[QUOTE="Big Byte, post: 1919476, member: 412299"] Well, what do you know, that worked! Thanks!! I think the reason my old MBP and my old printer worked while connected by an ethernet cable is because they used to be linked to my network (via the router) at my old office. When I moved to my home office, I no longer had my own wifi (and, so, no router of my own), but managed to keep the printer working using an ethernet cable. Maybe all the IP protocols were still on my old MBP and my old printer, so that's why it still kept working? And, just to note, the "hub" I referred to is not connected to my ISP interface (as far as I can tell); it just plugs into the 2 ports on the MBP and allows other types of connections. Anyway, thanks a lot, everyone, for your help! Much appreciated! [/QUOTE]
