Plug it in? lol

Gonna need more info than that, like how is it connected to the network (Ethernet, wifi, USB to a pc shared on a network, etc...)

Can you connect to it though a PC on the network? (typing in the ip address of the printer into a web browser)

What type of printer is it?

More info the better mate.

 

[pc-tech]

it connects via ethernet to 25 wireless student laptops tried the ip

In that case could be a bad ethernet cable, try replacing it.

 

[pc-tech]

What type of print server are you using?

Can you connect the printer to one computer directly to see if the problem is printer related or network related?

try to ping the network printer seperately by different IP u are using.

 

[pc-tech]

we fixed it, it lost its config, and gave out the wrong ip

Can you ping it?
Is it connected to a print server or does every computer have the driver installed on their computer?

wow we bombarded this thread... good job fixing it!
