Dear All,

So we run 2 Macbooks and a Windows 1- laptop and we get the same response with them all, your printer is not connected. Shutting down Macbooks does not resolve the issue and I can't keep resetting the router every time.  Could do with a solution please.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi,

Well the printer is in the garage through a fire door, so this might have a bearing, yet the garage door is always open when we turn the printer on.  The router is about 5 metres away.  It hasn't always happened, its a fairly new occurence.  We did change from BT to SKY router but the change didn't coincide with this change.

Many thanks for any help.

Kind Regards

S

Hi, run a ethernet cable between the 8620 & the router.
