HP Officejet J4680 Wireless Setup for MS Windows by using the Device Control Panel

[TheOriginalChill]

Was clear until 2:22 then you started pressing different buttons to what you were saying and my printer started printing out colour blocks using up all my ink :(

[HPTechUS]

@TheOriginalChill Are you using a J4680? Because that is what the video is for.

[TheOriginalChill]

@HPTechUS Yes. Don't worry i done it in the end thanks, after muting the sound and seeing what the were pressing. When i did try to print the network details (doing the same as what you done) the printed said printing.. took in the paper like it was going to print and out came a blank page (yes i have got ink) anyway i didn't have to print anything, my computer found the printer and i could scan the pic i was trying to scan, maybe because i'm on a mac it just worked.

how to disable MAC address filtering on wireless router

[TheLouisTsu]

@HPTechUS I have set up my printer and it is found on my network. I can print and make copies but I am not able to scan. I have checked my network settings and the computer and printer are on the same network. In one comment you told someone to look at 4:19 of the video. There is nothing at that point that helps.

I've connected this printer and it prints wirelessly, but it will not scan that way. The printer is installed twice; once when the USB cable is plugged in and there is a copy of the printer that is used when a cable is not used. How do I get it to scan wirelessly?

@HPTechUS what's the IP adress

[HPTechUS]

@afre13 I'm trying to reply in the video, but YT is freaking out. Anyway, so what IP does your Printer have? And what IP does your Computer have? It sounds like the software is not finding your printer on the network, and so it is failing.

[MrBurdzy]

When I put in my disk, i do not get the option "Install Network/Wireless Device". What do I do?

[strandedvandal]

I would go out to hp dot com and download the latest software and run the installation there. If that fails, you might have to call or ask for help at the forums on hp dot com.

[dobsonrodeo]

When i put in the wep code into the printer and push ok, it searches and then the error sign flashes and the screen says error cannot connect. I've tried everything and the network code is correct and so is the network name. This is so frustrating especially since i have tried everything. Do you have any idea what i can do to fix this problem? please comment back

[TheLuisnieto]

hey i have a that same printer that is not compatible to windows 7 ... its only compatible to windows xp and vista...is there a way i can put it on windows 7

[chachafance]

Thanks for this! I just ordered one from Staples so i wanted to see how easy it was to connect wirelessly. Very helpful.

[CyclopsRobot]

Is there anyway to set up wireless print and scan without using HP's software?

[recon294]

dear anyone do i have to have the disk to print things please write back

[HPTechUS]

@recon294 You'll need to install the driver software. You can get that from hp dot com and search for drivers and downloads for the J4680. Once you've installed the software, you do not need to have the disk installed to print.

[HPTechUS]

On the HP home page search for c01585107, it is the "How the Scan" doc for XP. this doc will show how to scan for other OS's on the "related docs" links on bottom. Without knowing which OS or SW version I think this would be the best choice.

[lcruiser2]

can this scan documents as pdf? if it does can that be set as the default? does the software that comes with it do that on the desktop too? like scan using the computer besides doing it on the printer itself with the software cd. im planning to scan but don't want to send it via email as jpeg cause of size.

Thank you! Thank you!

[grapestreet1890]

thank you so much this video along with the other one helped alot,

[renacademy]

Thank you for this awesome video!! Just had a problem making it come up wireless on the HP Mini 1000 112ONR. Do you have any advice?

[debbieSnacks93]

does the wireless connection connect to your computer?

[HPTechUS]

Good question. The answer is, it depends. You can have a network where the computer is wirelessly connected to a router as is the Printer, or you can have a network where the Computer is wired to the router, and the printer is connected wirelessly. As long as the computer can see the network, it really doesn't matter to the Printer.

[shonusush]

This was real help and the printer is working great too. It is easier to fix it with the video than that blogs.. THANKS!!!

[HPTechUS]

Groovy, that's what I was hoping for.

[Roxioxx]

YAY! Finally, a means to quick solutions!! No more waiting by phone!!

[HPTechUS]

Glad I could help.

[letdreamsbedreams21]

cool video man! thanks for making us watch as you painstakingly typed in your wep, haha.

[HPTechUS]

LOL, Trying to be detailed you know! Glad you like it.

[ajcv7]

hi i have a little problem.... When i'm setting up my network on the printer, it says to insert my WPA passphrase but in reality my router has WEP type encryption...how can i solve this? i've tried everything!!

[HPTechUS]

I am so sorry I missed this ajcv7. It depends on the printer.  Probably your best bet for a quick answer is to go to the HP forums on the HP website.
