    Resolved [RESOLVED] "Want to change my printer to wired instead of wireless!"

    I have a HP Photosmart 6510 wireless printer connected to a Windows 7 wireless PC and I have decided to hard wire my( Cisco) router's ethernet cable directly to my PC for faster d/l and u/l times, however now my printer won't recognize or communicate with my printer. Can I set-up my printer to be wired? I don't see any USB ports on this printer! Thanks

    Got the manual, as those type of printers the USB connection is buried inside under the scanner end usually. Anyway where I have been finding them.

    But the manual, page 7 shows it on the rear next to the power connection..
