What to expect happen?

  • Each router assigns a unique IP address to each device connected to the router. It is common for routers to use different ranges of IP addresses.

  • Check your printer if it has DHCP enabled, confirm this by printing a status report.


If the DHCP is Enabled, they will find a new IP address once connected to the router. The next step is to disable the DHCP.


If the DHCP is Disabled, then you need to enable DHCP first to let the router allocate an IP address, then disable the DHCP.
