Hello, I have a BR one and I’m trying to set up an older HP 3050A all-in-printer that I would like to set up to use Wireless instead of a USB cable.
Using a USB cable and also using my cell phone as a hotspot, the network printer was able to attach successfully and receive a print job.
When I try to perform the network configuration which I guess send the Network information to the printer through the USB to configure the Network on the printer( touch screen on printer does not allow to enter network info) it fails They failed to join the network message, and it comes up with erroneous you might have a Mac filtering address enabled. There is nothing set up on the router, in terms of firewall or access settings.
The only thing that was done is that there were three VLAN set up for the Wireless.
Just strange that I was able to do it with my cell phone as a hotspot, but can’t complete the setup on the router.
The WPA. I updated to get to WPA3 but forgot printer was old and only supporting wpa. I’m very much a rookie at this stuff. However, created a new printer vlan and an ssid attached to it that uses wpa only.
The only reason why i did that is this is for a business where the VLANS are broken down by all the equipment for the business (POS , receipt printers, Credit card machines) on 1 VLAN, employees have unlimited bandwidth on a 2nd VLAN and the guests have a throttled 3rd VLAN. Core equipment is hardwired and the wireless require at least WPA2. I didn’t want to chance putting a WPA only connected printer on the same as the others however it would make printing easier I guess. Sort of new to this, am I worrying about something I shouldn’t be? Thanks.
