| 1372559 | 2014-04-12 07:05:00 | Anyone here familiar with the above printer setup? It is connected to my router through Cat5e ethernet cable but it just doesn't show up in the router. When I run the driver setup, it couldn't detect this printer. What I have done: I have replaced a known-to-be good ethernet cable without joy. Restarted the printer and PC many times produces no positive results. This friend of mine bought this printer second hand with no driver software. I downloaded the driver from Canon site. Any suggestions as how to get this beast to work? I was working fine before I reinstalled the OS to his computer (this computer also bought second hand with pirated OS) because he bought a genuine copy of Win7. Please advise. Thanks. |

| 1372561 | 2014-04-13 00:27:00 | But the PC has got only one Ethernet port, if it's connected to the case, the PC won't be able to connect to the router for Internet access. | bk T (215) | ||
| 1372562 | 2014-04-13 00:40:00 | Well connect it to the ethernet port on the case to set it up, then connect it to the port on the router. See if it still picks it up | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1372563 | 2014-04-13 23:23:00 | Unless you have a static IP on the PC, disconnecting the PC from the router might make things even harder to get going. Try setting a static IP on the printer , on the same subnet as your PC. eg if you PC has an IP of x.x.x.10, then set the printer to x.x.x.199 Setting the static IP on the printer will be the hard part, trying to navigate the menus IPCONFIG will give the PC's IP adress Then ping the printer from the PC run - cmd - ping x.x.x.199 stick x.x.x.199 into Internet explorer & it should give the printers status page Run the setup again, there will be an option to state the printers IP adress that you just set up If this is a leased printer, they should have set all this up on delivery. Ring cannon & complain, they might send someone around to do this for you, sometimes free of charge. |

| 1372564 | 2014-04-14 01:17:00 | The printer's ip address is set (from the menu) to 192.168.1.102 -- same subnet as the PC IPCONFIG does not show the printer's address, all other PCs showed; couldn't ping the printer.; IE couldn't reach the printer either. I've changed another cable but no joy. As mentioned earlier above, this printer was bought second hand, so no support. |

| 1372565 | 2014-04-14 02:54:00 | With the current low cost of printers I do not think it is practical to persist with it for much longer. You have downloaded and read the setup manual for the printer? Can you set the printers ip as already suggested but on the printer itself rather than from the PC (you can on my HP one). You have set the network on the PC to allow the discovery of networked devices? If so you should be able to ping it with it connected directly to the PC. | CliveM (6007) | ||

This is where it gets tricky to track down the issue. some suggestions : Do you have a laptop or another pc you can try Try another STATIC IP adress on the printer , there may be a conflict Try another router , replace ALL the cables Put a static IP on the PC & then connect direct to the printer & see if you can then ping or access it via IE. Does it have a old style printer port or USB port you could use ? Try another Network card on the PC, or new network drivers Disable Power save on the Network card, via device manager. Uninstall any 3rd party Firewall software on the PC (Uninstall, NOT just disable) |

Have you seen the printer ? the Canon ir6000i is not a desktop printer, they cost quite a bit being a full office printer in the 3-8K + range easily. | wainuitech (129) | ||
