Interestingly, like you, the printer was called HP Printer on my app but called something obscure on the router when logged into it through 10.0.0.1 2) I changed the printer to a static address once again (even though the Rogers tech guy said that I had to leave my printer to automatic due to security concerns - side note-would people really be able to hack through my home network through the Printer’s IP?) I am not a computer tech person but know some basics and agree with you that the regular person would never be able to figure this stuff out. This enables the printer to “talk” to the new network and this allowed me to “see” the printer on the list of connected devices from my phone app.

The nugget of information I learned from Rogers though was two things - 1) I had to change the printer from manual tcp/ip to automatic on the printer (through the buttons on the printer). I called Rogers Ignite tech and they advised me I would have to call HP to solve my problem. After Ignite, I didn’t realize that the static IP address that I assigned it had to be changed. My HP 3052 is not a wireless printer so I had it connected via Ethernet to my modem before I went to Ignite. I too had the same issue and believe I solved it the same way you did. Hi - thanks for taking the time to post this topic.
It so sad that I, who is some what competent in computers but far from being an IT Geek by any stretch of the imagination, had to educate myself and fumble through the dark until I found the solution when Rogers with their massive amount of financial resources don't have IT Gurus/Geeks/Experts on the payroll to handle these problems for the customers who are paying good money for inferior service. I went to the printer web page (via having a usb cable plugged in), changed the IP address configuration from automatic IP to a manual IP address, entered the new IP address (which was I had chosen one at the top end of the range), applied the changes, I then logged into the router web page, clicked view connected devices, found my printer name (had a different name than my actual printer) then clicked edit, then changed the configuration from DHCP to reserve IP, entered the printer's new IP address, saved the changes and was back in business. Success, finally got it figured out! I applied the previous fix for the previous model of modem/router of using a manual IP address but had to take a different route with the new Ignite modem/router. If anyone has a similar problem with their printer they can feel try this solution for themselves. The router/modem would see it but would fail to communicate with it to get it out of the power off mode and on. I believe that this router/modem lacks the ability to remotely wake the printer from powered off mode (other modems were able to accomplish this but not this one). Since then, I have had no issues, as I have done multiple printer jobs with success.
I left the sleep setting at the factory preset but the power off feature I selected never (I figured sleeping the printer was good enough for me). I found this out by chance with trying other solutions but the solition I discovered was after I did a hard reset of the printer, and looking at the options page that allowed you to sellect how much time before the printer went to sleep and when it would power off the printer (factory set to power off after 4 hours). Success!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely success now as I waited 1 week to post this but the problem is solved as I just completed another print job successfuly.
