Sansung c460 printer attaches to wifi but isn't visible on network
My Samsung c460 printer attaches to the network, I can see it and its IP address from the router but no PC on my network can access it. Its status is offline. I'm not using the router's access control feature. I'm in a bind as I need to get some things out but can't print. Everything else seems to work fine but the printer. I tried to 'add' the printer from a win11 pc but it can't be found. I'd be ok playing with this on my own normally but as I said I'm in a bind and need to fix this quickly...

I realized where I went wrong; completely my fault. It had been so long that I'd configured my printer that I'd forgotten I'd 1( specified a static IP and 2) used a different subnet mask. Corrected these and now printer is visible network wide.
Haste makes waste.... please close this thread.

Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.
