| 338333 | 2005-03-27 01:08:00 | Yes I know, this has been asked before, but please just bear with me. Two comps both XP Home, Epson Printer. On router, networked & otherwise apparently OK. Epson disc loaded into both comps, Sharing & default printer. Metla comp on LPT1 & Sigma comp on USB001. Printer works on Sigma But not on Metla. Any ideas as to why not ?? Thanks PJ :badpc: :badpc: |

If the answer is no, then it is entirely possible that the printer does not support networking, there are quite a few that do not. In truth I cannot remember. However the Epson is connected to the Sigma & will print. Thro the Metla it will not, at the moment. It has printed thro the Metla in the past, but how I don't know. PJ |

| 338336 | 2005-03-27 01:59:00 | Gee it would help to know the model - oh wait! "Clairvoyance mode" suggests it may be an RX-510 ? If so, its a multi-function (scanner printer) and these rarely allow networking. Unless the function is built in, then it would be clearly mentioned (as it is in most Brother MFC's that are networkable) in the manual. While the printer function is usually networkable on many printers, the scanner etc is not easily networkable, so many Multi Function manufacturers take the easier path and simply disallow all functions to network, only to operate on the local PC. |

Sarky begger If so, its a multi-function (scanner printer) and these rarely allow networking. Unless the function is built in, then it would be clearly mentioned (as it is in most Brother MFC's that are networkable) in the manual. Will try to find out While the printer function is usually networkable on many printers, the scanner etc is not easily networkable, so many Multi Function manufacturers take the easier path and simply disallow all functions to network, only to operate on the local PC. I guess this is the answer. If so I had better move the USB plug for the Epson RX510 over to the Metla (Maryann's) comp as it is she who wants to use it. Thanks anyway PJ |
