Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430 DHCP Problem

[Matthieu Gaillet]

We got a problem putting this printer on our network : the DHCP client seems
not happy with the DHCP server of our DLINK DI-624 Router... This is the
first time a device refuses to work with this router.

Symptom :

*No network cable : IP adress becomes 192.168.2.1
* Network cable plugged : the IP is in the range 169.x.x.x (auto configured
like in windows)


Anybody has had similiar problems ?

Thanks for any advice you could give us.

I have just tried to network my new 5430DL and had to give up, too costly in
time. I bought a USB cable and used Windows printer sharing.

Bill,

What kind of problems did you have with connecting your mc5430 on the
network?

This printer really sucks...

* The photo print quality is really bad.
* The drivers are poorly programmed. They are not compatible with the big
display font option of Windows
* The DHCP network support doesn't work at least here
* The SMB protocol is supported but incredibly slow
* The web interface is really basic. Even the serial number of the printer
(hidden between the duplex module) is not available.
* ...

We are really disapointed....
