Laserjet CP1025 (Network Printer Server)

[ASNK]

Hi, I've purchased Laserjet CP1025 and I thought that it can be added to the network by connecting the printer to my router (ASUS AC88U) using both windows 10 and mac os 10.12.3 but it was that easy at all 😞

I have tried all possible solutions from ASUS support as well as Apple support, both said that it just need to be connected to the router and LDP protocol to be used with the IP address of the router via usb and then I need to add LPRServer in the Queue box, well it didnt work both with and without.

I have no idea what is the problem and I'm really desperate for help.  

Hope for a solution for mac os 10.12

Thanks

Hi David,

Thanks for the swift response. unfortunetly this is not the exact issue I have. The kind of network I would like to setup is:

The printer is linked to ASUS AC88U router via usb (usb out from printer to usb interface in the router).
All the PCs including my mac computer can simply print using the printer as a network printer throught assignted IP address, which all the support feedback topics tend to say that it is your router IP address and in my case 192.168.1.1.

As I have mentioned earlier I've used the LPD method to setup the printer over the network but it didnt work at all. I actually tried two IP addresses one as mentioned above and another 192.168.1.31 because it seems that the router assigned this IP address to the printer automatically again both ways didnt work.

Note: the router recognized the printer correctly.

So the issue is not that the printer is not recognizing the network cause the printer doesn't have the wifi functionallity in place. Thats why I'm trying to setup it/link it to the router to get a network printer.

I hope that above description clarifies the issue a bit better.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @ASNK, I am the Jeet_singh. It looks like you were interacting with @DavidSMP, but he is out of the office today so I'll take over from here.

Thank you for replying, I appreciate your time and efforts. As I understand you have checked the settings and still having the connectivity issue. Don't worry as I have a few other steps which should help to resolve your concern,

Now open a web browser and on the address bar (top left corner) type the IP address and press enter. If the printer and the computer are on the same network, the printer page (Printer EWS) should display.

If the wireless light is solid blue, then the printer is connected to the network. Now follow the steps below and check:

• Click the Apple menu icon, and then click “System Preferences”.
• Click “Printers and Scanner” / “Print and Scan” or “Print and Fax”.
• Right-click the blank space in the Printers list, and then click “Reset printing system”.
• Click “Reset” in the confirmation window.
• Enter an administrator username and password, and then click “OK”.
• Wait until the printing system is reset and no devices show in the Printers list
• Click the “Add button” (+).
• Find, and then select the name of your printer from the printer list, and then click “Add” to add your printer.
• Click “Print Using...”, and then select the name of your printer (By default “Airprint” would be selected)

Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Biswajeet, thanks for your mail.

Unfortunately the issue was not solved, because the last two solution I got from you guys is related to printers with wifi capability which is not the case here ( Laserjet CP1025 color has a usb connection only) and therefor the EWB is not working.

In my previous post I have mentioned that the printer is connected directely to the router via usb (the printer does not have  wireless option)  and the router recongnize it. now the question is how to print over the network (wifi network) directely to the printer which is linked to the router.

Thanks again

Hello, @ASNK

I would like to jump in with a suggestion 🙂

Did you run the ASUS printer server utility? Please check the steps mentioned here: https://youtu.be/y8rug_Nknx4

Make sure the router firmware is updated to the latest version before you run the utility.

Those steps should do the trick, let me know the outcome!

Cheers 🙂
