HP6ECC6B office jet 3830 says offline.
It is connected to wifi, wifi works, same wifi as laptop,
Have restarted, deleted wifi and reconnected, it's set as default printer.
properties: This device is working properly.
driver 10.0.19041.1 6/21/2006
HP printer/scan doctor does not work...says "unknown port" then freezes
used to work fine. don't know what changed.
on google fiber network, at one point to get an app to work fiber had me split the feed into a 5g and a 2g system so I thought that might be it because the printer can't see the 5g system so I reverted laptop back to the regular system but still wont' print
any help appreciated.
