I just got an HP 410c so that I could print wirelessly from my iPad and iPhone. The printer is set up and on the router network. However, when I go to print from the iPhone, it cannot find the printer. Advice?
Got a tip for us?

The printer says that it connected to the router and the network, but the Mac itself cannot even connect to the printer. I ran through the installation CD, but it's not picking it up. I even entered the printer's IP address, but the error message comes up: the setup assistant could not connect to your address.

But isn't it supposed to be wireless? I thought that was the whole point!

They start out with a cable then after that they can be wireless. The cable is needed to set up the network connection to the printer IP since they are not discoverable.
Using the USB I was able to print from the Mac. Once I take the USB out, the printer cannot be found. I ran a network test and everything passed. I know the printer is on my router. But still no wireless printing from the Mac and the iPad can't find it either.
