somewhere
anyone have this printer .. i bought it because it was on sale ..
and having a hell of a time setting up wireless

if it is connect to my router .. i can wirelessly print to it from my laptop ..
but i wanted it somewhere else not near the router .. does it have to be connected ?? anyone know how to do it ?
 
Did you read the manual?
I don't know if the one online is the same as the included one, but as far as I can tell, you just need to:
1) get printer's IP address by printing a config page (hold button for 5 secs)
2) in Print & Fax prefs, click + then select IP > HP jetdirect, then enter the IP address, then choose model
3) print.
 
yeap .. the wifi led is lit .. i set it up .. and when i go to print .. it says the printer is busy .. and it just hangs .. if it is wired to my router .. it works no problem
 
also when it is on wireless .. when i try to connect to the ip .. it just hangs and wont connect .. this thing is becoming a major pain
 
yeap i set it up as a static ip .. no matter what it wont print when wireless .. no problem when it is connected to the router
