This morning my printer ran out of paper. I added paper and it disconnected from wifi. I have tried everything to get it reconnected. Now it is flashing purple and won't do anything at all. The wifi is full strength, everything else is getting wifi just fine.

Looks like the printer thinks it is connecting to Wireless though from your description is it not doing so.
