Rex,

Didn't have any DDR3 sticks but I have a question.  I had all my OS set up to my wireless printer but now they don't work so I set my wife's Windows OS via a USB wired cord to the printer.  Question I have is can I set the other 2 OS systems to a wireless connection?  I know I can use a LAN connection from the printer to a cable network in back of the router but I'm not sure how that works.  That would leave me with one computer OS left to make a hook up to.  I hope this makes sense.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Ron Y.

From Teruel deCampo MD · Mar 16, 2022

Ron,

You said you had all the OS connected wireless to you printer and now
they do not work, correct? I would try to fix that instead of creating
a whole new "system"

1. Which Printer?

2. What type of wireless connection did you have?
1. LAN?
1.1 Fixed IP?
1.2 DHCP?
1.3 Can you ping the printer?
2. Direct Wireless?
1.1 Direct Wireless in ad hoc connection wireless between 2
devices. AFAIK Wireless Direct broadcast in a different subnet than the
one use the the printer is connected through the Ethernet (?)
1.2 Direct Wireless is enable by default. You can have both
enable at the same time or have one of the two off. Direct Wireless
requires a password!
3. Cloud Printing but this is a new bag of worms so most likely
it is not your case.

Re: March Ubuntu Hour

From Ron Yonker · Mar 18, 2022

Teruel or whoever,
 
Printer is Brother MFC-J825DW.  Used manual configuration on control panel on printer by pressing Menu, then press Network, then press WLAN, then setup Wizard & ultimately put in Network name(SSAID) & NETWORK key(password).  Then I press "Yes" to connect machine using WPS.  Ultimately the wireless symbol shows on the control panel of printer.  I used a CD ROM to install printers & software on each computer.  But each of 3 computers showed printer "offline.  Since nothing worked I installed the wire connection mentioned before on my wife's computer.  Another question is can I keep my wife's connection & do wireless connection to the other 2.

Thanks,
Ron Y.

Re: March Ubuntu Hour

From Devi Garcia · Mar 19, 2022

why are you hitting yes for WPS and not just manually putting in the SSID and password into the printer to connect to the wifi.. that's what i do for my printer(s) i never mess with the WPS option... and if you got atleast one computer working with the printer you should also ultimately be able to "Share" that printer from the settings with other PCs over the network as well.. but i'm not 100% certain.. that works over different OS's or if thats just for windows...

Ron,

Print a report that will us.

a Press Menu.
b Press a or b to display Print Reports and then press Print Reports.
c Press a or b to display WLAN Report and then press WLAN Report.
d For MFC-J825DW/J835DW and DCP-J925DW
Press Black Start or Color Start.
Press Star

Post it.

The IP should be there.

Then using this IP open a terminal and ping

#ping 192.168.xxx.xxx and it will tell you if the printer is available
in your lan and if your OS does not block it (firewall?)

Re: March Ubuntu Hour

From Ron Yonker · Mar 21, 2022

Devi, Teruel & others,

With different people's input like yours & others I appreciate so I went back to the Brother's booklet I have & saw the different directions the printer control panel went from lets say after letter b to point c, d, e or f depending on what the situation was.  I should bring this with me to a meeting to show everybody.  I think you are right about WPS.  I think I'm going in the right direction now as I did have success with my Linux OS in getting the printer to work & I will be checking on the Mac OS in a day or two. 

Thanks to all,
Ron Y.
