Epson WF2530 - Configuring Network Wi-Fi Printer From Ubuntu With DHCP
Mar 4, 2013
I'm trying to use an EPSON WF2530 printer over wifi from my laptop Everythings fine until the printer gets turned off and on and the router assigns a new (different) IP address via DHCP.
I can run:
sudo nmap -PR -sP 192.168.1.1/24
which returns a list of MAC addresses and IP addresses on the LAN and then manually set the printer properties to the new IP address or I can log into the WiFi router and inspect the DHCP table then do the same thing What I'd really like to be able to do is have Ubuntu handle this automatically, e.g. it queries the MAC addresses on the LAN, finds the printer, extracts the current IP address and sets the printer properties appropriately? have to check the printers IP address every time I want to use it.I don't want to go down the route of having a static IP table
router is Cisco Linksys Dual-Band Wireless-N ADSL2+ Modem Router with Gigabit WAG320N
The printer, EPSON SX515W Series, is connected to the old computer, plugged in. The other laptops were not connected to the printer and would print as wireless. However now only the old computer prints directly to the printer, the other laptops fail to print it says that the laptop has the EPSON printer as it's default printer yet when ever I try to print, an exclamation mark in yellow triangle appears on the icon, in the control panel>printer section. Troubleshoot does not fix the problem either.The other problem is I can't remember how this was set up as my dad did it, and he will kill me if I don't fix it back. Also the old computer is different to the laptops. Old computer has Windows XP, and the laptops are vista.
I recently purchased an Epson XP-205 Wi-Fi printer, and I set it up on my network and installed the drivers to my laptop, initially I could print over the network, but since a restart I can't. I have tried an uninstall and reinstall of the printer, but to no avail and if it matters, I'm running W7 64-bit.
I've ensured the printing programs are part of my firewall exclusion rules, and I can access the printers set up page via 192.168.1.3, also as expected, the printer is "pingable". On top of this my Android tablet is able to send things to the printer, so I'm sure it is an issue with my laptop.
I have a multifunctional printer epson cx8300 and have it connected to a print server TP-LINK TL-PS310U in a hope that every PCs on the network can share the printer to do printing and scanning. When I did a test to check if I can send a job to the printer, I could actually print it through the print server. However, the problem now is I can not scan a document. When I went to open windows Fax and Scanner window, unable to see any scanner there. So my question is whether this is the limitation of the epson printer itself or the print server or the scanners do not work on the network.
Recently i bought a new printer: Epson SX620FW, I've tried many things, but I can't connect it wireless to my network. Ive downloaded and installed the latest drivers and software from the internet. My PC is connected with a cable to my wireless router. When I connect the printer with a cable to my router everything works perfectly. But I want to connect my printer wireless. On the printer I disconnect the cable. I followed the wireless wizard setup on the printer and I connect to my wireless router. This is confirmed by an ip adress on the printer. Also in the menu of my router I find the ip adres of my printer in the DHCP clients list. So far so good. But from my PC I can not find the printer in my network. I also cant ping my printers ipadres. When I connect the UTP cable to my printer again, I can ping the ip of my printer.
I have an Epson Stylus D88 printer connected by USB to my Windows XP desktop that is connected to my router by an ethernet cable.
I would like to print through that printer from my Win7 laptop wirelessly, but when I follow the "add printer" steps I get told; "Windows can't find a driver for EPSON Stylus D88 Series on the network. To locate one manually, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and consult your network administrator or the printer manufacturer's website."
I have 2 Samsung NC10's here at home that I would like to be able to print using my new Epson PX720WD wireless printer.The printer is fine when sending doc's or images from my main PC, but I suspect I need to load the same software via the CD onto these laptops? Problem with that is they don't have CD drives. Am I thinking along the right lines here? If so, is it possible to drag the info onto a memory stick, insert into laptop and off I go?
I have a printer (epson cx6600) I wanted to connect to our router here so everyone can print to it. It only has a usb connector (which you would typically connect to your pc)... I did notice they have usb to lan cables out there and was going to buy one and connect it to the router that way.
