Cannot print over wireless network

If you encountered problems while installing, or if your printer does not appear in the printers folder or as a printer option when sending a print job, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the software.

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER IS CONNECTED TO YOUR WIRELESS ACCESS POINT (WIRELESS ROUTER)

•See if you have access to the Internet by opening your Web browser and accessing any site.

•If there are other computers or resources on your wireless network, check to see if you can access them from your computer.

MOVE THE COMPUTER AND/OR PRINTER CLOSER TO THE WIRELESS ROUTER

Although the possible distance between devices in 802.11b or 802.11g networks is 300 feet, the maximum range for optimal performance is generally 100–150 feet.

MOVE YOUR ACCESS POINT TO MINIMIZE INTERFERENCE

There may be temporary interference from other devices such as microwave ovens or other appliances, cordless phones, baby monitors, and security system cameras. Make sure your access point is not positioned too closely to these devices.

CHECK WHETHER THE PRINTER IS ON THE SAME WIRELESS NETWORK AS THE COMPUTER

Print a network setup page. Refer to the documentation that came with your printer for details on printing a network setup page.

Make sure the SSID the printer is using matches the wireless network SSID. If you are not sure how to find the network SSID, use one of the following:

Using Windows

1Type the IP address of the wireless access point (wireless router) in the Web address field of your browser.
