I am running a LaserJet M277dw. We installed a new wireless router/system in the house. Since then I've struggled with multiple items. I had to reinstall drivers on both the laptops.
I can print via USB cable.
When I enter the wireless setup wizard to set up the new router/system it simply searches for networks and never identifies anything to connect to.
I can't scan (flatbed or tray) to a computer via same USB cable. I can't scan to a USB. I utilized the onboard screen and tried to run it via the scan package from the new install. Neither one shows a connection to the same cable I can use to print with.
I can't scan (flatbed or tray) to a USB stick plugged in. It doesn't recognize that a USB is plugged in. I verified both USB's I tried with a laptop.
How do I fix this so it scans and connects to wireless?
