The (usb) adapter that works on this laptop to reach the computer is a Linksys AE2500, in case that offers any clues. Oh, and this printer problem existed when the more recent driver was installed too. Problem is fully isolated to this adapter. And yes, I have completely ruled out firewall, advanced sharing settings, permissions, etc. So I tried looking through advanced settings but am getting lost due to the extreme differences in available options on the two different wireless adapters.Īny suggestions for possibilities to try are welcome. I disabled the AC 3165 adapter and connected via a USB wireless adapter. Every other computer, whether ethernet or wifi, is able to ping, install, and print to the printer. Unless I plug in to ethernet, then it is fine. It will not ping the printer's static IP address. It continues to not be able to access a network printer. Resolution was to delete the device (running driver version 19.51.30.1), then reinstall which reset driver to version 19.51.21.1, and now the computer and its shares are available. Initially, this laptop would not find other computers or printers on the network while on wifi, but worked fine when connected via ethernet. Problem is a laptop with the AC 3165 adapter.
