      printer is connected to wireless network w/ static ip

      172.20.4.120
      255.255.255.224
      172.20.4.100

      the wireless firewall rule is wide open - Source/Port/Dest/Port/Gateway - all set to Any

      wireless client on same WLAN

      172.20.4.115
      255.255.255.224
      172.20.4.100

      I cannot connect or even ping to this printer - Any ideas? How can I get screenshots of my WLAN interface and DHCP server settings (Client gets IP from DHCP) put on this topic? Using linux and screen shots take multiple monitors and dont know how to edit them.

      Thank you,

        You have to set your wireless configuration to allow IBSS.
        Check this box:  –-Allow intra-BSS communication---
