Wireless printers often lose their connections to the network. This can be verified by going to the printer and selecting from the printer menus a print out of the network configuration. An alternate test is to use a different computer to print a test page to the wireless printer. When a wireless printer has lost its connection to the network, the simplest and most direct solution may be to reinstall the wireless printer on the network. This again would require an installation CD or a download of the installation software from the manufacturer's website. Wireless printer installation differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. 123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com

Some printers require an active USB connection into the printer to complete wireless network installation. Other printers can be installed without such a USB connection. Wireless installation requires knowing the network key or password. Sometimes the latest Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) security must be used for the printer to connect into the wireless network. The older Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) does not permit some printers to connect to the network properly. Performing these five checks should at the very least identify where the problem lies. You should be able to then zero-in on the root of the problem. 123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com

Driver programs connecting Windows to the printer port may not be functioning properly with Windows. In this case reinstalling the latest printer driver programs can resolve this issue. The driver programs must typically match exactly the version of Windows on the computer. Often separate driver programs are used for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows®. The latest driver programs are found at the printer manufacturer's website. 123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com

If the printer is a network printer, a standard TCP/IP port is checked. A TCP/IP port connection can be broken when the incorrect printer IP address is used. To reconnect the printer to the computer, make sure that the IP address on the computer is the same as the IP address assigned to the printer. When the printer is a wireless printer, verifying the connection becomes more difficult. Similar to any other network connected printer, a wireless printer must have the IP address match the address used by the TCP/IP port on the computer. Sometimes the printer may be identified by name and not by IP address. If the name is correct, a test page should print on the printer. When a test page does not print, the most direct resolution of the problem may be re-installation of the printer. This would require the original printer installation CDs or a download of the installation software from the printer manufacturer's website. 123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.comset123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com123.hp.com
