I have been using this printer with a cable connection. I moved and would like to operate this printer in wireless mode. Cannot find a way to do this or instructions on same. Best suggestion was to "make sure the printer and the computer were using the same network" !? No idea how to do that or what to do if they are not. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I looked at the connection spot on my printer and it just named a network which means nothing to me. Is this hopeless?

Thanks for your answer, I did as suggested and I made my connection and am now able to print from my computer wirelessly. However, the scan function has gone haywire. It works but not like it did before. The scan comes as a JPG and only one page at a time. Not really acceptable. I will try downloading the drivers as you suggest and see if that fixes it. Thanks again.
