Closest known fix
Written by AI from what people tried. Nobody has confirmed it works yet.
The most likely cause is that the laptop's Wi-Fi and the printer's wired connection are on different networks, such as a guest network or a separate hub subnet. Check this first.
1. **Confirm they're on the same network.** On the laptop, note the first three numbers of its IP address (Settings > Network & internet > Wi-Fi > your network). They should match the printer's (for example, both 192.168.1.x).
2. **Get the printer's IP address.** Print a network configuration page from the printer's control panel, or check the hub's device list.
3.
