PIXMA MG5520 How to clear IP address

trint99 — Fri, 13 Dec 2024 18:53:13 GMT

I have switched to Starlink and have a new wifi network. The printer was able to connect to the new network fine. The printer is listed on my Starlink app as a connected device. However...

No devices on the network can connect to the printer. When I look at the printer in the Starlink network app, it shows no IP address. When I look on the printer's network information, it's the IP address from the old wifi network. (192.168.0.*). The new network has a different mask and the IP address SHOULD be 192.168.1.*.

I don't see any way to clear the IP address from the printer. I've tried power cycle. I've logged in to the new network a dozen times. (And, yes, I tried the Starlink trick of "splitting 2.4" into a different network.) Nothing works. The printer stubbornly holds on to its old IP address.
