Thanks for help.

Printer works OK/prints & scans connected directly via USB port/cable; I would like to disconnect USB and connect via Ethernet cable. Please advice how to do it; which port I have to selected for Ethernet connection.

If you have switched the connection and the printer is now "off line" (not responding):

• Restart Everything, including the router -- the printer may connect and respond correctly

and / or

• Selecting the Correct Port for Your HP Printer in Windows

I tried all different ports in ports selection and cannot find the right one; still getting printing errors when connected to the network via Ethernet cable. Please advice where to find HP 7210 software for WIN 10; with software install this port shoud be detected automatically.

@Andrewrem

This may or may not work - the printer may only function via the USB cable.

There has not been software for this printer for a long time.

Try / Consider:

Remove the printer from Devices and Printers - delete it.

Shut down the computer

Connect the printer to your network router - wait 60 seconds

Print a network configuration report

If the configuration report verifies the printer is on the network:

Verify that your router can see the printer on the network

Boot the computer and log in

Open a cmd window and ping the printer

If the printer is on the network:

Add-a-Printer procedure - Add the printer using the first available port offered (LPT1?)

I did it in a slightly different way.

1. Manually selected/added printer

2. Activated Discovery Network to share the printer

3. Everything works fine = can print now via network Ethernet cable

Thanks for help.

Excellent.

Network discovery step is in the document but I did not extract it for the example -- I will add this to personal notes (few people actually read documents).  Smiling.  Thanks for the reminder!

I am glad the printer is finally working as expected.

Happy Printing!
