getting wireless printing to work

embob74

I'm trying to get my printer to print wirelessly and having no luck.
It's a HP CP1515n. It all installed ok and I managed to print one page but I really need to be able to print wirelessly as my USB ports are a bit dodgy and not likely to work for much longer.

I've scoured the net and used printer wizards all to no avail. Printer shows as offline and when I enable it and it states ready if I try to print anything it then says error in the print queue

How's your IT skills, or do you know any friendly IT people.

I see this quite often, your home router will of orginally assigned an IP address to the printer but over time it has now most probaly assigned a different IP address, which is why your computer can't see it's ready.

What you need to do, is find the orginal IP address the printer was assigned (if you look in the port tab under the printer properties, it will be soemthing like 192.168.1.55)

Then login to your router config and see if it's possible to assign a static IP address to your printer, or you should be able to assign a static IP on the printer.

Print off a settings configuration page first from the printer: (That should give you the Printer namer and IP address required to manually install a network printer)

Also you should have a program that came with the printer to automatically install a networked printer (check your start Menu under "HP" for "first run wizard" or "HP Wizard" something like that.

You install the software and then configure it whilst connected via the USB cable and via the software and connected to the printer you configure the wireless side of things.

You need to login to the printers internal print server setup pages and find its allocated ip address. You then need to check your routers setup and ensure that the printer has been allocated this ip and also preferably,that it is reserved. The difficulty i find with my hp wireless printer is a router issue in that if the printer hasnt been used for a day or two,the router forgets its ip address. I therefore have to power on the printer and cycles power on/off the router for it to catch it again.It then works fine.
