Driver for LaserJet P1606dn for Mac OS 12.3.1

[GeeRab]

My interne lost all connection to my computers. I was able to return one to online by downloading the newest Driver, however when I try to download the new driver for my P1606 and set it for Mac OS 12, after downloading it won't open because it says I need to be running OS 12, which I obviously am. Tried it a couple of times, even tried to open for OS 11 and 10, but both of those times said I needed the Driver for OS 12.

The IP address as changed on the printer and I can't change it to what it needs for my internet because those changes can only be made using software, which I can't use because it won't open.  Any suggestions?

I was able to download the software, and followed the instructions, clicking on allow to let the software to be accessed, but when I go to printers and click on the +, my P1606 still doesn't not come up.

The printer was attached to the router via ethernet, but when I did a Self Test now it shows no IPv4 address.

Please unplug the Ethernet cable and then restore the factory defaults of the printer:

Now connect the printer with an Ethernet cable to the LAN port 1 to 4 of your router and check if you may see any difference.

If the same persist, try connecting the printer with another Ethernet cable and check if it may then get an IP Address.
