Kyocera KM-3050 driver via network cable

[Pajo]

Hello.

I was having trouble today connecting my Kyocera to a new computer. All I have is the network cable.

I downloaded the drivers and tried to install but it doesn't recognise the machine.

When I print network status page it says printer ip is 0.0.0.0. I tried entering only hostname but no luck.

I tried with tcp/ip on/off, dhcp on/off.

Don't know what to do anymore.

I could manually enter ip, subnet and default gateway but I have no idea what to enter.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Pajo.

Re: Kyocera KM-3050 driver via network cable

Are you just connecting directly from the copier to the PC via a network cable with no router?

If so you need to manually set both the copier, and the computer so that they are on the same IP range. You can use the following or just treat it as an example.

Copier
IP - 192.168.1.100
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1

Computer
IP - 192.168.1.110
Subnet - 255.255.255.0
Gateway - 192.168.1.1

For the cost, I really would just buy a router though but the above will get you printing.

There is just a hub, so that more network cables can be connected to the computer.

So it's just a switch? What else is connected up, as changing the settings may break the connection to other devices?

Switch yes.

There is just one more printer, Konica Minolta.

So this is the most basic of networking.

1) Go to a computer on the network > open the Command Prompt > and type: ipconfig/all then press Enter. Write down that computer's

For example:
IP address: 192.168.0.200
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS1: 192.168.0.1
DNS2: 8.8.8.8

2) Choose an IP address +/- a few digits in the last octet, for example: 192.168.0.202 (between 1 and 254)
Check to see if the address is currently in use (preferably not). In your Command Prompt screen type: ping 192.168.0.202 -t (or whatever address you selected), then press Enter.
If you get a response like: Reply from 192.168.0.202: bytes:32 time<1ms TTL=255
That means that that address is already in use.
If you get a response like: Request timed out.
That means that address is unused, and available for use at your MFP.

3) At your MFP make sure that it's set to Static IP, and TCP/IP is ON. Enter the available IP address, Subnet, etc.:

For example:
IP address: 192.168.0.202
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS1: 192.168.0.1
DNS2: 8.8.8.8

Power Off/On.

4) Check to see if the MFP is now connected. In you Command Prompt screen type: ping 192.168.0.202 -t (or whatever address you selected), then press Enter.
If you get a response like: Reply from 192.168.0.202: bytes:32 time<1ms TTL=255
That means that that address connected to your MFP.
If you get a response like: Request timed out.
That means that address is not connected to your MFP.

5) Load your print driver. If the printer is not discovered you can specifically request the driver to look for the specific IP address.

Start there. =^..^=

In that case, what IP is the Konica on?

The computer will be in the same range as the Konica, so you need to put the Kyocera in the same range (keep everything the same apart from the last number in the IP).

Great guys, thank you for all the help.

Will do everything you told me tomorrow when I come to work.

I will let you know if it worked.

Thanks again.

It'll work. Like BlackCat says, it's networking basics so you'll be fine.

In an earlier thread a guy was asking for help with a konica C248e and he was honest to point out that he tried to repair the machine and messed up. He called in techs who he said could not fix it. He got a few replies suggesting he get professional help.
Am i detecting here that Mr. Pajo is not a tech also, but works for a company that he is trying to get help in getting his company machine setup. I am saying this, because of his inital statement of
"I was having trouble today connecting my Kyocera to a new computer. All I have is the network cable".

The way i see it is , what is for peter must be for paul in terms of non-techs on the forum. I think there are lots of end user disguised as techs and post with disguise. The question is really, does non-techs get help or no ? need answer for this.
hope i have not offended anyone.

Hey, you got me mistaken there for someone else.

I did as you told me and it works great!

Thank you for everything, both printers work great.

No Mr. Pajo i was not mistaken. So tell us, your company sent you out get a computer connected to a copier, and you did not know what to do. The guys here pointed out a few very basic things that a tech who is doing connectivity would do and you followed there instructions and your problem is solved. what does that tell me. Now if you are a tech indeed, just fill us in with a few minor infor, like what model you were trained on and what year you started in the business.
And we would expect you to chip in now and again and help out others who are having problems that you may know the answers for. I see you just joined, but you did not give any credentianls in the profile section so don't know who you are really.
Not beating on you, but the forum is for techs helping other techs as far as i understand it and not for ticks, though there might be exceptions.

Re: Kyocera KM-3050 driver via network cable

Maybe the general consensus differs from my opinion but I have no problem helping anyone actively seeking help and not blatantly trying to misrepresent who they are, with the stipulation that whatever help I'm providing is for non-invasive work. If it requires disassembly and there is room for error from a non-techie, then some disclosure has to be made about proceeding at their own risk. Beyond that, I haven't really put that much thought into it.

Your above quote was and to an extent my general consensus of how i approach the forum. What i have observed is that non techs in return for the help they get, generally would contribute in some way as maybe financially or donate. This is not obligatory but of their own gratitude. What i may have issues with are, people not showing gratitude in replying as to if the solution suggested, solved their problem or not. feedbacks are good as it encourages techs and also verify their tech ego skills.
I drive a lexus and i do not go to a dealer for service as for the parts and service cost. I take the risk in a lot of DIY and seek the forums avaliable on the net and gets by with my local mechanic.
I have heard many times that the forum is for techs helping techs, but anyone can join in so that makes fair play for anyone to ask questions and get help too. senior guys lets hear the rules or how it goes.

Hey guys...

I really am confused, have no idea what are you about

Just a guy from Slovenia working in book making business...

We were thinking about ditching Kyocera but there was still a lot of toner left and we decided to hook it on and use it for test prints. There was trouble connecting it and I looked for help here...

That is all, I swear.
