http://serverfault.com – I have a netgear WGR614 v8 and a Brother HL-2270DW wireless printer. Yesterday I flashed the router with DD-WRT firmware. now my printer will not connect. printer error page says "Connection : Failed (Error : TS-07) The machine cannot detect a WLAN access point/router that has WPS or AOSS enabled. In the "SES / AOSS / EZ-SETUP / WPS Button" section of my router control panel I enabled "turning off radio". I disabled the router firewall. I connected the printer directly to the router with a network cable. There is no evidence of any communication between the printer and router that I can (HowTos)

Stories similar to router will not connect to printer

I have a Netgear WNDR4500 wireless router which allows me to print wirelessly to a printer connected to it via a USB cable.

Hi,

We have 3 computers with windows xp installed and two canon ir2200-ir3300 printer all connected through a router box. Each computer and each printer has ip addresses. It was configured like tcp ip enabled printer inside the local printer option. Each windows system can see both printer with ip and can select them to print.

Now we want to try ubuntu in one of the system.

My current set up is as such:

WIndows/Arch Linux dual-boot PC connected by USB cable to Canon PIXMA MP640 printer. I have a laptop with Xubuntu installed which I am trying to connect to the printer by Wi-Fi. Both the desktop PC and the laptop are connected to a Linksys modem/router by ethernet and wireless respectively.

Linksys router question 1 year 19 weeks ago

Hi

I have very basic network settings in my home. Cable connected to my Linksys Wireless G router. My wife and I connect to that using our laptop. Yes. I did enable encryption to connect. Also my wireless printer is connected to that.

For some reason, last night around 12:30 AM, the printer acted like it was going to print. Then it didn't print any thing. Again it did that one hour later.

Maybe not a Ubuntu specific question, but I'm not sure.

I have a linksys wireless router (WRT160N). Connected wireless to the router is my laptop (running Ubuntu) and a wireless HP printer.

I've already blown over 1/2 day on this. I keep checking and rechecking my router settings and they agree with what the documentation says for my brand new HP4620 printer. Supposedly I just tell the router to listen for connections and tell the printer to connect. It fails every time!
