no longer connecting to my Airport Extreme Router. I tried following the directions on Canon's website http://www.usa.canon.com/CUSA/assets/app/pdf/wireless/router_network_change_mx34 0_mp495_mx860_mp980_mp620_mac.pdf
I have tried uninstalling all of the printer drivers, as suggested in another apple discussion, then running the Canon IJ network tool.
I tried PAHU's response above:
Okay. No facility to add the MX860 to an Apple wireless network using the control panel so you will need to use the Canon IJ Network Tool.
So with the Mac connected to the MX860 via USB cable, open Canon IJ Network Tool (which should be located in Applications > Canon Utilities > IJ Network Tool). If you are looking in the other path you mention above, this could be an older version so download and install this latest version of the IJ Network Tool.
With the IJ Network Tool open, the first window talks about adding the printer to the network. Ensure the setting "Use the printer on the network" is set. Click OK
From the next window, the MX860 should be shown and as connected to the Mac via USB. Select it and click OK.
The next window will show the utility searching for wireless access points. A new window will then appear asking you to confirm the connection to the access point and the text will show which access point was found - which should show "Ronald Wikoff's Network". Click Yes to continue. When a window appears stating that the Canon IJ Network Tool wants to use your password, click Allow. (I cannot make it past this step. The Canon IJ Network Tool does not aoutmatically find my password. Instead I am taken to a screen where I type in my password and then attempt to connect.)
Now the window will take several seconds to setup the printer and should show a Setup Completion window. Click OK. (I never make it to this window. I receive an error message that that says the printer cannot communicate with the access point and to check the password. I checked the password then tried again. I even changed the password in the airport utility to make sure I had the correct password and it still did not work. I am starting to suspect that this may be related a recent Airport utility upgrade to 6.3.1 a few days ago.)
This will make the Add printer window appear. In the list, the "Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)" should be visible. If it is, select it. The "Use" menu should then show "Canon MX860 series". If it does, click Add. This will add the network printer to the Mac.
If you now open Print & Scan, the "Canon MX860 series (00.00.85.xx.xx.xx)" should be in the printers list, as well as the Canon MX860 series. This latter one is for the USB connection. You could delete this printer and disconnect the USB cable.
The last step is to print a document to this network printer.
I plan on calling Canon tomorrow but if you have any other options for my to before then I am open to suggestions.

try disabling email scanning for incoming mail.
One of the last things that occurs is the mail server and Thunderbird sign off on "where we are up to" and Thunderbird stores this state information in the popstate.dat file in your profile (there is one in each POP mail account folder). If the anti virus, or you for that matter, end the conversation a few seconds early that hand off does not occur and the popstate is not stored.

I think you should add the printer using the default browser (Bonjour), or, More Printers > HP IP.

MacBook no longer able to print wirelessly?

Hello
I have an issue that I can't seem to come up with a reason for or a resolution. I apologize in advance for the length of this posting.
We have a Dell Laptop that is connected wirelessly to a Brother MFC-420CN printer. We have a Linksys Router. Previously, we'd also had been connected wirelessly to the same printer and our MacBook. The Mac was connected to the printer through an Internet/IPP connection, using the IP address. We had no trouble printing from the Mac.
On Christmas, the Mac stopped printing wirelessly to the printer. We got the message "Failed to connect to device." We tried re-installing, etc, and finally went out and bought a USB/printer cable and connected hardwire Mac to printer, and after that, it again printed wirelessly.
Problem solved, right?
Now, its happened again, but we cannot get the Mac and the printer to talk to each other. Each time we try, we get the same message "Failed to connect to device" but nothing has changed! This has happened literally overnight, one night it prints wirelessly, the next day it doesn't. Even connecting hardwire between the Mac & printer does not help this time. We've tried everything we can think of.
No issues w/the PC and printer at all.
Additional info: The PC and the Mac are NOT networked w/each other. Also, when we enter in the original IP address under the Mac printer installation, it immediately identifies the printer as the MFC-420CN, however, this is NOT the same IP address as on the Linksys router, but if we put in the IP address on the router, it no longer recognizes the printer.Printer sharing is enabled on the PC, although it wasn't previously. We can print hardwire from the Mac. Finally, the router and the Mac work fine wirelessly for the internet.
We're literally at a loss. It worked fine, then overnight, it doesn't.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! I am a new Mac user so please bear with me!

Hello
We weren't using that method to add the printer, however, we did try using both the original IP address as well as the one we see when we open the router properties, and still no luck.
Does the printer have its on IP address? Separate from the router IP address? If so, how would we find it?
Thanks

I'm trying to share a new Canon printer wirelessly between my HP laptop and my iMac. I've successfully printed from both computers, but, I get errors trying to print on one after I've printed on the other. Any ideas on how to get them to both to print?

I installed a new Canon printer several months ago that I was told by the salesman could be shared between my iMAC and HP laptop. I have successfully used the printer wirelessly from both computers, however, it gets hung up switching between the two and I'm not sure what to do to get it to be consistent. Any ideas?

