does my HP officejet 6310 have wireless capabilities?

No, but it can connect to a wireless router with an Ethernet cable.  After doing that all computers will be able to use the printer regardless of how they connect to the wireless router.

Hi,  I have lost the owners manual to my HP Officejet 6310 All-In-One.  I have the ethernet cable plugged into the back of my wireless cable modem.   How do i get\see the IP assigned to the printer?

Thanks

Reboot the router by pulling its power plug momentarily.

Now, print a Network Test Report from the Network menu on the front of the printer.  Does it show being connected with a valid IP address (not 0.0.0.0 nor 169.254.x.x)?

This setup lets me print on OSX Lion, which is great. But I cannot scan. Your videos show that there should be a tab at the top of the print config page, but that does not appear for me.

The videos also say I should connect via bonjour but the printer does not list. I have to use the IP settings.

I'm also using a 6310 connected via ethernet to my router.

The update to Lion seems to have killed scanning.

Reset the printing system:

- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

I perform your steps and the printer appears but it shows its "kind" as "HP Fax" not bonjour. Should I add this? This is not what the video says should happen.

Thanks for your help!

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6/10.7 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:

Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish

Restart your Mac

Now reset the printing system:

- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

What if I've already uninstalled with out this option? Now I have no uninstaller app.

Keep the great advice coming 🙂

Feels like we're getting close.
