Can't print wirelessly with bonjour..

[Noted]

I've got a HP Deskjet 6840 which is a wireless print with latest mac drivers and everything. I added it with bonjour and it has the address 192.168.0.7.

But it wont print. I have to use a long usb cable to connect to it which is a hassle cos the cable has to go all the way across the room. Why isnt it printing wirelessly. It seems to be set up correctly.

Do you have the built in firewall turned on? If so, turn it off and then try printing again. If it works, you just have to isolate the proper port to open. Failing that, did you follow the setup instructions that came with the printer? With wireless devices not attached to computers, it's often very important to do things in the precisely right order.

Firewall is turned off. And yes, I followed the setup instructions that came with the printer when I installed it. It's worked a few times, but right now it isnt working.

Oh, well if it does work sometimes and nothing's changed, it might just be temperamental or have low reception. My printer sometimes refuses to print over the network after my PowerBook has been asleep...sometimes I have to turn the printer off and back on (faster and less obtrusive than restarting the computer) to restore the connection.

No what I mean is that the first few times when I first installed it about 6 months ago , it didnt work, then about 3 months ago it worked like twice. Then for some reason its stopped working ever since and I have to use USB.
