I have a functioning wireless network using a Linksys WRT54G router. I have a laptop running Windows XP (up-to-date) and Internet Explorer 8 which connects to the internet using this wireless network. I installed an HP6310 Officejet multifunction printer connecting it to the router using an ethernet cable. I then installed the HP software on the laptop and tried to have the laptop recognize (find) the printer. Using Windows "Add`a Printer Wizard", selecting "Network Printer" and then I receive three options to "find" the printer:(1) Browse - Doesn't locate the printer(2) Connect to this printer - Name:_____ Example:\\Server\printer - Not sure I used correct pathname, but couldn't find the printer.(3) Connect to a printer on the internet or one on a home or office network - Don't think this option applies to my setup, but tried it with different pathname and it didn't work. I know the network name, the IP Address, the network key, the router name, the SSID,the laptop name, and the printer name -- but I don't seem to be able to construct a pathname that works. I have shut down firewall/anti-virus programs, but that made no difference.. HP manual suggests the problem may be a mismatch of the printer and router gateways - I don't know what that means, how to check it, and if needed how to correct it. Can you please give me some guidance on how to solve this problem - PLEASE!Donald McGuckinEmail removed for privacy 1 person needs an answerI do too

Usually the HP install disks take care of connecting to a printer, particularly a Multi-function printer. However you can also connect using the Add Printer Wizard.The first place you went wrong was when you selected the apparently obvious choice of a "Network Printer". Instead, select "Local Printer" and leave "Automatically Detect" unchecked. On the next screen, select "Create a New Port" and change the "Type of Port" to "Standard TCP/IP port". This will bring up yet another wizard which will create a port. Enter the IP address of your printer in the following screen. The rest of the choices from here on out are fairly obvious.HTH, JW
