D Link DP301U not working with a Canon MXF series printer

Since the Canon MG2120 only has a USB port, it doesn't have an IP address. The specifications are available here: https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/printers/support-inkjet-printer/mg-series/pixma-mg2120?tab=technicalspecifications.

If you have a router with a USB port that is working as a print server, check the router administration page (usually 192.168.1.1) for a network map. There should be an option to look up the specifics of the devices, including the IP address. Note: you may need to install software from the router manufacturer to enable this print server function. On my router, I found a link to this software on the router page in the section for setting up the USB devices. When I had a printer connected to the router, I had to connect the printer to each computer via the USB cable in order for the drivers to load. Then the software could identify the printer during the setup when the printer was connected to the router.

If you are trying to use one computer with a USB connection to the MG2120 as the print server, you'll need to enable device sharing. Then let the other computers find that system. The address of the printer will end up similar to a folder of the directly connected computer (print server). Note: I know how to do this with Windows OS machines. I'm not sure if it works with iOS and Android devices.

I hope this helps.

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.

One of the main difference between this tow printer is the DPR1020 is made to work with all printer including those multi function printers , because this old DP301U was a older version of print server that don't support those new multi function printers features like scanning and fax. So if you have a multi function printer I will advice you to get the DPR1020 so all features of that printer will work behind this print server.

Per the information found here, it is not a wireless printer.
If you purchase a wireless print server (similar to a wireless router), you can connect just about any USB printer to it (which would be practically the same as having a wireless printer).
Some wireless print servers that support USB have a maximum of 2 USB ports and 4 or 5 network ports.
The only problem is the additional effort it takes to configure everything to work properly.
Good Luck!

1500 (USB 2.0)

2200

Try changing the driver for your HP LJP3005 on your XP machine. Use it with the HP LJ Series II driver.
