Brother MFC Printer Disappears From Network
I have a Brother MFC-795CW & I keep having a problem with the printer just disappering from my network. I have to do a power cycle for the printer to be re-recognized by my Mac. I have tried resettin...
Have you set up a reserved IP address ON the router for our printer or set a static IP address of 192.168.1.79 ON the printer?
I would uninstall and re-install the printer driver on the Mac. Make sure it's up to date.
Contact the Mfr of the printer for additional help and information on this as well.
No I havent setup a reserved IP but why should I do that? I never had to do that before..
Helps ensure the printer gets one same IP address each time it's turned on and doesn't change.
Hope it works better for you.
So for me, setting a static IP seemed to fix the problem. Thanks for the suggestion =)
Glad it's working better now. Enjoy.
