It's currently USB to the WinXP computer, because I needed to print lots of work things. But it's also hooked in to the ethernet.
It might be best to unplug the USB before you start troubleshooting the network.
You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I can't get the "I accept" button to come up on Tumblr. The panel ends at the tickybox, and I can't move the page up or down to scroll the button up to click it. I have a help ticket in to the support email, but so far no reply, other than they got it. I'd be grateful for a clue.

Okay, ne'mind. I used Explorer, logged in, the accept button came up, and I'm in. Sometimes oblique is better.

I don't know what to tell you, Sophia--if the helpdesk gets back to me, I'll pass on their advice--best I can do. Sorry!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
But that way you have to know what the MAC address of your printer is to work out which one it is, or click on all the MAC addresses if your DHCP server software does a lookup...
Well, okay. I mean, I have a little list with all the MAC addresses of all my devices, and they're named anyway, so I'd just have to look at the one without the LoTR theme, but I realize everyone is not me.
Printing a network setup page should only be a few clicks deep.
And yes. Fine, this is probably simpler. Heh.
But yes, since it is also possible to share a printer that's hooked up to a computer that's on your network, but that's not the way you will prefer to do it in the future, when you're troubleshooting, hook it up only to the the ethernet.

And it doesn't work in either of those?

All devices don't report their names, though, so it can take some research. If the device knows its IP address, I usually just ask it directly.
Metaphorically speaking.

Sometimes zooming out on/shrinking the screen will make a button visible and selectable even though you could not scroll to it before.
