| 1282856 | 2012-06-19 23:23:00 | its MAC address doesnt show in the router, the IP is begins with 169 and it says according to the WLAN report the SSID is SETUP when it should be something else |

| 1282857 | 2012-06-19 23:52:00 | progress: the printer MAC address and the new IP i assigned show up in the router DHCP table but the connection failed message comes up when i go back into the printer settings, the IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway have all reverted to 000.000.000.000 :help::help::help::help::help: |

| 1282858 | 2012-06-20 01:23:00 | Try turning off DHCP on the printer and give it a static ip address. Also is the firmware for the NIC in the printer up to date? |

| 1282860 | 2012-06-20 02:31:00 | set the IP as static( other options included DHCP) then went to search for the SSID, found it, put in pasword, but still connection failed |

| 1282862 | 2012-06-20 04:02:00 | Had recent problem with a home network printer recently. My wireless connection to the printer would work for one computer and allow printing, whilst with the other continued to fail indicating that the printer was not found.even thoughit worked with the other. Don't know if this had anything to do with it but one puter was running XP the other W7. After trying everything like you I decided to uninstall the printer software on the problem machine and then downloaded the most recently available installation files and reinstalled the printer . The net result was that when reinstalled, the printer was found and is now working 10 days later without any further hitches. Go figure! | smurf (6545) | ||

| 1282864 | 2012-06-20 04:58:00 | Using the setup CD didn't work for me but when i went to the HP website and download a full installation file from there all worked. Just a thought:) | smurf (6545) | ||
