HP 2542 can not get network printing installed

I am trying to install this printer but I always end up in same place.
The install always stops wih the error "The Printer and the Computer are Connected to Different Networks"
The IP address of the computer is 192.168.1.93
The IP address of the printer is 192.168.1.94
My home network is conneted to the Internet via a AT&T Uverse. The gatway is 192.168.1.254.
The DNS is also at 192.168.1.254.
I can ping the printer from the computer at 192.168.1.93 
I can access the printer via the web at 92.168.1.94 wih the usb cabel disconnected
Because I am at the max limit of the U-verse 2Wire box range I have installed a NetGear WiFi extender model WN2000RPT as an extender only, no DHCP or other features.
The configuration has supported other printers and the installing computer is connected via WiFi. I also  have another computer at this same site that connects via WiFi.

Hi cramafab,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I suggest you attempt the steps that are listed in the following document for Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless network for the HP Deskjet 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2....
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

    It might be possible to do this with an Airport Express. Your AE joins the network and the printer is connected to the AE. If you can get it cheap (g speed is OK).

    Hi all,
    Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
    Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
    I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

  • Tried both ways in the Wiki, still can't get network printing work

    Hi,
    I have tried both the client and server ways following the Wiki, still could not get network printing work.
    For the first way, I tried to put either the host name or the ip address (starting with 192) of the remote printer into /etc/cups/client.conf. But both Okular and Evince failed to see the printer in the dialog.
    For the second way, with cups-browsed running, it only managed to discover printers in my local network (ip starting with 137) which I have no access. I tried to manually add the printer using its ip, but it still did not work.
    What can I do? I have spent hours trying to work it out but failed. I would appreciate a lot your help. Thanks.

    Hi Everybody,
    I use an Epson Stylus Office BX320FW printer with my IMac.  Since upgrading OSX, I have lost the ability to print and scan.  I have downloaded printer drivers from both Epson and Apple.  I am using the printer in wifi mode but can not get it print or scan.  How do I uninstall the Epson software and start all over again?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • I can not get itunes to install and open on my new laptop i am so frustrated i have uninstalled and reinstalled at least a dozen times in the last month

    Will iTunes open in safe mode? Hold down CTRL+SHIFT as, or immediately after, you click the icon that starts iTunes and keep holding until you see this prompt.
    Click Continue.
    Assuming iTunes has opened, enable the menu bar, if necessary, with CTRL+B. Then go to Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. Press OK, close iTunes, wait until it has had a chance to fully close then reopen.
    Will iTunes open normally now?
    If not, see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for genral advice.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • I can not get my printer to work with my new macbook pro. Help?

    I have a printer from Dell that my macbook has recognized and it act as though it is printing but nothing is happening. The computer acts like it sends the doc to the printer but my printer is not doing anything. Any suggestions?

    Check the Dell website for compatible printer drivers you can download and install.
    Once the drivers are installed, open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
    Then click + to add the printer.
