Hi @bhevskie,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

Certainly! If you need to update your IP address, there are a few steps you can take.

 

  • Check your current IP address: You can find your current IP address by going to the network settings on your device (computer, smartphone, etc.). For Windows, you can open the Command Prompt and type ipconfig. For Mac, you can go to System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi (or Ethernet) and look for your IP address there.
  • Renew DHCP Lease: If you are using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to obtain your IP address automatically from your router or network, you can try renewing the DHCP lease. This can often be done by restarting your router or using the network settings on your device.
  • Manually Set IP Address: If you need to manually set your IP address (for example, if your printer requires a specific IP address to function properly), you can do so in the network settings of your device. Be sure to choose an IP address that is within the same subnet as your router, but outside the range of IP addresses that your router typically assigns via DHCP.

 

Once you've updated your IP address, you may need to reconfigure your printer to use the new IP address. This usually involves accessing the printer's settings through a web browser interface or through its control panel and updating the network settings.

 

If you're still having trouble getting your HP printer to work after updating your IP address, you may need to troubleshoot further, such as checking the printer's connection to the network, ensuring the printer drivers are properly installed on your computer, and verifying that there are no other issues with your network configuration.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
