I have the same problem.... trying to use lubricants and done some cleaning, but no luck... till i found out that using an extension cord with several devices plugged in will lessen the amount of current that flows to the devices.. that's why the printer's motor can't able to do his job because of no enough power.... Connect the printer's plug directly to the wall...


it works for me....

The one that is missing in the network is the printer.So try to reconfigure the IP of the printer again using the wireless wizard in the printer manager. Or go to Using the HP Network Diagnostic Utility in Windows - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

Also ; Very seldom does the printer itself cause problems. To determine if you have printer trouble, do the following:

• If you're using a wireless connection, see if the wireless indicator lamp is illuminated? Can you turn on the wireless radio from the control panel of the printer?
• Print a Network Configuration page and a Wireless Network Test report from your printer's control panel, if available.
  • Does the Wireless Network Test report indicate trouble?
  • Does the report indicate that the printer is connected to your wireless router, and not to a neighbor's? The network name the printer is connected to will be shown on the both the Network Configuration page and Wireless Network Test report.
  • Compare the printer's IP address [X]
    IP address
    An IP address is a series of numbers by which computers, printers and other devices on a network are known. An IP address is usually issued by the local wireless router (network) from its DHCP service. A device is given an IP address that is similar to the wireless router's IP address. For example, if the wireless router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, a printer may be given an IP address of 192.168.1.5. to the gateway IP address [X]
    Gateway IP address
    This is the IP address of your wireless router. . They should have a similar format (for example, the gateway IP address might be 192.168.0.1 and the printer IP address 192.168.0.5). If the printer has an IP address similar to 169.254.XXX.XXX, it probably is not connected to your wireless network.
  • On some printers, the Network Configuration page will list all wireless networks detected in your area. Is your network listed among those found? Does it have good signal strength?
  • Are there several wireless networks on your same channel or using channels close to your channel? You should use a channel at least 5 channels away from the closest used channel. Consider changing your wireless router's channel to 1, 6 or 11.
• Are there any error messages on the printer or unexpected blinking lights (consult your manual to determine what to expect)?
• Reset your printer (usually by removing the power cord from the back of the printer, waiting 30 seconds and then reconnecting the cord. Consult your manual for specifics).
• Restart your wireless router [X]
  Wireless router
  A wireless router is networking hardware that allows both wired and wireless devices to connect to a network. When connected to a wireless router, devices such as computers, printers, and other Wi-Fi enabled electronics can share one Internet connection AND connect to each other. Connections can be made to the wireless router through a wireless connection or a wired connection using an Ethernet cable. by unplugging the power cord, waiting 60 seconds, then reconnecting the cord to the wireless router.

The easiest way for you to accomplish this is to go onto the desktop computer, and go to control panel and printers & faxes.

From there right click on the printer icon and go under sharing. Turn the sharing on for this printer.

On the laptop, now surf to the ip address of the desktop. If sharing is on correctly the printer should show up. Double click the printer icon and follow the prompts to setup the printer.

If done properly you will then be able to print to the printer THRU the desktop as long as your network settings on the laptop are set correctly to see the desktop.

open the printer folder and right click on it then cilck on use printer online n ur done.
if u r using windows, click on start then on printers and faxes u'll see list of printers there. right click on the printer u r using then click on use printer online
thank u

May your printer doesn't fit to your operating system because Windows Vista is one of the complicated OS and hard to find installer or software to fit it in. Try to Replace your operating system that same as your brother have. maybe it can fix your problem!
