section) or the in the embedded web server (IP address entry in the
TCP/IP section under the Networking tab).
There are two ways you can solve the problem of a changing IP address:
●
Re-install the network printer.
Find the print server's new IP
address (from the configuration page you just printed, or by using
the embedded web server). Then run
the installer
again, specify
that you want to search for your printer by address (in one of the
first few dialog boxes), and enter the new IP address. Then follow
the instructions on the rest of the screens to complete the
installation.
Note that this may be a short-term solution; you will have to
repeat it if the IP address changes again.
●
Configure the print server
with a static IP address.
(You should
consult with your network administrator before you do this, and
notify other printer users of any changes you make.) Use the
embedded web server
to change the IP Configuration Method to
Manual, and then specify a new, static IP address. Your network
administrator will be able to provide a suitable IP address. Once
you have set the new IP address, re-install the network printer, as
described in the preceding paragraphs.
Computer stops connecting to network (possible DHCP
problem)
A DHCP problem with the print server could cause a computer to be
unable to connect to the network. If a small local network connects to the
Internet using DHCP-supplied IP address, and the number of IP
addresses allocated for the local network is small, there are some
circumstances in which a print server can "steal" the last DHCP-supplied
IP address, and leave a computer with no address for connecting to the
network. To make sure that this will not happen with your print server,
you can configure the print server with a static IP address, as described in
the last paragraph of the preceding section. (If this doesn't solve your
computer's connection problem -- there are several possible causes -- at
least it assures that the print server is not causing it.)
