Hello,
I have 2 printers in my house. One of which my phone always sees when I join my local wifi. The other printer, HP6600 OfficeJet, it sometimes sees it as available & sometimes it doesn't. There's no rhyme nor reason of why. My Windows tablet always sees the printer. Sometimes it will show up on my phone to print maybe a PDF & then it will drop off the list of available printers. But it still shows my 6700.

More information:
- The 6700 is hard wired to a wireless router
- The 6600 is simply a wireless printer

I've tried & tried to figure out why sometimes I can not see, but also print to that printer & then sometimes it's like it doesn't exist. Any thoughts? I'm afraid this is going to be a problem for me when I get an iPad soon. I'll definitely need to connect to both printers then!
