Troubleshooting:
Problems with a network-attached printer can have numerous causes. Make sure that your device has a proper IP address.
Often you can check the IP address by triggering the self-test of the device. As a next step try to send text
manually to the device. You could use for example:
::
echo "OK\n" | nc IPADDRESS 9100
# the port number is often 9100
As a last resort try to reset the interface of the printer. This should be described in its manual.
