I find that giving the printer a static IP address avoid a lot of issues.

The easiest way would be to go into the printer embedded web server, and then find the current IP address. Once you have the current address post it back here but normally I add about 20 to it and change it to a manual address also known as static address.

For example if the printer IP address is 192.168.1.5 I would change it to 192.168.1.25.

Depending on how your driver is setup you might also have to add a port in your driver.
