[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1919098, member: 396914"] For printing through a network (Ethernet), there needs to be some single device managing the IP numbers for each device. Typically that is the router to which the devices are connected. And also typically, that router is also the device that connects to the outside network provided by your internet service provider (ISP). So the ISP device handles the IP addresses in the internal network in your house through a process called DHCP. Your Mac asks for an IP from the DHCP Server, and the printer also asks for a number from the DHCP Server. Then the print dialog works by clicking on the globe icon and entering the printer's IP number as the address for the Mac to use to connect to the printer. Or the printer will support Bonjour protocol and the Mac will negotiate the connection through that to allow you to add the printer. What you have described so far has not disclosed where the DHCP server is. Is the "hub" you described connected to your ISP interface? [/QUOTE]
