OK, from another user on these forums (using the extreme power of forums): In the router settings disable the ICMP Protection so the Bonjour Service works.

OK, what is the problem?  What operating system on your computer?

I have an HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and my OS is a Windows XP Professional. I am currently trying to install the wireless function on my printer (please keep in mind that this is for the company that I employed by, and being performed in the office that I work in - I simply work here, and have not made any of the decisions as far as choosing/setting up the OS, computer brand, this printer, or any internet providers/connections/setup/etc.).

I have read through several posts on the discussion boards regarding this matter and have gone about just about every recommended step except calling an HP Support professional via telephone.  Currently I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, have successfully setup every other aspect of this printer, but when I come to the wireless, I end up here:

Setup -> Network Setup -> (and these are my ONLY options from here) Reset Network -> (or) Advanced Setup

Choosing "Reset Network" gave me the options of "No" or "Yes", and pressing "OK" to either got me no where. Literally, pressing ok to both would just bring me to the other. So I just went on to "Advanced Setup".

With Advanced Setup i'm getting options "Set Link Speed", and "IP Settings". "Set Link Speed" is set to Automatic because I have no idea what that means. Then there's "IP Settings" which when chosed gives me the warning: "IP Warning: Changing the IP Address will remove the device from the network. Press OK.". So I press OK. Then I get "Automatic" or "Manual". Then it goes like this:

Automatic -> IP Settings -> (or) Set Link Speed. So we already know what that leads to.

Then theres's "Manual".

 Manual -> IP Address -> (or) Subnet Mask -> (or) Default Gateway. And all three give me the options of entering the numbers in the form of 000.000.000.000, and changing any of the numbers to fit the correct IP Address and Subnet Mask.

My IP Address is 10.0.0.3, and my Subnet Mask if 255.255.255.0. How I am supposed to enter these numbers when my only option is adding them into the format of "000.000.000.000" is a mystery to me, but regardless this is what I am given. When I try to enter these numbers into the printer, with or without pressing OK when I am done, NOTHING happens. Nothing. I have the options of going back to where I started and that's it.

Keep in mind that I have tried all of the above with the USB cable plugged in/unplugged, the ethernet cable plugged in/unplugged, both plugged in at the same time, and both unplugged at the same time. I have experienced the same thing in any combination of those. Also my HP Solution Center is up to date on updates, and so is my printer.

Please help. I've had this printer for a year now, I have tried and failed at setting this up about 50 times.

It sounds like you do not have a wireless version of this printer.

See the attached....

[TaraMcKinley]

Fair enough. Thank you for your help.

 Just out of curiousity though, my printer is connected directly to my router via ethernet cable. Shouldn't I be able to see/use it from other computers that are wirelessly hooked up to the same network?

[PrintDoc]

Yup, that configuration should work just fine.  If it does not, perhaps you router has some wired/wireless bocking enabled. This is often called Isolation or AP Isolation.  Look for it in the router settings and disable it.

I am having trouble installing my wireless HP printer

In the set up process, I try to enter numbers for my password and I only get letters.  How can I enter numbers?

I don't see a shift key or anything else.
