Unable to get network connection working - on printer settings report Ethernet Settings show as Unknown (Auto). Printer works fine on USB but does nothing when connected via ethernet cable - lights do not even flash on router to show there's a connection between the two
First of, the ethernet must be 'on'. If dhcp available, set it to auto (or dhcp.. anyways..) and let it reboot, just in case :)
if not, try setting the IP-setting yourself. They should be somewhat similar to the settings on your local computer(s).
To add the printer to your computer, select 'Local' printer and specify 'tcp/ip' as which port its connected to. In the new window the ip to the printer should be entered. :) (at least for XP this is..)
Hope this gave you the correct solution..

Tried all that before - when connecting ethernet port on printer to router there should at least be some form of connection between the 2 - no lights flash on router. Beginning to wonder if printer even has a live ethernet port.
