Printer won't connect
Time Warner gave me a new modem and now I can't connect my Brother wireless printer to the network. The router is wired to my destop and I can't logon to it (IP 192.168.1.1) from the desktop. However...
Elaine,
Thanks for your reply. I have resolved this. For whatever reason, my network will not recognize my printer from my desktop. I connected a USB cable from the desktop to the printer and it prints. My network does recognize my printer from my laptop. My printer does print wirelessly from my laptop. That my desktop is eight years old probably has something to do with it.

If it was the new modem that broke things, maybe that is where you need to look for solutions.
What is the modem? Is it also trying to act like a router?
Have you been through the troubleshooting steps on page 21 of the setup guide?

You might also want to tell people about the printer. Someone may have one and can provide informed guidance on where to look.
Thanks for your reply. The modem is a Ubee.
I have not been through the trouble shooting steps. I will do that.

And the printer model?
Sorry.
