Hi shaunnew,

 

Please follow these steps:

 

1.  Please press the wrench and screwdriver button on your printer

 

2.  Use the right arrow button to select Device Settings and press OK

 

3.  Use the right arrow button to select LAN Settings and press OK

 

4.  Use the right arrow button to select Print LAN details, then press the OK button

 

On the page that prints, please take note of the SSID.  This is the name of the network that your printer is connected to.  Please make sure that your computer is connected to the same network as your printer and attempt to install again.
