The printer is a xerox versalink C600 and is connected to the network through ethernet.
When my computer is connected to the network through wifi it can find and connect to the printer no problem, however if I connect my computer to the network through ethernet it can no longer see the printer.
I'm not super familiar with connecting up printers etc, is there anything obvious I'm missing?
Thanks
 
You haven't provided any PC hardware or software information so we are stuck with advising anything about any of that atm.

The below is from page 38 in the user manual;

CONNECTING TO A WIRED NETWORK

1. Ensure that the printer is powered off. 2. Attach a Category 5 or better Ethernet cable from the printer to the network or router socket. Use an Ethernet switch or router, and two or more Ethernet cables. Connect the computer to the switch or router with one cable, then connect the printer to the switch or router with the second cable. Connect to any port on the switch or router except the uplink port. 3. Attach the power cord, then plug in the printer and power it on. 4. Set the network IP printer address, or set up the printer for automatic printer IP detection. For more information, refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/VLC600support.

Rather a large printer for personal use :unsure:
