The installation is request for IP Address or Hostname. Please how can i get it

Enter in SP mode and print the ALL SMC report .In this report find the IP adress.Enter in your PC printer device the IP adress.

Any queries regarding Ip-details, please log in to, http://www.ip-details.com/ which gives you the latest information and a accurate solution for your search.

Its like router on stick configuration??enter the interface which you have to configure and in that interface as mentioned below
Hostname(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1
Hostname(config-if)#no ip address
Hostname(config-if)#no shutdown
Hostname(config)#interface FastEthernet0/1.1
Hostname(config-if)#encapsulation dot1Q 1 native
Hostname(config-if)#ip address x.x.y.y < subnet mask >
interface FastEthernet0/1.2
Hostname(config-if)#encapsulation dot1Q 2
Hostname(config-if)#ip address x.x.y.y < subnet mask >

This may happen because it cannot find the hostname of your device. Do the following:

1. Make sure your device is configured to use a Static IP address
2. Type in the IP address (instead of hostname) in the test page

This should fix your problem

take the printer server host name and goto start run and put the \\hostname it will open the all shared items and right click on the printer and select connect it will install the printer............... or else you have to give a spacified IP address to the printer server.............

DNs (Domain Name System)
DNS is used for resolving mapping between IP addreses and host names.
Means when you quary for yahoo.com computer only recognize bits and bytes format so but dnd resolves this isssue when it got yahoo.com quary it send request to ip addreses of yahoo.com.
If you change dns ip to that then all quary goes to tht dnd server if it has info for your quary then it forwards to there other wise you get page not found.

• The printer must be connected to the network.
• The IP Address of the printer is required, and the HTTP option must be enabled on the printer. If you do not know the IP Address, or whether HTTP is enabled, print a Configuration Report. See the Related Items below for additional information. If you do not have this information or the printer is not configured correctly, contact your System Administrator for assistance.
• A user account for the scanner to login to the scan server must be created (account needs full control access rights). The user needs to be a local user on the workstation and not a domain user.
  
  NOTE: SMB uses local rights and not domain rights. Record the username and password for future use.
  
  
• A directory to be used as a repository for the scanned files must be created. The directory must then be shared.
• The Hostname of the workstation must be known.
• CentreWare 5.5x must be installed on a Microsoft Windows server or workstation on the network.

Just to verify, you are trying to connect from a computer external to your network to a computer on your internal network, right?

The error you mention is thrown if the name in the remote asstiance file cannot be resolved by DNS. Open the remote assistance file you generate in a text editor like notepad and then look for the value next to "RCTICKET=". This is name name & IP of the computer requesting remote assistance. If you're trying to connect from an external computer, make sure of the following:

1. On your router, forward TCP 3389 to whatever IP you're trying to access
2. That the hostname listed is able to resolved externally (it needs to have a fully qualified domain name list somehost.somedomain.com not just somehost'
3. The IP address is not a private (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) address but a publicly accessible IP address.
