This is the best printer tutorial video on the planet. I've been watching videos for days, including videos from other countries. Had my issue fixed in 5 minutes after watching this.

I simply don't know how to thank you, not only that I solved a serious problem but I also learned a lot from you, thank you sir

[richw]

Oh thank you so I haven't been able to have a printer for over a year, and I tried everything. I had to first remove some antivirus software, delete the web cache and some tinker with firewall type stuff, but this was the thing that cracked the problem!

Thanks CyberPunk. I'd spent hours trying to find my printer again after a Win 10 recovery. You are a good teacher. Very clear, very thorough, and you anticipate possible confusions and address them before I knew I had them. Good work. Chris in LA

Thank you, thank you, thank you CyberPunk! Your instructions worked first try and using commands to find the printer IP address is genius and super fast. Finally, my printer works with my new laptop thanks to you! I subscribed and will be watching more.

I spent a lot of time watching videos for help. Yours was dead on! Thank you!

Thanks for the good video. Losing my printer was annoying and hope this stays unchanged by microsoft. I did figure the dynamic numbers to try were mine and 3rd number worked. Good when you see what you said. I did select 'apply' and 'ok'. There are two choices to ADD PRT & I choose STD Printer which went to the Wizard. GREAT> Tried printing and it is Working !!! Thanks

This video was very helpful. I did run into one problem but was able to find a fix based on the info in the video. Thumbs up!

You made this look so easy bro, new sub in first vid watched. Awsome.

[pelcarter]

WOW - worked first time!! Just wish I'd not spent so much time watching other You Tube videos that didn't work.

Straight to the point no bullshit video! Very helpful!

Thanks so much for this great video and I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Life sucks sometimes, but it gets better with time... Oh and the typed out step by step in the description was a really nice touch. Unfortunately, a win 10 upgrade to my network PC with the printer hosed my network and none of my other pc's can print to it. I've messed with SO many settings on SO many PC's now I may never recover, but that doesn't diminish your extreme effort! Peace...

thanks! after spending half an hour searching finally got someone knowledgeable.

I like the folder on your desktop ‘Unix Server Sh*t’, LoL

[johnpalmer]

Thank you so much. I have been pulling my hair out by the roots trying to set this up. Done now!

[Sylviajr]

Oh Man ! You made my day ! Thank you for this fantastic video !
I couldn't find a solution with my printing issue. My old Photosmart 8400 series from HP didn't like Windows 10. Happily a subscriber add your link on a forum (thanks to XBladeRunner on HP Community) and It works !
So if anyone has this same problem : First unplug the USB cable and plug in an Ethernet cable on your printer. I've switched on the printer and followed step by step this video. And it works !!! Yay !!!

[odannyboy]

Thank you very much for this tutorial! What a nightmare it is to go through this every so often. When the electricity blinks or goes out for a few minutes, it wipes something on my computer and I have to reconfig my printer settings all over again. You’re the best. Great tutorial!

[sjsphotog]

awesome video. The other videos I checked on YT did NOT correctly show how to find my printers IP address and I could NOT find it using their method. Awesome!! great job. thanks so much

[fastlilpig]

Can't wait to get home and utilize your methodology. Thanks for sharing.

[thomasmichael]