You didn't state how it's connected to each computer, if it's connected through your router then it should work. If it doesn't then you need to contact Canon and ask for assistance.

Can no longer print wirelessly after SL install

I cannot wirelessly print to my Xerox Phaser 6130N following installation of Snow Leopard. I downloaded the 2.0 version of the driver from the Apple site, which enabled my MacBook to recongize the printer (finally!) when I hooked it up via USB. But printing wirelessly is no longer possible. Anyone have any suggestions?

Just to be clear here, there are several cases we are talking about
1) A USB printer hooked up to an Airport base station (or other network device that provides a USB print spooler).
2) A printer with build in Ethernet connected to your network.
3) A printer with built in Wireless connected to your wireless network.
Option 2 or 3 should work for any functioning print driver as long as that print driver is configured for a network interface. In the case of the HP printers, any printer that has build in networking the drivers are automatically configured this way.
Option 1 is a bit more confusing. As pointed out first, your printer driver must be enabled for networking, even if your printer doesn't have a network interface on it. We have in the past had drivers go out without this flag checked. There are no Snow Leopard drivers in this category (that I am aware of). The other problem that lots of people seem to be running into is that printing to a USB printer attached to an Airport seems not to be working for people who do not have actual Snow Leopard drivers. Unfortunately there are some HP printers that fall into this category.
That being said, InsaneMisha, your Officejet 6500 does have Snow Leopard compatible drivers, and since it is a network device, we can't turn off the network interface. So, if you can provide more details of what your problem is I may be able to help. And note to solve the problem may require re-installing the drivers.
Just trying to help.

HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP used to print wirelessly, now won't

At some point the printer stopped printing wirelessly. I completely uninstalled and reinstalled the software from DVD, and have run "wireless" setup several times. It will only print through a USB cable. ScanDr only reports that it can't communicate with the printer. The wireless network works fine, though we are also unable to print wirelessly to a different printer when both used to work. I don't know if this is a software/printer problem or a Windows 7 problem (i'm on an ASUS laptop) or a Kaspersky problem or a router problem or what. Have wasted hours trying various suggested solutions and nothing so far has made any difference.

Hello JBC666,
I understand that you are having an issue with printing wireless from your M1217nfw. I can understand how frustrating this can be. I would like to confirm a couple of things with you to get better understanding of your setup.
1) How far away from the printer is the router?
2) Has there been an recent changes that could have caused the issue?
As well printing a network test report, is an excellent option to find out if there is any issues with the connection at all. I have included the following steps to print the test.
1) Press the wrench button
2) Press the right arrow until you see Network Config
3) Press Ok
4) Press the right arrow until you see Network Test
5) Press Ok
1) Does anything fail on this test?
2) What is the signal quality?
3) Are you able to view the printers embedded web server?
   Steps to accessing the embedded web server
   1) Open up your internet browser
   2) Type the IP address (from the test report) into the address bar
   3) Press Enter
Thank you.

Unable to Print Wireless anymore HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M251nw

I've owned my extremely good HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M251nw for around 10 months now but all of a sudden it has stopped printing wireless. If I print via a USB it works fine. I have downloaded new drivers and Firmware, done numerious restarts on both mac/pcs and printer but this still hasn't fixed the issue. I have run a number of Network Tests and all are coming back OK. When I try to configure the machine using the Online Printer Utility it cannt connect to my network (even though the self diagnostic test on pritner tells me everything is OK. I am running a mixture of both Mac and PC's and cant print from any of my devices. Bonjour print is enabled on the pritner but i cant see a bonjour IP address on my Mac.
Printer is still under warrenty but obviously feel that this is a last resort.

Hi @bluemango,
I see by your post that the printer stopped working over the wireless network. I can help you with this.
Restore the network defaults on the printer.
Go to setup, network setup, restore defaults.
Power cycle the router and computers.
Then run the wireless setup on the printer.
Go to setup, network setup, wireless menu, wireless setup wizard.
Print off a configuration page, to make sure the printer has a valid IP address.
Printing a Configuration Report. Print the report from the printer's control panel.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer or Safari)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
On the Mac, try and add the printer through Printers and Scanners or run the installation.
On the Windows computer, run the add printer wizard through the printers window or run the installation.

Can I make my HP laserjet m1522nf mfp printing wirelessly?

I have this non-wireless hp laserjet m1522nf mfp printer at home. I have two laptops and am using FiOS wireless router for wireless internet access. I also have a Rosewill wireless router. It is not a printer server, just a regular wireless router. Now I use an enthernet cable connecting printer to Rosewill wireless router. Can I print from my laptops? If yes, how can I set it up?
I know I can either buy a wireless printer server, or a wireless adaptor or use one of the laptop as printer server to make this work. But I want to try laptop + Rosewill wireless router + HP printer route.
Thanks in advance,
-J. Z.

Hi,
Based on its specs, it has:
Connectivity, standard
10/100Base-T Ethernet network port, Hi-Speed USB 2.0 compatible port.
Connectivity, optional
None
You may be able to connect it to a wireless rounter and config it on the same wireless network then you can print wirelessly.
Please use the following book (page #13) to set it up.
