Trying to hook up an old printer to laptop wirelessly

[Metastasis]

Ah! I figured it out. Ignore the query above. I’ve set up the laptops and desktop. All test pages printed. I located the configuration page and I see all the information you provided above. I will complete the below steps on the printer tomorrow and report back:

IP setting using control panel

1. Connect your machine to the network with a network cable. (you have done this)
2. Turn on the machine.
3. Press Menu on the control panel.
4. Press the left/right arrow until Network appears and press OK.
5. Press the left/right arrow until TCP/IP (IPv4) appears and press OK.
6. Press the left/right arrow until Static appears and press OK.
7. Press the left/right arrow until IP Address appears and press OK.
8. Enter the IP address using numeric keypad and press OK. Enter a byte between 0 and 255 using the number keypad and press the left/right arrow to move between bytes. Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte.
9. Enter other parameters, such as the Subnet Mask and Gateway appears and press OK. 10. After entering all parameters, press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.

Hi PeterOz,
As promised, I implemented the following steps. But there was a slight deviation (a good one at that) that I discovered while following the instructions provided above. These were the steps and the results:

1. The printer was already connected to the network via a network cable;
2. The printer was already on;
3. I pressed “Menu” on the control panel;
4. I pressed the left/right arrow until “Network” appeared and pressed “OK”;
5. I pressed the left/right arrow until “TCP/IP (IPv4)” appeared and pressed “OK”;
6. I pressed the left/right arrow until “Static” appeared and pressed “OK”;
7. I pressed the left/right arrow until “IP Address” appears and pressed “OK”;
8. This is where the deviation occurred. At this point I did not have to enter the IP address using numeric keypad and press OK. The IP address was already listed as 192.168.001.015
9. This is where another deviation occurred. I also did not have to enter the Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask was already listed as 255.255.255.000
   I did not have to enter the Gateway either. The Gateway was already listed as 192.168.001.001
10. After entering all parameters, press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.

From the printer’s configuration page, under “print information”, I was able to print a variety of pages (test pages) from my laptops and desktop computer.
