Hi,


Simply connect an eternet cable fro the printer to the router, an ethernet connection disables the wireless connection by default..

 

Once you connect the cable reboot your PC and try printing and scanning, if that soesn't work reinstall the software on your PC to reconfigure it accord the wired connection.

Hello again Shlomi -It is very difficult to connect my printer to the router - it's in another part of the house. Is there an alternative? Can I connect the laptop directly to the printer?