I have one of the above units which has worked fine since i first set it up over a year ago.Yesterday I tried to add an Epson sx425 WI-FI printer, I followed the instrucions and it connected ok however it started to drop the link intermitently and kept failing to print (which was also crap from my machine and total jibberish from any other!) then it lost it all together and all the other wireless devices lost their connection .The router reported it was ok with good signal strength but nothing connected so I switched it off for half an hour and rebooted but it was still the same so I tried to change the pass word but still nothing will connect. I have tried to reset the router also but this had no effect. the units plugged in via wire are working ok it is just something to do with the wirless signal.
i have installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Inspiron 1520 (Clean installation). The OS is working fine and most of the Drivers are working properly. The Wireless LAN is installed but the sometimes wireless networks are not detecting until the computer and access point are restarted several times. The situation is similar to the problem which I faced for Windows 7 in the following thread.

I like to know how to solve this error, where to find proper drivers and how to configure the laptop and OS to work properly.
I use the WAP610N as an Accesspoint for only an small Mobilephone to WLAN Printer Network.My big Problem is that i have therefore no DHCP Server in this special small WLAN Network.And now i need an own DHCP Server from the Accesspoint side because otherwise i must use static IP Adresses in all Mobilephones to connect with the WLAN Network .In the WAP610 unfortunately there is only the choose between static IP Adress and IP Adress FROM an existing DHCP server .
need to find SSID from my network security key and mac address filter - active/disable DHCP. trying to connect EPSON WF610 WiFi to my imac in a home network?
We have finding the projector in the network. When we connected a Epson projector and a laptop in different access points in wireless, we can found the projector in the network. But when we connected them in same access points in wireless, we can't found the projector. We need to find the solution of it. We are using Epson PowerLite 1761W projector and the access point is WAP4410N with firmware version 2.0.6.1.
Trying to find a way to configure my 851 for home use. My internet provider use PPPoE with PAP and althrough I found many configuration options they all are incomplete...or i cant find the logic behind those commands. First of all I need to say what I need:
1. Configurate my int Fa4 (WAN) with pppoe so when i insert my ISP cable in it it will negotiate and take IP.
2. Configurate DHCP on LAN (Fa0-3) so that when I insert my PC it will take a fake IP.
Here is the place where i found some conf examples: [URL] and I have some questions:
1. MTU - Should I use the 1492 value or the "pppoe-client ppp-max-payload 1500"?
2. ip route 10.10.25.2 255.255.255.255 dialer 0 - How can i set an IP route when my connexion informations only come after i connect? (Because is PPPoE)?
3. I cant configurate the DHCP because I dont know the default route, I dont know the DNS, and i dont know the default gateway because I dont know them due to PPPoE !
When I click on Network under Places I can see Windows Network folder. When I click on the Windows Network folder it displays an error message of Unable to mount location...Failed to recieve share list from server.
Windows Server - doing DHCP for private wired/wireless Cisco 1141 Autonomous WAP with only private wireless access. ASA 5505 (with very basic licensing) HP switch
The customer wants to have guest WiFi.
The guest WiFi is going out to the internet via a seperate VLAN/interface on the ASA. Can the 1141 do DHCP for the guest WiFi? Or do I need to do it via the ASA?
It seems that I can add a pool for any subnet except the 192.168.1.1/24. I have successfully added a pool for 192.168.0.1/24, 172.16.16.1/24, etc. But when I use the same commands to add a 192.168.1.1/24 pool, I get:
sw(config)#ip dhcp pool network Device sw(config-dhcp)#address low 192.168.1.20 high 192.168.1.250 255.255.255.0 Illegal IP addresses range or subnet configuration Trying to configure a network pool on default IP interface
VLAN 1 IP was changed from default 192.168.1.254 to a static of 192.168.0.1.
I have an ASA 5540 cluster that is configured as my remote access VPN point. Users connect using IPSEC Profiles with Cert based authentication, the profile is configured to query two DHCP servers (infoblox appliance servers).
