Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If your computer lists the printer as 'offline', the 405 error is likely the cause. Ensure that your network interface is active and the printer shows an IP address on its display.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Inspect the Ethernet cable integrity.
  2. Navigate to the network settings menu on the printer.
  3. Execute a network settings reset.
  4. Ensure DHCP is enabled to obtain a valid IP.
  5. Restart the printer.

Prevention and Maintenance

Assign a static IP for your printers to ensure your router doesn't change the address. Keeping firmware updated improves network stack stability.

When to Call a Technician

If the printer refuses to obtain an IP address despite multiple resets, the internal NIC might be malfunctioning.
