Brothers HL2270DW Printer Problem
I have a Brothers Laser printer Model HL2270DW. It is Hard wired with Cat5 wire(as well as my whole House) It worked Fine . Now it will not print infact the computer can’t fine it anymore. I have uninstalled the software /driver and reinstalled, still can’t find printe. I have replace the cable from the wall to the printer and from the switch to the Expention board.
I have a Router plus a switch. It is install peer to peer. And no computer on my home network can locate the printer. I have uninstalled the software on a laptop and reinstalled it using connect via USB. And it will print under this type of install.
Now a storm came thru the other day and the power keep going off and on my wife unplugged everything but forgot the printer. But printer will work on USB .
My main computer is connected on the network on the same switch, its still connects to internet I moved the pinter to a different plug didn’t affect it
Could the Ethernet part on the printer have burn out when the power went off and on. I have use a software IP address Finder and ran it,it does not locate my printer either. Anyone have any ideas of what to do next
