Product: C7280
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi, 

 

I have been given a HP C7280 printer from my parents that they no longer need. 

 

I brought it to my house and connected the printer to the network and installed the software/drivers needed. When the software tries to find the printer on the wireless network it cant find anything.  I have entered the IP the printer shows on the screen when i look at the network details - but still no luck. Everything i try draws a blank. 

 

The printer worked perfectly at my parents house and i could print from my android phone, but at my house i am having no such luck. I was wondering if it could be to do with my router? I am a Virgin media customer and use their home hub. 

 

Any ideas?

Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP Photosmart C7280 printer. I understand that you are unable to connect your printer to the computer and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting. 

 

Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,

  • Restart the computer, printer, and router.
  • Manually connect the printer to your network.
  • Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
  • Temporarily disable firewall software on the computer.
  • Uninstall and reinstall the HP driver and software.
