What do you mean by isn't detected? Do you mean the Cups add printer |
| 24 |
page doesn't show it? If so, are you sure it's actually on the |
| 25 |
network? Is it wired or wifi? Does your router show a page/list of |
| 26 |
connected devices? If it's present, try pointing a web browser at it's |
| 27 |
IP address to review it's internal configuration (just on principle, I |
| 28 |
can't suggests anything specific to look for.) If it's not connected |
| 29 |
to the network, might it have a fixed IP from an older configuration? |
| 30 |
I don't know if you can configure it's network settings over the USB |
| 31 |
connection - if not, it might take a factory reset for it to use DHCP. |
| 32 |
It might also have a network config report you can print by some |
| 33 |
combination of buttons on the control panel. |
