I am trying to put this printer on a network.

I have put the Ethernet cord into the back of it and then plugged it into the router. None of the computers can see it on the network. What am I doing wrong?

SOURCE: Can't rip to 3200

There are many reasons this could be occurring, first I would try pinging the copier to make sure you have connectivity

Go to run command type cmd then in command prompt type
ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx replace x's with copier IP address.

If you get 4 replys then the copier is online and responding most likely the IP address in the print driver is wrong and needs to be changed.

Ck IP address of print driver by right clicking printer go to properties the select ports tab. Find port and check address if it si incorrect then change to correct and hopefully it will correct your issue.

I can give more help if this does not correct your issue.

SOURCE: Our small office (5 computers)

There are 2 drivers that I need to configure:
ir-PSv 1.81 MAC OS X.hqx
PPD. v 2.55.zip

To use the Canon PS v1.81 driver, you first of all need to run the included PS installer, so that the files get copied to the Mac. At the end of the installation you will be prompted to restart. You must do this for the installation to complete correctly.

After restarting, you are ready to add the printer. Now, the PS driver does not support AppleTalk, so you will not be able to browse to the printer. You will have to know the IP address of the iRC3220 to add the printer queue. Once you have the IP address, you select to Add and then select More Printers. From the top menu select Canon IP (PS). This will present a dialog for entering the IP address of the iRC3220 and a queue name, which is usually LP. Click Add and the software will then select the appropriate PPD so that when the printer is displayed in the Printers list, the Kind section will show Canon iRC3220.

Note that with the PS driver installed, you do not require the PPD's as well. But if you did want to use them, which would be the case if you wanted to use AppleTalk, then you should find them located under Canon when you browse. Note that like the PS driver, you do have to run the installer included with the PPDs in order for the files to be copied to the Mac.

The last thing to mention is that the iRC3220 also has an external print controller option called an imagePASS-C1 or C2. This is a white metal box that hangs on the back of the copier. If you do have an imagePASS connected to the copier, then the two drivers you have downloaded are not suitable for this print controller. You will need to download the drivers for whichever model of imagePASS you have.

Hope this helps. (quoted from some forum)

SOURCE: Instead of using a usb

You could purchase a ethernet print server which will allow you to connect your printer to the router via ethernet cable. I recommend the TPLink TL-PS110U. I use this for one of the printers in my office.

Alternatively, you could purchase the TPLink
TL-WPS510U. This is a wireless print server. It will give you some freedom if you wish to locate your printer to somewhere other than beside your router.

I need to lock my router from others using my wifi

    • 1 Disconnect the power cord from your high-speed modem. Locate the Ethernet port on the back of your modem. If an Ethernet cable is already plugged in, trace the cable to the second device and unplug the cable from it; otherwise, plug one end of an Ethernet cable to the open Ethernet port on your modem.
    • 2 Plug the unused end of the Ethernet cable to the port on the back of the router labeled "modem." Plug a second Ethernet cable into one of the open ports located above the "modem" port; connect this cable to the Ethernet port on your computer.
    • 3 Reconnect the power cord to your modem; wait for the lights on the front panel to turn green before proceeding. Plug one end of the router's power cord into the corresponding port on the back of the device; plug the remaining end into any available electrical outlet.
    • 4 Turn on your computer and log into your operating system as normal. Insert the installation CD into the computer; the installation application should load automatically (if it doesn't, you can find the application by manually browsing the CD's contents).
    • 5 Follow the onscreen instructions; after you have made the initial configurations, click on the option labeled "Security Assistant" on the left side of the installer window. Select the desired security type for your wireless network and click on the button labeled "Next."
    • 6 Choose a network key and enter it into the appropriate field; press "Next" and follow the onscreen instructions.
    • 7 Open your computer's wireless network settings and enter the wireless network name, security type and network key into the appropriate fields. Save your changes. Set-up is now complete.
Tips & Warnings
  • You can access additional settings via the modem's manual configuration interface. Open your web browser and navigate to 192.168.2.1; when prompted for a password, leave the field blank, and click on the button labeled "Submit."For optimal signal strength, choose a location for your router that will be near your computer, with as few walls and other obstacles as possible.

I need to know where to plug the big yellow phone cord. One end goes in the top plug in the back of the router and where does the other end go? In the back of the motorola motem? What else is supposed to...

Hello,
The cord you are referring to is a CAT5 network cable. The color isn't important, but they usually ship the routers with color cords to help with the installation. Typically you would have the following setup:

1. A CAT5 network cable that runs from your broadband modem TO your Belkin Wireless Router in the "Internet" port. (Port "a" in the diagram)
2. Now plug another CAT5 network cable in to the back of your computer's Network Interface Cord TO one of the remaining ports on your Belkin Wireless (Any of the port "b" in the diagram).

However, you will need to run the configuration software that come with your router.

Please let me know if I can further assist you.

Regards,
KYTechnology

How do i connect a netgear wireless router to comcast modem

Unplug your Comcast modem from your electrical outlet. Connect the Ethernet cord from the back of your Comcast modem into the Ethernet port labeled "Internet" on your new router. Connect an available Ethernet port from the back of the new router to the Ethernet port on the back of your computer.


Plug your cable modem into an electrical outlet. Plug your new router in an electrical outlet.


Reboot your computer. Click on "Start," then "Control panel." Click "Network and sharing." Select "Set up a new home network."

Click on the option for a router or cable modem when prompted by Windows to select your hardware. Your computer will attempt to access your new router. When the brand name for your router is listed, double-click it so your computer can configure itself to the new router.


Create a new name for your home network and create a unique password to prevent unauthorized users on your network. Your computer may reset your Comcast modem and router so your new changes can take effect.

Why does my computer say LAN is not connected but my ethernet cable is plugged in?

1. You possibly have lost the IP address from the ISP to your router and you will need to release/ renew the IP or you have a damaged Ethernet cord ( rare) but none the less could be damaged.
2. unplug the Ethernet cord from the connection at the wall for a few seconds and then plug it back in the wall connector.
Then try your connection. Call your ISP ( internet service Provider) and check the line to see if you have proper signal to the router.

Further instructions:
1.Log into router
2. Verify wireless router name( on the computer) >>> ( on/off)
3.Note router name you are connecting to.
4.. Check the laptop do ipconfig /all to see current IP addresses.
5. Set the laptop/desktop up in the router by WEP KEY or MAC address.
6.Note router name you are connecting to.
7. Move the laptop about 20ft away and try to log on to the internet.
This is for all routers to set up wirelessly.

Cant config my router have put ip in still nothing

You must initially use an Ethernet connection to the router in order to configure it. If you are trying to do it wirelessly, it will fail.
Plug an Ethernet cable into the router and your PC. Reboot the router or unplug the power cord for a few seconds. Then follow the configuration instructions that came with the router.

Your using an Ethernet cable and your not on a network. You most likely need a USB cable, or connect the computer and printer together with a router. How are you accessing the internet from home?
