My laptop is an HP Pavilion g7. I connected the printer using the disk in my laptop to configure the wireless connection - went through all of the steps. The test print pages printed okay... not sure on how to get this sorted out. Thanks for your ideas and help on how to get my printer working.

Not sure if this is a correct explaination - got home this evening and turned on my laptop and printer. Once the printer got started - the pages from yesterday printed right away.

I do have a work laptop that was turned off; however plugged in via the charger. All I can think is the printer picked up on signals from both laptops even though my work laptop was not turned on.

I'm good to go Maybe this will help another if the same message above is received.

Thanks!!

I am having this same issue. The only other "computer" that I have used with this printer is my iPad. I have printed from the computer since last using my iPad, so I don't understand the issue or how to remedy it.

I have this same problem. No other computers in my home. It has been going on for days. I have turned everything off overnight twice. So frustrating.
