MP 277 IWLAN and office WiFi printer

Post by sergvil » Tue Jun 26, 2018 7:38 am

Hi all.

I have MP 277 IWLAN connected to S7-1200 via SCALANCE W 788. Works fine.
Now my boss wants to print reports from panel to office printer HP LJ Pro M104W. Printer mentioned has WiFi. But printer does not see WiFi network generated by SCALANCE W.

Is mentioned connection possible?

After updating firmware of the printer WiFi network generated by SCALANCE W 766 is now visible for HP LJ Pro m104w.
After printer's firmware update I selected "print server" and port :9100 in MP 277 IWLAN Control Panel printer selection widget.
Now when I press Print Report button in my MP 277 IWLAN application, printer begins to flash with his green LED, and in two minutes I can see a message "Check printer cartridge, cable, etc" on my MP 277 IWLAN, and no printing. But in printer's web interface i see state "printing document".

Is a method to fix this?

Tested my old HP LJ 1150 with MP 277 IWLAN. Works fine. But HP LJ 1150 does not have WiFi or Ethernet.

In WinCE forums i found that Printer can be easily configured to work with WinCE if it has PCL support by it's firmware (not driver). LJ 1150 has such support, but M104w supports PCLm. Maybe, this is the problem.
