Laptop: Dell Inspirion 15
OS: Windows 10
Printer: MG3122
Unable to connect wirelessly.
I have tried the WPS button connect. Receive E-2-1 everytime.
I have tried the USB cable temporary. Always tells me that the mp drivers are in use.
I have the most up to date mp drivers for the printer. I have used the diagnostic with the printer and everything checks out.
I have tried to uninstall but printer uninstall wizard will not pop up so can not start from scratch yet.
What can someone suggest?
