hi


i have just got a new router because i have changed provider, for some reason my printer wont print, it says there is no comunication between the computor and printer, is this anything to do with the new router? or anything else.

any help would be great

Is it a wireless printer? Or is it plugged directly into the computer you are trying to print from? If so, it may be cured by a restart. It's unlikely to be the router.

its a wireless printer, tried turning of starting restarting, just says no communication between computor and printer, should i try the disk that came with the printer?

What router have you got? If it came from orange, you'll need to connect it with the router before it will print by pressing the number 1 button. (At least that's the way their routers used to be!)

hi

i just deleted everthing reinstalled with the cd, then it to me to connect with usb and it found the new router which is from talk talk and i had to put the password in the printer then bingo it worked, i am sure there must have been a much easier way though!!!
