Hi -
I have an error 49 on my printer (communication error) printer "off line" - cannot print from notebook/laptop to printer on wi fi but can do from mobile phone. Scanning on printer/scanner no longer scans. Software check reload.
Lost ability to print or scan - test page does work for printer but not scan.
I have shut down, notebook/laptop /printer etc followed on line suggestions. Help.
Thank you for your help.

Hi Cagin,
Thank you for the link, yes it worked for 3 days, defaulted back to default off line, cannot print wireless, nor accept the ip address which is provided on the printer. I have switched the router off/on still not working. Under settings, says driver not found, downloaded drivers and that is not working either. Any assistance in getting this sorted is very much appreciated,
Thank you.
