OK, just need to buy a new printer, any suggestions re Brother laser?

It appears that the printer has finally given up the ghost. Dead as a door nail. Pulled the plug and replaced it a couple of times, no sign of life! Rest in peace!

OK, power-cycled the router, started win. The router set-up does NOT show the printer, the IP scanner does not show either!

I tried to ping several different IP addresses to find out one that pings but all timed out. So I went into the printer setup and entered an IP address (192.168.1.7) but that didn't ping either. The IP scanner did not see it.

Double-clicking on any of the entries produces this message: No printer shown

MisterEd: the front panel shows only Zeros

No, it does not.

No test page.

The printers wifi interface is disabled!

Yes, I understand all that. The printer IS connected via Ethernet and it still doesn't print!

Guys, you know what really confuses me: the many IP addresses of that darn printer. The printer's network configuration sheet show 192.168.1.7, the IP scanner shows .4 at the end. The printer properties in win 11 show the printer on 2 ports with 2 other IP addresses. When I try to edit one of...

My PC has no wifi card installed, can't connect via wifi. Btw, is there any way to connect the MAC address to the actual hardware?

OK, I have turned off Wi-Fi on the printer, removed the printer from my PC, reinstalled it, installed the driver, no test page. Sorry for apparently a bit dense guys, my bad.

MisterEd: Are you saying my wife's laptop (via Wi-Fi) could print with Wi-Fi on the printer turned off? I did not know that.

It looks like it but I'm not really sure, how can I find out? The reason why I have the printer under 192.168.1.7 is because it is on the network configuration page that the printer produced.
