My Photosmart C4780 was working just fine, wirelessly, and now I cannot print unless I connect it to my laptop or desktop via the usb cord.  I am running Mac OSX 10.9 with the Mavricks downloaded on both computers.  I was able to print from my Mac Mini, iPhone, iPad and MacBook Air all without issue but now my Wirless Network Test Report says I fail "Network Name (SSID) Found".  The HP Network Configuration Page says my Netowrk Status is Offline and my Active Connection Type is None but I can see my network listed under Number of 802.11 networks discovered.  I believe I just need to connect or reconnect the printer to the network but I can't find how to do that anywhere on the help site.  Can anyone tell me how to connect my printer to my network now?  When I first installed it onto the network I didn't have OSX 10.9 with Mavricks so the installation CD worked just fine but not it won't work either.  One more thing, when I try using the screen on the printer and go through the WIFI Protected Setup both Push Button and PIN fail.  HELP PLEASE.....

Hi hisfunbox,

 

I'm sorry to hear you are having problems connecting your printer wirelessly.

 

I have included a document with steps on how to change the printer from a USB connection to a wireless connection. It has a subsection for Mac OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion/OS X v10.9 Mavericks. The second option in this section is how to change from the an existing USB connection.

Thanks for the help, the answer lead me down the correct path.  Turns out the problem was that my 2Wire 4111N router had the WPS disabled so I couldn't make the connection.  Once I was able to recognize that as the problem turning it on was easy and everything came together.  Thanks again.
