Hello Suepls

 

Since you are trying to setup the printer on wifi you would choose the IP Port where you must enter your printer's IP address.

 

However:

You may be more interested in the the following link. There is a full HP software for your printer on Windows 7. The link after will have instructions for setting up the printer.

HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers

Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network

 

Please let me know if you continue to have issues.

THANKS !!!!    It's working now,  the only thing I noticed was I can not check my ink levels. Is that because I'm using a different driver ?

Hi cb11,

 

Did you install the full feature software and driver from Travis_C link above?

 

If you have the full feature software driver installed you can view the ink levels from Solution Center.

Re: Installing an HP Photosmart 7660

Travis,

 

I've been to that link many times.  I have installed and reinstalled that software over and over and over.  It's like the chicken and the egg.  My computer won't let me install the driver untill I see the printer on the network but my computer tells me that I can't see the printer without the driver.

 

At one point had it working then I brought my laptop to my in-laws house and tried logging in on their network but could only connect locally.  When I got home I could no longer see the printer on the network.  It's been very frustrating.  The other computers in the house can still print wirelessly.  This is a reccuring problem.  I even had the operating system reinstalled a whaile ago and this problem keeps cropping up.

 

Coiuld this have something to do with my 64 bit system?  I'll keep trying...

Re: Installing an HP Photosmart 7660

Hi Suepls,

 

What is the IP address assigned to the printer?

 

What is the operating system on your computer?

 

When you type the IP address of the printer into an Internet Explorer address bar do you get information about the printer on the EWS - Embedded Web Server?

 

Run the following utility below.
