I have a very similar printer and this is my settings from CUPS: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Description: Lexmark C2325dw |
| 28 |
Location: Local Printer |
| 29 |
Driver: C2325dw - IPP Everywhere (color, 2-sided printing) |
| 30 |
Connection: ipp://192.168.0.102 |
| 31 |
|

If I recall correctly, the printer uses DHCP so I let it pick its first |
| 34 |
IP itself and then I think I set it to use that from then on. I have a |
| 35 |
cell phone that connects to and don't want them switching IPs on me. It |
| 36 |
uses IPP to communicate. If you want to access the printer directly, to |
| 37 |
see toner cartridge levels, adjust printer settings etc, just point a |
| 38 |
browser to the IP address. |
| 39 |

If you are connecting to a router, I'd access the router and see if the |
| 41 |
router is seeing the printer first thing. If you require passwords, you |
| 42 |
may need to enter the password on the printer panel, I did. Once you |
| 43 |
can access the printer in a web browser, you can adjust things easier. |

Does that help any? |
