Printer IP Adress

I have a Epson cC900 laser and I have it connected to my modem/router.
The lights on the router are on as are the lights on the NIC? on the
printer.

Apparently I need the IP address to I can add new printer.

I have downloaded and tried just about every piece of software on Epsons
site 'netconfig', 'winassist' etc but all I get is 'searching'.
Has anyone any pointers to how I can make this easier?
Should I be able to see the printer in explorer under networks?

Any advice appreciated.

If it's like my Samsung laser, connected to the network via a print
server....

You can't see the printer as a separate device under 'networks'. I think
that option refers to printers connected to PCs and then shared.

You need to either know the default IP address of the printer or set it
to a value you select. You can set the printer IP address on the actual
printer control panel, as explained in the manual.

The Lexmark software does a similar search thing, but it doesn't seem to
work well. Once I set the server to a specific IP address then I could
connect to it.

Have you got File and Printer Sharing added to the list of exceptions
for Windows Firewall?

Well after reading that I will give EpsonNet easy install a go, I have been
trying with EpsonNet Config.
Fingers crossed.
Cheers,

As John said , the printer has to have an IP address assigned inside it
first , either manually via the front panel buttons, or possibly using a
remote utility (never done it this way).

Once it has an IP address, then you should be able to find it on the
network.

This printer has no buttons.

Hmmm... seems like the manual I referred to before was one for several
Cxxxx series printers, some of which do have a control panel.
It would appear that your C900 does not have network connectivity as
standard, and this is provided by an add-in card. Unfortunately Epson
don't have the manual for the card on-line. Do you have it? Does that
give any help. Maybe a default IP address, and a way to reset the card
to defaults?

I found this :
http://support.epson.ru/products/man...ef_g/opt_4.htm says " See
"EpsonNet WebAssist" in Chapter 10 of Administrator's Manual shipped with
C12C82391. " the ethernet interface card.

I assume it is an Aculaser C900 -
http://support2.epson.net/manuals/en...EF_G/GET_2.HTM
and
http://support2.epson.net/manuals/en...EF_G/INDEX.HTM
..

The online reference guide is a bit sketchy.
