Charles, Are you using DHCP or static IP addresses?

Your local area network (LAN) is likely to be 192.168.1.0; check your router's admin pages (or the label on the rear or bottom for the default IP address). > Two old book-marks to the printer read: > http://192.168.1.110/ > http://192.168.1.109/hp/device/this.LCDispatcher > Both of them return the message: > "Unable to connect". I've no idea if a printer can connect via DHCP or if it needs a static IP address.

Needs the root password (root tends to be the default admin). I wonder if the printer is on a different subnet from the wireless laptops. More experienced folks than I can offer better advice on diagnosing the specific problem source.
