If it??™s a wireless print
server, you may need to hook it up to your PC first to enter the SSID
and encryption information; consult the documentation for details.
3. Determine your print server??™s IP address.
The address might be a static default address, which would be mentioned
in the documentation.
Otherwise, your router??™s DHCP system will automatically assign it an IP
address. To find out, open your router setup page, and view the DHCP
Client Table, as described in ???Troubleshoot Network Connections??? in
Chapter 7. Here, you??™ll see the IP address your print server is currently
using.
4. Open a web browser, type the print server??™s IP address into the address
bar, and press Enter.
5. On the print server setup page, turn off DHCP and specify a static IP
address. Make sure you pick an address no PC on your network is likely to
use; for instance, if your PCs are currently at 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.
102, and so on, choose something out-of-the-way like 192.168.1.177 for
your print server, and then save the settings. Check the print server??™s
documentation if you need further help with this step.
6. Next, add the printer to a PC. Open the Printers folder in Control Panel,
and then click the Add a printer button on the toolbar.
7. In the Add Printer window, click Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth
printer.
