Re: HP Printer Wireless Set up Issue
Thanks for the feedback iTinkerlot but have actually done all of that already. I actually found the old HP printer manual which is the same information that you sent me online so I have been doing all of those things the last couple of days including restoring the network defaults on the printer. I just think the printer is too old and is using WPA only, and the 5g device is using WPA2/WPA3. For now I will just go with connecting to printer with USB as short term solution, and then longer term will buy another printer since they aren't too expensive these days at least for what I need one for. Thanks again Everyone for your feedback!17Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: HP Printer Wireless Set up Issue
That is interesting since my home computer is as old as my printer and doesn't have a wireless card in it so I have it connected to the 5g internet device with Ethernet cable so not sure what it would be using. It might be combined one automatically since it is not using a SSID when using Ethernet cable? I just tested using the 2.4 GHz SSID from printer and still not working, but now the showstopper might be that I can only connect to 5g device over Ethernet vs Wireless and can't chose 2.4 GHz SSID.12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: HP Printer Wireless Set up Issue
No, 2.4 and 5 GHZ are combined since that was the default. I could try doing this but think one of the people that was having same issue as me replied that they already tried splitting them up into separate SSIDs and it didn't work for them. But I will give that a try today. ¡Gracias!12Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: HP Printer Wireless Set up Issue
Thanks all for replying on this. When I did the initial networking configuration setup way back when I first got the printer, I just followed the instructions on the HP CD to set up the wireless and don't recall ever specifying a static IP vs DHCP. Assume it would be defaulted to use DHCP. But over the last couple of days, I re-installed the printer set up from that same CD along with trying to set up the Wireless connectivity and don't see any static IP vs DHCP configuration selection. It just fails on that last step after selecting my SSID and password. So since I am not very networking savy, can you guys tell me how I could find out if my printer is using a static IP vs using DHCP? Assume this is something I should be able to see from my computer as long as it is connected to the printer using the USB since that is the only way to connect currently? On my printer, there aren't many Wireless options to look at from the console. Thanks again for your replies!16Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: HP Printer Wireless Set up Issue
Hi iTinkeralot, So the only thing that changed in my setup is that I now have the 5g home internet wifi device instead of using internet through cable company. So my wireless printer has been working this whole time from when I originally set it up so it is not like any ports would have been blocked or firewall rules would be causing issues since then the wireless printing would have never worked to begin with, correct? My OS is Windows 10 and I did disable my Windows Defender Firewall security temporarily and tried configuring wireless printing again and get the same error that has to do with MAC address filtering and disabling that on my router. When I have the printer plugged into USB, it is showing as IDLE, and when I unplug it from USB, it shows as OFFLINE. At least I can print when I am connected to USB for now. It may be that the printer is pretty old? I am planning on getting another printer in the near future anyway so hoping that a newer one I won't have this issue. Any other suggestions on the MAC address filtering and how I can possibly disable that temporarily? ¡Gracias!15Visto0likes0ComentariosHP Printer Wireless Set up Issue
Since setting up my 5g home internet device, I am not able to connect my HP Photosmart C4599 wireless printer to it. I reinstalled it on my home computer which connects to the modem with ethernet cable. I currently have the printer set up using cable connected to home computer, but when I try to configure it over wireless, I am not able to complete the set up. I get to the point where I select my SSID and put in my password so that is all working, but then after that it fails for "MAC Address Filtering may be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent your HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.Temporarily disable MAC address filtering on your wireless router." I got into the router using the admin user/password but don't see an advanced option for disabling MAC address filtering. Is there a way to do this or what other options do I have? ¡Gracias por tu ayuda!16KViews1like37Comentarios
