    Thanks very heipful. I am trying to hookup a chromebook to my HP Laserjetpro MFP M 127fn which I was not able to connect by usb cable. I am wondering if this would via WiFi. The printer is not listed as compatible with chromebooks.

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  Před rokem +1

      You're most welcome. Once you connect this printer with WIFI it "should" be seen as network printer by the Chromebook and it "should" allow you to connect it and print to it. A quick way to find out is to connect the printer using a LAN network cable to the router and seeing if the Chromebook see it and prints to it. Regardless of how the printer connects to the router (LAN cable or WIFI) the CB will see as a networked printer and "should" print to it regardless. Give a go with a network cable straight from the printer to the router. If it works then my solution will work too. I print to my printer using my android phone so it works with that though not the same as a CB. Thank you so much for commenting, watching and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly. All the best.👍😀

      Thanks Richard for taking the time to give your inciteful advice. I have tried as you suggested and indeed when I hooked the printer to the router by ethernet and set up printer on the network, both pc and my wife's chromebook were able to see it and print to it. So now I can buy an extender knowing it will work. My HP printer is so reliable I sure didn't want to replace it.

    • @richardlloydusa

      You're most welcome. My HP LaserJET MFP M426fdn is permanently connected in this fashion and it works great! HP makes a great printers. I own three! I usually buy them used at bargain prices too. ️ I'm glad to know I could help you and that you got value from my work here. I made this video to help people just like you.

    I tried to convert a router into an extender using your instructions, but then I found the option to use an extender. It works great. I do like this option for the printer though because sometimes the printer does go offline. Thank you for all that you do.

    Ethernet powerline adapter would have also worked for something like this. Turns your existing electrical wires in your house into "network cable".

    My printer is in basement. I currently lug laptop down and connect the usb in order to print. I like your solution. However, I would have to leave my printer on stand-by (continuously using electricity) all of the time in case I would need to print wirelessly from another location in house. And, I would still have to go to basement to pick up printed sheets. All I would be saving would be lugging down laptop to basement and hooking up usb in order to print. Don't know if it is worth it.

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  Před rokem +2

      The nice thing about this solution is that I can put the printer anywhere. You could also go with a smart wall plug Amazon(paid): amzn.to/3G0Ragz or at Amazon(paid): amzn.to/3j9iZui that way you could turn it on remotely and save on electricity.

    doesn't the router have to be near the printer to do this?

    • @richardlloydusa
      @richardlloydusa  Před rokem +1

      It might help when configuring the access point but as long as the access point connects to the router the printer can be anywhere.
