Windows Forum / Windows XP / Networking and Web / September 2007Network Printer Problem
I have a HP Laserjet printer connected to my LAN network and was printing normally from my desktop. Recently, I added a Linksys Wireless G router to my LAN point and connected my desktop and my laptop to the new router. From that point onwards, I'm unable to print. The printer is added to my desktop and laptop but still cannot print. I did a ping test to the PC where the printer is connected and the test passed. What could be the problem? Please help. > I have a HP Laserjet printer connected to my LAN network and was printing > normally from my desktop.

Posting the results of ipconfig from one of the computers and the printer's IP address might help. For the computer, Start>Run>cmd [enter] ipconfig /all [enter] For printer, refer to its manual as to how to print the network settings.

The printer, desktop, laptop and router needs to be part of the same IP network and each should have the very same sub-net mask. You did not state how the network was configured before the router was installed. Here is a sample configuration that "usually" works: Router -- IP: 192.168.1.254 / 255.255.255.0 Printer -- 192.168.1.253 / 255.255.255.0 Router DHCP service: START: 192.168.1.10 END: 192.168.1.30 The above configuration "assumes" that you are using the router's standard settings, which usually activates DHCP service (assigns IP addresses to PCs that request an IP address.) Hi, My router IP addr :192.168.1.100 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 DHCP: 192.168.1.1 How do I tweak this settings to get the printer working? > > I have a HP Laserjet printer connected to my LAN network and was printing > > normally from my desktop.

You left out the printer's and computers' IP addresses. Really, if you want to continue to try and use newsgroups for tech support help you're going to need to read the information at the link below - which I have given you *numerous* times in response to your various posts. No one is going to take the time to try to pull the information out of you and very shortly no one will even bother reading your posts let alone answering them. It's up to *you* to provide the necessary details. http://www.dts-l.org/goodpost.htm As for me, I'll give you one more chance to come back with a proper post with all the information in it that I need to give you help. Otherwise I'm just going to killfile you. Malke SignatureElephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User Malke, I noticed that alot of people are using the newsgroup for tech support, I'm not the only one and I did not post this questions many times. I had a genuine problem and asked the experts here for advice. If you're not keen to help, just don't. > > Hi, > > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > Malke > Malke, > > I noticed that alot of people are using the newsgroup for tech support, I'm > not the only one and I did not post this questions many times. I had a > genuine problem and asked the experts here for advice. If you're not keen to > help, just don't. I was referring to the other posts you have made about other issues. Yes, lots of people use the Microsoft newsgroups for tech support and lots of us help them quite successfully. As you have been told, unless you provide enough information about your system and the problems no one can help *you*. And yes, you are correct that I am not keen to help someone who is obviously incapable and/or unwilling to exert himself enough to provide the information necessary to get that help. So yes, I will killfile you. *plonk* Malke SignatureElephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User Malke, There are others here who can understand my questions and answer me but only you got a problem. > > Malke, > > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > Malke > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >> standard settings, which usually activates DHCP service (assigns IP >> addresses to PCs that request an IP address.) To add to what Malke said, the limited information that you did provide appears to be incorrect. It is highly unlikely that your router has a different IP address than your DHCP server. More likely, the IP address of 192.168.1.100 is assigned to the computer on which you ran the ipconfig command. We can't help you unless you provide complete and accurate information.
