when i go to settings for printer and follow the directions to install hp 4500 printer the app does not recognize the printer. I have tried both wi-fi and ethernet connections with no success.

Bwahhh,

I have exactly the same problem.

On my wife's PC it just works fine in the network.

I can see the IP-address, the name of the printer, and so on when I try to install, but at my PC it just does not work.

Indeed very frustrating and I more and more am in the mood to buy another printer from another supplyer. The support from HP is too complicated to find my way.
