    Does anyone know how to do this.  The printer is a Canon MX850 with ethernet port but canon tell me that the print has no IP address assigned to it. So hopw do you go about to do this assign a IP address. Would like to connect it to a network of two computers through a wireless router.
    Computers are my hobby and my income love working with computers

      You'll need to access the router and assign the IP there, then use the software that came with the printer to configure it in your computers. At least that's how I had to set up my Xerox printer on my network.
