Hi Larissa89,
Restart the network devices:

- On the Windows taskbar, click the Windows icon, click Start Search, click the Shut Down arrow, and then click Shut Down.
- Turn off the wireless access point (Router)
- Turn on the wireless access point (Router).
- When the Router is fully rebooted. Press the Power button to turn on the Printer.
- Press the power button on the computer to turn it on.
- Type the IP address into the Internet browser to see if you can communicate with the printer.
- Try sending a job to the printer.
Let me know if you are able to print successfully?

After doing that the printer is now printing wireless and I can access the settings with the browser.
However, this is exactly what I did last time to fix my problem and it stopped working again the next morning. So I will keep this unsolved for now and if it still works in 3 days time I will mark it as solved!
Thanks for the work so far and I hope I don't need to come back on here 😛

Hey there,
The printer worked fine for the day and in the morning. Then it started to play up again. I could fix the problem by first turning off router AND printer and after a while turning off only the printer did the trick. However, there have been a couple of times where this didn't work and the printer started to print hours and hours after I sent something to the printer.
Not sure how to fix it for good 😕

Hi Larissa89,
Sounds like you are having network interference issues. One way to isolate the printer or the network causing the issue is to install the printer at a relatives or friends home to see if you have the same issue. If the issue follows the printer then you would be having a hardware issue. If the printer works fine in a different network enviroment then you have something in your network causing the issue. Let me know if you are able to try this troubleshooting step?
