mg5320, worked fine for a few months, now it can't detect the network.

I uninstalled the drivers, then ran the setup twice.  Both with the same outcome.  It finds the wireless network via the standard setup.  I enter the wireless password, finds it fine.  Then after I am finishing the setup via the CD I get the dialog titled Check Printer Settings. 

"the printer  could not be detected on the network" 

I have selected the 'back to top" button on this dialog twice.  Doesn't work and very frustrated.  

 

My wireless is working fine as I have a laptop using it all the time.  I need the ability to print via my laptop and phone.  All this has worked fine since April when I set it up.

Sadly, same result.  "Printer could not be detected".

Hi jccurtin,

 

I would recommend using the Contact Us link to reach our live support.  It is possible that there may be something going on during the install that is blocking communication that a live support rep can pick up on.
