HP Printer Wireless Set up Issue
Since setting up my 5g home internet device, I am not able to connect my HP Photosmart C4599 wireless printer to it. I reinstalled it on my home computer which connects to the modem with ethernet cab...
Hola iTinkeralot,
So the only thing that changed in my setup is that I now have the 5g home internet wifi device instead of using internet through cable company. So my wireless printer has been working this whole time from when I originally set it up so it is not like any ports would have been blocked or firewall rules would be causing issues since then the wireless printing would have never worked to begin with, correct?
My OS is Windows 10 and I did disable my Windows Defender Firewall security temporarily and tried configuring wireless printing again and get the same error that has to do with MAC address filtering and disabling that on my router. When I have the printer plugged into USB, it is showing as IDLE, and when I unplug it from USB, it shows as OFFLINE. At least I can print when I am connected to USB for now. It may be that the printer is pretty old? I am planning on getting another printer in the near future anyway so hoping that a newer one I won't have this issue.
Any other suggestions on the MAC address filtering and how I can possibly disable that temporarily?
¡Gracias!
