I wonder if you can help me. I've got an HP Officejet 6500 Wireless. The other day, I tried to print something (wirelessly) from a laptop using Windows 7. It said the printer was offline. When I pulled down the menu, it only gave an option for using the printer offline - I could only check or uncheck the option.
Upon doing some looking, I think I might have found a clue. I have set the printer to a static IP addresss ending in .1.3. However, when I pulled up the device manager, under the printer properties it gave the location as .1.2.
Okay, here's the problem. How do I get into this IP location given to change the darn thing? I think if I simply changed the location to the .1.3 IP address, it would work. The desktop seems to work fine (last time I tried to print something from it).
And by the way, it did work the last time I tried to print from the laptop. I have no idea what happened.
Do you think you can provide some answers?
I'd appreciate it greatly. Thanks.
