Check your network setup

Make sure you are not using a phone cord or a cross cable to connect the printer to the network. See Configuring the printer (Windows) or Configuring the printer (Mac OS).

Make sure the network cable is securely connected to the printer.

Make sure the network hub, switch, or router is turned on and working properly.

Check the computer

Make sure the computer that you are using is connected to the network.

Check your Web browser

Make sure the Web browser meets the minimum system requirements. See System requirements.

Check the printer IP address

Print the configuration pages of the printer, and locate the printer's IP address on the second page. See Understanding the configuration page.

Ping the printer using the IP address from an MS-DOS prompt.

For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following at the MS-DOS prompt:

C:\Ping 123.123.123.123

If a reply appears, the IP address is correct. If a time-out response appears, the IP address is incorrect.
