My printer has not been able to connect to the internet for months. I have tried to reinstall software, called, and manually tried to connect. Everything else wireless in my house works just fine, so is there a product defect? Please help!

Hi @Sticksstuck,

 

I'd like to help!

 

To assist better -

  1. Are you able to make copies using the printer?
  2. What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or device? 
  3. What device are you using the printer with, a Windows computer, Mac, Android or an iPhone?
  4.  I would like to know, is your router set to work on 2.4 GHz network or 5 GHz network band?
  5. Are you trying to connect your printer to your home network, public network, or without a router?
  6. What is the status of the wireless light on the printer, steady or blinking?

 Keep me posted.

Thank you for your response Jay_G24. I read through other chats and found that I can use a USB cord. It is now scanning and printing perfectly!
