I have an HP 8500 printer on my home network (ethernet connection to home network). My laptop is WiFi and I also use a 3G USB connection. It is does not interfere with the wireless or affect my printing. <br />

Try uninstalling the Verizon MiFi temporarily to see if that restores proper operation.. <br />

One of my users travels a lot for work. We set them up with a Verizon MiFi for on the go connections. Now, when they are in the office, the only time they can successfully use one of our wifi network printers and scanners is when the MiFi is serving as their connection. If they are connected to our network via ethernet or our office wifi they have to enter their wifi password to successfully print their documents.<br />
<br />
Scanning is not working when not using the MiFi either.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance for the help!

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
