So it's been quite a while since I've been on Anandtech but have run into a problem I can't solve.
I recently purchased a Samsung 3312ND laser printer and plugged it into my wired network. The printer is wired into a DLink655 wireless router. I initially used DHCP but have subsequetly set up the printer static with a 192.168.0.160 IP and the same subnet and gateway as my home network.
I ran the Samsung setup program on my main wired machine and found the printer without any problem and works great.
I did the same thing on the wireless laptop and cannot find the printer. The setup software allows you to directly enter the IP or name and tried both, neither worked. Disabled the firewall with no go. I also tried directly adding using the windows 7 add printer specifying the IP address and does not work.
So what I am doing wrong--how can I get the wireless laptop to see the wired printer?
I have temporarily shared the printer through my wired computer and homegroup and the laptop can print to the printer that way, but the whole point of the network printer was to be able to print directly to the printer bypassing any computer.
