I have connected my iMac to BTHome Hub3 with BT Infinity with ethernet cable and my printer is wireless. When I want to print something, it say looking for printer. The iMac Wi Fi is turned off. It is okay with Wi Fi ON
iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Hello, did you perhaps set it up in the first place with Wifi on?
Is the printer connecting to your router?
Yes. Also I have set up printer to BT Hub from the printer WiFi itself.The printer is HP 5510 eAll in one. It also works from with Imac with WiFi on. Thanks.
The only thing I can suspect at the moment is the the IP of the Wifi Printer isn't in the same range as the Wired IP range... do you know the IPs of both?
The Imac Network Ethernet IP address: 192.168.1.66 and printer Utility IPv4 IP adress: 192.168.1.67
majido,
The wireless capable printers that I'm familiar with can be set up to work specificaly with either wireless OR wired connection --not with both at the same time. For example, my Canon printer software offers three options, ethernet/usb/wireless. I'm using wireless, but if I want to go to a wired ethernet connection, I need to go through the printer driver software and reconfigure the printer. Perhaps your printer works in a similar manner?
