@Endofile,

Good day. Thank you for stopping by the Hp support forums. I read your post and understand that you are visiting us for support again. I will be more than happy to assist you. Excellent troubleshooting and terrific analysis of the issue Kudos to you for that.

• How many computers are connected to the printer on the network?
• Did you try changing your Ethernet cable and check again?
• What are you trying to print?
• Did this happen after a recent power outage or surge?
• Did you try printing from multiple apps and check again?
• Did you run HP print and scan doctor and check?
• Please share an image or screenshot of the exact situation that you see any one of the computers or the error message that you receive?

I had comcast internet, a motorola modem and linksys router. Everything worked.

Switched to CenturyLink with their modem/router. everything worked EXCEPT I can't print via ethernet connection from any of the three computers to the HP P1606. Deleting the printer results in inability to reinstall it. Even in that state, I can still print to it from my iPhone. Everything else on the network talks to each other. and I can print to another HP printer via a wifi connection  from the same modem/router. I can also print to the P1606 from my iPhone (WIFI to the modem router then ethernet to theP1606.

Spent 10 hours over two days with a centurylink techand learned nothing. Then I called century link to see if I could get a replacement modem. BUT firest they want to know the port number of the Printer P1606 to the modemrouter.

I think they know something but won't share and I can't find a source to get this port number from.
