Wireless printing with HP OfficeJet J4680 and Linux

Asked by RosalynS

I have a HP OfficeJet 4680 which is working wireless with my Mac laptop using a linksys router. My PC with Fedora 10 uses this same router to connect wirelessly to the internet, but I cannot see the printer which I have connected to this same router. How can I use wireless printing with the HP OfficeJet 4680 and Redora 10?

I just noticed a typo. I meant to write Fedora 10 in the last sentence.

Hi Rosalyn -

Did you configure the unit using hp-wificonfig? Try configuring the unit using hp-wificonfig, then running hp-setup using the ip shown on the last screen of wificonfig.

Thank you for supporting HPLIP.

Thank you, Linus. I will try your suggestion as soon as I get back next
month from a long trip. I was hoping to get it set up before I left but
wasn't able to do so. I'll try your idea then and let you know the result.
