Hello Fellow Listers:
Okay, a few folks were close but one guy essentially nailed it; a driver
issue. Blessedly, I was able to find the original software disk which came
with the printer and we were then able to configure things such that Emily's
computer now sees the router. I'm quite confident that when we put that
disk into my Dell Vostro 410, we'll have the same success with my computer.
Many sincere thanks to all those who responded to my cry for help, <smile>!
John

Subject: [VICUG-L] Computer Doesn't Recognize Printer on Router
Hello Fellow List Members:
I'm hoping that someone can help me here. Having just purchased a new
condo, it is now necessary for me to reconfigure my office space in such a
way as to attach my Dell 2135CN printer to a router rather than cabling it
directly to my Dell Vostro 410 computer. (Said computer is running windows
XP, service pack 3, with JAWS 11.0.1447; the router is a Linksys WRT54GL.)
Quite obviously, the idea is for my computer to be able to "see" the printer
on the router and access / use same. I've made the appropriate CAT5
ethernet cable connection from the printer to the router. When reviewing
the router's user / clients table, I see a printer name, an assigned
internal IP address, and a MAC address. However, when I use XP's "add
printer" wizzard, it doesn't "see", recognize, or retrieve any of this
information. Bottom line, seeing as how my beautiful new computer desk has
just arrived, I'm most anxious to resolve this situation sooner than later.
Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions most welcome!
John
