MX922 Printer / Wireless Connection

DebraStitt
Apprentice

I just got a new computer with Windows 10. I've tried hooking up my printer to work wirelesssly and it's just not cooperating. The scanner works wirelessly, but not the printer. I've tried using the "Standard" method a few times to connect without a cable. I've tried a couple of times with the cable. The address is the same on the computer and the printer. The printer recognizes that there's a wireless option but it just won't connect.

 

HELP!

Please write down the SSID that appears.  Next, use the down arrow to view the IPv4 Address and write that down as well.

 

On your computer, in the lower right hand corner next to the time, click the box to the right of the time.  A menu will appear.  In this menu, at the bottom, click on "Network".

Halleluja!!! It finally worked. I did all of that same setup several times today to no avail. What I didn't do was uninstall and that might have made all the difference. I wasted a whole day trying to get this to work. LOL

You are my hero! Thank you so much!
