Thanks CyberPunk. I'd spent hours trying to find my printer again after a Win 10 recovery. You are a good teacher. Very clear, very thorough, and you anticipate possible confusions and address them before I knew I had them. Good work. Chris in LA

Aw thank you so much, I do really appreciate that! Thank you for watching!
This is the best printer tutorial video on the planet. I've been watching videos for days, including videos from other countries. Had my issue fixed in 5 minutes after watching this.

Thank you so much for watching & sharing your experience!! Really means a lot to me
Thanks so much for this great video and I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Life sucks sometimes, but it gets better with time... Oh and the typed out step by step in the description was a really nice touch. Unfortunately, a win 10 upgrade to my network PC with the printer hosed my network and none of my other pc's can print to it. I've messed with SO many settings on SO many PC's now I may never recover, but that doesn't diminish your extreme effort! Peace...
Oh thank you so much!!!!! I haven't been able to have a printer for over a year, and I tried everything. I had to first remove some antivirus software, delete the web cache and some tinker with firewall type stuff, but this was the thing that cracked the problem!
Thank you very much for this tutorial! What a nightmare it is to go through this every so often. When the electricity blinks or goes out for a few minutes, it wipes something on my computer and I have to reconfig my printer settings all over again. You’re the best. Great tutorial!
Thank you, thank you, thank you CyberPunk! Your instructions worked first try and using commands to find the printer IP address is genius and super fast. Finally, my printer works with my new laptop thanks to you! I subscribed and will be watching more.
I simply don't know how to thank you, not only that I solved a serious problem but I also learned a lot from you, thank you sir
Can't wait to get home and utilize your methodology. Thanks for sharing.
This video was very helpful. I did run into one problem but was able to find a fix based on the info in the video. Thumbs up!
I spent a lot of time watching videos for help. Yours was dead on! Thank you!
Thanks for the good video. Losing my printer was annoying and hope this stays unchanged by microsoft. I did figure the dynamic numbers to try were mine and 3rd number worked. Good when you see what you said. I did select 'apply' and 'ok'. There are two choices to ADD PRT & I choose STD Printer which went to the Wizard. GREAT> Tried printing and it is Working !!! Thanks
awesome video. The other videos I checked on YT did NOT correctly show how to find my printers IP address and I could NOT find it using their method. Awesome!! great job. thanks so much
Oh Man ! You made my day ! Thank you for this fantastic video ! I couldn't find a solution with my printing issue. My old Photosmart 8400 series from HP didn't like Windows 10. Happily a subscriber add your link on a forum (thanks to XBladeRunner on HP Community) and It works ! So if anyone has this same problem : First unplug the USB cable and plug in an Ethernet cable on your printer. I've switched on the printer and followed step by step this video. And it works !!! Yay !!!
Seriously the best tutorial on the web
Straight to the point no bullshit video! Very helpful!

Hi, thanks for helpful video. How can I change DHCP to static IP address?
Dude.... this is only video that worked for me. All the other vids found my printer name in ports via the devices and printers tab. I already know what it was called! haha... Your video found everything I needed. Thanks... I was frustrated because my phone could connect to my printer yesterday, but quit printing today! No explanations why! Still worked with my laptop... I may have to switch my printer to static IP. Is this a better option?
I loved this video and subscribed. Easy to understand and follow your guideline. I have three printers. Should I turn two off while I am working on the other? Sometimes I think the computer is more confused than I am. Thank you. Keep up the great work. You are good at this you should teach. Consider more income. :)

Hi, thanks for this great way finding the printer ip via terminal (works also on mac/linux with ifconfig)! But if the printer ip changes, you have to do the procedure again -- so you better fix the IP via router or printer setting if possible. :-)

Possible to change mass amount of personal computer IPs using powershell csv file?
Hi thank for that video very helpful. I have hp printer also and wit software HP Smart printing and scanning works no problem. With the drivers for printer also comes scanning software called hp mfp scanner. IF YOU KNOW THIS ONE YOU MY HERO. In that software when I connect via USB scaner/printer is being recognized no issue. The problem I have if I want to communicate via wireless Software won't regonize scaner/printer. I have try everything maybe you know solution. Thanks in advance
In this way, do you hook up your printer straight to your Network Switch and then you could hook your computer to a hard line network?
Hi do u have any thing about Group Policy
Also do u know when I was at the ether net adapter local area connection is it media state............ Media disconnected How to fix
Your awesome
Hi great video. At 3:52. Can you tell me in what instances would you select "add a network printer" compared to the one you selected, "add a local printer"? I know it might seem obvious but in every video I've seen everyone chooses "add a local printer." If you're installing this on an office network via ethernet cable, which option would you choose and/or when would you select "Add a Network Printer". What's it there for? Thanks.

I am so going to try this. I am going crazy with a network label printer
CyberPunk: Q: Sharp mx3500 printer. Vendor worked on it now users can’t print to it. First I pinged it (got ip from users computers) and got reply. Checked printer settings and network configuration gone, blank, they may have reset it. So I re-entered ip,subnet,gateway,dns - had to copy some info from another known working Sharp printer. Rebooted printer. Ping ok. Printers website can see printer. Still won’t print. Cleared que. Same issue. Thoughts ?
please show us how to assign a static IP to a local wireless printer,thanks

any idea how to connect to a 10.9.3.190 network printer from a class 3 192.168.1.1 network ? Any help appreciated
i just wanted the net use command explained, and you still did it thru the GUI
You may have relieved a ton of frustration. I have a Kyocera Taskalpha that I couldn't get to ping. when I printed the network info from the printer, it listed a host that I had never heard of. As result, I couldn't get into the back side of this printer to make the adjustments I wanted to. I can't wait to go down to the office and try what you just taught me. I am so hopefull this will work.

he @CyberPunk i could not find my Hp Neverstop Laser MFP 1200w's ip address. It shows only one dynamic IP address and it is my router. Please help i have been trying for last year or so. Thanks in advance.
I tried this and windows is connecting to the FAX, WS or XPS features on my multi-function canon mx522 printer and they fail to print anything. These devices are not on the right port for wireless printing. I think that the printer driver might not be installed correctly. Do you know if this is right? Or is it something else? I'd appreciate any help.
cool background
As some others have said, your printer may not show up in the arp -a list. Lucky for me, I was able to look it up on the little LCD screen of my HP Photosmart 8450 printer. (Menu-Tools-Network). Hope this helps someone.

my Internet "router" is too far away. Can I drop a switch in and connect my workstation and printer into that and do the same thing?
after Ipconfig, i couldn't find anything in section Ethernet adapter local area connection. What did i do wrong ?
Don't forget to either set the IP on the printer as fixed or in the router in DHCP as reserved. Otherwise few restarts of the router/printer later and the printer will have a different IP address.

Why would the printer be dynamic in companies I've worked for it's mostly static
@marcellipovsky8222
Жыл бұрын
@@tinothomas4862 It is static if you set it to be static. The Default is DHCP and in such case the IP address is assigned by the DHCP server at random. You don't want a random IP on the printer each time you restart it or the router (DHCP server) Common users have no idea what all that means. You have to have a bit of networking knowledge.

Is it possible to change ip address of printer
hey, when I tried the sets of numbers (IPv4) it didn't work. I just got 1 set of numbers and that wasn't the one. Now what?
