Re: IP address Changes on my Network Printer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

How do I find out if the printer has a hostname. I printed a test page and
it shows the port name, driver, etc.

Print directly to the printer did not always work.

print a configuration page for the network settings

if there is a hostname , ping the name. If that works create a port using
the hostname. As long as this data gets automatically updated in a routing
table you will be set.

I have a networked printer, ethernet to an access point, that drops
occasionally when the network goes down. When the network comes up, the
IP
address has changed and I cannot print to it until I reinstall the printer
software that picks up the new IP address. Example in printers folder -
Canon IRC2880 - under the properties tab and under the ports tab -
192.168.1.103 the network goes down upon a restart the address that the
software picks up is IRC2880 - 192.168.1.119. Can I stop this problem
from
happening? I would appreciate any help tremendously.
