I have an hp laserjet m1536dnf connected to a wired network of 8 computers. The printer has been able to print and scan as a network standalone and out of blue the scanner was no longer available. I uninstalled the software and when I try to re-install the printer is no longer available as the hp software cannot detect it when you search automatically, through ip address or through hardware address. When I run the ping command the printer is detected. Currently I have the printer shared through one of the computers connected by usb and computers can print but scanner is not available. All the computers are running Windows 7 home premium

Hi Mogotsi,
You should clean and reinstall printer.
Clean mean even from registers in each pc.
Since you have win 7 home edition problems with networking will always happens due to the fact of the OS you poses is not designed properly for networking
You should install driver in each PC. Since your communication is OK with PING you will solve problem with HP printer itself.
First step you should reset default values of the printer itself and than.

You can avoid this problem, as well as some security issues with
printers, by putting all printers in a dedicated VLAN/subnet. You
then apply a firewall or access control list to that interface that
allows printing ports (TCP 8100) in from the clients and print servers
and telnet or ssh in from specified hosts for configuration.

The windows software and windows live photo gallery do not detect the scanner on the printer. I only shared the printer through usb as a temporary solution to get users to have some printing sevice available as the printer is not detected through the network
