My book keeper is coming tomorrow and I can't get my Ricoh printer to work ever since I changed my router from my old DLINK to the Linksys WRT54Gv4 with latest firmware.
According to Linsys, there's no configuration needed and yet I cannot ping my printer in dos. I made no changes to my computer setup protocols at all, only changed the router.
1) In the Add Printer Wizard Click on the Next button.
2) In the Local or Network Printer->Select "Local Printer attached to this computer." and remove the checkmark from "Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer." Click on the Next button.
3) In the Select a Printer Port, Click on the "Create a new port:" and Select "Standard TCP/IP Port" from the list. Click on the Next button.
4) The Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard will appear. Click on the Next button.
5) In the "Printer Name or IP Address" box put in the LAN IP Address of the Gnet gateway: default is: 192.168.123.254. In the "Port Name" box put in a Name for your printer: "Ricoh laser".
6) In the "Additional Port Information Required" window, choose "Custom" and Click on the "Settings" button.
6) In the Port Settings Window, for the Protocol setting, Choose "LPR", for the LPR Settings, put lp (lowercase "L" and lowercase "P") in the "Queue Name" and put a Check mark in the "LPR Byte Counting Enabled" box.
8) Ignore the "SNMP Status..." settings and Click on the "OK" button, which will take you back to the Additional Port Information Required page. Click on the Next button.
9) On the "Completing the Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port Wizard" Click on the Finish button.
10) In the Install Printer Software screen choose the Manufacturer of your printer and the model of your printer from the lists and Click on the Next button.
11) In the Printer Name box, if Windows XP has not put a default name in the box, put in a name that matches the make and model of your printer. Click on the Next button.
12) The next screen is the "Do you want to print a test page", "yes" is already selected so just Click on the Next button.
13) On the "Completing the Add Printer Wizard" page, click on the Finish button.
When I ping the printer IP in cmd, the requests times out for the IP of the printer. Not only that it changes the pinged IP in prompt to IP_192.168.123.140?
