Fun and easy wireless photo printing

HP iPrint Photo is a free downloadable software application that allows you to quickly and easily print

4 x 6 inch photos. Images stored on your iPhone or iPod Touch can print on most HP networked ink jet printers connected to a local WiFi network. Wireless printing is a fun extension of the iPhone/iPod Touch’s easy photo capture and viewing experience.

Connect to additional computers on a network

You can connect the HP Photosmart to more than one computer on a small network of computers. If the HP Photosmart is already connected to a computer on a network, for each additional computer you must install the HP Photosmart Software. During software installation, the software will automatically discover the HP Photosmart on the network. Once you have set up the HP Photosmart on the network you will not need to conﬁgure it again when you add additional computers.

Note: You can connect the HP Photosmart to either a wireless or wired network, but not both at the same time.

Troubleshooting

Setup Troubleshooting

If the HP Photosmart does not turn on:

1. Check the power cord.

• Make sure the power cord is ﬁrmly connected to both the product and the power adapter.

• If you are using a power strip, make sure the power strip is turned on. Or, try plugging the product

directly into a power outlet.

• Test the power outlet to make sure it is working. Plug in an appliance that you know works, and see if the appliance has power. If not, then there might be a problem with the power outlet.

• If you plugged the product into a switched outlet, make sure the outlet is switched on. If it is switched on but still does not work, then there might be a problem with the power outlet.

2. Unplug the power cord from the back of the product. Plug the power cord back in, and then press the On button to turn on the product.

3. The product might not respond if you press the On button too quickly. Press the On button once. It might take a few minutes for the product to turn on. If you press the On button again during this time, you might turn the product off.

4. If you have completed all of the steps provided in the previous solutions and are still having a problem, contact HP support for service. Go to: www.hp.com/support.

Troubleshooting

Network Troubleshooting

Use this section to solve problems you might encounter when setting up a network connection.

The product cannot be found during software installation

English

If the HP software is unable to ﬁnd your product on the network during software installation, try the following troubleshooting steps. Steps 1 and 2 are for wireless connections only and Steps 3 and 4 are applicable for both wireless connections and Ethernet connections. If you have a wireless connection, start with Step 1 and proceed through step 4 as necessary. If you have an Ethernet connection, start at Step 3.

Wireless connections Step 1: Determine if the product is connected to the network by running the Wireless Network Test and

following any instructions provided.

To run the Wireless Network Test

1. On the Home screen, touch the right arrow to view more options.

2. Touch Setup.

3. Touch Network.

4. Touch Wireless Network Test.

Step 2: If you determine in step 1 that your product is not connected to the network and you have already run the Wireless Setup Wizard from the product display or the HP Photosmart is connected to the network but cannot be found by the HP software, you will need to follow the onscreen instructions during software installation to help connect the product to the network and diagnose any possible problems with your network setup.

To connect the product to a network

1. Insert the product Software CD in the computer CD-ROM drive.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen. When you are prompted, connect the product to the computer using the USB setup cable included in the box. The product 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 product connects successfully to the network, install the software on each computer that will use the product over the network.

Here is how to resolve some common issues that can keep the product from joining your network:

• You may have picked the wrong network or typed in your network name (SSID) incorrectly. Check these settings to ensure they are correct.

• You may have typed in your WEP key or your WPA encryption key incorrectly (if you are using encryption). Note: If the network name or the WEP/WPA keys are not found automatically during installation, and if you don’t know them, you can download an application from www.hp.com/go/networksetup that may help you locate them. This application works for only Windows Internet Explorer and is only available in English.

• You may have a router problem. Try restarting both the product and the router by turning the power for each of them off, and then on again.

Troubleshooting

Ethernet and wireless connections Step 3: Check for and resolve the following possible conditions:

• Your computer may not be connected to your network. Make sure that the computer is connected to the

same network to which the HP Photosmart is connected. If you are connected wirelessly, for example, it is possible that your computer is connected to a neighbor’s network by mistake.

• Your computer may be connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Temporarily disable the VPN before

proceeding with the installation. Being connected to a VPN is like being on a different network; you will need to disconnect the VPN to access the product over the home network.

• Security software may be blocking communication. Security software (ﬁrewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware)

installed on your computer may be blocking communication between the product and the computer. An HP diagnostic runs automatically during installation and can provide messaging about what may be blocked by the ﬁrewall. Try temporarily disconnecting your ﬁrewall, anti-virus, or anti-spyware applications to see if you can successfully ﬁnish the installation. You can re-enable your ﬁrewall application after installation is complete. Make sure the following ﬁles are included in the exceptions list of the ﬁrewall:

• C:\Program Files\Hp\Digital maging\bin\hpqtra08.exe

• C:\Program Files\Hp\Digital Imaging\bin\hpiscnapp.exe

• C:\Program Files\Hp\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqdstcp.exe

• C:\Program Files\Hp\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqkygrp.exe

• C:\Program Files\Hp\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqste08.exe

• C:\Windows\System32\hpzinw12.exe

• C:\Windows\System32\hpzipm12.exe

Tip: Conﬁgure your ﬁrewall software to allow communication over UDP port 427 (Windows) or Bonjour (Mac).

English

Step 4: Use the advanced search feature.

1. Print a network conﬁguration report using the following instructions: a. On the Home screen, touch the right arrow to view more options.

b. Touch Setup. c. Touch Network. d. Touch View Network Settings. e. Touch Print Network Conﬁguration Page.

2. Identify the IP address of the HP Photosmart from the network conﬁguration report.

3. Use the advanced search option available during software installation, then click on Search by IP address

and enter the product’s IP address.

Other network problems after software installation

If the HP Photosmart has been successfully installed, and you are experiencing problems such as not being able to print, try the following:

• Turn off the router, product, and computer, and then turn them back on in this order: router ﬁrst, then the

product, and ﬁnally the computer. Sometimes, cycling the power will recover a network communication issue.

• If the previous step does not solve the problem and you have successfully installed the HP Photosmart

Software on your computer, run the Network Diagnostic tool.

To run the Network Diagnostic tool (Windows) > In the Solution Center, click Settings, click Other Settings, and then click Network Toolbox. On the Utilities tab, click Run Network Diagnostics.
