How to add printer to the network ?

[happy2541]

Hello guys, I have a problem. In my office I got printer canon LBP5050n which is connected with LAN (RJ-45) cable to the Cisco SG100-24 24-Port Gigabit Switch and from this switch is one cable going to Cisco Meraki MX84 and from this meraki mx84 is going one cable to asus wifi router. How can I make it work ? so my other laptops in the room can connect on the printer and print ?

Btw the lan cable from switch is going to connector number 5 on this picture http://www.cloudwifiworks.com/images/Routers/MX84/mx84.png but left LED is flashing on green and right one is flashing on orange.

You install the printer on a shared resource, such as a server, and have everyone connect to it via that, or you install it as a local TCP/IP printer on every computer in the office. The first option is better.

I would like to install the printer as you described first option. Because we got on the top of the rack a monitor and keyboard and there is something like ubuntu command prompt

In that case, speak to your IT support person or hire a consultant to help you.

And what about the second option ?

Same; if you don't know what you're doing then find someone who does.

When you print a configuration page from your Epson does it have an IP address? Or check the LCD display if it has one (don't feel like googling it now)

This is some pretty heavy duty hardware for someone who sounds like they need to talk to their IT person about, who knows the configuration!

That Meraki most probably isolates WiFi network from your "internal" network, making the printer (and probably, other workstations) inaccessible for WiFi clients.
