I did shut off PCmatic & firewall. At the printer, the ip is 192.168.1.22
I am stumped
If the printer is 1.122 and the computer is 1.12
they should ping

I think I'm good on lap & desktop. On desktop, not sure if reboot worked alone or if I uninstalled printer, rebooted then reinstalled! But it's printing! On laptop. Uninstalled, reinstalled a few times from device manager. Sometimes it would print but some not, funny it printed some test pages! I found my lexmark set up program the other day (was backing up to upgrade to W11) so ran it. Not sure if I had printer installed at that point (I've been at it for couple hrs). But the printer is printing full pages now, phew. Now, the printer is not showing in device manager. I wanted to see what driver it's using. Where can I find that?
printer info not in device manager
Go to printers via control panel
Right click on printer
left click on printer properties
Click on advance tab
Driver is listed
I think upgrading to w11 is risky
Lots of problems
tooooooooo new a system
The driver shows the printer name, not the file name. Ya, I risked it!
That is the driver
In control panel click on printer
click on Print server properties - Top of screen
click on drivers tab
double click on printer name
Are you upgrading to win 11?
Ok, I see them but I didn't look there before all this mishmash, the all lex drivers. When in device mgr before, the driver was oem92.inf. But since printer not in DM, can't see what would be listed. Yes I upgraded yest.
printer not in device manager
Correct, no in other devices either
Sorry
What I mean is printer info does not normally show in device manager
Open device manager
click on View>show hidden devices
This only time in all my years that printer is not in DM.. Yes, no printers hidden. No big deal now, it's working and hopefully won't have to go through this Bs again!
