Answer» When I try to print, I get the message "printer is offline check cables etc." Cables are fine. Printer is on. USB cable goes from my PC direct to MP800.
I have a second computer which is networked to this(main)one.
Wiring is:
my PC(PC1)to hub
hub to PC2
From the other pc, can print no problem, so signal goes from PC2 to (hub then to )PC1 then thru USB cable to printer and away she goes. So the POWER is on and the USB cable is sound and the printer PRINTS. Where to from here???
