Answer» I just bought a HP 2600n Network-ready printer, and the very FIRST TIME I installed it, it was found on the LAN network in my office - 192.168.1.9.
But now, it simply cannot be found on the LAN network, though I can still 'find' it on Auto-IP - 169.254.151.29...
It is connected by LAN cable directly to the modem. When I try to tweak it manually, they still say they cannot find it.
Can anyone give me advice on how I can ENSURE it is BACK on my LAN network? Or is Auto-IP perfectly VIABLE?I do believe auto-IP is fine.
The printer I've setup at work is attached to a PC with auto-IP and things communicate with it just fine."Auto" IP is called DHCP.. What IPs do other computers have?Heer more information about this topic. It is from the Microsoft site. You would use an IP only if you know the LAN IPs are fixed, which is not the rule in Windows XP.
