Activating AirPrint on LaserJet 100 MFP M175nw

[rjknyc]

I moved a previously working LJ 100 MFP M175nw from one location to another. AirPrint and everything else were working at the old location.

I have installed the printer at the new location. When the printer is connected via a USB cable to an Airport Extreme router, I can print wirelessly. But AirPrint was not working.

I tried the HP Easy Setup and installed the software. It says the software installation was successful, but when I try to print from my iPhone using AirPrint, it says no printer is found.

When I was using Easy Setup, I tried to connect to the wireless network wirelessly and that didn't work, so I chose the option to proceed with the USB cable.

Now I am trying to print from my laptop, with the printer connected via USB to the AirPort Extreme router. The printer is listed in the printers in system settings, but I cannot print at all. It says the printer is offline.

How can I set up AirPrint on this printer and get it to work again? Again, everything was working fine at the previous location. This is a new location with a new wireless network. Thank you.

Hi,

You  must connect the printer with an Ethenet cable or wirelessly to use AirPrint, AirPrint do not work with a USB connection..

From the printer screen select Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults, then try reconfiguring a wireless connection again using HP Easy Start.

If that fails again ry connecting it by temporary connecting the USB to your Mac, then follow  "Connect a printer that does not have a touchscreen control panel > Step 3: Connect the printer with a temporary USB connection > Temporary USB connection in macOS".
