My printer has been working OK for a while, but today I've wasted several hours trying to print a simple one page document.

I've gone through all the virtual chat 'so called' remedies and nothing worked. Switched everything of, including my smart watch and switched off all electricity in the house. Rebooted the router, printer and both our laptops. Tried it with and without he USB cable and still nothing. 

Tried downloading all up dates, removed printer several times and added a printer. Tried the Print doctor updated new stuff-took it's temperature  and it recognised the printer but still couldn't connect to the internet. Pressed all the combinations on the small printer screen and printed several 'Quick Start' guide, printer information page and temporary pin numbers.

Finally got the page I wanted to printer, with the USB cable fitted, but after removing it, the blue wifi light still a blinking nuisance.
