I have 2 issues:
1. Ethernet Connection: I am not able to connect to instant ink after connecting my Officejet Pro 8610 to my PC via ethernet cable. How can I connect it to instant ink? I used to have it on a wireless network, but was having issues with the printer going offfline, so I conected it to my pc using an ethernet cable. It somehow lost the ability to connect to the internet via wifi
2. Wireless Connection: . How can I get a stable conection to the printer without having it go offline by itself when its on a wifi connection?
I need to resolve this as soon as possible since my Instant Ink will be disabled without a connection to the internet.
