1) Change Network settings

If your Macintosh computer has more than one network interface, or both the Ethernet and AirMac interfaces are being used, the APIPA protocol cannot bind itself to both network interfaces.

If you are using multiple networks and cannot print, try the following:

For Mac OS X 10.2 - 10.4 users:

1. From System Preferences, choose the Network icon.
2. Make sure that by Show it says: Network Port Configurations
3. Make sure that the Port Configuration order is set to include any remote networks that the printer may be connected to.

For Mac OS X 10.5 or later users:

1. From System Preferences, choose the Network icon.
2. Choose the network not used.
3. Choose Make Service Inactive from the action button under the window.
   
   
   

For example, if the printer is on a remote network and you have not configured your Macintosh OS system to communicate with that network, make sure that the TCP/IP settings in the Built-in Ethernet configuration are configured to communicate with different networks.

Also make sure that the appropriate Port configuration is active.

2) Configure a static IP address

Please consult a system administrator to get an IP address.
