I kept getting the error 79 message so I followed the Forum's 11-23-20 steps for fixing the error 79 message (including turning IPV 6 off). I have a wireless connection and I turned on and off the network router in the order indicated. The error message went away and the printer says it is connected to the internet, but my computer can't find the printer. Thanks!
