RJ45 Port Hi there Just purchased a HP Officejet 7140xi all-in-one unit. I want to connect it to my office network. As far as I understood, there was to be an RJ45 port on the printer to connect to my network using CAT cable. There is only 1 USB, 3 ASDL and 1 empty parrallel connector card slot at the rear, no RJ45. Can I connect to my ethernet connection with one of these or am I missing something?

Yes your hp office jet 6110 works on chrome book by following the below methods:
Method 1: Check system requirements
• Chrome book connected to the network with an active Internet connection.
• Create Google account in the latest version of chrome browser.
• The printer hardware is set up and connected Chrome book with a USB cable or wireless network.
• USB connection: Make sure the cable is securely connected to the printer and to a working USB port on your Chrome book or computer.
• Wireless network connection: On the printer, make sure the wireless signal is turned on and the printer is connected to your network. Make sure the printer is connected to the same network the Chrome book or computer connects to.
Method 2: Install HP Print for Chrome

2. Click ADD TO CHROME.


A confirmation message displays. Adding the HP Print for Chrome app

HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 is one of the most user-friendly printers. But for them to work, you need one important pice of software to work flawlessly. HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 driver. You can look up the HP site for the driver by giving two pieces of information. The first one to provide the site with is the printer model number, which we already have and know. For the second part, you must specify the OS your computer is functioning on. Once you provide the two, you'll have the driver to download and you can install it. Then you can be easily setup HP Officejet Pro 8710 Printer.

You need to get the "HP 14" black and color cartridges.

4. Leave the #6 button after 5 seconds.
5. Follow the instructions to align the printer.

( Hopefully this should fix the issue, else consider your printer as broken unit which cannot be fixed )

If you still get the error message, Your printer is broken. Contact www.hp.com/support and enter 7140xi in product and choose chat or email to let HP know the issue.

Another option is to find an old laptop, with "wireless" capabilities and a Parallel Port.

Connect the printer to the laptop.

Connect the laptop to your wireless network.

Tell the laptop to "share" the printer.

Then, any computer on your network can "find" the networked printer, and can print to it.

simply connect the rj45 cable and create the printer using hp network printer software. you can download it from the hp website

Hi Tony,

I assumed you'd like to share the printer on network. I recommend to buy a printer server device that will connect USB port of printer and that device has RJ45 port that can be connected to router or switch hub to share the purpose. Hope this gives you an idea.

Best regards,
Rosener

test the printer network cable for connectivity,but if the network interface fails u can use other ports like the usb port with the usb network interface adaptor to connect to the network once uve confirmed that the RJ45 network interface is bad

All over the web the concensus seems to be disassembly and cleaning bulb, mirros and/or the glass and a calibration strip. Mine has the same error, and I'm gonna try the cleaning those locations. This forum mentioned a disassembly procedure for the D145, I hope it's the same for the 7100 series (7140XI) I'll post back my success.
