Can't print to Dell 2330dn
I have a Dell 2330dn which is connected directly to my home network. It
has been working fine but I have just moved to fibre broadband, necessitating a new modem and router, and now non of my computers can print to it. The new router has the same address range as the old one and I have tried powering off the printer and on again with no success. Help please -- Stuart Winsor Only plain text for emails http://www.asciiribbon.org |

Maybe a security setting in the new router blocking whatever protocol is used to find the printer. I assume you are using Windows. A long shot, but you might try re-installing the printer software. Or maybe the printer software has a configuration page that allows it to hunt for the printer again. |

XP on this machine but the W7 machine can't print either A long shot, but you might try re-installing the printer software. Or maybe the printer software has a configuration page that allows it to hunt for the printer again. Tried that yesterday. The installer checks and comes back with the printer type and installs the driver but test print fails. It just ends up sitting in the print queue. After spending most of yesterday tearing my hair out and somehow screwing up windows completely, requiring a full re-install, I gave up. It is now connected to this machine vis USB and it is then shared to other computers. It's a PITA because it means I have to ensure this computer is on all the time. I could have a look at the router but I don't understand the significance of half the stuff. I just ran the quick setup program, typed in the necessary user name and passwords, accepted the defaults (they usually work ok) and that was that. -- Stuart Winsor Only plain text for emails http://www.asciiribbon.org |
