Wifi printer forbidden

English Network/Internet

You should see, which IP the printer is using.
Thats be done by checking the printers Information page (maybe) or can be done in the Routers menu.

You could also see, which IP is used in your network when installing fping and using as root:

fping -g 192.168.0.0/24 2>/dev/null | grep alive
22

Ok, but you haven’t yet reported the assigned IP address. That can be got from the information page or by examining the router’s list of connected devices. Help us help you! :slight_smile:

If nmap is installed, you could undertake a scan of your LAN…

nmap 192.168.0.0/24

or targeted port scan like this…

nmap -p 9100,515,631 192.168.0.0/24
24

From section “Network Information” of the printer information page:

IP address of the printer: 192.168.0.16
Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Printer URI: ipp://192.168.0.16./ipp/printer

From section “Wireless Network Information”:

IP Address: 192.169.0.1

(sic! 169, not 168).

Broken router firmware?
Try to update it.

Guys, thanks for help, it seems that I have solved the issue.

  1. I pushed the connection-diode button on the printer for 10 sec. - printer information page was printed, with the new URI (with 0.13 in it).
  2. I added the driver manually in YAST, by typing the URI (ipp://192. … ), choosing drivers for Samsung ML-2160 series.
    And the printer has been successfully added - it accepts printing tasks flawlessly.

Somehow, auto detecting of the printer got down (it worked in the past), but manual printer installation, by typing the address in YAST made it.

cheers

Good to read of your success. Thanks for the update.
