If you are unable to connect the printer to your Ethernet network, verify that:
●
Make sure the Wireless light on the printer does not turn on.
●
Make sure the Ethernet light is on where the Ethernet cable is plugged into the printer.
●
All cable connections to the computer and the printer are secure.
●
The network is operational and the network hub, switch, or router is turned on.
●
For computer running Windows, all applications, including virus protection programs, spyware
protection programs, and firewalls, are closed or disabled.
●
The printer is installed on the same subnet as the computers that use the printer.
●
If the installation program cannot discover the printer, print the network configuration page, and
enter the IP address manually in the installation program. For more information, see Understand
the network configuration page on page 151.
●
Reinstall the HP software. For more information, see Uninstall and reinstall the HP software
on page 156.
Assigning the printer with a static IP address might resolve some installation problems, such as a
conflict with a personal firewall. (Not recommended)
