[opensuse] printer/scanner problem
Hope this is the right place for this: Have Epson WP-4530 printer/scanner/fax. This was once set up in PXLOS and worked perfectly. Somewhere I got instructions for setting up a static IP (192.168.1.26). That is no longer the address--the last number (nmap) is 159. I don't know how it got that way but I'd like to put it back, and then adjust CUPS to recognize the address. Right now I can't scan anything, and the only printer that works is a monochrome HP LaserJet. Someone out there knows how, I hope. Help, Please! Thanx--doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

That sounds like your printer might have reverted to using DHCP. I guess you have a DHCP server, maybe on a router or similar?

Put it back to the static configuration? you will need to access the printer configuration and change it there. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.8°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Per Jessen and jdd: I'm afraid I'm out of my depth here. It looks
like I could assign specific ip addresses for certain MAC addresses, but I don't believe I have ever done that. At any rate, it would not change the IP of the printer, which I wish to set back to 192.168.1.26. I believe that if the IP is static and set up in the computer, it will always find it. I have the installation information on the printer, but no details for setting the ip. It is very basic, and there are many more pages for getting the FAX set up than anything else, but I don't care about that--I just use the FAX as a dumb FAX machine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It is more possible for the printer to forget configuration and reset to defaults, than to change by itself the configured IP. And a reset to defaults would mean get the network configuration automatically from the router, ie, via DHCP protocol. There are probably guidance howtos out there on your particular router on how to do whatever. If it is a popular model, with photos or videos. At worst, take a photo and send it to us, and we tell the next step to click, one by one... would take long, of course. You need to obtain the MAC address of the printer first. This can be done on your computer, but this instant I don't remember how. nmap? Alternatively, find a howto document for your printer on how to set its IP. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

Epson is less than friendly to Linux. There is supposed to be a program for Windows "EpsonNet Config Utility" which I (thought) I downloaded in Windows 10, but it won't run. I'm really not familiar with Windows--I haven't really used it in 17 years--since I retired!

That is precissely what you can do at the router. You tell the router to give the printer always the same IP, namely 192.168.1.26. Done. :-) - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

rpm -q cups

That's not the normal version Leap 15.1 has. It is the one Tumbleweed uses, or Leap + Printing repo. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)

Yes, I'm running Tumbleweed. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
