Check the printer IP address
To check the IP address of the printer, obtain the IP address on the network
configuration page. To print a network configuration page, press and hold the
(Resume) button, and then press the (Wireless) button.
Ping the printer using the IP address from the command prompt (Windows) or from
Network Utility (Mac OS X). (Network Utility is located in the Utilities folder in the
Applications folder at the top level of the hard disk.).
For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following at the command
prompt (Windows):
C:\Ping 123.123.123.123
- OR –
In Network Utility (Mac OS X) click the Ping tab, type the 123.123.123.123 in the box,
and then click Ping.
If a reply appears, the IP address is correct. If a time-out response appears, the IP
address is incorrect.
