Original title: Windows 10 and Laser Jet Pro MFP M125nw Printer

 

Unable to add network printer HP PageWide Pro 577 MFP on Windows 10 PC.

Issue: Unable to add network printer HP PageWide Pro 577 MFP on Windows 10

Laptop ThinkPad T480 OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro X64
Printer: HP PageWide Pro 577 MFP

Steps i have taken to resolve issue:

Network settings are:

Printer IP address: 172.29.235.46

PC IP settings:
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.29.232.19
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.240.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.29.232.10

Both laptop and printer connected to same open WiFi network.

Neither Windows nor HP installation will detect printer over the network automatically.

I tried adding it using printer's IP address: 172.29.235.46, no good.

Checked if two devices are on same network.
Range of network: 172.29.224.1 - 172.29.239.254
PC and Printer IP's are on the same network, however, ping fails:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping 172.29.235.46
Pinging 172.29.235.46 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 172.29.232.19: Destination host unreachable.

Cannot ping default gateway either:

C:\Users\XYZ>ping 172.29.232.10
Pinging 172.29.232.10 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

I'm connected to internet & browse the internet normally.
Network discovery, file and printer sharing is turned on.

1. How to figure out what might be causing it?
   
2. As per my knowledge if two devices are on same network they should have no problem talking.
3. Could any please advise next steps? TY
