Re: Pixma MX472 will not connect to wireless network

LShep
Apprentice

My Pixma MX472 will not connect to the wireless network in my home. The router is fine. Everything else is connected. But the printer won't connect. It will find my router says it is connected but still will not print. I turn on printer, give it a second and it just connects.

I have tried reinstalling and this did not solve the problem.  The printer was working fine, I have checked all connections the only message I receive is my ink is running low.

Please help.

It is not my router. I have plenty of "infrequently used" devices on my network that are always available and never get dropped.

 

I gave up and went out and bought a new HP printer. So far, the new printer has worked flawlessly and the stress levels of my other "remote learning" family member have dropped significantly.

Connection ; Inactive

SSID : Matches our network

Signal Strength : 0%

IP Address : Says Disable

everything else is connected to the internet but we cant seem to print anything at the moment
