Epson EPL N2750 Network configuration. Solution found.

Hi guys, I am struggling with this.
I have the printer connected via ethernet cable to the router, but the router is not detecting the printer in the connected dhcp lan clients list, router is a cheap nasty Talktalk D-Link DSL 2680, but I don't think that is the problem.
I am running linux at the moment I have the printer IP from a service printout 192.168.101.227
I am running the default network IP on the router 192.168.1.1.
I don't know how to change the IP on the printer. Installing wine so I can install the printer drivers and software to see if that helps.
Does anybody have any experience with this type of printer?
I tried typing the printer IP into the printer setup program in linux but it's not finding it.

I don't know about that printer but has it got a display and a menu button?

Yes it does have a display panel, but there in no way to manually assigning an IP address.

From the IP address you quote, it doesn't look like one it allocated itself due to a DHCP failure.

You could change the router to have an address range of 192.168.101.XX and then the printer would at least be within the router subnet.

I guess you got the printer second hand. The address probably fitted in the previous owners scheme.

I got it sorted...
Installed EpsonNet winAssist in wine and it detected the printer, I reconfigured the IP then did another search with the printer wizard in linux and it found the drivers automatically....
Printing a test page now, fingers crossed!

Yup good to go.
