Deskjet 3050 J610 won't connect to Nighthawk M60 Mesh Router

[tydalwave_]

Hello I'm having difficulty pairing my Deskjet 3060 J610 printer to my Nighthawk M60 Mesh wifi system. I've done a few things already such as: turning off 5Ghz band on the routers setting and leaving just the 2.4Ghz on to no avail. I've also tried using a hardwired USB connection with both 5Ghz on AND off two separate times to see if any luck. No such luck. Any other tips or tricks to help?

Hi@tydalwave_, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Delete the printer in Control Panel > Printers

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click the Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's hostname (found on the printer's network configuration report generated above). Click Next.
If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the hostname. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the hostname.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer, and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

Now, let's set a static IP address for the printer:

- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen, you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.1.100 to .149.  Let's use 192.168.1.200 for your printer.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.

Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.

After this, you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.
