I've installed LPR and CUPS, my MFC 7420 is connected via USB, and when I go to it says: Using it this way the IP of the printer MUST be in the DHCP assigned IP range. 200 then set the printer static IP to be under 100 or over 200 (last nodes).Īssigning a constant IP to a device/machine via the router is not a static IP but a 'fixed' IP that is assigned by DHCP. True static IPs do not and should NOT be in the DHCP assigned IP range as you risk having two things with the same IP show up. Or if your router is dishing out the range in the 10.1.10.200 to 10.1.10.255 then put the printer at 10.1.10.230 or something.Īnyhow this is something you can to on the printer itself, I would not change the router to static cause then you have to set all the machines IP addresses and they won't receive one automatically from the router, so it's simple for a couple machines, but if you have a larger network that gets real old real quick.Īnyhow if you disclose your model I may be able to clarify some more. In other words if the router is dishing out IP's in the lets say 192.168.0.1 thru 192.168.0.255 or so then make sure that the static IP of the printer is set to something like 192.168.0.105 or something ![]() ![]() You have to consult your printer documentation or poke around with the menu buttons on the printer, and set the IP address to a static IP address on the printer, And make sure it's within the IP address range of the DHCP range of the router.
