Im sure this is simple, and I'm usually pretty good at networking things but for some reason this has me stumped. 

 

I have a printer that is connected directly into a pc.  I am trying to connect a second pc to the same printer wirelessly, but for some reason it does not see the printer.  Like I said, should be pretty simple but for some reason I just can't get it.

 

Any ideas?

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

The Printer can be setup using only one method of connection at a time.

 

If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution and Kudos buttons, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

 

Thanks!

 

Have a great day!
