I’m currently trying to setup my Konica Minolta Magicolor 1690MF on my network for my dad so our family can print from it. My dad is trying to print via Wi-Fi and was able to print after he wired his laptop to the router, however no one can print to the printer over Wi-Fi.

I’ve plugged the printer in, hooked it up via ethernet cable to my router; a Netgear WNDR3800. I changed the settings on my printer to assign it a static IP of 192.168.1.110 and I set the subnet to match what my router config says, and restarted printer. After restart, I logged into my router and saw it in my attached devices like this.

enter image description here

It showed up, so my dad tried to ping that IP, and the ping timed out. I tried to add a device through the setup wizard on my computer, and the other computers in my house, but the device wasn't able to be found.

I’m at a loss now, and after a couple hours of searching, I still can’t seem to find anything.

  • @JakeGould I don't think it matters - if the PC and Printer are in the same subnet, the router doesn't participate other than at layer 2.

  • @DamianVu If your dad pings the router, and then does arp -a in the command line, do you see an entry corresponding to the ip and mac in your image?

  • @Paul yes when I do arp -a, I do see the ip and mac addresses of my printer there.

  • @DamianVu If you can see the arp entry, then the problem may not be networking. Can you browse to it?
