Re: Network Printing


Sorry for the delay. The reported readings were as follows:
Computer IP 192.168.1.103, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway
192.168.1.1.
For the printer, IP 169.254.90.241, subnet mask 255.255.0.0, Default
Gateway 0.0.0.0. Printer IP Settings set on auto.
I changed the printer settings as follows: IP192.168.1.102, subnet mask
255.255.255.0, Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
I deleted the printer fronm the computer , removed the printer port, added
new printer port with correct IP and tried adding new printer wizard with no
luck. I keep getting the message that setup is unable to locate the printer
on the network. I tried manually entering the IP , Hostname, and MAC address
still with no luck. My router network map no longer shows the printer as a
device on the network.
I am using Bitdefender Antivirus and Firewall. The firewall lists no
blocked traffic.
I have two computers on my home network which both share my internet
connection through a broadband modem connected through the network. The HP
3210 All In One has always been connected to my desktop computer by a USB
connection . My notebook computer has always connected to the printer through
a network connection so I do not have to have the desktop computer on to use
the printer with the notebook computer. Since this incident I have set up
printer sharing on my destop computer so I am able to print with the
notebook computer but this requires that I keep the desktop computer on as
well as the printer when I want to print.
It seems there is no communication between the printer and the network.
If I enter the printers IP into my web browser I should be able to open
the Embedded Web Server within the printer but I can no longer do this either.

possibly an on-board diagnostic on this printer that may isolate this problem?

It seems this started after install of SP3. I am able to print through a USB
connection, so I am assuming the printer is working correctly. I am unable to
open the Embedded Web Server within the printer to check network status.

What are you experiencing? I only have one PC with XP on it (and SP3) but
it can print just fine.

Has anyone run into network printing problems after installing Service
Pack 3?
Check to see if the settings on whatever firewall you have installed on
your computer were reset. You need to permit local network traffic.

If that's not the issue, print a configuration page from the printer's
front panel and confirm that the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default
Gateway are set properly for your network. If the printer is set to
configure its IP settings Automatically (default), this should be OK,
but you should confirm anyway.

On your computer, from a Command Prompt window, type "ifconfig /all"
(without quotes) and press enter. The printer's subnet mask and default
gateway should be identical to those displayed on your computer. The
first three octets of the printer's IP address should be identical to
those of the IP address displayed on your computer.

From the front panel of the printer:

1. Press Setup.
2. Press until Network is highlighted, then press OK. The Network Menu
appears.
3. Do one of the following:
– To display wired network settings, press 1, then press 2.
This selects Display Summary and then displays a summary of the wired
(Ethernet) network settings.
– To print the network configuration page, press 1, then press 1 again.
This selects View Network Settings and then prints the network
configuration page.

For more info on setting the printer's IP values, see your User Manual.

What was reported for the IP address, subnet mask, and Default Gateway

-- of the printer?
-- of your computer?

What firewall do you have installed?
What antivirus software do you have installed?

Do you have more than one computer networked? If so, can you share
files between them?
