My wireless printer, MX459 won't print

Nancyhill1234 — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 22:38:18 GMT

My printer was working fine and suddenly won't print. It is requesting a passphrase. Where would I find this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I removed the software and put it back in. The problem is still there.

Many thanks, Nancy

Hi Nancyhill1234,

When the printer requests a passphrase, it is looking for the password that you would use to connect devices to your network. Please ensure that the printer is connecting to your network and not another network, and if you have recently changed your router or made any other changes to your network, you will need to reinstall the printer and use the new network information to reconnect the printer to your network.

If the above recommendations did not resolve the issue, please call or email us using one of the methods on the Contact Us page for further assistance.

The passphrase would be the password I use for the network which is Time Warner. Is this correct?

Thank you for your help!
