Nighthawk AX5 RAX29 Wifi Printer always busy
Since install of the router every device I try and print from comes up with Printer busy message. It's driving me insane. The printer worked flawlessly on my previous wifi router. I do not know where to turn to next. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
Received my HP printer with Ethernet port….happy to report that my printing issues are all resolved. Connected it to a Ethernet port on the router. Took me less than 5 min after opening the box. Time to throw my Brother Wi-Fi only printer into the garbage heap.

Does the printer appear on the list of Attached Devices (see page 99 of the user manual)

Perhaps the printer has a different IP address on the new WiFi network and devices need to go through the setup process again to "find" the printer.
The printer shows up on all my other devices. I’ve gone through the setups multiple times. NETGEAR tech support was clueless. It was a Saturday though.
My printer has a web interface that can be accessed using the printer IP address. Does the Brother printer have this feature?
(Alas, I'm a "Windows person" and have no experience solving printer issues on Apple devices. Perhaps the printer support people would be a better resource?)
