Problems detecting printer
I've just done a clean install with Win7 Pro x64 and want to install my printer (Brother DCP-9045CDN), but so fare without any luck.
My printer is connected directly to my router (Zyxel P-2602HW) with an ethernet cable and the DHCP server in my router is active. The problem is that Windows doesn't detect the printer at all.
I've tried with Windows firewall both on and off, and UAC both on and UAC off. I've assigned an IP address in my router for my printers MAC address, and I have tried with the printer LAN config in both auto and static (with the specific IP address entered). I've tried to replace the ethernet cable. I've tried to install BRAdmin Light (a Brother network printing admin tool). According to Brother's how-to-succeed book then I'm doing everything right and it should work except it doesn't
I'm pretty sure it's me doing something wrong as it's the first time I'm trying to install a network printer. Hopefully somebody out there know's more about this stuff than me and can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
