CAX80 - Printer not showing in list of attached devices

Basically as the title says.

I have a CAX80 and the printer is a Canon Color Image CLASS MF644Cdw

My printer doesn't show in Attached Devices even though I know it is connected. I can print, ping it, and log into the printer's admin console using the IP.

I want to create a static IP entry in my CAX80 but I cannot since the printer isn't showing up in the attached devices list.

Anyone know whats going on?

   Firmware version?

   Do you mean an (IP) Address Reservation?

   "cannot" because you don't know the printer's MAC address, or some
other reason?

 

> Anyone know whats going on?

 

   Buggy router firmware?


   I'd try restarting the printer, and/or restarting the CAX80, to see
if the printer will appear in the Attached Devices report. If that
fails, then I'd see if I could get the printer's MAC address in some
other way.

   I know nothing about your printer, but I'd guess that someplace in
its "admin console" you might be able to find its wireless-network MAC
address.
