Hi Rick:  I don't know if I still need assistance or not.  Coincidentally (?) I got a HP update notice this morning and have downloaded a program they recommended for the IP address conflict.  A few days ago, I ended up with two HP 2700 in my devices/printers. When one of them wouldn't work, the other one would.  So, I do have access to the printer.  All I have to do is click to see which one shows as "ready".  I know that isn't the ideal solution, but "works for me".....and i'm so tired of dealing with computer problems.  If it's not IP addresses, it's Live Mail or Yahoo.  I'm going to consider it as solved ad extend my sincere thanks again for your help. K
I'm unable to keep my wireless printer connected -  think it has something to do with not having a static IP address.  Not exactly sure what that means or what can be done, but it's extremely frustrating when I want to print something to have the printer be offline.  Not only is it offline, but I can't get it to connect.  I've tried to disconnect/reconnect the internet connection - sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.  I've tried rebooting computer - sometimes that works, sometimes not.  I know absolutely nothing about IP addresses, but I do occasionally get a popup that a "conflict in IP address has been detected" (or words to that effect).  If anyone wants to try to help me with this, please know that I'm 70, and if there are 10 steps involved, you need to start with #1 and not assume that "any idiot should know the first 3 or 4 steps".  I say this because that has been my problem in the past with forums when I've sought help.  Ports?  no clue.  Incoming/outgoing info - no clue.  ETC.  Basic computer info that I DO know:   Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit  IE10 Inspiron N5010   Printer is HP 2710 Photosmart   This may or may not be relevant.  I live in a rural area; however, my signal strength almost always shows to be "excellent".  If anyone is willing to tackle this, I'd be so grateful.  Thank you.
