Printer: hp photosmart 6520; operating system: win7; router:linksys

 

When I first got this printer, I used the USB connection and all was fine. Then, I changed to wireless mainly to use eprint.

 

This morning, I decided to go back to the wired USB connection--was able to accomplish it but with considerable difficulty--and now I have 2 printers in my printer folder ( HP photosmart 6520, and hp photosmart 6520(network).

 

My question is : can I have the printer run as both wired and wirelessly ? If so,how?

Hi,

 

They are LOGICAL printers to separate the physical connections.  Before, you did a conversion from USB to wireless (took away the printer) but now you have TWO connections. Yes, we can use both connections at the same time but when sending a print job to print your computer must know which way.

 

Regards.

Thanks-- my reason to have both is to use 'eprint' and also ,for some reason, the printer-after it's on for a time-loses connection to the network ( even though it's within 3 feet of the router) and thus, it is frequently easier to print with the USB wire.
