My epson laser printer is connected to a spare port on my netgear
router.
The laser is there as the local ip address comes up when I checkout
the router. I can ping that local ip address and its Ok.
I can also go into the printers setup, and everything is OK.
But when I try to 'add a printer' on my XP computer it just does not
find it. Also I try to find local network printer in 'my network
places' its not there.
Any ideas please.
Roughly (I'm doing this from memory, so I may have not have the precise verbiage):
1) Start > Printers and Faxes > Add Printer.
2) Select Local Printer, but de-select "Detect plug and play...."
3) Add a new local Port, selecting standard TCP/IP for the port type.
4) Enter the printer's IP address for the port address.
5) Point the Wizard to the location of the drivers disk when prompted.
6) Repeat for each computer on the LAN.
