I have this really frustrating problem of a printer/copier connect via ethernet cable to the network not being discoverable.
It's a very simple set up with the printer going directly into a modem/router, and my computer going directly into it as well.
As it happens, my old router (it had to go because internet was unreliable) had no problems:
When I clicked on "Search for new printer" (under Windows 7), the printer would come up immediately, working without problems. But now with the new router, it simply wouldn't show up. I also tried to add it by entering the IP address manually, but it comes up with a message saying that the printer cannot be found.
With my old router I never had to set up anything further, it would work just straight out of the box, and I can't see anything in the setup of the new router that I should change, but perhaps there is?
Contacted manufacturers, they said they can't comment on 3rd party equipment (presumably blaming the router).
Have I overlooked something?
