If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver.

In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing .x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.įor example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100.

Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
