Your Windows 11 computer can't find your shared printer, so it won't work with it.
Your Windows 11 computer can't find your shared printer, so it won't work with it.
You already have a laser printer that has its own Wi-Fi connection built in, so do you even need a separate router? If you don't, just plug your printer into the router with an Ethernet cable. That way, everyone on the network can print without extra work or worrying about turning things off and on again.
I've tried plugging in the ethernet wire, but I think the printer's port is broken. The router isn't seeing my device. My cord is definitely brand new too.
Do you want to make a new router or fix one that is already made? To check your computer, open Command Prompt and type "ipconfig /all" (don't worry about the quotes). Then paste those results here. For the printer, look at its settings page. Is there an IP address and subnet mask mentioned? Do they say if it connects via cable or wireless? Does their MAC address appear on this page?
