Wireless printer - help required

I'm sure that someone on here will be able to help me


I have a Canon MG3200 wireless printer and am running windows 7 on my laptop but my printer has stopped working wirelessly. It does work if connected directly to the laptop


I have upgraded to fibre broadband connection recently and have a new router and password


Can someone talk me through updating the settings so that I can get me printer to work wirelessly again. I've tried looking through the manuals etc. but they don't seem to cover this particular scenario - or at least not in a language that I understand!
I need to make a new list for 2014
think of something to put on it!:rotfl:
Try harder for 2014 as I never managed it in 2012 or 2013

    The way I did it was connect the printer with the cable and run the software but when the menu opens you need to select connecting wirelessly and follow the prompts. I know it sounds a bit strange but it is the way to do it. My neighbour also has the 3200 and I had to also do it to her printer. :cool:
