HP printer issues after full fibre upgrade
Upgraded to Full Fibre with Sky.
Everything OK - TVs / Fones / Sky Box , , , , except :
My HP Envy 5640 will not now print anything at all - It printed from my computer or mobile phone by Bluetooth.
New Router details added to printer and computer.
Bluetooth is ON . . . . New Router details / name / password entered onto printer
Read somewhere that printer needs software upgrade to accept full fibre info ???
Please Help

Re: HP printer issues after full fibre upgrade
@sib123 As far as I am aware Bluetooth connections don't use your home network to make a connection, so a change in supplier and/or router shouldn't make any difference to existing Bluetooth connections.
This would seem to suggest your printer was , in fact, connecting via wi-fi. You might want to check what security protocol your printer uses, ( WPA3 for example) and ensure the router is using the same one.

Re: HP printer issues after full fibre upgrade
With a white Max Hub you may need to reduce the wireless security level from WPA3 to WPA2-PSK using the Hub settings in the My Sky app.
You can use the same settings to temporarily disable the 5Ghz WiFi band: remember to re-enable it afterwards if you do this.
