OR is the printer connecting directly with no router (bluetooth) |

| 1277507 | 2012-05-26 11:31:00 | SOLVED: after i added a new IP( the one i mentioned above) i opened a word document, clicked to print, the network repair tool, repaired the IP, printed a test page to confirm rebooted laptop, and now it shows it as connected all i need now is a new black ink cartridge :D thanks to everyone who pitched in with help on this one. the mystery remains as to how the printer IP turned to custard??? |

Join the club :waughh: The laser printer I have in the workshop does that every so often, it decides to change its IP (Ethernet), it's quite old, so maybe its getting well past its use by date :D It sometimes shows as being off line, so I remove it, and tell windows to install a network printer (again) it then picks up right away,different IP and is fine till next time. |

| 1277509 | 2012-05-26 12:02:00 | I'm guessing it's IP lease expired and it failed to connect to the wireless DHCP and get reassigned. It was most likely as DCHP or connection issue with the wireless part. |
