HELP! Educate me on loading my printer with a Static I.P.

[catapultit]

Administrators-

My name is David and i am the I.T. administrator for Catapult Learning in Jacksonville. We have 7 facilities here in jacksonville that all operate independantly as far as the network is concerned. (no server)

We run Comcast buisness class routers (cg3000dcr) with a Asus wireless router (rt-n12). Everyone in the facility runs LAN except for a few staff members that operate wireless and bounce from facility to facility, as well as any visitors.

Previously we had ATT NG512 routers and we had the printers setup at each facility running the same static ip address...192.168.1.131

Please tell me how i can get this setup back...it doesnt have to be the old static but all printers need to have the same static.

Hi

If the facilites are not network connected, you'll have a individual DCHP device within each facility? Can you not set each printer to the same static IP address within each DCHP router setup? If this isn't an option, can you tell me what printers you are using?

we are using Muratec mfx 2350's...

can you educate me on where to go to test the setup in the router. I believe the statics i posted
are public statics addressed by comcast but ive been told that i should just use a private static.

You have two options either set a static IP Address on each printer - See section 1-11 in http://www.muratec.com/downloads/manuals/mfx-2350_mfx-2850_english_pcuserguide.pdf (Make sure it is out of the allocatable IP address range in your router - if it worked before I expect that this is the case.)

Or in each router - Can you confirm your router model again, I can't find any user guide.
