Ran into a problem last night setting up a HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 at home:
My home network consists of:
Windows 7
Charter Internet through a Motorola modem (don't recall the model but can get that later if germane to the issue).
ASUS T-Mobile Personal Cellspot (which is a rebranded RT-AC68u)
My two primary systems are:
Intel NUC that is connected to the router via Ethernet and also has built in wifi
Home built system (desktop) connected to the router via Ethernet with no wifi
Printer was setup with wireless. Works flawlessly with the NUC, every laptop (including Windows based and Mac) in the house and even my iPhone.
I cannot get the desktop PC to print anything other than a test page using the HP Print and Scan Doctor utility. Why that works I don't know.
A normal test page print from the printer properties fails and the wizard can't fix the issue.
I do have a Homegroup set up for sharing and all that looks fine as the PC can see the printer, it shows up on the network map, etc.
Is it as simple as just buying a USB wifi dongle and throwing that in the desktop PC so that it is essentially setup like the NUC?
Seems that the PC connected to the router should take care of the wireless for me but no go.
I did try setting the printer up on the PC with Windows firewall on and off and no change.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Bill
