wireless printer not seen by computer
New Xerox B235 printer connects to Liahona network, but when I try to add printer MACaddress to Group Policy, computer doesnt find printer. Can add MACaddress manually but still no connection between computer and printer.
Any help appreciated.

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
I'd assign the printer a fixed IP address. Use the "add a printer" function, "The printer I want isn't listed", "Add a printer using an IP address or hostname".

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
the printer is not found withits IP address; i.e., I ping the IP address with no response

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
Not all devices respond to a ping. Try accessing it from a web browser using it's IP as many printers do run a web service.

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
Under Select Group Policy:, be sure "Iot" is NOT selected. To see devices on the public network it should be set to "NoSplash".

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
Group policy was set to no splash and used browser to search for IP address but to no avail. I took printer home and connected it to my home wireless w/o problem so issue is with wireless network at church....

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
After the printer's connected to Liahona, please print the Network Setup Page.
From the control panel, navigate to: Settings --> Reports --> Network --> Network Setup Page
I'm curious what it shows for the following in the Wireless Section of the report:
IP (IPv4) Address
Net Mask
Gateway
DNS Server

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
I'd check on a connected computer to see what the DNS is set to. If the printer is not getting the DNS from the network, that would explain why it's not connecting.

Re: wireless printer not seen by computer
I checked the DNS. That's correct for a meetinghouse, so that's not the issue.
