Nothing happens. Just another blank line with a command prompt.

Look in your Network menu for the program called PeasyPort.

Scan your entire IP range 192.168.2.0-254 for Port 9100.

Then repeat for Port 515.

Do you have the Puppy firewall running?

I pasted the following into the PeasyPort IP window: 192.168.2.0-254
I put 9100 into the Port window and hit scan which gave no result.
I then put 515 into the Port window and hit scan which again gave no result.

I never enabled the firewall but not sure how to check to see if it is running.

If you start your web browser and enter the address "192.168.2.1", does that take you to your router?

Do you still have Ubuntu installed? Its printer setup might give you some hints about where your J4450 is hiding on the network.

The printer worked with Ubuntu when connected to the computer but not when connected to the router.

Thanks,

I think it's a dead duck. My daughter's Windows 7 laptop could only connect with the networked printer after installing the Belkin software from the install CD. Otherwise, when I boot into Windows XP on my computer, the networked printer is not identified. I am sure if I installed the Belkin software it would be recognized but I rarely boot into Windows XP anymore since the Puppy is so much faster. I greatly appreciate the help I received here because if I need to print, at least I know I can do it now by directly plugging the printer into my computer. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing something simple that would've allowed me to use the printer when networked. Thanks again!
