How to access printer web interface with new router

[paulri]

I just bought a new wireless router, hoping that I will be able to print more smoothly with my p1102w.

Internet access is working ok from desktop and laptop (wireless).

However, I had bookmarked the IP of my printer, and before, I was always able to access it by clicking on the bookmark. I have checked the IP range for the router, and the printer IP is outside that range, so I don't know why I'm no longer able to access this. I cannot access the web interface, whether from my laptop or from a (wired) desktop. However, the printer is able to print from the desktop without a problem.

How do I access this? I'd like to run the wireless configuration/setup again, but I thought I needed the web interface for that.

Should I just insert the CD? I have made a tweak or two, and would prefer to keep all the printer settings teh same if I can, but I can just start from scratch if I have to.

Not looking good at the moment. I was able to run the wireless configuration utility from the desktop, but it was not able to connect with the printer in that operation. I can still print directy from the wired desktop to the printer, but accessing the printer via a browser interface is not happening.

Do I need to delete this printer from windows and just start all over again?

I think the issue is that the IP that I gave the printer was outside the range of what my new router wants to give devices on the local network. The manual IP for my printer that i have been using is 192.168.2.101 But my new router wants to use only IPs from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.149--if I am understanding what the router is saying when I log into it.

I just deleted the printer on my laptop, reset the printer's wireless settings to default, and then ran teh wireless configuration utility from the wired desktop. Seems to have worked, I can now access the web interface via my laptop now.
