Hi Tim,

If your printer is Hp Deskjet F4280 then its not wireless printer. You can connect it through USB or you can go for print server to make it wireless

Select your AIO printer and look under Software & Drivers downloads.
Choose the operating system for the new laptop.
Do not make a connection until you've finished the installation or when a message appears to connect and put on the printer.

You did not indicate your operating system

HP OfficeJet 4580 No Scan Options Vista

Most common problem, not having the full-featured software installed for your model and OS.

Hope this information will help you
thank you

i had the same problem with the hp 4580. i needed to replace the black ink which i did. then the error message appeared "incompatible print cartridge tri color"...chatted with hp customer support, wasted a hour. claimed its a hardware problem need to have it fixed. i asked would i be charge he said yes but the printer was under warranty. he asked other questions...bottom line i left the chat box....bought another hp 4580, used same cartridges, same message...THEN finally i replaced the color cartridge...and BAM! it worked on both printers. solution...replace the color cartridge...cons..if this happens again its a waste of money to keep buying the colored ink...

Just go to your Server or Desktop PC and enable the RPC service (Remote Procedure Call)
Right click in "My computer" icon, from the manu select "Manage" then go to "Services and Applications" and expand that, after that select "Services" you will find that services in the right pane, just click in "Start"

I hope this work for you, good luck!!!!
