Printing to HP 5510
Hi,
I have the rbr20 router and two satellite rbs20 devices - mesh system. I am unable to print to my wireless HP5510 printer.
From my laptop/PCI can see the printer but nothing prints. When I run a test print on the printer for diagnostics it reports three ORBI devices so is almost like it is seeing three networks with same name.
I could try disabling the two satellite devices to check my hypothesis but thought I would ask if this is a common error.
Needless to say, printing worked fine on my old single router. Reason for installing the mesh system was to improve the wi-fi signal throughout the house.

First make sure your PC is connected to the Orbi system. Try wired connections first.
2nd, make sure the printer driver is pointed to the printers IP address and is configured correctly. You might remove the driver on the effected PC and re-install.
Refer to the printers Mfr support site help and information on how to setup and install the printer driver on the PC.If other devices are working to print to the printer, then the issue is with this PC and it's configuration for the printer.
