• The printer and the computer are not on the same subnet
A subnet is a small network that is part of a larger network. If the computer is on
a different subnet than the printer, the computer and the printer might not be
able to communicate.
Compare the printer IP address listed on the HP Report page with the IP address
for the computer. If the first set of digits in the IP addresses are not identical, then
the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet. For example, if the
computer IP address begins with 169 and the printer IP address begins with 10,
then the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet.
To find the IP address on a Windows computer:
1. Click Start, click Run, and then enter Command.
2. Type ipconfig at the command prompt, and then press Enter.
To find the IP address on a Macintosh OS X computer:
1. Open the Network control panel.
2. Select Airport in the Show drop-down list, and then click TCP/IP.
To find the IP address on a Macintosh OS 9 computer, select
TCP/IP from the
Apple menu.
If the computer and the printer are not on the same subnet, move the printer to
the same subnet as the computer.
