IS this printer wired LAN to your router? If so, look in the settings to your printer and check the IP address.

Now in the settings menu, it should have an option for you to set DLNA or manual. Set to manual. Enter the same IP address the machine originally had. If you could not find what ip address your printer had, in windows startmenu find run or command prompt and type ipconfig all.

Find the ip address for your computer. Add 10 to it. For example, if it is 192.168.0.2 than give your printer 192.168.0.12 If it asks for a subnet mask use 255.255.255.0

I believe the problem you are having is that every time your router resets it gives your printer a different ip address (dynamic IP), so your printer driver software can no longer find it. You need to use a static ip address (manually giving the printer an ip address) so it never changes and the driver can always find it.

HP 7210 Officejt is not printing
Hi,

Are you able to make copy from printer or print test page ?
If you are not able to make copy from printer or print self test page
Check if the cartridges are not empty.
If they have ink, follow the steps below

1. Disconnect the power cable from back of printer
2. While holding the # and 6 button, connect the power cord to printer.
3. It will print the alignment sheet and you will have to re-align the printer and try to print/copy
*Note this is Semifull reset and doing so you may loose fax logs and other fax related setting you have setup on printer.

Or are you not able to print from PC ?

HP Officejet 7210 Is Very Very Slow (10 mins / page printing)
And I have exactly the same problem too that has happened in the last few weeks.

I've tried reinstalling the software/drivers and resetting the printer to factory settings but no joy. An upgrade either windows or HP must have caused this!

HP Officejet 7210 "hangs" when starting a job. It gets through initializing when powered up, but after doing the # 6 powerup reset, it has a message "Aligning Cartridges-Please Wait" but does not do...
You should have a program installed on your computer called HP Product Assistant. Try running this program to determine the problem.

Also, make sure all the ink cartridges are fully seated.

You might also try unplugging the printers power cord, let it sit for a couple minutes, then plug it back in.

HP OfficeJet 7210
No luck. I had my dad (Mr. fixit) take a look at it, but we couldn't figure it out. I replaced it with a Photosmart C7280 All in One, which I like for the most part. The 7210 is in a box - looking for a free place to recycle it! Good luck.
