Ok, I have a HP D110, installed wirelessly on a laptop mac OS X, everything works well, besides every time I need to print something, I've to turn the printer off and on to start print, like on a gap of 5 min. between jobs I have to do it, when it suppose to wake up as soon as you send a job to print I guess. I don't wanna have to go where the printer is all the time I need to print some, otherwise I'd use the cable connection, if anyone have solutions or experience the same prob, I'm looking for answers to solve this.

Thank you. 

Alfred!

Hi Alfred,

 

Please check for any available firmware update:

Make sure to install the latest firmware and check for any change.

If the same behavior persist, please let me know what router you are using in order to better understand any possible cause.

 

Regards,

Shlomi

This is often due to the router not sending the signals to wake the printer.  What router are you using?  What version of OS X?

Thanks for the fast response.

 

Ok, I checked and  the printer has the most current  updates installed, now the router I'm using it's a TP-LINK        N router, model # TL-WR741ND, and my OS is Lion.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:

- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. Change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.

Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Will the solution be similar with a HP OfficeJet 4655?  Is this a general thing with the routers or just specific routers.  I have a comcast router (not sure of brand).  Also to get into the configuration of the printer is different.  I could print it out but not sure quite how to change anything since it was already done automatically.

 

Any help would be appreciated.
