I am having difficulties with my MG5220 saying it is offline, but I am starring at it and it is on. I removed all drivers, software, and other aspects of my printer to re-install. Except now, it says it can't find the printer at all from the WiFi. It was working just fine and now, all of a sudden it won't? Any suggestions?
