YES, it works great. I just have to do some testing on couple older O/S's - but they are optional. Also want to test incoming Fax Thanks

Thank You for this suggestion. I may try (play with this) latter. For now I have USB wired-Wifi combo that seems to work. (unless Microsoft changes something in there next update 24H2 this fall - they like to screw things up, I think)

All right. I tried as you suggested. 1. disconnected USB from Win 11 - primary host for the printer. 2. Enabled Wi-Fi on the printer (connected to hub/router) 3. Installed HP software on Win 10 and connected to HP printer via Wi-Fi - tested, printing fine. 4. Re-plugged the USB to the Win 11...

THANKS everyone for the suggestions and ideas on connecting this printer to multiple PCs. This is extremely frustrating as I still hold that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Printer. If I leave my old Win 7, which was the host for the printer, Ican connect to the printer from ANY PC ...

Interesting; Are you suggesting that there can mixed connection - Wi-FI and wired. Wired as in to the PC or into a router?

As mentioned, I have no Ethernet cable from the printer -has USB end, so I'd have to get a converter - too much hassle. Trying WI_FI may be an option I'll see. THANKS

I tried connecting all possible way - have CD; with hostname and other drop down options - ZERO success. It simply will NOT find the printer

Thanks for suggestions. Not really a problem with Win 11 or Win 10 or older seeing PCs on the Network. I can even see the printer on Win 11 IT JUST WILL NOT CONNECT. I may try WI-FI, but as I said if I will use Fax where will that - on what PC - end up going to? Been busy on weekend and today so...

As mentioned above, I need Full access for scanning and possible FAX. No problem there I already have the software on Win 11 all I have to do is install on other PCs. I was hoping NOT to do that - extra bulky software on Win 10 and older Win 7 and occasional Win 8.1 tablet. This seems like a...

I tried both ways. NOT with TCPIP in cas eI have to switch my router/Ethernet connections. But via hostname "\\hostaname\..." and double clicking. As I said, my Win 10 shows the printer under the Win 11 it just will not connect.

I most likely need "...Full_Webpack..." since we do scanning (and future FAX) Our PCs are always ON so that was never a problem having them ON. Have to test it. Thanks

Yes, I do have WI-FI but so far did stay away from it, for most part. Not sure if true-probably not, but do not want more RF floating around, don't even have cell phones. My older PC may not have WI-FI on it. I did think about it but we use this printer also for a lot of scanning and I am not...

Well, as you know I am new to this, or any support forum. Not up on the modern "likes", etc. - from old school since before PCs. But sometimes you can teach an old dog. So, bear with me, I'll reply to all postings here Thanks for all replies/comments/suggestions. . I've using HP printers for...

Have HP OfficeJet Pro 8720. Printer works fine on Win11 23H2, I cannot connect from Win10 22H2 to this printer. Network sharing is ON. I can see other PCs on the Network. I can even see the Printer on the Network on Win10 under Win11 PC - it shows there. BUT it fails with error "Windows could...
