Ethernet: problem connecting to printer
I have an elderly Mac Pro and an HP laser printer, both normally connected to a router via Ethernet. Everything has worked perfectly for years. However I have changed the router as part of a broadband upgrade, and the Mac Pro can no longer find the printer. I think this is due to the printer having a fixed IP address and the router being set up for DHCP.
So I have now plugged the printer directly into an Ethernet port on the Mac, but the Mac will still not connect. The Mac has been restarted; printer removed from the printer list, power cycled and re-added to the list. System Preferences > Network says the Ethernet connection is "Active", which I assume means the physical connection is OK.
What have I missed?
