Setting Up HP Wireless Printer WITHOUT Software? The simple fact of the matter is that HP software is a real CPU and memory hog. I don't want to have ANY HP software on my computer, AT ALL, but I have an HP wireless printer (it's Wi-Fi, not Bluetooth), and I want to find a way to set it up WITHOUT using any software. I've already tried doing a search for wireless printers through Vista, and no matter what settings I turn on or off from the printer, Vista can't find it. I don't want recommendations on other printers or brands or how the software isn't as bad as I say it is. Just please answer my question and tell me how I can set up the printer WITHOUT software. Thanks.
My HP wireless printer won't print!!!? All the sudden my HP Photosmart wireless printer will not print from my HP laptop where I've been running Vista.

It still won't show up. When I look through the options on the printer and print a test page it works beautifully. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it!!! I'm going out of my mind. And when I tried tech support they tell me to buy a new support plan. HELP!!!

I have a vista computer hooked up to a HP wireless printer. It won't print?? Help. Please? Hello I have 2 computers hooked up to a wireless printer. Ones a laptop and ones a desktop. I was on the desktop and I already printed 4 pages of internet stuff. But suddenly a windows poped up and said please install a printer in order to print the document. I was like what the heck? Then I went on my other school laptop and it wouldn't print too. It didn't have the (please install a printer window) though. It just wouldn't print. What did pop up is your printer is offline. But the printer was on I just printed out 4 documents on the internet. I tried install the HP cd over but that didn't work. All that it said was printer might not work correctly. Then I unplugged the usb on the printer and I also turned it off and on again. Both of those didn't work. Did I get a virus? Do I need to install some drivers? Or does printers have the opition to turn it offline and online? I always thought that when it's on it online and when it's off it's offline. Please help :) Thank you

I installed an HP wireless printer...hpsetup etc? I installed my HP wireless printer to work with my wireless internet. The problem I'm having is if I want to print, I have to disconnect from my network, and connect to a network called hpsetup, then disconnect from that and go back to my network to resume the internet. My question, is there anyway I can be on both of these at once? or combine them? Although the printer works, its a hassle to disconnect from one network and onto another just to print. Thanks in advance.

Can I hook up a wireless printer via a cable? I am thinking of getting an HP wireless printer. Specifically looking at the HP C4385.

Fundamentals of wireless printers? I am considering buying an HP wireless printer (wifi NOT bluetooth!). I currently have my 4 PCs all wireless connecting to my ADSL modem which is also the wireless router. everything works fine here. So my question is pretty basic at this point. If I get a wireless printer will the PCs be communicating with it DIRECTLY for their print jobs? Or will the print requests still have to go through the wireless router? Also regardless of which path it takes I guess you still have to install the drivers for the PC to talk to the printer as though it were still connected via USB cable, correct? Thanks

What is the best way to print wirelessly from a Dell laptop with built-in wireless card to a HP 8150N printer? The LaserJet printer was bought used. The laptop is stand-alone. No local network at all. Currently accessing internet via DSL modem attached to a LinkSys wireless router. This LaserJet (8150) has a built in network card (JetDirect) with an ethernet port.

HP Printers - Error after Power Loss, how do I restart the print queue? I have a wireless, and bluetooth HP 3310 All in one printer. When the print software is loaded, it takes 15 minutes, then it tries to do it again from the internet. After it is set up, if I loose power on the computer(s) on my network, the printer will not print again. The error I get says that the Print Services/Que needs to be restarted. How do I do this? HP Has no mechanism to ask them, their books do not explain it, and they do not answer emails about this. Please help. Thanks! I forgot to mention, if I remove the printer software and reload the software, I can get it to work again. I am tired of reloading software just to print, so I hardwired it to my desk computer, which defeats the purpose of paying for wireless. Thanks in advance for your help. The computers are all Windows based. HP is no help! Nothing is in the queue. The print Queue will not start.
