Hi,
I have been given a HP C7280 printer from my parents that they no longer need.
I brought it to my house and connected the printer to the network and installed the software/drivers needed. When the software tries to find the printer on the wireless network it cant find anything. I have entered the IP the printer shows on the screen when i look at the network details - but still no luck. Everything i try draws a blank.
The printer worked perfectly at my parents house and i could print from my android phone, but at my house i am having no such luck. I was wondering if it could be to do with my router? I am a Virgin media customer and use their home hub.
Any ideas?

Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,
- Restart the computer, printer, and router.
- Manually connect the printer to your network.
- Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
- Temporarily disable firewall software on the computer.
- Uninstall and reinstall the HP driver and software.
