Identify Printer
To set up network printing,
you must first identify a printer on the network that you want to print to.
This screen allows you to select one of the following methods to search for
printers:
- Search from a list of detected printers. You can select from a list of
available printers detected on the local network. When you click Next,
the utility searches for network printers and displays them in a list. You
can then select the desired printer from the list.
- Specify a printer by address. You can find a specific
printer by its address. When you click Next, you are prompted to
identify the printer by either its LAN hardware address, IP address
or IP hostname.
- Enter settings for a printer not on the network.
You can specify a printer,
which is not set up on the network, by using its address. When you click Next,
you will be prompted to enter the hardware address (MAC) or static IP
address of the printer. This option is recommended only if you do not have
the physical printer with you, or if the printer is not on the network but
will be set up in future.
The
printer’s configuration page can be used to obtain information needed to
identify the printer. To printer a configuration page from the printer control
panel, press and hold down the Cancel button for four seconds.
