Installed a new wireless router, now my wireless HP printer wont print. The printer works fine but my computer doesnt recognize it even though its installed. It shows up in the list of printers but won't printe. It says my computer doesn't recognize it. Was I supposed to inut my WEP code for my new router somewhere and if so, where?

Is your access point forcing G mode ? My printer will not connect if I do this on my AP. I have to leave the AP in "mixed b/g" mode and "Auto TX Rate" otherwise c6180 will not maintain its connection.

I think the printer claims to have G compatibility but in reality is connecting in B mode. This is borne out by the fact that my wifi bandwidth to my SAN is crippled when the printer is part of the network becaue the AP drops to the lowest common denominator. Unfortunately there arent any status pages on the printer to confirm what Rx/Tx rate it is getting. I wonder why...

IMHO this printer is really annoying.

If you use the scanner a lot, forget wireless and use a USB key it is a million times more relaxing.

I helped a friend with this problem. He had Vista and was running through a Linksys router. You could see the printer, access the webserver through Internet Explorer by browsing to the IP (192.168.1.X), but the print job would hang, but would kick off immediateley if you reboot, but after it came up and printed that one job, it wouldn't print again. Here is the fix:

Find the IP of the printer and the exact name, which you should be able to get from browsing in Internet explorer to the IP. I think its under the farthest left tab and the 2nd option on the sidebar. I renamed it to HPC6180 because the original name was something like HP92601345U.

Now right click on the start button and click properties and select Classic Start Menu and click Apply/OK. (You can change this back later)

Click on the start button again and click Run and type in "drivers". When that folder opens up, go into the "etc" folder.

Right click on the file named "hosts" and click properties and uncheck "Read Only"

Then double click on the "hosts" file and open it in notepad.
Go down to the first line that isn't commented, it should say something like 127.0.0.1. Position your cursor on that line and hit enter to move 127.0.0.1 down one row. Then enter the IP address of your printer. Space over and line up with the entry below and add the Host Name (mine was HPC6180).

Click file and Save As, and in the file type, change it from .txt to "All files" and click ok, and click OK to overwrite existing file.

Close all your windows and reboot and try to print again. It should work now.

SOURCE: how to hook up this printer wireless to my main computer

We cannot connect the pro l7680 printer wirelessly. Connect the printer to the router via ethernet cable and connect the desktop to the router wirelessly.

Perhaps you might wanna try checking the IP address of the printer and see if it matches that of the ones that are mapped in each individual computer. There might be many factors in the "strange" events that have occured (PC gremlins, i call it). That should be an initial starting point.

Resetting the router wouldnt help, cause it is the router that issues different dynamic IP addresses (otherwise known as DHPC) to each and eveny node connected to the netwrok as well.

Another important thing to note is HOW these devices are connected to the router. Wirelessly? Wired connection? The fact that you can see the printer via the router means that there is no problem with the router's end, so the problem lies in the intermidiate connection from the computers to the router. Try to work on this angle. Thanks.

for reseting the password of ur dlink router u have to press the rest button on the dlink router (genrallyit on the bottom or on the back of the router it is like a hole u have to use a pen or pin to reset the router back to its factory default settings after that password of the router will automatically back to admin or password login to ur router change the settings to static ip in the router so that u can provide the static ip of the other router to ur this router (example if primary router HL 2170 ip address is 192.168.1.1 then u will provide this dlink router the ip address as 192.168.1.5, subnet 255.255.255.0 default gateway 192.168.1.1 primary dns 192.168.1.1 now save the settings in the dlink router now the ethernet cable from ur other router will go directly in to the internetor wan port of this router. now connect wirelessly to any router both will work fine without any problem
