HP Tango

Hello,

I am having an annoying issue with my Tango Printer. I used to be fine and I had no issues but recently it dropped its connection to my IMAC and i cannot get it reconnected. The weird thing is that it connects fine with my Iphone but not my IMAC. I have tried connecting with my IP address, connecting over the wifi both my phone and desktop are connected to, downloading updates. However that doesn't work because it can't find my printer. Anybody have any tips or tricks?

  • Make sure the printer and the MAC are connected to the same wireless network. (Wi-Fi Direct only)
  • This printer supports only 2.4GHz network. So, the MAC should be on the 2.4GHz network. (Wi-Fi Direct only)
  • If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks.

Let me know if you have a flex system (Wi-Fi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated when using the router type of connection.
