Re: Wifi Printer

I don't have wifi at home, thank goodness, and hope I don't have to replace my trusty old printer. Can't see why everything has to be wifi these days, as wired printers are fine.
Sorry, no answer to your question, I know

Re: Wifi Printer

Hard-wiring is good but a wireless printer can be handy where there a few computers in the home. They can all use the same printer with no cables being necessary.

Re: Wifi Printer

Thank you all for your help.
I managed to find the set up wizzard on the printer and eventually found out how to put the password in, and now my printer is up and running

Well done JainieB!

Re: Wifi Printer

I love a story with a happy ending Jainie and well done.

Re: Wifi Printer

My printer used to do wifi but it has given up so will only print when attached to the computer .
Even then it's a hit and miss affair it clanks ,shudders grumbles and spits out pieces of blank paper before condescending to actually print something .
Hate the thing .

Re: Wifi Printer

Maybe time to buy another?

I find there's no need to spend a fortune on buying an inkjet printer. Our current one is an HP Envy 5532 printer/scanner/copier bought for about £80. It does the job well.

Some inkjet printers cost less than that and even if they only lasted a couple of years, could still be considered good value for money.

Re: Wifi Printer

I never buy an all in one (Printer/Scanner/Copier) because if the printer packs up you need to buy another one; leaving you with a Scanner/Copier surplus to requirement.

Re: Wifi Printer

Mine's and Epsom Expression 305, and it's an all in one, and only cost me about £57 a couple of years ago. I have wifi because I move my laptop from room to room and the printer sits in my sitting room.

Re: Wifi Printer

That's true and I have had separates in previous years. Some were quite expensive. However, with the price of all-in-ones, I thought I'd go for one of those instead.

The one I had before the HP Envy was a Brother DCP-117C (not wireless). It cost £60, worked well and lasted more than 3 years. The printer went wrong in the end and did indeed leave a functioning scanner (although not a copier because it wouldn't print the copy) but for the money and the time it lasted, I didn't feel hard done by. Just put it out for collection went and bought another all-in-one. I'll probably do that for as long as I last now.

They save a bit of space too.
