Network printer issues

I recently purchased a new mac and a wireless brother lc75 printer. I cannot get the printer to print. I have configured the printer with the correct SSID and network key, and the printer states it's connected, but when I try to printer the mac cannot find the printer. Can anyone help

Hi Shalfhill,

I'm pretty sure LC75 is an ink cartridge. Can you check the model of that printer?

When installing printers and servers it's always best to give them a static IP vs. a Dynamic IP (DHCP). Usually the static IP is assigned just outside the DHCP's server range.

eg.

DHCP 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.50

so make the printer 192.168.0.51

Then all you have to do is tell the laptop/desktop to use IP printing protocols to 192.168.0.51
