How? depending on the printer but usually there will be a settings tab and find an option that may say sometihng like "choose or setup up network". It will be in there somewhere.
There is an option somewhere in your setting to print off the network settings, which will show what IP address is currently being used. Then use that as your permanent IP address when you go into the network settings.

X 2.
I will probably be because the automatic IP address leased to it via the DHCP server in your router has a problem when your printer goes into standby.
I would definitely be reading the manual and allocating a static IP address to the printer (via printer settings). Make sure you set it beyond the IP range of the DHCP table in your router (modem).
Post up your printer and router model and I'll see how I go stepping you though the process.


Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....

OK so i downloaded a manual and i got a pop up saying that my Win Zip was expired and would i like to purchase it. Well i must have originally just got a trial version from somewhere when i downloaded the gq manual last year. So what do i do? I dont wanna pay for dat sh1t! Ill more than likely only use it once in the next year or so.

Is there anyway to unZip the GU manual without purchasing WinZip???

(Ive got good, fast internet so i reckon it wouldnt take long to download an unzipped file if one was available)

Try this Lucas

lucas,

use 7zip or winrar. winrar supposedly expires but it never actually stops working, just reminds you you should pay for it occasionally. both programs are way better than winzip.

nic

7zip Lucas.....Then you can make and extract RAR files, way better then winzip and zip files.

I can compress 200mb 3dmax files down to about 10mb.

7zip IS great, only gripe i have with it is i find the GUI less userfriendly than winrar. 7zip does accept more file types though... =)

Don't bother. Why do you need a GU manual anyway?
