The printer issue has now been resolved by doing something very simple. I was advised by a tech person to switch the router off while the printer and computer were on, then pull out the plug at the back of the printer and shut down the computer. Leave for at least 10 minutes then switch the router back on. Once the router is up and running plug the printer back in and switch on the computer, then go to your settings and install the printer. Believe it or not this simple solution worked
