Well first, what procedure did you follow to attach the printer?Did you just plug it in? Or did you configure anything on the printer for network?
Just pluged it in
The procedure for the network setup on your printer is as follows:1. Press the Setup button.2. Press the arrow keys until Network is highlighted, then press OK.3. Select Advanced Setup, then select Link Speed.4. Press the number next to the link speed that matches your network hardware (This can be found on your router. If you don't know how to get it, first try Automatic):• 1. Automatic• 2. 10-Full• 3. 10-Half• 4. 100-Full• 5. 100-HalfTo View IP settings• Color display: To view the IP address of the device from the control panel, pressthe Setup button, select Network, select View Network Settings, and then selecteither Display Wired Summary or Display Wireless Summary.• Two-line display: To view the IP address of the device, you must print the networkconfiguration page. To Change IP settingsThe default IP setting for the IP settings is Automatic, which sets the IP settingsautomatically. However, if you are an advanced user, you might want to manuallychange the IP address, subnet mask, or the default gateway.CAUTION: Be careful when manually assigning an IP address. If you enter aninvalid IP address during the installation, your network components will not be ableto connect with the device.1. Press the Setup button.2. Press the arrow keys until Network is highlighted, and then press OK.3. Select Advanced Setup, select IP Settings, and then select Manual IP Settings.4. Press the number next to the IP setting:• 1. IP Address• 2. Subnet Mask• 3. Default Gateway5. Enter your changes, and then press OK.If you run into trouble here, remember that your printer can be configure to be pretty smart. Set it to automatic. Then reboot.After that, see if you can see it on your network.You will have to map the printer differently that a local printer. Let me know if you don't know how to do this._______________________________________________________________________Thank you for your question. If my answer helped at all, please accept.
