Hello Support,
I have been having trouble accessing the ap server from my HP Photosmart 6515 printer
for several (I think five days now). I have done the unplug printer and modem solution multiple
times overnight.
All other functions with my modem, computer, and smartphone are working. The printer
is working on wireless too. Simply no access to the server and continue getting the error
message on the pinter:
Server Connection Error: -1
Thank you for your response,
Steve

Hi Severall,
Have you tried the steps below? If not try those steps. Let me know how it goes.
1. Obtain your printer's IP address
a. This can be done by pressing the wireless icon on printer.
2. Enter the printer's IP address in a browser.
3. Select the network tab at the top of the page.
4. On the left select networking.
5. Select Network Address (IP)
6. Select Manual DNS Server
a. Manual Preferred DNS should read 8.8.8.8
b. Alternate DNS Server should read. 8.8.4.4
7. Select apply you might get a warning just select okay.

I tried changing the DNS to manual and changing to 8.8.8.8. 8.8.4.4. Still wont connect to the apps when i try to enter them from my printer. Keep kicking up the server connection error. but this is on a B210 all in one and not on a photosmart 551. Any elp would be appreciated
