![]() I am desperately confused here! When I bought the printer 2-ish years ago I was able to set it up and have it connected to my network no problem. Since then I have moved and updated my OS to Mountain Lion and lost my installation CD. As of now, this is where things stand. When I turned the printer on and connected it to my iMac via the USB cable, the computer found it and installed it with no issues. I can print with no issues when the USB cable is plugged in. Using the printers built in display, I have run the HP Network Configuration and the Wireless Network Test. The printer can see my network, but it won't connect to it. I have no bloody idea where I need to go to enter my network password so the printer can get online. I've manually downloaded the HP Driver found at and that put the HP Utility on my computer (which was already there) but I don't see any place in the utility software that would let me enter my network password or even configure network settings for the printer. My router is an Apple Airport Extreme, and the firmware is up to date. Everything on my computer seems to be up to date. I just cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this thing online. Any help would be greatly appreciated =). Hp Photosmart C4599 PrinterReset printer Hp Photosmart C4580. Reset printer Hp Photosmart C4580. Skip navigation Sign in.

However, there are alternatives. Here is the easiest way: 1. On the front of the printer: Setup [Scan] > Wireless > Restore Defaults. In the same Wireless menu, start WPS Pushbutton. On your Mac go to Applications > Utilities > Airport Utility. Choose your Airport and click Edit. In the menu bar at the top of your screen go to Base Station > Add WPS Printer. Choose the FIrst Attempt mode, then Continue. Now your printer should be connected to your wireless network. Next, go to System Prefs > Print & Scan, click the '+' sign to add your printer. This procedure doesn't work. I press the WPS 'button' on the printer, and it begins to poll for a WPS connection. I then immediately press the WPS button on top of the router. It begins to flash, indicating that it is also polling. After two minutes, the printer errors out and no wireless connection is created. Not easy AT ALL. I actually have my original CD with the install routine, but the install software crashes when it attempts to connect and configure the printer over USB. So by upgrading my wifi router, I've turned my printer into a paper weight. This printer config software is WAY TOO TOUCHY, CLUMSY, INELEGANT and non-standard to be reliable. I'm guessing this older printer is really not supported under 2017 versions of Mac OS and current wifi routers. Next option is pitching the printer in the dumpster and buying an EPSON product. So, I have a C4599 of the C4500 series Photosmart printer and keep getting this error during the network setup phase of install: The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.0.0 and 169.254.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name. Small problem as I am NOT using the default network name SSID and there are NO nearby networks using even close to the same name. Hp Photosmart C4599 Wireless SetupI have a 192.168 standard home network and short of putting MY home network on the 169.254 address that my HP printer has selected, I have been completely unable to access the embedded web server for the printer and am on my 4th reinstall of the software & printer. I have also reset the default network settings in the printer about a gazillion times. And yes, I'm using DHCP on the router. So I now turn you to awesome HP support forums - I've been able to find only one other slightly similar post and the issue was with a LiveBox router. At&t Wireless Setup GuideI have a standard issue Qwest Motorola 3347 DSL router. The 169.254.x.y is an automatic IP address that the printer uses while it waits for an IP address assignment from your wireless-router.
