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.
you need to set the ip on the printer to within the ip range of your wireless router. Then you need to install a mac book pro driver for the canon i960 on the Mac Pro. THe mac pro should then automatically detect the printer and hook up to it
Hi Bonnie, Do you have the user manual that came with the printer ? If not you can download a copy bt searching the web, Search : canon pixma mg2120 user manual and you will be able to download a copy of the original factory manual.
If the printer has wireless capability built in , no cables are necessary. Install the printer driver in the mac as a wireless connection. Connecting a printer to the router is pointless, unless you want to install the printer as a network printer, which would disable wireless.
Sounds like when you added xp you inadvertently installed new print driver on server. Try rolling back driver. But may drop xp from printing.
Best solution network printer to router bypass server. Will require hard wire from printer to router. disconnect from server may need network card for printer.
