My printer is 192.168.1.7 wifi connected to my router 192.168.1.1.
If connected to my router, you can see and use #7,
only if you have the HP software installed.
If you are
not connected to my router, you may see "HP-MFP", but you cannot connect to it.
That seems the problem with my wife's laptop. She is not connected to the neighbor's router, but her software somehow sees his printer.
I think 192.168.1.7 is simply a "service-port", all data printed/scanned/faxed/CFcards uses sub-ports.
Watching my wifi monitor, I can see my ...7 traffic when I request ink-status, scan-feeder, paper-tray,,, but I never see the actual data streams???
I asked the neighbor if he ever sees printing from who-knows, he said "it often readies itself, but nothing happens".
When printing to mine, I hear the paper tray lift, before its says "Printing in progress".
..........this is confusing....
When she prints her Gmail, it comes to my printer. When running her corporate (VPN ???) application, my printer is quiet.
No problem message, no error, no foul !
When she runs the
off-line applications, my printer gets busy.
How do I "delete it from the wireless AP list" ?
Thanks for your input
