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?

Have you tried the readyshare utility?

I have tried ReadyShare on both computers, one does not show any attached hardware and the other find the printer as active, but whenI try printing it shows the printer off-line. Everything I see says it is on-line except for Ready Share.
I am thinking of adding an ethernet converter to the USB cable and connecting the printer to the Ethernet Port and not use ReadyShare. If that does not work, I will take the Netgear Router/modem back. When I used my Dlink router with a Linksys Modem it all worked fine except for frequent drops which required rebooting, but the printer worked great.
You don't have to set it with a static IP address but whenever the router gives the printer a new IP address, you'd need to reinstall. Setting it with static or reserved IP fixes that.

Here's how you set a reserved address on a netgear. Its fairly simple to do.

Thank you very much for walking me through these steps. I learned a lot and I also now have a working printer.
Again, thank you.
