Greetings and welcome.

 

Description is pretty vague.  "Scanners don't work"?

 

Printer's are connected to ??  Router, access point??

 

Using what operating system(s)?? windows, MAC (version)?

 

Drivers version you installed?  (or did you just switch from a wired to wireless connection without telling your computers you are using a different connection method?

 

Troubleshooting steps you performed?

 

Error messages you received?

 

We can try to help, but you will need to tell us more than something is not working.

I switched from being hooked up to wireless so how do I tell my scanners that we are wireless?

Suggest you uninstall the printer and drivers, then reinstall selecting wireless so your system knows what interface to connect to:
