Well i bought the Brother MFC-6890CDW printer.

Its in the office room, connected to a wireless router in there. And the 2 computers in the office can print just fine. (Theyre both hooked up to the wireless router with cable)

Me on the other hand, is in my room, and i can't print. I get my net from a small router in here, that is connected to the Router in the office.

Hope i didn't confuse you guys too much. Heres the simpler version..

Office: Wireless router, 2 computers, printer. Printer connected to wireless router, and computers connected to the wireless router with cable.

My room: Normal router, 1 computer, connected to the router with cable, and the router is connected through the wall, to the wireless router, with cable.

But i simply can't print from it, and the other 2 computers can. They also have this little icon in the taskbar which says "Online" about the printer, and it says offline on mine. I've taken off all firewall, etc.

So me'thinks that the router in my room is being a bitch or something? But i can't access it. The wireless router in the office is 192.168.1.1, and the router in my room has no adress.

Any ideas?

UPDATE: Just lost net connection for 5 minutes (Crap net) And during that time, the taskbar icon said Online, and i could print.

UPDATE2: Installed a program called BRAdmin from Brother, and gave the printer a static ip adress. AND, via that program, i can print a test page, and that it CAN do, no idea whats going on.
