Brother HL 2270DW Problem
I have had this Brother HL 2270DW printer for years now.
It can be connected via USB or CAT5 (wired or wireless). I really thought I had it connected via CAT5 (to my router). Anyway, it has been printing just fine from my W7 PC. I have just created W10 on a second PC, and tried to install the printer on that PC, and discovered how the printer had been connected. So, the installation via CAT5 would not (could not) work. I connected the printer via USB to the W10 PC and it installed and printed just fine. My problem is - if I want to switch between PCs. and print therefrom, I have to manually plug/unplug the USB cable, mainly because the printer only has one USB port. I have tried uninstalling the printer on both PCs, disconnected the USB, and connected the printer to my router via CAT5. The installer will not recognize the printer presence on either PC). I checked and the little printer LED for CAT5 connection is not lit up. Nor is the LED on the router). Ohoh. (The LED for the USB port does light up when the USB cable is connected.) Does this mean my printer CAT5 port is bad? I think maybe. Can anyone suggest anything I might try? Thanks Me |
