[DM-MUG] HP Deskjet 6980

[Stuart Thiessen]

I suspect that it may be related to 10.4.9. But I tend to use my laptop more than my home computer. My wife didn't inform me until recently that she couldn't print. I will try direct and see if it makes a difference. I plan to test on my home computer first (because it only has one printer). Then if that solves it, do the same on my work laptop. :)

I am starting to think seriously about wired for both but it means running some cable so I will have to look into that. :)

Thanks,

Stuart

Sorry, I didn't see the networked part. Before you reset, you should  
connect one computer via wire directly to the printer and see if it  
works. Then you'll know that it is something in the wireless config.  
Frankly, I avoid wireless as a rule. I have a Airport Extreme, but  
its coverage in my house is wildly variable. I do not trust wireless  
for anything business-related either, there are too many variables  
for inconsistent behavior and security holes.

Did you upgrade to 10.4.9 and then the problem occurred?
