[Printer] Samsung CLX-4195FW Wireless Printing not working.

[James Bacon]

Hello!
First off, I am sorry if I posted this is the wrong category.
I have been having problems with my Samsung Wireless printer since we got it. We have 4 computers that always need to be able to print from any place in our home. The problem is the wireless keeps stopping. I can get it set up for a few months, then out of the blue, stops.

We first tried with the Disc, that worked but kept screwing up faster then our next solution was. That was to make it wireless using Windows, which worked, but still stops working.

I thought it may have been the IP changing but I made sure Static IP was enabled. Sometimes it pops up saying "Printer settings have changed" yet we haven't touched anything.


sorry if this makes no sense, it's just we needs this fixed. If you need more information I will try and provide it.

Occasional "stops" are annoying but just part of the wireless world due to interference, etc..

No immediate answer but the good news is that you have a lot of things to look at and check.

Any other wireless devices? Nearby wireless networks? Is your wireless network secured?

On your router did you reserve that static IP for the printer? Usually via the MAC address of the printer.

Also have the static IP outside of the allowed DHCP range that the router is permitted to assign.

Look at your router's logs to see what it may be able to report.

Explore "Printer settings have changed" - changes may not necessarily be network related. Some software application may be the reason.....

When the printer is working as expected print out any configuration/setting reports it may have. Print again when the printer stops. Compare the reports.

Just do not start changing things until you have something tangible and repeatable as the probable cause. Make one change at a time and be sure you know how to reverse the change beforehand.

Please post further findings or questions. Thanks.
