Printer Won't Connect to Network
My printer (HP 3050), which I have used for several years, will not connect to the Netgear Router R6350. I cannot figure it out, and it is driving me crazy. I have checked for updated drivers, gone through the wizard on the Netgear genie -- nothing. My Netgear product is R6350.
Hi LEdminster,
Welcome to the community!
1. What is the firmware version of the router?
2. Was the printer previously connected to the router?
3. How are you connecting the printer to the router (via USB or wireless)?
4. Are you getting an error message? If yes, what is the error message?
5. Can the printer detect the wireless network during setup?
6. Have you tried uninstalling the drivers and re-installing?

Community Team- Thank you. I eventually had to uninstall the printer and reinstall it with new drivers. That worked!
