WRT54G & HP Laserjet 4/MV

Hi Folks - I'm at a loss here. Maybe someone can help (I HOPE!). I have an older HP LaserJet 4/mv & I cannot ping it through the router with either the PC or my Mac yet I CAN print to it through all Macs on the network (those hardwired & wireless). I CANNOT print to it from the PC in any way shape of form. I re-set (did a cold start) on the printer to try to get it to pull a new IP address from the router but all it seems to come up with is the default HP IP address (192.0.0.192). Any ideas? Thanks For Your Time:-)

im suprised your macs can see it and print.  but if you can change the default ip to 192.168.1.2 on the printer and subnet of 255.255.255.0 with default gateway being your router that im assuming is 192.168.1.1
if your router is 192.168.2.1 then the settings would be 192.168.2.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.2.1 get the idea?
unless you have another static ip devise that is 192.168.1.2 then go to the next available like 192.168.1.3
all your pc's and macs printer ports will then need to be directed to the new ip address of the printer.
look at the thread above and see if that helps

  • Hp laserjet 4015 network issue need help

    hello and sorry if you all seen this already, i did this post yesterday but its not showing up and my info is not showing i did the post.
    ok here's the deal.  i have a hp laserjet p4015n printer.  right now its connected to a network and every pc thats on the network can see it and print to it etc.
    however the current internet package is too expensive and i am planning on doing away with the current provider and goign with a different one.  but i have to give them back the equipment.
    so i am trying to get everything set up before i do that and i am having problems.
    i can get everything else working just fine regardless of what router i  use and on both the old slower brother printer is found and can print just fine but the hp printer refuses to be recognized.
    i have two routers i have tried this with
    a belkin n600
    linksys wrt54g
    with the linksys router when the printer is connected to it it shows as a device is connected as the light lights up solid but nothing i do can get the printer installed.
    i can not ping the route either.
    its connected to the router via an ethernet cable
    the pcs on the network mostly use win 7 but one is using windows vista but none can install the printer.
    i've tried installin gusin ghte host name and ip address
    tried using hp's installation software but it just don't find the printer.
    this is all driving me nuts and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

  • HP LaserJet 6MP & HP JetDirect 300x connection problem

    I've done a search and read these threads:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11078808#11078808
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11086516#11086516
    Still can't get my printer to print.
    Here's my set-up:
    I have an iMac and a HP LaserJet 6MP. I used to use the AsanteTalk gadget (and an AppleTalk cable), which enabled my printer and iMac to communicate perfectly via an ethernet cable and the ethernet port on my computer. Now I've upgraded to Snow Leopard. So, I read the discussions here, and purchased the HP Jet Direct 300x (from eBay... it took me two tries, 7 days for the auction to end and another 4 days for the thing to be delivered).
    What I've done so far:
    Purchased a parallel cable for the printer.
    Connected the cable to the printer and the JetDirect.
    Connected the ethernet cable from the the JetDirect to the iMac's ethernet port.
    Hit the "test" button on the JetDirect to get the "Configuration Page".
    FIRST, using the same ethernet cable I'd been using with my AsanteTalk, it gave me an IP address of "0.0.0.0". Then I tried changing to a different ethernet cable. (I'm not sure what the difference between the two are, other than one is yellow and one is orange.)
    Then I got the Configuration Page printout of: "IP ADDRESS: 192.0.0.192"
    (which I discovered from the HP website is one of two factory defaults for this device.)
    I tried going to "Add Printer" in my "Print & Fax" settings.
    I chose the Protocol: "HP Jetdirect - Socket"
    In the IP Address field, I tried typing that IP address, but then all I get is the endless Status window that says "Determining Installable Options..." and "Status: Connecting to printer..."
    I went to the "Network" settings and under "Ethernet" it has sayings "Configure Using DHCP" and has an IP Address that starts with 169... so I tried putting that IP address in the Add Printer field. That didn't work either.
    So, now what?? I've been unable to print for two weeks and it's maddening.
    Your help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    It sounds like you figured it out, but the HP JetDirect 300x needs to be connected to your Network, not directly to your Mac. If your AT&T DSL/Cable Modem doubles as a router with additional Ethernet ports, you plug the HP JetDirect 300x into one of the modem's available Ethernet ports. The router will assign an IP address to the JetDirect. You then print the configuration page for the JetDirect to see the IP address that it was given. Then you add the Printer to your Mac using the IP option, and the HP JetDirect-Socket selection. Type in the IP address in the top section, and then choose HP LaserJet 6P/6MP - PostScript for the PPD file in the lower section. You can also change the IP address in the lower section to re-name the printer as HP LaserJet 6MP before clicking the Add button.
    If the AT&T Modem only has a single Ethernet port to connect to your Mac, then you would have to buy a Cable/DSL Router (such as the Linksys WRT54G) to connect additional computers (and the HP JetDirect) to your modem, essentially creating your own home network to share your internet connection. It sounds like your AT&T Modem has additional Ethernet ports since it also features Wireless access.

