The printer is configured with the following:
IP Address: 192.168.1.50
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
One thing I have noted is that when the computer is connected to the
DSL router, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, but when connected to the
printer, it changes to 255.255.0.0 , could this be doing the problem.
That's your problem. You're using a Class C network. (a 192.168.x.x network
is a Class C.) _All_ Class C networks have subnet masks of the order
255.255.255.x. I'm not going to go into classless and classfull subnets.
Nope. Not me. Just make your subnet mask 255.255.255.0 on _all_ devices on
your network, computers, printers, routers, everything. Set the router to use
DHCP, but to leave out a few IPS, such as the 192.168.1.1 through
192.168.1.100 range, or if that's too much like work, turn off DHCP on the
router. Set the printer to have a fixed IP in the range the router is
excluding. (192.168.1.50, for instance) If you have DHCP up, set the
computers to use DHCP. If no DHCP, give the computers IP addresses in the
192.168.1.x range, but _not_ 192.168.1.1 (that's usually the router's
address) or 192.168.1.50 (that's the printer's address).
