I am hopeful that you did find a solution. I am having the same problem and I cannot find a thing to resolve this issue, other than deleting the printer and reinstalling it.
Would you mind letting me know if you were able to resolve this problem?
Thank You,
Kirk
The IP address for the printer is not recognized. Go to your wireless printer and via set-up button print out network config page it will have IP address of wireless printer. Then Go to PC control panel- printers-right click yours--properties-ports---config port---change IP address to that from print out--save/apply. Works.
Hi Kirk,
After a lot of trawling though various sites and a bit of open interpretation from a few suggestions I did find a solution to this problem that has fixed the issue.
To correct this issue you need to turn off SNMP on the printers port. To do this follow these steps:
1) Open the Printers item in Control Panel.
2) Click on the printer that is having the issue, HP C6180 in my case.
3) Right click on the printer and select Properties from the pop-up menu.
4) Select the Ports tab and click/highlight on port listed with a tick next to it, mine is HPC1680 but can be listed as your printers name or IP and depending on the number of re-installs sometimes with a '_1' after it.
5) Click the Configure Port button.
6) Un-tick the SNMP Status Enabled option.
7) Click OK and Save to all the windows.
8) Reboot (just to make sure!)
I found that this has completely resolved this problem on 4 machines running various versions of Vista (Home Premium, Business & Ultimate). 3 of the 4 machines have had no other issues but one of them has a slightly diffeent problem now where sometimes large prints form Word will freeze and end up erroring. Not sure how much this is word having an issue though.
Hope this sorts your problem out as well.
Cheers,
Adrian
