HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 ethernet connected printer not recognized
Good morning!
I am wondering (and hoping) if someone on the forum, or a moderator, can help me and point me in the right direction on this issue.
I recently purchased an Orbi RBK43 to cover 6...
- Just to confirm the theory of two routers:
- What IP address do you see assigned to the printer when hooked to Orbi (you can see this in the Orbi app)?
- What is the IP address assigned to the computer you’re trying to add the printer to?
If you get the pronter to work when connecting it to the DSL modem then I understand that the DSL modem is also acting as a rounter, right?
Is your Orbi set to AP mode or Router mode? You can only have one router in the network for your setup to work properly.
Thank you for your reply.
I went through FAQs and such, and cannot find any instructions on how to switch to AP mode (Access Point) on my model. As for the modem, I'm not using it as a router (I don't think), just access to Internet. When trying to get the printer, it won't locate it, and asks foreither an IP address or host name, which I enter each one in (separately), and it says it can't find it (something about it can't be on the same as the network?), if that makes any sense.
I'd appreciate a simple fix, if possible.
Thanks again!
