The printer says it's connected to the wireless network, and I believe it, because my dad's old Pent. 4 computer can connect to it using the wireless router.
However, I go into System -> Admin -> printing and the HP is not there.
The IP Address is 192.168.2.19 for the printer, but when I click "Trouble?" in the Printers window, it can't find what's wrong with it.
Let me explain this a little better.
This is an HP All-in-One wireless model C4780.
It is connected to an old XP machine via wireless network.
Ubuntu can't see it - it's unlisted in the Printing window.
I can't figure out how to do this correctly.
Ya see, I'm pretty sure my Vista would be able to connect, but the doc. I need is on Ubuntu, and it's a horror just starting up Vista on my laptop.
So, can anybody give me troubleshooting suggestions? Tips?
I appreciate any help,
SPARTAN-118
EDIT: I'll try connecting via USB for know. But I need help setting up wireless. I heard something about switching from USB to JetDirect to do that, but I don't even know what that is. pathetic, I know.
