Hi! I'm just wondering if I restore the network on my printer to defaults, will the printer's IP address change? I set a manual IP address on the Embedded Web Server, but I'm afraid it is the same IP as for another device... So there's a conflict.  Therefore I cannot access the EWS anymore. I will try to do a network refresh, but I'm just wondering if setting the network to defaults on my printer will change the IP address....

I normally use fix IP addresses which are over 200 for my printers to avoid conflict with other devices. Please try again and assign IP address for your printer as xxx.xxx.x.2xx (depending on your router, for example 192.168.1.205).

 

Regards.
