<br>Along the lines of this thread:<br><br>If you are using DHCP on your network. When installing a networked printer it is a good idea to assign the printer a static IP address. Your printer will then always be at the same location even after you turn it off and on, DHCP will not assign it a new address (it owns it's address instead of just leasing).You can do this on either a router or a gateway, in the device's firmware. Open up your browser and navigate to the device (router of gateway). Typing the<br>
device IP will take you to the device (firmware) so you can assign the printer a static IP.<br><br>Ken<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 1:46 PM, Ruben Safir <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ruben@mrbrklyn.com">ruben@mrbrklyn.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
