OfficeJet 8620 two problems one) Win7 firewall connection wifi and b) the printer multi-network

Bought the printer this afternoon and set up a computer - connection to a printer with wifi as advised in the closed paper work and CD. No problems.

When I put it in place of the second computer (with wifi) using the CD provided, I received an error message that the hp software can see the given IP address printer but he could not automatically connect using the "typical connection method. Tips in the dialog box has been to change the settings of firewall computer method of 'typical connection '. Any advice on what this might be. Looking at the Win7 firewall, all HP printer software are checked for the home network and the public. What else the firewall must Win7 allow to operate the automatic printer connection?  BTW, I followed the advice of the installation software and punted for the moment. The warning by the software that was if the printers IP address changes, I'll have to manually change it into the computer with the firewall issue (ugh).

That leads to the second problem:

A couple of my computers are ethernet only. No wifi. When I plug ethernet to the 8620, it defines an IP address for itself on ethernet, but he abandoned the wifi IP address. How can I feel some ethernet connected computers and some wifi connected ones.

Any constructive advice is VERY WELCOME.

I apologize in advance if there is already a solution posted either of these problems; I couldn't find searching them the forum.

Hi lennyw07016,

Thanks for letting me know that worked for you.

I suggest the setting up of a static IP address. In this way the router will always assign the same IP address to the printer.

Printer does not keep the wireless connection.

Proceed to Solution 3: printer of the assign a static IP address.

Here is a document for configuration of a firewall to allow a connection with the all-in-one Windows.

You can check if you like.

Thank you.
