HP Recommended
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

This printer was described as having "Dynamite performance, brutally poor instructions" in the most popular review on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R3V85AZRH164QF/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B002Z...

In the past, I have used the very detailed instructions explained there to connect the printer. Haven't used printer for a while and now can't get it connected to wireless or by ethernet cable. Doesn't show up as being connected to my router when I use an ethernet connect to my Asus RT AX55 router. Doesn't show up as being connected to my Windows 7 computer. Have rebooted multiple times. As explained in Amazon article, amazingly, the printer doesn't connect when you try to use a USB connection. (Has always been this way even when working wirelessly.)

Got someone on Craigslist ad to try to fix it using team viewer. Never showed up on router when he tried multiple ways to get it to do so. Tried multiple IP Addresses and none worked. (When 1st got printer the Samsung Sync Thru, after a fair amount of work, could wireless connect with printer. Wireless LED light never comes on. Tried multiple USB cords and no connection made at all with computer. (Same as when I originally bought it).

 

The 2525 is connected to the LPT 1 port, which is almost certainly wrong.

 

My son has a new Apple laptop. With USB connection, printer shows on his computer but printer doesn't work -- states "no location.   Also,so, I have re-installed the drivers.

This is a great working printer and with the price of printers so high, I would like to get it working if I can.
