Wifi Printer

Good tip, there were some tabs with advanced info, but which required a different password to that of the router. A call to their support got me the password and I got the IP address and entered it into the printer panel:

Good tip, I have found that as well, it was hidden under a misleading heading.

I haven’t got nmap, but probably could have installed it - not now needed.

bash-5.2$ ping 192.168.0.5

So pinging the printer appears to work. I can even look at settings on the printer by using 192.168.0.5 in a browser!

When I attempt to print, the printer settings panel shows “1 job” briefly, but…it doesn’t print. I have just checked printing by wire and that works, so it’s not a problem with the printer.

Thanks for your continued patience.
