This reply comes late, but for those who might search the internet desperately in the future. The solution is easy. HP printers with an ethernet port come preset with TCP/IP values. In the case of the HP 2000DN or in my case 2100TN, a person needs to hold the Power and Reset button on printer at same time for 5 seconds to print out the configuration of the printer.

HP printers are typically set to Default Gateway 192.168.0.1
ASUS routers like the RT-AC66U and RT-AC68U are set to 192.168.1.1

A network cannot mix gateways, they all must agree by the third number value set, 1 or 0. Since the HP printer is fixed with 192.168.0.1, the ASUS router (or any other router for that fact) must be set to match.

From your administrator interface on the router, select LAN Configure your LAN. Change the value from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 and click Apply. The router will reset and the DHCP will issue not IP values network wide. Your ethernet computers will roll over after a few seconds. Wireless devices will have to be manually reconnected to the LAN, which is simply a matter of selecting the connection source again.

Download and installed the HP wizard for Windows to connect your computer to the Ethernet connected printer: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...em=mp-122330-1 or search for hppiw.exe.

If you can see the printer by this software, you know it is connected. Then proceed to download the PCL6 drivers and install. For the Mac, http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/sit...tem=lj_57300_1

Unless your LAN is using another Non-Routable IP Address

10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255
