I'll try to keep this relatively simple. I have a small office running on NT 4.0 server w/ 8 workstations running either win 98 se or win 2000. There was also a Royal copier/printer running as a stand alone print device on the network. All the cat 5 cabling ran back to the server room and connected up to a 3com hub w/ one line from the hub to the nic on the server. Everthing had a static IP address based on 150.150.*.*, subnet 255.255.*.* All ran fine & this was the setup pre-DSL. Now enter DSL setup.
We just got dsl at the office. I bought a 4 port SMC barricade dsl router to introduce into the setup. The line from the dsl modem now goes to the wan port on the router, and one cable goes from one port of the router into the hub. I set up the router for DHCP & it is configured with 192.168 addressing. I then had to go to each workstation & disable the IP's they had & anyway they all connect & everyone has internet connection (Amen!!!) Anyway, what I forgot about was the Royal copier/printer. It still had 150.150 addressing, static IP and no one can print to it!!! I went from hero to goat quickly.
I got into the administration setting for the Royal & changed the IP to 192.168 addressing within the range of available IP's from the router. Still cannot print to it! Can see it, can ping it, cannot print to it! It may be important to know it had previously been set up using some software (I wasn't involved) called lp-ip??? and may have been assigned "port 10000" by that program. I printed out a test page which shows the corrected IP (192.168)and subnet etc. & it shows that "port 10000" under tcp/ip connection info, which I can't seem to get rid of & frankly I don't know if its even important.
To add to my doom, I had to add a fax/printer (canon)& it has 192.168 addressing and I set it up as a stand alone network printer too - using local printer on the server, typing in the IP for it etc and now luckily that one is fine. The same method will not work for the Royal however!!! I thought it would. Can someone please help!!!!!!!!!!! Can I get this to work using tcp/ip or can I go to some other protocol?? Your input is appreciated! It's our laser printer!
