●All cable connections to the computer and the printer are secure.
●The network is operational and the network hub, switch, or router is turned on.

Unable to connect the printer wirelessly
Make sure you have already set up the printer wireless capabilities by completing the wireless connection setup.

NOTE: If your printer supports Ethernet networking, make sure that an Ethernet cable is not connected to the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable turns off the printer wireless capability.
