Printers not communicating with laptops

Okay... Sound to me like the DHCP Server in your router is off..
Well, do this or have your technician login to your Router admin page ( by typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1, (or something similar depending on the brand and make of the router) into your browser and hitting enter) and either make sure Lan side DHCP server is on, or leave it off and just assign different static local IP's to each of your network devices ( e.g. 192.168.1.10 for you laptop and 192.168.1.11 for your printer). I think that will solve your problem if its related to an IP conflict.

Hope this Solves your problem. :)

It looks that you can receive data (eg.scanned) from your MFC but cannot send information to it {eg. reference to 2-ways communications not working):
I suspect that it is a 'Firewall' problem or 'Antivirus' issue: review possible logs and try turning both Firewall and Antivirus to check if they are the problems.

Good luck!

Did you delete all printers before instaling drivers so that you would have a clean printer install .

delete all printers first from control panel via printers and other hardware. then reload printer drivers for this printer.
