I need help if you have a lot of time and some nerves please answer:
My father brought this printer from work for 20 years or so: https://preisvergleich.check24.de/laserdrucker/hp-laserjet-p3005n-q7814a.html?glp=1&wpset=google_pla_shopping_01
So, … I want to connect this to our laptops via LAN. The printer has no Wi-Fi, but a LAN port. So when I plug a cable into this port, it should normally appear in the Wi-Fi. But he doesn't. Under the setting I find a setting called Service, but I can't use it because the employer or no plan who did it set a password. So resetting does not work, unless you can find out the password. But I don't know if it will do anything. I can connect the printer to the laptop via USB and print, so it works. Maybe the Lan plug is broken or why nothing works.
Has become a little long and confusing now, well
Something's going on now.
Should the printer now be integrated via LAN or WLAN?
For WLAN you need a WLAN bridge.
But very important: In order for the printer to work, you have to set the IP address on the printer or at least activate the automatic assignment (DHCP).
To do this it is essential to go to the TCP settings menu.
You can usually see from the LEDs on the Ethernet socket whether the LAN port is working in principle. Either on the printer or on the switch.
Take a look at the instructions. There's guaranteed to be a reset option somewhere.
Sorry for the imprecise question…
I want to connect the printer via LAN, I compared the IP addresses in the router's device list and found that the cable works, the printer is connected, but how do I set it up?
Made it, thank you
