English • Printer and computer are on different subnets A subnet is a small network that is part of a larger network. If the computer is on a different subnet than the printer, the software installation can be problematic. Compare the printer IP address listed on the HP Report page with the IP address for the computer. If the first set of digits in the IP addresses are not identical, then the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet. For example, if the computer IP address begins with 169 and the printer IP address begins with 10, then the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet. To find the IP address on a Windows computer: 1. Click Start, click Run, and then enter Command. 2. Type ipconfig at the command prompt, and then press Enter. To find the IP address on a Macintosh OS X computer: 1. Open the Network control panel. 2. Select Airport in the Show drop-down list, and then click TCP/IP. To find the IP address on a Macintosh OS 9 computer, select TCP/IP from the Apple menu. If the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet, move the printer to the same subnet as the computer and then run the installation wizard again. The computer and the printer are on different subnets. The computer and the printer are on the same subnet. 43

Printer and computer are on different subnets
A subnet is a small network that is part of a larger network. If the computer is on
a different subnet than the printer, the software installation can be problematic.
Compare the printer IP address listed on the HP Report page with the IP address
for the computer. If the first set of digits in the IP addresses are not identical, then
the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet. For example, if the
computer IP address begins with 169 and the printer IP address begins with 10,
then the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet.
To find the IP address on a Windows computer:
1.
Click
Start
, click
Run
, and then enter
Command
.
2.
Type
ipconfig
at the command prompt, and then press

.
To find the IP address on a Macintosh OS 9 computer, select

from the
Apple
menu.
If the printer and the computer are not on the same subnet, move the printer to
the same subnet as the computer and then run the installation wizard again.
