Computer XP versus, Brother printer with the IP address of the old computer inside info.

my daughter has a 'new' xp windows computer, but still has its old brother mfc printer.  the printer prints the computer because its IP address is from his old computer. I have tried everything and you can't change the numbers mask IP, gateway or subnet on the printer in the menu.

can someone help me?   PLEASE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, THANK YOU

I contacted the brother who was a 6 hour ordeal to get no. WHERE.  online, it says hit the + button until NETWORK appears, there no + key!

I can copy documents without any problems.

also the scroll on the mouse does not scroll while she has to slide to the bottom of a page to read slowly.

Thank you!!!

If the computer is connected with a USB cable (which is what you describe), then IP addresses of the computer and the printer are simply not relevant to the printer connection.  The printer's IP address is used ONLY if the printer is connected to a network using an Ethernet cable (which is the picture above in my previous post).

Now that we know what is wrong, we will try to understand why the printer does not print.

Probably the easiest way to proceed is to uninstall the printer (assuming that it has never been installed, which seems dubious) and then reinstall it.

I'm going to assume that you don't have the CD that came with the printer (if you do not have the CD, see pages 16 to 18 of the Quick Start Guide).

The following instructions are "Article One" of Cori Bright (http://www.coribright.com/windows/Article_One.htm) which unfortunately seems to be offline at the moment:

  1. Unplug the printer from the PC
  2. Go to the control panel and click on Add/Remove programs.  Highlight any printer software that is listed here.  Select Remove.  (Note that simply delete the Brother here software)
  3. In Control Panel, click printers & faxes.  Right click on the printer in question and select delete
  4. Look at the toolbar.  Select the file, then server properties. Look in the tab drivers.  Highlight the printers drivers listed here and click on remove for each one.  [(Notez que vous n'avez pas à supprimer les pilotes pour les autres imprimantes).]

    4. Note that brother has a 'Uninstall tool' which should perform steps 2 to 4.  I have no experience with this tool, that's why I gave you the manual steps above.  I provided the link to be complete, not because I think that you need to use this tool: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/dlf/000000/002700/dlf002701.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc440cn_all&type2=2&os=7&flang=4&dlid=dlf002701

  5. Restart the PC. Do NOT reconnect the printer!
  6. Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer.  Search for new XP drivers for your model.  Download the correct software.  If there is no Windows XP drivers for your printer, try to watch those for Windows 2000.  In most cases, these will do almost as well.  For the Brother MFC-440CN, go here--> http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public/us/us/en/dlf/download_index.html?reg=us&c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc440cn_all&dlid=&flang=English&os=7&type2=-1 download the file named "Full Driver & Software Package."  Make sure that you are connected as a user with "Computer administrator" privileges before you do the next step.
  7. Run the exe that you just downloaded.  He has auto-démarrer Setup
  8. The software will tell you when to connect the printer.
  9. Once the software is installed and the printer connected, try a test page.  He should feel great now!

  • Brother printer and the scanner does not work after Windows Update.

    Separated from this thread.

    I have the same problem with my Brother ADS2000 scanner and my multi MFCJ4710.  I can print with the MFC, but the Control Center detects or scanners.  They worked and suddenly stopped.  I wonder if Windows update changed something?  Scanners both work with Windows Fax and Scan, but not Brother Control Center 4.  I called support of brother and again, they have said something about TWAIN and I have to do some registry clean.  I tried their manual steps, they sent with the registry fixes and which totally screwed up on my computer.  I had to do a restore and now back to square one.

    Any solution out there?

    It was my dose,

    (1) start search box type menu "user accounts".

    (2) open and select "user account control settings."

    (3) to change the cursor to "never notify".

    (4) 'ok' to save

    (5) fact! You may need to restart you machine.

    PS: this was my fix, it was caused by software AVG anti-virus, AVG has replaced this setting and would fail to wireless for my scanner. It will be useful.

  • HPO D5560 not print with the black print cartridge

    Having a D5560 printer which stopped printing with the black cartridge.

    Thought it was the cartridge has installed a new (only use HP cartridges) no difference

    After thinking the Black just stopped - no phasing-out quality, etc..

    Ran the cartridge filter (all levels of cleaning) no difference

    Print well if I remove the black cartridge so that the Tricolor print black but it's only good to work around the problem

    I use this on Windows 8.1. It worked fine for months

    Can't think that I had installed recently HP driver updates

    I have a hardware problem?

    Thanks for any input

    See you soon

    Geoff

    OK, so it's weird.

    Just thought to connect my netbook windows 7 into the printer.

    It print very well with the black print cartridge.

    Sent a work computer Windows 8.1 and now prints fine in black of the black cartridge.

    Problem solved, but I'm losing the plot!

  • How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    My old laptop has ceased to exist. How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    If the installation provided with your Windows computer discs was preinstalled on the computer - it is OEM and cannot be moved. You can move Windows to another computer if you buy the retail version.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Have two old CD/DVD with the old movies of family 8mm on them.  When I try toopen them I get a statement that ' cannot they in format Samsung "suggestions?

    Have two old CD/DVD with the old movies of family 8mm on them.  When I try toopen them I get a statement that ' cannot they in format Samsung "suggestions?

    that is a difficult question. Try VLC to see if it will open to them. Usually when the disc appears on the desktop, if you click on it and let go, then press the clover sheet and I (get info command), you should be able to choose which application/program can open them. I have not already heard talk of the "samsung" format, I know there is a stranger there (lie format MTS from Sony). Regarding the conversion of them, maybe MPEG streamclip or hand brake? worst case scenario, you may need to spend some money to buy a video conversion app/program

  • Skype account is always available with the old user name and password after you bind Microsoft account

    https://support.Skype.com/en/FAQ/FA12081/how-do-i-sign-in-to-Skype-for-Windows-desktop-with-my-micro...

    After my new account Microsoft a link to my original Skype account, I'm still able to sign into account newly merged with the old Skype account username and password. Of course, I am also able to connect to the account merged with the Microsoft Mail and as well password account.

    My question is this, is this a planned security measure? As far as I know, support faq suggested using the Microsoft account to connect to the newly merged account. The support page is in the link given.

    I thought that once the merger of Skype accounts both Microsoft, the only method to sign the merged account is using the Microsoft account only. Please enlighten me on this matter. Thank you.

    This works as expected. When you link a Microsoft account with Skype account name, you should be able to connect to Skype, either by using Skype or Microsoft account name. Two connection options will lead to the same account.
