how do I install 2 printers on same network

[KenRU]

Have 2 Officejet Pro 8710 printers.  One in my office and one in my wifes office.  We have one network and it only finds the first printer installed.  How do I install both printers on the same network and can I rename them

Greetings @KenRU, 

Welcome to HP Forums and Thanks for the post. 

I understand that you have 2 printers of the same model and want to connect them to the same network. I will be happy to help. 

Have you run the wireless setup wizard on your printers?

What is the operating system install on your computers?

Recommend you to run the wireless setup wizard on your printer using the printer front panel. Refer to page number 102 in the printer manual. 

Once both are connected to the network, you can open devices and printers on your computer and rename the printers to avoid conflict. 

Once the printer is connected to the network, print the network configuration report. Your printer would be assigned a unique ip address. 

Enter the printer's IP address on any web browser on the computer which is on the same network. 

This would bring up the EWS page of the printer, where you can change the hostname of the printer. 

Let me know if this helped.
