Online Troubleshooting Wizard:
- Troubleshoot Wireless Problems: Whether your printer has never been connected or was connected and is no longer working.

- Network Settings: Use this wizard to find your wireless network name (SSID) and password in case you don't remember them.
- Convert USB to Wireless: If you're using a USB connection, consider converting it to wireless for better flexibility.
