How can I make sure my computer and printer are connected to the same wireless network?

If the printer is not on the same wireless network as the computer, then you will not be able to print wirelessly. The SSID of the printer must match the SSID of the computer, if the computer is already connected to the wireless network.

For Windows users

1Obtain the SSID of the network that the computer is connected to:

aType the IP address of your access point (wireless router) in the address field of your Web browser. If you do not know the IP address of the access point, then do the following:

1Click , or click Start and then click Run.

2In the Start Search or Run dialog, type cmd.

3Press Enter, or click OK.

4Type ipconfig, and then press Enter. Check the Wireless Network Connection section:

•The “Default Gateway” entry is typically the access point.

•The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 192.168.2.134.

bType the user name and password of the router when prompted.

cClick OK.

dIn the Wireless settings section, look for the SSID.

eWrite down the SSID.

Note: Make sure you copy it exactly, including any capital letters.

2Obtain the SSID of the network that the printer is connected to: a From the printer, print a network setup page.

b In the Wireless section, look for SSID.

3Compare the SSID of the computer and SSID of the printer.

If the SSIDs are the same, then the computer and the printer are connected to the same wireless network.

If the SSIDs are not the same, then run the utility again to set up the printer on the wireless network used by the computer.
