Epsom printer advice

Katykat

A few days ago I had to change my Sky broadband password. Didn't realise what it would entail. Apart from having to rejoin all devices that use wifi, I now find that my Epsom XP 305 is not connecting to my Mac & iPad. Before I start messing about with it ( & possibly making a pigs ear with it) does anyone know what I need to do? I have a feeling I may need to reinstall the printer (???) but am I correct?

No need to reinstall printer

use the WPS button on the router, quickest/easiest way

Is it just a case of pressing the WPS button? I just did that & no change.

Yes. Sometimes the printer simply can't find what it needs to connect to the WiFi, so a reinstall from PC using the USB cable tends to sort it out.

If using WPS, you press to enable it on the router then follow the connection instructions on the printer.

But on my Canon,

for a new connection.........on printer just press tools/menu on screen

display; Wifi or Lan networks.

It should find Router,

Press OK


and Press WPS on Router

The password you had to change was your wi-fi password, not your broadband password. If the printer also uses wi-fi, then you must change the password on that also, just like your other wireless devices.

This is what I eventually got to. Before the navi setup would start, it told me to uninstall the original printer setup, which I did. I uninstalled all the software etc. Went through the setup process & when I reached the end, an error message told me that it can't install because Epson scan is still installed. I can't find it anywhere, I've given up for the night now. Back to the drawing board tomorrow.
