Parent topic: Solving Network Problems Related tasks Printing a Network Connection Report Cannot Print Over a Network If you cannot print over a network, try these solutions: • Make sure that your product is turned on. • Make sure you install your product's network software as described in your product documentation. • Print a network status sheet and verify that the network settings are correct. If the network status is Disconnected, check any cable connections and turn your product off and then on again. • Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine the cause of the problem. • If you are using TCP/IP, make sure the product's IP address is set correctly for your network. If your network does not assign IP addresses using DHCP, set the IP address manually. • Make sure your computer and product are both using the same wireless network. • If network printing is slow, print a network status sheet and check the signal strength. If it is poor, place your product closer to your router or access point. Avoid placing your product near a microwave oven, cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a filing cabinet. Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for instructions. • Try restarting your router following the instructions in your router documentation. Note: If you are reading these instructions online, you will lose your Internet connection when you restart your router. • Check if there are any paused print jobs. • Make sure your printer is selected as the default printer. • Check if the selected printer port is correct. 282
