#193172 — printer with static ip address inaccessible from lan

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

The Samsung CLP-320 printer's static ip 192.168.1.139 was set about 10 
years ago to work on a lan using 192.168.1.x addresses. Last week the 
lan's router failed and was replaced with a Netgear r6700 router using 
192.168.2.x addresses. The printer is now inaccessible from the lan.

Cups Administration says the printer address can be set using its MAC 
address:


      Configuring the IP Address Using DHCP

The DHCP protocol is the usual way of setting the IP address of a 
printer on a managed network. Using the standard dhcpd(8) program 
supplied with UNIX you simply need to add a line to the /etc/dhcpd.conf 
file:

host/hostname/  {
   hardware ethernet/mac-address/;
   fixed-address/ip-address/;
}

Make sure that the hostname you use is also listed in the /etc/hosts 
file or is registered with your DNS server.

apt-cache search dhcpd finds udhcpd. My pc's system is Debian Stretch. 
There is a file /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf but no file /etc/dhcpd.

Is it possible to access the printer and change  its address to one in 
192.168.2.x or to reset it to use dhcp?

The daemon 'dhcpd' is package 'isc-dhcp-server'.

Can't you change the IP of your ISP router to use the subnet 192.168.1.*?

One way to change the IP of your printer would be to directly connect a 
computer to your printer and set a fix address on the computer in the 
same subnet as the printer.
Then you can change the IP of your printer.

Using the 'dhcpd' and 'named' ('isc-dhcp-server, isc-bind) is one option 
but 'dnsmasq' is a simpler way to do the same.

This is certainly the simplest solution but the Netgear Genie does not 
have this option even as an advanced setting option. I will contact 
Netgear by phone to discuss this possibility.

 From a web browser if you try to access 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.254 do 
you get a web interface?

If resetting the printer is an option I would do that.
Then you simply change the IP address given by the dhcp server in cups.

There's something wrong with your repository selection.
What you probably need is called "isc-dhcp-server". Or "dnsmasq". Both
can do "bind the lease to the MAC" trick.

The printer manual here - [1], page 36, talks about talks about some obscure
trickery involving the browser and html files in
/opt/Samsung/mfp/share/utils/.

I tried dnsmasq --dhcp-host=00:15:99:86:11:1F,CLP,192.168.2.13

and the response was "failed to create listening socket for port 53: 
Address already in use." Tried several other final two digits with the 
same result. I even tried 192.168.1.139, the address the printer prints 
out on its Network Configuration Report and got the same response.

Perhaps I don't understand or am using the wrong dnsmasq option?

See if you can ping the printer, using the ip the printer prints on 
self-test. From console, type

ping 192.168.1.13
or
192.168.2.13

(I haven't seen the next-to-last number being 2--maybe that's the problem.)

That means you've already got something else listening on the DNS port.
Use some command like lsof -i :53 (or ss or netstat) to find it.

If you can see that on the printers own display, go read the printers 
docs as I expect that can be changed to the correct subnet via the 
printers own control panel. That is the only way I have ever configured 
the higher end Brother I have other than cups but cups can't change 
that.

That is all there, starting on page 28 or 29, with the meat and potatoes  
on page 36.  And I suspect you will learn something about networking 
while following all that.

The printer has no physical control panel. I can only change the 
settings if I can reach it through its IP address.

Many printers will print a "self-test" or "configuration" page when
holding the "online" button for 5-10 seconds.

This particular printer prints a Network Configuration report (mac and
ip address) by depressing the cancel button (when the printer's in ready
mode) for five seconds or so.

There is a utility installed with the proprietary linux driver for
changing the printer's ip address.

If the proprietary driver hasn't been installed, there is a SyncThru™
Web Service embedded in the printer, which can be accessed via its ip
address (see above), that allows manual network configuration.

Enter the machine's IP address (http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in the address
field of your favorite browser and press the Enter key or click Go.

You have to log in as the adminstrator; default ID and password:

ID: admin
Password: sec00000

It's all in the docs.

(Hope I'm looking at the right printer).

I suppose if someone a decade ago created a login ID and password for
the web interface that the OP ignores, that could spell trouble.

Pretty sure most printers have a "forcibly reset" button combo too. On
my brother, it's "press and hold the big button on the corner whilst
turning on, hold for ~20 seconds". 

IIRC you know it's worked when it prints out a "default config" report.

Not this one. Factory reset is described in the manual, requires IP 
connection

Can't you just plug the printer locally to a PC, change manually the PC's 
network-address to 192.168.1.x, connect to the printer and change its IP to 
192.168.2.x. Then, of course, you will loose the connection, but the printer 
will be in the desired network. Don't forget to change IP-configuration of 
your PC, and connect to the router.

I think this should work. For the present I have moved on to other 
tasks. The printer has a usb connection to the pc so I can print as 
needed. Others on the lan cannot use the printer.

you can share the printer using cups.
The other on the LAN would use the IP of your cups server.

You could share the usb-connected printer via cups:
