    Reconnect to the correct wireless network, the same as you did when first set up.
    However, if it won't work either via USB, then it's not a wireless issue.
    Can you print a test page without connecting to either? If not, it's a printer fault, most likely a faulty cartridge, or not installed correctly.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • i have finally got in connect via usb, it just wont accept my wireless network key, which is correct.
  • When you uninstalled it did you uninstall its drivers from device manager too, so that there is no recognition of it? Normally the disk will allow a clean install of wireless if you uninstall correctly....it should re-search for the wireless networks around you.
