Hi I’ve followed ALL the steps to connect my printer. So my Bluetooth is on, location services on etc … my printer previously worked then stopped working all of a sudden so followed the steps to remove printer and now it won’t pick it up. I have a purple light, e9 error code and a flashing wifi light. If anyone could help that would be grand! Thank you in advance

  • Lift the ink cartridge access door until it locks into place.
  • Lifting the ink cartridge access door
  • At the back of the printer, press and hold the Power and Wireless buttons for 5 seconds.
  • Location of the Power and Wireless buttons at the back of the printer
  • Wait 2-3 minutes for the printer to restart, and then check the control panel for the E9 error.
  • If the error no longer displays, you resolved the issue. The printer is ready for use.
  • If the error still displays, continue with these steps.
  • Close the cartridge access door.
