Re: Help printer won’t work

My neighbour had trouble with loosing the wi-fi connection to the printer. I hardwired that in the end. No more trouble but no more bottles of wine for sorting it out every time either.

Our HP printer doesn't have any trouble connecting via wi-fi. It gets turned off at the mains for long periods of time too but still reconnects to the router OK when turned back on. Handy to keep it on wi-fi because there are three computers and a tablet that we might need to print from. Mrs mart's phone sometimes as well.

OGF, please note that some Printer Manufacturers make using their ink a condition of their warranty terms.

In other words, use our ink or we won't fix it.

Beware!

Is your WiFi having to pass through walls, or travel a longish distance. to get to your printer?

One I heard about, recently, said he linked his printer to his mobile phone WiFi

Printer stopped whenever he went out to work!

Not sure if I believe all that, but hey Ho!
