I've done a one-for-one replacement of a HP printer scanner off Ebay (Photosmart 3210). It's a good buy and the machine works fine, with one But.
The scanner is not communicating. I had to reset the printer IP address in the router to **...1.72 from the previous **....1.68 to get printing for the family with the software loaded with the original machine. I found that HP do a scanner diagnostic utility - ahh thought I - but that sticks at the first screen because it says the scanner IP address is **...1.67, and I can find that IP address in the HP section of the registry.
Is it the case that where these printer / scanners are concerned that the printer and scanner have different IP addresses despite being in the same box? I could just change the registry entry, but am concerned that if I could screw things up if I put them both on the same address.
Any ideas please - thanks
