The HP5850 has USB, Ethernet & Wifi connectivity. The printer is connected to a router through ethernet, and your laptop connects to the router through wifi...
Since you can use it with Windows, I assume all the cables are connected correctly. I will also assume that your Wifi works in general (you can access websites, etc). So it seems the printer is not correctly setup under linux. I suggest you remove it and add it again, and tell us if you get any errors in the process. -- impossible to connect a laptop wi-fi to lan printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
