Confusing title, apologies!
Tldr: dad is a Long haul trucker, needs a printer in his truck. Printer seems to require an internet connection to verify itself with HP because Fuck Me, Right? Wifi Direct to the printer Did Not Work, so I set up a router just to see if a wan would work. Now we can see the printer, but it still will not print. I suspect, because HP Fucking Sucks Ass, printer/app require a connection to their shit.
How do I fake this? Truck DOES NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE AN ACTUAL INTERNET CONNECTION! Including cell connection, thanks Rural Illinois and Indiana.
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope!
It’s an HP printer. It needs to be connected to the internet to print. What really kills me is that I shouldn’t need any more equipment just to print a document, nor should I have to spoof or trick or whatever. I should just be able to print.
