HP Photosmart B209a-m Through the solution center, can only print and scan through USB cable. Wireless setup doesn't work. Can set up the wireless printer only through Add new Printer in config panel, but then the scanner doesn't work. I've tried all the solutions I could find to setup the wireless through the CD (adding ports in firewall...etc) to no avilability

HP photosmart c309 printer continues to not print or will only print the header and stops printing. How do I fix it?

Network troubleshooting
If you are encountering issues using your HP Photosmart over a network, try the following steps in the order listed:

  1. Turn off the router, product, and computer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first, then the product, and finally the computer. Sometimes, cycling the power will recover a network
    communication issue.
  2. For wireless networking issues, run the Wireless Network Test from the product control panel.
    1. Press Setup.
    2. Press the down arrow button until Network is highlighted, and then press OK.
    3. Press the down arrow button until Wireless Network Test is highlighted, and then press OK.
      The Wireless Network Test prints.
    If a problem is detected, the printed test report will include recommendations that might help solve the problem. If you need to change the network settings on your product or have never run the Wireless Setup Wizard, do so now.
    Double-click the HP Solution Center icon, click Settings, click Other Settings, select Network Toolbox, and then select the Wireless Setup Wizard link.
  3. If the previous steps do not solve the problem and you have successfully installed the HP Photosmart Software on your computer, run the Network Diagnostic tool.
NOTE: The diagnostic test might prompt you to connect a USB cable between the product and your computer. Position the product and computer near each other and have a USB cable readily accessible.
To run the Network Diagnostic tool. In the Solution Center, click Settings, click Other Settings, and then click Network
Toolbox. On the Utilities tab, click Run Network Diagnostics.If you are unable to run the Network Diagnostic tool or it does not help solve the problem, check the following sections for additional information:

  1. Make sure that the computer is connected to your network
  2. Make sure that the product is connected to your network
  3. Check to see if the firewall software is blocking communication
  4. Make sure the product is online and ready
  5. Make sure the HP Device Discovery software is running

How do i change the ssid on my photosmart plus b209a-m printer

Step 1: Click on Windows icon (bottom left hand screen)
Step 2: Select Devices and Printers
Step 3: Right Click on "HP Photosmart Printer Plus B209a-m"

Step 4: Select "Printing Preferences"
Step 5: Click on Tab "Features"
Step 6: Select "Printer Services" in the bottom right hand corner
Step 7: Click on tab "Network Settings"
What you click on there depends on what's wrong with your setup, I think. Mine had a "Configure Wireless" option where I was stepped through the process.

Good Luck!
