How to install printer over wireless

We have a Brother printer at work which is connected to the network. It is not possible for me to physically connect to the printer via Ethernet cable, only via wireless. Brother insists that the only way to install/configure the printer drivers is to be physically connected via Ethernet cable. If true, this is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard (it's just a printer — not a multifunction machine — and it is already configured for the network).
The printer does not appear in the Add Printer list, when I go the the IP that is assgned to it, I get an error message from IIS ("Under Construction. The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured") although on Windows machines the printer driver auto-installs when going to that IP address.
Does anyone have a clue as to how I can install this printer?
Thank you.

Hello Jworl,
Thanks for the post.  I've included a couple of links below with some excellent information on the installation process.  Good Luck!

    You will need to create separate device types for each printer family installed at your installation or if each printer family require either simplex or duplex printing.
    1. Go to ‘Spool Administration screen’ by using transaction code SPAD from the initial screen of SAP.
    2. From the SPAD screen choose menu path Utilities-->for device types --> IMPORT (or you can run RSTXSCRP program from SE38, too).
    3. In the initial screen of “SAPscript Export to Dataset/SAPscript Import from Dataset” enter the following:
    a) Check Radio button for device type.
    b) In the Object Name field enter object name of the device type file (please see the table at the end of this document for object names)
    c) MODE must be IMPORT
    In the Ctrl parameters for file operation
    d) Check radio button for "From/on frontend" ( Generally this would be the default)
    That's it. Don't enter anything else. Execute by clicking execute button or function key F8.
    4. In the “Create Object Directory Entry” window that pops up, enter your development class and press enter
    5. You will get a pop up Window “Import from a Local File”. Browse through the Window to enter the filename in your local directory and click ‘Transfer’ button.

  • How do i print over my network

    I have an iMac running 10.6.8 and I would like to print over my newtwork using a hp jetdirect 300x which is attached to a hp 5p lazerjet printer. The windows xp notebook i have works fine through it. I can see a jetdirect socket on the list on my Mac when i am trying to connect to it using the add a printer function and i printed out the pcl config page using my windows notebook. I used the ip address from there but nothing i do gets a print order through. either it unendingly tries to  connect and doesn't or it shows a printer in the selection window but registers a busy will try in 5 seconds or does not connect. I understand apple discontinued appletalk with this operating system and I could find no drivers or printserver software on hp's website for apple to download to make this work. can anyone suggest something to do to make my iMac and printserver work together. I have another hp color lazerjet 2600n that works with the iMac just by plugging it in and loading the cd that came with it. I don't have a cd for the Jetdirect 300x. Could i get one somewhere and would it have the apple drivers to make this work if I could?

    Hi Burlap and welcome to the HP Forum,
    I understand that you want to get your printer on your wireless router and set it up as a wireless printer. I will try my best to help you with this. In this document for Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection are the steps needed to set the printer up on the router.
    I hope this information helped. Let me know how it goes.
    Thank you,

  • Printing over wireless connection

    How would you set up a powerbook to print over a wireless connection? I set up a wireless network for my mom (she had a Dell Inspiron8600) when I passed on my PowerBook to her. Wireless internet connection is working fine. The main unit connected to the modem is the Inspiron. I can't seem to figure out what I have to do to get the PowerBook to print. If someone could walk me through the setup process I would sure appreciate it! The printer hooked up to the Inspiron is an HP Deskjet 5470. It is not being recognized by the PowerBook.

    Make sure you have the latest drivers on your Mac and make sure the printer is shard on your pc. Go to system preferences on your mac click on "printer/fax" click on the + sign. Then go to "more printers" then find your printer on your network.
    This technique has gotten my mac to communicate with my printer, but not actually print but maybe it will be successful for you.

  • Printing to shared windows printer over wireless network

    Hi,
    I just bought my wife a MacBook and recently updated it to Leopard (OS X 10.5). I have a Lexmark X5150 printer connected to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I can share files between the two computers no problem either wirelessly or through an ethernet connection through my router. But, I'm having troubles accessing the shared printer through the Macbook wirelessly. If I connect the printer directly to the Macbook, I can add the printer with appropriate drivers no problem. However, when I try to add the printer as Windows shared printer, the appropriate driver doesn't show up in the drop down list. I can navigate to and find the printer over the network fine, but I just can't find the right driver. I'm a newbie to Mac and was wondering if there is anyway to find the driver using Finder or something similar to determine where it physially resides on the Mac. I know it's there because it is automatically selected when I directly connect the printer to the Macbook and add the printer. Any thoughts??

    Couldn't figure things out, so I'll just stick with connecting the printer directly to the macbook.

