I have a HP Photosmart 3210 that has stopped communicating with the network. It seems this started after install of SP3. I am able to print through a USB connection, so I am assuming the printer is working correctly. I am unable to open the Embedded Web Server within the printer to check network status.

What are you experiencing? I only have one PC with XP on it (and SP3) but it can print just fine.

Has anyone run into network printing problems after installing Service Pack 3?

Check to see if the settings on whatever firewall you have installed on your computer were reset. You need to permit local network traffic.

If that's not the issue, print a configuration page from the printer's front panel and confirm that the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are set properly for your network. If the printer is set to configure its IP settings Automatically (default), this should be OK, but you should confirm anyway.

On your computer, from a Command Prompt window, type "ifconfig /all" (without quotes) and press enter. The printer's subnet mask and default gateway should be identical to those displayed on your computer. The first three octets of the printer's IP address should be identical to those of the IP address displayed on your computer.

From the front panel of the printer:

1. Press Setup.
2. Press until Network is highlighted, then press OK. The Network Menu appears.
3. Do one of the following:
– To display wired network settings, press 1, then press 2.
This selects Display Summary and then displays a summary of the wired
(Ethernet) network settings.
– To print the network configuration page, press 1, then press 1 again.
This selects View Network Settings and then prints the network
configuration page.

For more info on setting the printer's IP values, see your User Manual.
