![]() My printer is working ok with the USB, and it would be a p.i.t.a. I was looking where to change all these parameters, but I could not find. The printer cannot get connected to the network, and thus it cannot be recognized in the setup wizard. I run the test network, and seems like the ISSD number does not coincide. Anyway, all the software was installed already, and apparently this new one is the same model as the other older broken printer, but it simply cannot get connected to the network. Finally, after 2 months and a half I got a new printer from HP/FUST (I bought it in FUST a year ago), I just received it last week. However, my printer got broken last October, still under guarantee. In fact, I already have my printer working fine under wireless since almost a year. It seems to me like the install program cannot "see" the printer via USB to setup the wireless networking settings - even though I can print just fine via USB from any application on my computer. Step 8 says, "Select the printer you are installing - "HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m" is listed in the box, so I click it and then click Next So at step 7 I HAVE TO check the box saying "my printer is already connected to this computer by a USB cable" - which it is, as I have been printing via USB for some time. If I try to just disconnect the USB and then reinsert nothing happens. it is greyed out) and I can go no further. ![]() If I do not "check the box" the NEXT button cannot be clicked (e.g. My assumption is that the install program wants to "communicate" via USB to the printer so it can send the appropriate settings for the wireless network (e.g. You will be prompted to disconnect this cable after the wireless network setup is complete." This will enable the settings of your wireless network to be communicated to the printer. Step 6 says "Temporarily connect your printer to this computer using a USB cable. Help me to setup the wireless network connection for my printer." Step 5 asks "Is your printer already connected to your wireless network?" - my response is "No (not sure), my printer is not yet wirelessly connected to my network. Step 7 is NOT asking if the printer is connected to the network. There is no firewall active (even shut down all other active programs and the virus scanner). I have unplugged the printer prior to install but no luck. I have tried to uninstall the software and reinstalled it again - the USB works fine but same result above. If I try to "Reconfigure Network Device" instead of "Add a Device" it takes me right to Step #6 and the same result. I have tried to disconnecting the USB cord and reinserting it at step #6 but nothing happens (the computer beeps like I have removed a device but the screens do not change). If I click Cancel it takes me back to step #6 only to lead me down the same path to step #9. Please connect the printer and press Retry or press Cancel to try another." This is where I get stuck! An error box appears saying "Selected printer is not present. It says, Select the printer you are installing - "HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m" is listed in the box, so I click it and then click Nextĩ. I click the box indicating my printer is already connected (remember my printer has been working just fine with my desktop via USB), then click NextĨ. It then asks me to "Temporarily connect my printer to the computer using a USB cable"ħ. It asks if my printer is already connected to my wireless network - I click "No (not sure)." and click NextĦ. ![]() It begins "Checking Network Configuration."ĥ. I choose the "Wireless network connection (802.11)" option and click NextĤ. I click the "Do not display the Setup Guide, printer has already been setup" box and click Nextģ. I insert the install CD that came with the printer and click the "Add a Device" buttonĢ. Here are the steps I have followed to "add the device" wirelessly and the problem I encounter.ġ. However now I'd like to be able to use the printer wirelessly so I can use the printer directly from a laptop. I have a HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m (70.91.312.0) that is installed on a XP desktop via USB and works great. Hope this is not a repeat question, but I've searched and searched this board for this issue to no avail.