  • HP LaserJet 1012 - Wireless from Mac to PC

    Hi all,
    Here's my situation:
    I have a desktop PC running Vista that my HP Laserjet 1012 is connected to - works fine. Wired connection to Linksys WRT54G.
    I have a MBP 2.33GHZ C2D connected wirelessly to the WRT54G.
    I would like to be able to print wirelessly from my MBP to my Laserjet 1012 while still keeping it connected to my PC. I did a few searches and got a bit lost I'm afraid. I tried sharing the printer (and I believe I successfully "logged into it" on the printer menu on my Mac) but I was unable to locate the printer.
    Any ideas about the easiest way to do this? Thanks!

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 600 M602 driver issue

    Hello,
    I've got issue with 600-series printers. We use the latest UPD drivrer ver. 61.175.1.18849 and print from XenApp 6.5. The error occurs every time when users try to print jpg files from XenApp session. It only happens with 600 series printers and UPD.
    Also I've tried to assign native 600-series driver ver. 6.3.9600.16384 and it works good. But with that driver system says that it's color printer and it brokes our printing reports. These reports are very important for us. So we can't use printer and that driver as well.
    Printer installed on Windows Server 2012 R2. All clients are Windows 7 x64. XenApp Servers are Server 2008R2.
    Is it possible to get fixed UPD driver or correct native driver for Server 2012 R2?
    Regards,
    Anatoly

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 551dn - where did the drivers go?

    I go to the download page to download the drivers for this 551dn.  I download all windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008, 2012, so that i can put them on my print server.  I downloaded them from here..

    when i get the file, lets say for windows 7/64bit, i choose...
    HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver (no Installer) 61.130.04.12834
    24 Sep 2014 21.3
    I get the file downloaded (LJEnt-color-M551-Drv-no-installer_12297.exe), i run it, get the security warning and Run.  the file extracts - then POOF, the installer is gone.
    where did the files go?  They aren't on the root of the C: drive, a folder/files were not created on my desktop, no files or folder created in my downloads folder.
    I was never asked for a file save location.... ???  really?   is this this basic stuff? 
    Where are the files?  this $$$ printer is a brick until i get drivers! 
    Thanks!

    UPDATE- I FOUND THE FILES!!
    First of all, HP... i'm not impressed.
    All the files for all the drivers are in a series of temp folders...
    C:\Users\-myusername-\AppData\Local\Temp\3\7zS4A73
    really?
    hope this helps someone. 

    There is no change to this problem after 6 months since the last post. Put simply, and as stated in the previous posts, there is no way to scan a document and receive the image on your PC. If you are working with graphics for any length of time or want to create an image for inclusion as an image in a document or web page using this piece of equipment will not allow you to do so.
    Great shame as every other function works well - it cannot be beyond the wit of HP to include a Windows application that enables you to scan an image, receive it in the software you are using at the time (e.g. Outlook, Word, Photoshop...) and use it in your work.
    HP Printers several years older than this £1000+ Enterprise printer were able to do this simple job and have done so for a great many years. Just being able to use Microsoft's Fax and Scan would be start.

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 color M551dn - Optional USB Device port

    Hi, I'm hoping to buy the optional wireless print server (HP Jetdirect 2700w USB Wireless Print Server J8026A). There is one problem though, the optional USB device port seems to not exist on my printer. I only notice that the USB logo is present where the port is supposed to be. The plastic in the area is squared off as though it is some sort of break away tab and the port is underneath maybe.
    There is no reference to this in the manual anywhere and I am really unsure how to proceed. I don't want to damage anything.
    If someone experienced with this model (preferably an HP Employee) can confirm the availability of the port and tell me how to access it (Is it a break away tab?). Part of the reason why I bought this printer is the optional Wireless N print server.
    Thank You in advance.

    Thank You for your reply. The port you are talking about is the front panel port for walk-up usb printing and firmware upgrades. This port is indeed available on the higher end LaserJet 500 (NON-MFP, printer only edition) as I just used it to upgrade the firmware. The port I am talking about is the one on the left side in the ports section which you use to plug in the optional print server (not the computer I/O port).
    This is shown in the official manual and the spec sheet so I'm 85% sure the port is there, hp can't advertise and mention something that is not available as this would be a big problem and make the 2700w print server incompatible when it clearly states that it is. I just need someone to confirm the availability and clear my confusion (either from HP, or another owner who bought the wireless print server 2700w).

  • HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 - Can't scan from Windows

    We recently purchased and installed an HP LaserJet Enterprise 500 Color MFP M575 to be used as a networked all-in-one solution for a number of offices. I have been able to get it set up on our network and have installed the appropriate drivers on the requested Windows 7 x64 machines, and network printing works perfectly. However, it seems that despite the fancy scanning features available from the all-in-one itself (scan to email, scan to a network folder, etc.), I can't find any way to do an old-fashioned scan from Windows.
    I have installed the full software solution available on the driver download page for the device, and while Windows lists the device as a "Multi Function Printer; Scanner" it does not recognize it as an actual scanner. The built-in Windows Fax and Scan simply reports that no scanners are installed. The software installation did not include the HP Solution Center (which I am used to seeing from my experience with various other HP all-in-one devices) or any equivalent for direct scanning. The driver download page for the device does not include any separate scanning drivers, so I can't be certain if they were included with the full installation or exist at all.Some of our staff also use Adobe Acrobat to scan, and even that fails to recognize the MFP as a scanner.
    We'll eventually be setting up the device to scan directly to a network folder, but we need a fallback while IT takes their time getting it set up; I can't imagine that the simplest option is not available at all. I must be missing something here, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Edit: To add, I also ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor. Interestingly, it reports the device as a printer and only offers to "Fix Printing" without any sort of resolution for my scanning problem.

  • HP AiO remote doesn't recognize 3rd party toner as compatible in LaserJet M1217nfw MFP

    Hi,
    I have a HP Envy 17 running Windows 8.1, a MacBook Air, an iPhone and a HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP.  I recently replaced the toner with a 3rd party replacement cartridge and while the printer does give me a "supply memory error" I am still able to print just fine from the Mac and my phone.  I am unable however to print from my Envy.  The HP All-in-One Remote app in Windows 8 gives me an "incompatible cartridge" message and says there are no solutions availble.  Is there a work-around to this?
    I am not very good at Windows 8....
    Thanks

    Hi Thaddeus,
    Although the printer may resoponse to some commands, a supply memory error is an error state about the used cartridge.
    Due the error message on the screen the HP AIO Remote recognize the cartridge as incompatible, that cannot be bypassed
    with any settings, resolving the issue which cause the error message is the only key to resolve a such.
    If the HP AiO Remote fails to print in such condition the only solution is to fully resolve the condition by following the steps listed in my previous post.

  • AiO Remote and LaserJet

    I have a HP LaserJet CM1415fnw and the firmware is 20131028.
    It prints perfectly from my PC Windows 7(64bit) and quarter size from my Ipad iOS 7.0.6.
    If I use HP ePrint it prints but I get a dirty shadow repeat 56mm down the page for the bottom half of the sheet which is unacceptable.
    I would like to use AiO Remote but the program cannot find my printer which is connected to my router by an ethernet cable any ideas would be appreciated?

    Hello kingfishers,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you are trying to print to your Laserjet CM1415fnw printer. You indicated you have a couple of different issues; printing from iPad is smaller than from your computer, you have print quality issues when using ePrint, and the AiO app doesn't find your printer.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
    1)       When trying to print from your iPad are you using Apple's AirPrint feature or the HP ePrint app? Are you trying to print a photo from your iPad when your documents seems to shrink to roughly 1/4 the size?
    2)      Are you getting the "dirty shadow" when you print the same document from your computer? Are you emailing the document to the printer or are you using the HP ePrint app?
    3)      You indicated that your printer is plugged into your router using an ethernet cable which would be why the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app cannot find it.  I've included The Printer Does Not Support Ethernet (Wired) and Wireless Network Connections at the Same Time for your reference.

  • HP LaserJet Pro M177fw and AIO Remote App

    Will HP AIO App remote supports HP LaserJet Pro M177fw Multifunction Printer later. 
    Or is there any other way to control the printer to scan without going back to my computer? 

    @Ashley8 
    With regards to the no support of the AiO remote app and the m177, this is only on the iOS and android app.
    You will need to use your desktop/computer as your go to scan for the m177.

  • WRT54GS No Longer Recognized by Windows

    My WRT54GS is no longer detectable by Windows.  I've tried everything I can think of.  Nothing works.  The only lights that flash are Ethernet 3, 4, and Internet.  They flash randomly.  The Power light, WLAN, and Ethernet 1 and 2 no longer light up.  I've reset the router several times and still nothing.

    ive had the same problem before.
    I had reset it, tripple checked all settings. in the end i down powered my broadband modem then into the router,
    then on "Administration"
    then "Factory defaults"
    then ticked box to yes to reset
    then onto save settings
    after that down powered everything inc PC and then powered everything back up, set up router again and then it worked ok then.

  • Print to LaserJet 3150 Shared by Windows XP Pro

    I have an older, but servicable LaserJet 3150 hooked to my Windows XP Pro desktop at work.
    A long time ago, I set it up to share with OS X by creatign a virtual printer using GhostScript and some other queuing utility - this made is look like a PostScript Laserwriter. Worked great!
    Alas, as common with Windows, the system decided to blow iteself away, and had to be rebuilt. I did not keep recipee, and cannot find it online.
    Has anybody seen it? The problem is that the LaserJet 3150 is a impure PCL printer using its own format.
