Add HP 8210 Printer to Airport Extreme with USB
Add HP 8210 Printer to Airport Extreme with USB
I have HP OfficeJet 8210 I want to connect to local Airport Extreme with USB and share with other Macs on same Airport Extreme network.
Currently I have to shutdown/restart the printer to get on the local network with IP address 10.0.1.115 which is automatically assigned at printer restart.
How do I assign permanent IP address (1.0.10.115?) to printer so that printer restart not needed and printer will be available to all local network users?

I would not use USB for extensive printer sharing. Use an Ethernet cable instead.

Thanks for the update and I was happy to help. You should be good to go with Ethernet. That is how my HP 8610 is hooked up.
1.Connect the USB cable to the printer and to the USB port of the AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station.
2.Click the Apple menu (), and then click System Preferences.
3.Click Print & Fax or Print & Scan.
4.Click the plus sign (+), and then select the name of your HP printer.
5.Click Add.
