Why can support see my router but not fix my printer app?

ISP telemetry covers the access network and Wi‑Fi connection; the printer’s driver, cloud account and app belong to the device maker. Support can isolate the layer and hand off evidence.

What to check

Network reachability vs application/driver.

When to get help from a person

Device vendor after network layer passes.
