Can't Print to Wired Printer from other Orbi Satellites
I have an Brother HL-3140CW laser printer conencted to an orbi satellite via USB in my office. If I am in another part of the house, I can't print to it. To get to to work, I need to go next to the s...
Yes but I was having issues (can't remember details, it was a while ago) so I went with a wired connection to try to simplify troubleshooting.
Be sure your PCs printer driver is correctly configured to print to the IP address the printer gets from the Orbi system. Check to see if the printer has a IP address from the router.
Connect the printer directly to the Orbi router and test printing.
I have a Mac and I don't see any way to get that kind of info in OSX.
Here is the info from the printer though.
Log into the Orbi' Web page using Safari browser and look to see if the printer is listed under Connected Devices.
Besure that the printer is set up correctly in OSX for the right driver and IP address of the printer. Refer to the printers Mfr support site for help and information regarding this.
When I look at attached devices, there is only 1 connected satellite shown. It is missing the one in my office that connects to the printer.
So maybe this is related to the other problem I had which I have not been able to fix. You were helping me with that as well.
