Travel tips The following tips will help you prepare for traveling with your printer:

If you are bringing an extra black or photo print cartridge, follow these guidelines: For a partially used black print cartridge, or a partially used or full photo print cartridge, store it in the travel holder to prevent ink leakage. A newly opened black print cartridge will leak slightly at high altitudes (such as in airplanes). To avoid this, wait to install new black cartridges until you reach your destination. Until then, keep them in their original, taped packaging.

Turn off the printer using the power button. This ensures that the print cartridges return to the home position at the left side of the printer and lock in place.

If you need to buy print cartridges while traveling to another country/region, see the online help called “Traveling with your HP mobile printer”, available through the Toolbox or HP Printer Utility, for regional cartridge compatibility information.

Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the printer. Do not use any other voltage transformer or converter. The power adapter can be used with AC power sources of 100 to 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz.

Remove the battery if you will not be using the printer for more than a month.

When traveling with photo paper, pack it flat so it doesn’t warp or curl. Photo paper should be flat before printing. If the corners of the photo paper curl more than 10mm (3/8 inch), flatten the paper by putting it in the resealable storage bag, then rolling the bag on a table edge until the paper is flat. Printer buttons and lights The printer lights indicate printer status and are useful for diagnosing printing problems. This chapter provides a list of light status light combinations, what they indicate and how to solve the problem.

Solving installation problems This section provides troubleshooting suggestions for some of the most common problems associated with hardware and software installation. Problems printing Check the printer to ensure the following

Power light is on and not blinking. When the printer is first turned on, it takes about a minute to initialize.

No lights on the control panel are lit or blinking and that the printer is in the Ready state. If lights are lit or blinking, see page 21.

Ensure power cord and other cables are working and firmly connected to the printer.

All packing tape and shipping materials are removed from the printer.

Print cartridges are properly installed in their correct carriage compartments. Press down firmly on each one to ensure proper contact.

Ensure you have removed the tape from each print cartridge.

Ensure that the cartridges are not damaged.

Print cartridge latches and covers are closed.

Media is loaded correctly in the input tray and is not jammed in the printer.

Problems installing software Check the computer requirements

Make sure the computer meets the system requirements. See the onscreen user’s guide on the Starter CD. Check the installation preliminaries

Before installing software on a Windows computer, ensure all other programs are closed.

If the computer does not recognize the path to the CD drive that you type, ensure you are specifying the correct drive letter.

If the computer cannot recognize the Starter CD in the CD drive, inspect the CD for damage. You can download the printer driver from http://www.hp.com/support/dj460.

In the Windows device manager, make sure that the USB drivers have not been disabled. Reinstall the printer software

If you are using Windows and the computer cannot detect the printer, run the Scrubber utility (located in the Utils\Scrubber folder on the Starter CD) to perform a clean driver uninstallation. Restart your computer, and reinstall the printer driver. See “To uninstall the printer software” in the onscreen user’s guide on the Starter CD. Problems setting up 802.11 or Bluetooth wireless communication If you have problems printing from an 802.11 or Bluetooth wireless connection, try the following suggestions: Check the wireless printer card

Make sure the wireless printer card is inserted properly.

Make sure you inserted the wireless printer card before or after, and not during, printer initialization.

If the light on the wireless printer card is not on, do the following:

Remove the wireless printer card.

Turn off the printer, wait a few seconds, and then turn it back on again.

Reinsert the card when the printer is in the Ready state. If there is no response, repeat this procedure a few times. If there is still no response, contact HP. To see if the wireless printer card is working, try printing using another wireless device. If you still cannot print, the wireless printer card might be faulty. Replace the card if necessary. Check the wireless settings

Make sure the wireless profile switch on the back of the printer is switched to the correct wireless profile you are using. Make sure you are using a profile that was configured during installation.

If you cannot communicate with the printer after completing the software installation and removing the USB cable, then one or more of the following wireless settings might be incorrect:

Channel (ad hoc networks only)

Security settings (such as Authentication Type and Encryption)

To configure Bluetooth settings or monitor printer status (such as ink levels) using the Toolbox (Windows), you must connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable. Check the wireless signal Wireless communication can be interrupted or unavailable if there is signal interference, distance or signal strength problems, or if the printer is not ready for some reason.

Make sure the printer is within range of the 802.11 or Bluetooth sending device. 802.11 printing allows wireless printing up to 100 meters (300 feet). Bluetooth printing allows wireless printing up to 10 meters (30 feet).

If a document doesn’t print, there could be signal interruption. If a message appears on the computer explaining that there is a signal problem, cancel the print job and then resend it from the computer. General wireless troubleshooting tips Delete and re-add the printer in the Print Center (Mac OS).

PING the printer: If turning off the printer and turning it back on again does not solve the problem (or, deleting and re-adding the printer in the Print Center doesn’t work on the Mac OS), do the following:

PING the printer using MS-DOS (Windows) or Terminal (Mac OS) to verify network communication. (Cancel button) down for two seconds.

Manually assign the IP address for the printer in the Ports tab of the printer properties.

Boxes might appear when trying to print Asian fonts from a mobile phone on printers purchased outside Asia. Asian fonts for Bluetooth mobile phone printing are only supported by models purchased in Asia.

Printing larger files using a Bluetooth wireless connection can result in printing issues. Try printing a smaller file.

Wireless communication drains power from the printer battery. Check the battery charge level. English

See the onscreen user’s guide on the Starter CD for more wireless network troubleshooting and configuration information. About 802.11 wireless printing This section provides a quick overview of factory default 802.11 wireless communication with the printer. See the onscreen user’s guide on the Starter CD to:

Set up the printer on an infrastructure network.

Set up multiple printers at one time using the 802.11 Wireless Profile Configuration Utility.

Solve problems with 802.11 connections that do not use the factory default configuration.

Set up the printer with an 802.11 connection without using a USB cable.

802.11 wireless printing using factory defaults

The setup instructions describe setting up a single printer for wireless communication using an ad-hoc network and factory defaults. The factory default Wireless Network settings are:

Communication mode: ad hoc

Security (encryption): disabled Once the printer is connected to the computer, either wirelessly or through the USB cable, you can change the SSID by configuring wireless profiles using the HP Toolbox (Windows) or HP Deskjet 460 Network Setup Tool (Mac OS).

Communication mode On an “ad hoc” network, the network communication mode is set to ad hoc, and the printer communicates directly with other wireless devices without the use of a wireless access point (WAP). Network name (SSID) By default, the printer looks for an ad hoc network with the network name, or Service Set Identifier (SSID), “hpsetup.” Wireless security settings The printer’s factory default setting is open network and security (encryption) disabled. The printer will attempt to detect and automatically associate to open wireless network named “hpsetup”. The network does not require security for authentication or encryption. All devices on the ad hoc network must:

Have ad hoc as the communication mode

Have the same network name (SSID)

Be on the same subnet

Be on the same channel

Have the same 802.11 security settings Wireless profile switch The printer includes an 802.11 wireless profile switch so you can store settings for up to three 802.11 computers or networks. This allows you to easily move the printer from home to office or between any three wireless network environments. The “current” profile is the one associated with the current position (1, 2, or
