Has anyone had luck making this print wirelessly?

Sure, it was straight forward on Windows 7 based notebooks. Go to add a printer, scan for network printer, it shows up, select it, the drivers are auto installed, set as default, print a test page and your done. About 30 seconds from start to finish.

I dint remember it being difficult. Ours has run wirelessly for two years without fail.

Not sure if the printer has the straight wireless printing from a device. I set up the ones I bought with a static IP address and any computer prints to it going through the wireless router. Hope this helps. James

Donna, I had many problems making it work with anything wireless. I'd go through long, involved resetting the device with HP support and it would work for a day or so then stop. Repeat the process for another days use. I finally gave up and just use it as a USB printer. When the expensive ink cartridges run out, I'm throwing it in the recycling. Without a doubt that will be its finest moment.

Sorry should have clarified - I'm just trying to use a direct, simple wired connection using a USB interface cable directly from my laptop to the printer. It doesn't seem to come online. Have you tried just doing a wired print on a cable that is greater than 6 feet?

Hi, There is software you install included with the printer (also downloadable on the manufacturer's site). The installer will guide you through setting up the wireless interface so that you can print over your wireless network. I'm not entirely sure that this answers your question, but I hope it helps!

I have a wireless router on my network and I can print over wi-fi from my Apple devices. I think that's only because the printer is connected by Ethernet to the router. The printer itself doesn't have a wi-fi receiver.

I like this printer quite a bit (plugged in) but I have not been able to figure out how to get it to tal to my ipad via Air Print.In all fairness - it could be that I am doing something wrong but I will say that instructions are useless for wireless printing. Also - there seems to be a glitch with Windows 8 and wirelss printinging as well.

This printer is not a wireless printer. You have to connect it directly to a router (with Ethernet cable) and the router can send out the wireless signal.

No, you need to have a wireless router for the printer to work via wireless.

I can print with a usb from my mac. Wireless still doesn't work after spending hours with customer care.

Yes there is. Don't bother buying the expensive HP wireless print G print servers. I went thru a few of them as they would fail after about a year. I made that mistake a couple times before I wised up. Now I'm using the TP-LINK TL-WPS510U and have had no issues whatsoever with it. Setup was straight-forward. If you are still using this printer, then I'd recommend the TP-LINK wireless print server.

Can someone tell me if the 8500 wireless has to be physically connected to a wireless router in order to receive wireless print projects?

Short answer: No. You cant. sorry. Long answer: I don't believe you will be able to get this working. You could try to print wireless via Airport Extreme USB (remember it wasnt successful - my info is atleast 2 years old). Maybe there is a newer version..

I had the same problem because it was set to best photo printing, I couldn't change the settings but i found that restoring default settings fixed the problem. I chose not to change wifi setting since I didn't want to undo wireless printing.

No, this is not a wireless printer. You can purchase 3rd party wireless adapter and make it so, but by default it must be physically connected to a computer or router.

I have mine connected to our network and print to it from everywhere. I think it just depends on your network.

I'm pretty sure it did, it's been a while. But want to warn you it has constant issues with syncing up via wireless. Every time I want to print something wireless I have to shut it off and turn it back on, reboot it essentially. I would seek out a newer model if I were you. It's quite annoying. Hope that helped!
