Wow, THAT needs fixed!
I have 2 computers that are connected correctly to the printer, and I used to have my phone connected.
Then, I made the well, mistake (except it was mandatory!), of downloading the new version of the phone app. It logged me out!!! (SERIOUSLY??)
Well, no problem, I logged back in… Now, both my Mac and Windows Computers are still connected to the printer, but my phone is not.
No, problem, I’m on the same WiFi network, I’ll just add the printer back - even though, (duh) it is already connected to that account, so logging in SHOULD just connect it…
Nope… It can’t see it, I’m currently guessing because it says that I have to connect over 2.4 Ghz WiFi - however, the access point I have automatically does both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz, and the phone auto-selects the best one, which is 5 Ghz I expect - I have NO control over this, both devices do this by themselves. And if that is really the issue, than there is Fix #1, get with the 2020’s and support 5Ghz (2016?)
Ok, so, it deleted it and it won’t let me add it back… About made me want to smash it with a sledgehammer, but what it has instead is made the app garbage to me…
You say, No problem, just logout of the printer (which is currently printing a 6 hour print job that I want to monitor on both the phone and the 2 computers… I’m sure that won’t cause any problems… Right? Yeah, OK, so your suggestion is to not monitor this job on the phone, logout during the next one, and then hope that the two computers don’t get disconnected… I use them WAY more to connect to the printer than I do with the phone, so if I’m going to have something screwed up, it won’t be those… so hard pass on that…
Deleting the app instead… Ok, well, I’ll try the Bluetooth idea before I delete the app…