  • Problem with printing over wireless network

    Hello. I have a HP psc 2410 all-in-one printer.
    I've recently bought a modem router which has a capability called"printer-server" and I decided to use this feature and print over wifi. I set it up but with a problem. when I print something, for instance, test page, instead of printing just one page, It will print "test page" in 3 pages( something like partial pages and which the last=third page is printed blankly) and then It freezes(printer screen shows "printing" and I have to cancel the job, otherwise it freezes and I have to replug it). I have this trouble not just in test page but at least from IE, office, PDF files. This problem is essentially about Wifi, since If I connect the printer directly to the PC or laptop via usb, it works absolutely fine. also I have tried printing with different laptops over wifi but no go. below are more information which I have to mention:
    1)Router is on WPA-PSK encryption type.
    2)There is no mac-filtering or hiding SSID going on.
    3)one laptop and an iPad is connected to router via wifi and a PC which is connected by LAN cable.
    4)The printer IP address is the same as Router's settings page IP address.(192.168.0.1)
    5)I can't open the printer's internal web page by entering the printer's IP address in browser since it's the same as router IP address.
    6)Firewall on my laptop( windows 7  32-bit) is off and I'm using no Anti-virus.
    7) I have tried HP PRINT AND SCAN DOCTOR, but it says the printer is OK.
    thanks
    Leland
    EDIT: after investigating for hours, I finally managed to get rid of freezing problem. now there is just one problem of that partial printing which happens coincidentally over wifi! I mean, sometimes it happens and sometimes not!
    any suggestions? I'd really appreciate it
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The bottomline is that this printer has no way of connecting other than a straight USB connection.   In order to make it wireless you have to have a device that will give it an network IP address.  The printer by itself can not do this.
    The only way to get this printer on a network is to buy a SEPERATE USB Printer Server.   Or, buy a separate router, like I said, that has a USB connection on the back that will support printers. 
    You can not connect it the way you want as it stands right now.
    However, call your ISP and have them set it up IF their Gateway device has a USB connection and really can support a printer.  It is their issue.

  • How I install printer sharp al-2050cs??

  • How to install printer on RG11B ?

    Hello
    I'm having problems installing my Officejet 5110 printer on USB port of my RG11B Wireless gateway with print server.
    I'm running XP Home.
    Printer works fine when I install directly on my laptop (wireless 802.11b). But when i connect my printer to RG11B and add standard TCP/IP Port (192.164.1.254), my laptop does not detect (rocognize) the device.  I have also selected LPR protocol and printer queue name as lpt1 as shown in the status of gateway.
    Remember, router's status does show me that HP Officejet 5100 series printer is attached, Printer port 192.168.1.254 and print server name as lpt1.
    my internet and network works fine through router. Only problem is installing printer on print server.
    Thanks for help
    [email protected]

    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes I think so, but mannual of router has not even indicated about that. It says that IP of print server is 192.168.1.254. It doesn't say that it's IP of the router. Even in router's cutomized settings it refers to it as print server's IP. And it is preassigned.
    thanks again. i hope you'll try to find a solution.

  • How to install printer which is not listed in the software list

    I just bought Canon MX372 and I am having a hard time installing it. I have installed the software that came with it and yet I can't add it as printer?
    It is always giving me a msg to update the software and when I accept to update it takes a minute and then says software is not available?!!
    any idea what is going on?

    Okay.
    First, got any third-party login items? If so, disable them (and list here for info).
    Got any other third-party software that might impact printing?
    Then try this:
    Keep the installer or dmg you just downloaded from Apple if you haven't already trashed it.
    If you haven't done so, repair permissions on startup drive and reset PRAM.
    Then go to Print & Scan prefs and delete any printers.
    Then go to Macintosh HD/Library/Printers. (You will have to enter password to authorize this)
    Restart.
    Be sure printer is connected (hard wired, not wireless) and turned on.
    Then reinstall Canon drivers downloaded from Apple, restart, and attempt to install printer.

  • How To Install mini-pci wireless card in 1955-S805 ?

    I'm trying to install a new mini-pci wireless card in my Satellite 1955-S805. I was able to pry off the black shiny strip above the keyboard, and unscrew the two screws holding down the keyboard. But under the keyboard is a silver metal plate. There doesn't appear to be a way to get past that. Everything I've read seems to say that the mini-pci card goes under the keyboard.
    Does anyone know how to install a mini-pci card in these 1955-S805 notebooks? Or does anyone have a tech manual on this model?
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Hi Pat
    I am not sure but you have an US model. I have 1900-703 notebook. It is a European model and I had no problem to install mini-pci wireless card.
    Your unit has also wireless keyboard. Am I right?
    If you want to built in wireless card you must remove the keyboard from notebook using keyboard releases on the left and right side of your unit. After that you can see small cover on the place of keyboard and this cover is fixed with one screw. Under this small cover there is wireless card slot.
