    Try to follow the below method to solve your issue:
    1. Power on your printer.
    2. Press "Set up" button, scrolls to "network connection" then "set up wizard"
    3. Search for your Network ID, and press "ok" to connect.
    4. After the connection is successful, go to your PC ->"All programs" -> "HP" ->"Officejet 4500 G510n-z" -> "Add a device"
    5. Follow the set-up instruction to finish. If you can not find this printer in the network search result, please use "Show advanced Search Options" and key in your printer's IP address there, then search again. To get the printer's IP address, press "Set up" -> "Wireless menu" -> "IP settings"-> "Manual", you will find it.
    6. After the printer setup, try again on printting.

    I tried those steps and it never shows my printer. I have the IP manually set on the printer, I can see it on the "Printers & Faxes" of the Control panel, but it never shows in the HP install Add Device.

    Any ideas?
