hp 8020rinter wont connect to tmobile 5g or 2.4g
I cannot get my HP 8020 series all in on printer to connect to my computer or iPad which are all setup with a separate 2.4 and 5 g network. Any ideas it all ways says printer offline. The only thing ...
I finally got my HP 8020 series printer connected to my computers iPad and iPhone. I opened the T-Mobile internet app went to network tapped the + add network and set up a third network with a separate name and password. Set it as 2.4GHZ WPA/wpa2. Wpa tkip&aes saved it and it all works now.
I'm not completely following. I do know that the computer and printer can be on different networks on the gateway, because that's how mine is set up. My old HP printer is on the dedicated 2.4GHz network with WPA/WPA2 security. I can print from my laptop which is set to the default network on the gateway. Perhaps you have Wi-Fi Direct turned on and that is how your iPhone and iPad are able to print.
Maybe something here will help:
