Laserjet P1606dn Network Connect problem

[jfcdrts]

Cant connect print to network> The printer is connected to the network, but when I install the network printer it is never found. Have tried on 3 different computers, none of them can locate the newtork printer. How do I get the printer found on the network?

Just because you attach a printer to the network does not mean computers will automatically find it. You need to run a network config page from the printer to find the ip address of the printer. Then you need to go to the computer and use the add printer, local printer next and at the bottom choose create port and in the drop down choose standard tcp/ip and then follow the prompts to put in the ip address and then see if the computer finds the printer and loads it. Other option is to download the full software package from the link below and run the program which will probably search and find the printer and load it on each computer.

Does not find printer, even when the ip address is entered

What is the ip address of the printer and what is the ip address of your computer. To obtain the ip address of the computer, go to a command prompt and type ipconfig and hit enter. Report back both addresses.

computer, using wifi 10.0.0.7 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 

printer 192.168.0.108 subnet mask 255.255.255.0

You need to do a factory reset of the printer since the ip address of the printer is outside your network frame.  Once you do this the printer will find an address within your network and you should be able to use that address to connect the printer.

Product resets
To restore the product to the factory-default settings, follow these steps.
1. Turn the product off.
2. Turn the product on, and while it is initializing press and hold both control-panel buttons at the same
time until all lights blink in unison.