The problem I am encountering, is that I need to make reservations on the DHCP server for some users for specific business needs. What happens is that the ASA passes the request to the DHCP server with it's own MAC address and not the MAC of the remote host.
Is there any way I can configure the ASA to pass the request using the hosts actual MAC address?
My roommate is running dual boot Windows XP PRO (SP3) and Ubuntu 10.10. I am running Windows XP PRO(SP3). Is there any software, that can run on both OS and can create a home network that will work between XP and Ubuntu. He has Samba installed but I have read that that works on Linux not Windows so he can see me but I can't see him.
We are having a network of 7 computers and a server (Ubuntu server). The problem is, two of them are not connecting to the network. When i check the network card of these two systems, it seems working (the green light is blinking). When i replace these systems with a laptop, it connecting to the network and there is not problem at all.
My host OS is Ubuntu 12.04 and I am running a LAMP stack there. I have several Windows virtual machines (XP and Windows7) running in Virtual Box so I can test IE6, IE7, etc..
I frequently move this laptop between a few wireless networks and sometimes I am without an internet connection. I pause and save the VM execution state. Regardless, I want the virtual machines to be able to access the sites I am hosting locally on Ubuntu. The virtual machines do not need regular internet access. On the host I can point the browser at localhost or any subdirectory that apache is serving and view pages I've set up already. What is the best configuration for this?
Should I use Bridged or NAT virtual adaptors and should the guests use static IP's or DHCP ? I've also considered using ad-hoc networks between guests and host, but I think this will require that the host disconnect from any other networks (with internet access).
I have an Ubuntu box, 11.04 x64, running on a Dual Opteron SFF box (iWill ZMaxDP... pretty old machine). Up until a few weeks ago, it was acting as a Windows 2008 Server, but i moved it to Ubuntu.
Anyway, the machine will not stay on the network for any amount of time, without falling off... I have changed network cards, cables, ports on the switch, etc, and nothing seems to work. I have a Windows 2003 box giving out DHCP addresses, and for a while, i actually tured that off and setup a second Ubuntu box to give IPs... it made no difference. The box gets an IP, and can ping outside for a bit (2 min or so) and then just looses connectivity... ifconfig shows it with an IP (i have tried both Static and DHCP config) and nothing seems to work.Restarting the network stack (/etc/init.d/networking restart) some times gets a connection working for a few min, but then it falls over again..
Just to note, the main onboard network card is not showing up for some reason. I have an Intel Dual GigE PCI card installed. Eth2 is the "Working" interface, an ETH3 is not connected to anything.... Also, this is probably the first time since i installed the machine that the connection is staying up.
I receive a question from a future customer about this future if its supported on " WS-C2960S-24PS-L":configuring 2 dhcp server on this swith ( 1 dhcp for voice vlan , and 1 for Data Vlan).I did some search , but i didnt find the answer .i have to advice a customer before ordering the switch.
is it possibe to set up a ubuntu linux PC on a linksys wireless router? linksys says "no". also where would I get the printer, wireless card, and sound drivers. it's a dell latitude running a pentium m (yeah, i know).
i used intel DH61WW mother board, processer is intel core i3 3.10 Ghz speed, I need lan drivers for this board OS is UBUNTU 10.04 my E-mail ID is ( url.... )
I've tried two operating systems (Ubuntu 12.04 and Windows XP) two different wireless adaptors (Dell M1530 internal adaptor and Alfa USB Adaptor which I get full bars on) and tried a different Dell M1530 laptop which I'm also having issues with. I've also tried to diagnose the network with a tool, but I'm totally unable to connect to it so I'm unable to get any more information.If I try to connect to an unsecured network, it works perfectly. I'm totally stumped about this, due to the fact that I've used two different operating systems, two different adaptors and two different laptops (albeit the same brand).
I new to the linux version of os, i had recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my dell laptop Inspiron 15R N5010 model. The wireless networks are getting detected in the menu. even though its working fine in wired and mobile net cases. I think that the wireless driver is missing.
