Network printers do not have a set IP address, you need to configure the printer with an IP address that uses the same range of IP addresses as your network. The IP configuration is normally done through the printer's Menu on the printer's buttons. If your are using a network IP range 192.168.0.*** that your wireless router issues automatically then select a fixed IP address on your printer above the number of computers that is installed on your network. (ie if you have 10 computers the make the printer's fixed IP address say 192.168.0.30) so the wireless router cannot issue a conflicting IP address. When you install the printer driver on each computer then go to the Printer Properties - Port tab - click Add Port - IP port and enter the printer's fixed IP address and printer name. Do a test print to check if your computer connects to the network printer.
On the control panel, navigate to the Configuration menu and within it, to the EIO menu. Navigate to CFG NETWORK and select YES. Navigate to TCP/IP and select ON. Navigate to CFG TCP/IP and select YES. Navigate to BOOTP and select NO. Navigate to DHCP and if you want automatic IP addressing, select YES. If you select NO for DHCP, you will be able to manually set the TCP/IP parameters, including IP address, subnet mask and default gateway.
ok... turn dhcp on on the cannon... then turn it off and on... the cannon should pull the right settings... then turn dhcp off... and change the ip to the one you selected... all should be well after that... if it isn't... then you need to find the IP range of your router and get an IP address below it or above it.... say your IP address range is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.255 then you want an IP address below 192.168.1.100
Each IP-address on a network (private in your home, or public on the Internet) must be unique; hence "IP conflict" when two devices (computers or printers or iPod Touch) try to "claim" the same IP-address.
If you have configured a "static" IP-address into the printer, change it to an IP-address that is *NOT* used on your network.
Or, find the computer on your network that is using the same IP-address as your printer, and change its IP-address and reboot it.
In order to connect, your computer and your computer *MUST* have *DIFFERENT* IP-addresses.
Changing Printer's IP Address isn't that complicated. There are two ways on how to change the printer's IP Address.
If you know the old printer's IP address, you can simply type that old IP address on the Address Bar of your Internet Explorer or any other browser (ex: http://192.168.1.101). It should redirect you to the printer's User Interface. From there you can go to Network then TCP/IP settings. You can change the IP address of the printer. Make sure to use an IP address within the same range of your network.
The other way to change the printer's IP address is by its own Menu/Settings on the printer's LCD panel. On your printer, press Menu then got Settings. Look for Network or LAN settings and click on Advance. Select TCP/IP and click on Edit. You can now change the IP address of the printer from there. Click on Done or Save after that.
Note: Make sure the use the correct IP address within the network's range.
I had a similar problem, and it was due to the IP address not being properly set during installation. (Note, I installed it as a network printer. If you installed it as a USB printer, this won't work) Try this:
Select Start->Printers & Faxes, a window comes up, hopefully your Brother printer is one of the printers.
Right-click on the printer icon and select properties
Select the "Port" tab in the window that comes up
One of the entries should say "Standard TCP/IP Port". Click on that entry and click the "Configure Port..." button, a window will come up.
In the "Printer name or IP address" field, you may have a name here instead of an IP address. (Mine was "BRN008077E21669") Change this to the IP address for your printer. You can get this by navigating the menu on the printer (Under LAN->TCP/IP). I changed mine to 192.168.1.80, since that's the address I configured my printer for.
Hit OK and Apply in the open windows and hopefully you wil be in business. Good Luck!
