Cat 8 Ethernet Hookup not Working.

[djfu50]

I just attached a Cat 8 Ethernet cable for my HP 9015 all-in-one printer so I can "hard-wire" connect it. It had been connected via WiFi. When turning off Wifi, printer is not working with the ethernet cable, saying it is offline. Have to turn the WiFi back on. How can I remedy this?

Hi @djfu50,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

I see that you are facing an issue with connecting your Printer to the network.

Please follow the steps below to connect your printer to the network again.

1) Uninstall the HP smart app by click on this link, Restart the computer or mobile device to clear possible error conditions.

2) Enable Wi-Fi setup mode: When you turn on your printer for the first time, it is temporarily placed in Wi-Fi setup mode so that it can be discovered during setup. Use the printer control panel to restore Wi-Fi setup mode, and then set up the printer again. Go to Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer for more information.

3) Refer to this link to use the HP smart app on your phone/tablet/PC to add a printer.

Note: Enable Bluetooth for an HP Smart app setup: Enable Bluetooth on your computer or mobile device so that HP Smart can detect the printer during the setup.

Please click “Accepted Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution. Click the “Kudos/Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a great day ahead!

I'm waiting as I bought an ethernet splitter. Might have only 1 wall plug with Ethernet. Have my PC and printer there. When I receive it and hook things up to try, I'll respond further here. Haven't forgotten and do appreciate your input. Give me a few more days...thanks.
