C7000 V2 will not find HP 4630 Printer
Router will not find the HP 4630 printer connected through the USB port. My second computer on-line found the printer but states off-line. Anyone know what Printers are supported or work arouds?

That printer has a wireless-network interface, does it not? Why use
a USB connection to anything with it, especially anything involving
Netgear-supplied software?

Unfortunately my computers are not wireless, they are desktop with LAN connectivity.
but the C7000 is wireless and so is the printer. You could connect it over wireless, set it with a static or reserved IP address, and all your devices should be able to print to it if they're on your network. Both windows and mac can print to a wirelessly connected printer.
I am not that familiar with Static and reserve IP settings. I will read up on that option and give it a try.
