BleepingComputer.com: Networking Problems

I recently have had problems with my networking to the point I couldn't use my printers. I uninstalled them thinking I would simply do a reinstall and that would fix the problem.

When I go to reinstall it asks for a hardware address or IP address to reinstall and I can't find any of the info.

I have a HP1200, HP1220, HP450 printers going thru a LINKSYS print server.

I can go thru the network thru command prompt, find the printers and print test pages fine, but when I try to print it says it can't find the printers.

Please Help.

Thanks

I just went into command prompt again and typed:

\\SERVER\HP 1200

It said I need to set up the printer for my computer before I could use it and asked if I wanted to continue.

I clicked yes it browsed and set up the printer automatically on my computer and I printed a test page so it works fine.

The HP 1220 I've always had trouble printing to in fact Ive never been able to so this doesn't suprise me. I did the same thing I did with HP 1200 and it says \\SERVER\HP could not be found.

O.K. sorry for all the extra info. now the HP 450 works. I did the same thing went into command prompt and it automatically set it up. But the HP 1220 doesn't.

The HP 1220 is now working as well.

uuhh..what was the question?

My initial question was asked 9/15/5. I couldn't print to any of my printers and I couldn't reinstall my printers because I couldn't find the IP Address or the Hardware address.

Since I have had no type of response on how to find the information requested to reinstall the printers on my computer I'm just using the server instead.

Yeah, Basically everything I just said is on the origional post.

Confused??
