Hi,
I have just installed QTR for the first time to use with my Epson 3880. Everything seems fine - my printer is connected via Ethernet but the install script found it OK with the IP address plugged in. However now I'm trying to print I'm getting "printer not responding". Any help much appreciated!

And I'm using a wireless 1430 with QTR on a Mac, as well.

No, I gave the printer a static IP, simply taking it out of the DHCP range. Andrew

I disagree that DHCP and bonjour are the safest bet. When a device loses its lease and has to renegotiate an IP address, it is possible that it will be given a new one, basically breaking your printing system. QTR is complicated enough to set up properly, with the printer name being important to its operation, that adding another complexity is not a good idea. Giving a printer a static IP is the only way to guarantee that it will always be where you put it. Andrew

Bonjour must do some magic. I have been using ethernet attached printers via Bonjour for years, and it has never missed a beat. In fact, it kept on working a couple of years back when my network numbering changed from 192.168.0 to 192.168.15.Anyway, I hope that this is helping the OP somewhere along the line.

It's not a LAN; it is a discovery protocol. If it works for you, great. I prefer to have devices at constant IP addresses. Andrew
