Locating the printer IP address

From the printer, print a network setup page. In the TCP/IP section, look for Address.

View the printer settings.

1From the printer control panel, navigate to: > Network Setup > TCP/IP > IPv4 Setup

2Look for IP Address.

If the printer, the laptop, or both do not have an IP address, or if either has an address of 169.254.x.y (where x and y are any two numbers between 0 and 255):

1Turn off the device or devices that do not have a valid IP address.

2 Turn on the devices, and then check the IP addresses again.

If the printer or the laptop still does not receive a valid IP address, then there is a problem with your wireless network. Try the following:

Make sure your access point (wireless router) is turned on and is working.

Remove any objects that could be blocking the signal.

Temporarily turn off any unnecessary wireless devices on your network and pause any networkintensive activities, like large file transfers or network games. If the network is too busy, then it is possible that the printer is not receiving the IP address within the allowed time.

Make sure your DHCP server, which may also be your wireless router, is working and is configured to assign IP addresses. If you are not sure how to do this, then refer to the manual that came with your wireless router.

If the printer and computer have valid IP addresses and the network is operating correctly, then continue troubleshooting.
