Computer Printer Repair

Problem :

Installed software and followed all instructions selecting printer then wireless network and entering WEP security key. Software screen then tells you it is searching for printer wirelessly and says it cannot be found. Yet when I print the Wireless Network Test Report everything is perfect and it even congratulates me on a successful setupof my wireless printer. Try printing wirelessly and yes you guessed it my printer is offline. Anyone any thoughts?


Solution :

Check the following steps to fix hp wifi printer offline error


1. Insert the HP Photosmart Software CD in the computer CD-ROM drive.
2. Follow the instructions on the screen.

When you are prompted, connect the HP All-in-One to the computer using the USB

setup cable included in the box. The HP All-in-One will attempt to connect to the

network. If the connection fails, follow the prompts to correct the problem, and then

try again.
3. When the setup is finished, you will be prompted to disconnect the USB cable and

test the wireless network connection. Once the HP All-in-One connects successfully

to the network, install the software on each computer that will use the device over the

network.

Problem :

I can't get the printer to connect to the wireless network. The main problem is that the router don't have a WPS button. And i can't find any way to config the printer via the USB.


Solution :

1. Connect to the print own network via wifi.

2. Print out a report, to get the printers ip

3. Enter printer ip in a browser

4. Config the printer via the printer webserver, to make it connect to the right network.

5. Print out a new report, to check that it has connected to the right network.

6. Connect to normal network, and search for the printer and install drivers.

Problem :

I recently bought a new computer with windows 7 (32 bit) Pro. I installed the drivers for my HP laserjet 5000n. The printer works fine, however, I do not see the printer in the in control panel (Devices and Printers). I have 2 other printers that I would like to remove. They can only be seen when I select a printer when printing a document.


Solution :

I'm assuming you are connected to the parallel port. Right click on the computer and see if there is a Printer Properties menu item.

I've seen this when the parallel port is configured in a Legacy mode so the parallel device is just another part of the computer device (reconfigure the parallel system BIOS).

If you have more than one printer defined that uses the same port and same driver Devices and printers conciders this one device and the other queues are configurable in fly out menus off the primary device.

If you have Pro or Ultimate you can use the UI from the spooler team, launch printmanagement.msc to manage local printers.

Problem :

I'm currently seeing the error on the same hardware, it is related to a pending print job on a machine connected to it, as soon as the printer inits, the job is sent to it and the 49.4c02 error pops up.


Solution :

1. Press CANCEL JOB to clear the print job from the printer memory.
2. Turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on.
3. Try printing a job from a different software application. If the job prints, go back to the first application and try printing a different file. (If the message only appears with a certain software application or print job, contact the software vendor for assistance.)
4. If the message persists with different software applications and print jobs, disconnect all cables to the printer that connect it to the network or printer.
5. Turn the printer off.
6. Remove all memory DIMMs or third-party DIMMs from the printer. (Do not remove the firmware DIMM in the lowest DIMM slot.)
7. Remove all EIO devices from the printer.
8. Turn the printer on.
9. If the error no longer exists, install each DIMM and EIO device one at a time, making sure to turn the printer off and back on as you install each device.
10. Replace a DIMM or EIO device if you determine that it causes the error.
11. Remember to reconnect all cables that connect the printer to the network or computer.
12. If the error persists, replace the firmware DIMM.
13. Replace the formatter.

This error is usually caused by a bad formatter board.
