I am trying to connect to printer via powerline system in place of ethernet directly to router. Can't seem to make this work. Just in an endless lop. Is this possible or should I try something else?

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

I read your post about problems with your powerline setup and wanted to help.

 

I havn't used powerline networking myself, but here's a link with some tips -- and according to this, you can't connect a printer to it:  http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/8-things-powerline-adapters-need-know-first/

Good Luck
