if the printer is using dhcp then either make it static - ie in its configuration give it a fixed ip address, or use the functionality of the router to always deliver the sam eip address via dhcp - you will need the printer mac address for that, although you can probably get a list of attached devices in the netgear set up and just choose the one you want (it wont be your pc). At a guess in the router you will be looking for a lan ip settings page.

Funny, there was nothing on the box about having to know what DHCP is or else your printer wouldn't work
Thanks. Might save my partner throwing it out as a piece of trash that doesn't work. Air has been blue, especially with criticism of high-paid IT people who can't get things to work. I think she was talking about the guys who made an OS, a router, and a printer that wouldn't work together.....

Network laser printer prob
Anyone else have a Samsung ML2251N or similar network laser printer? I have this on a Netgear router, and PCs on XP. Problem is that every time the router is switched off, when it's back on, none of the PCs can find the printer.
I have to delete the virtual port and create a new virtual port and assign the driver to that, on each of the PCs every time.
Have Googled, found some people who may have the same problem but nobody who has an answer.Tags: None
