I've always used this printer using USB, but now with more then 1 PC needing to use it, I cant get it to recognize the Network connection, using ethernet cable. Wireless might be option but would need to be able to find a compatible wireless antenna (If one exists )..

 

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated

Hi pakrat2k2,

I do not have this printer, but I can try help you out.

If you already has 1 PC connected using USB cable, and now you need to add 2nd PC using network printing. You can try the following.

NOTE: This may altered your existing printer topology.

NOTE2: Make sure you have correct OS printer drivers for ML-2251N. If both PCs are Windows10, make sure you have Windows10 ML-2251N driver downloaded.

Ok, since you already have 1 PC connected to printer over USB, you may need to uninstall your existing USB printer drivers and software. (Make sure you have original disc or compatible downloaded USB printer drivers.

Once uninstalled, unplug USB cable from your PC and reboot your PC.

Then, use an original disc or downloaded setup drivers to run the setup program. If your printer support Ethernet connection, you can choose Ethernet on your setup menu. Plug your network cable from printer to a network switch or router. Choose Ethernet on program and follow onscreen instructions. Once setup complete, print test page, make sure it works.

If it works, congrates, you can do the same to PC2 and should have no problem.

If it doesn't print, you may have to do some troubleshooting steps.
