Hello.

I have just tried to print a document but neither my phone nor my MacBook can locate the printer. Do I assume that it has disconnected from the home WiFi? And if it has how do I make it work again?

Thanks in advance

Andrew.

Does your router have a WPS button? Press that and the printer’s WPS button within two mins of eachother and they should auto-communicate from there.

If the printer doesn’t have a physical button, it should have a WPS setup option in the menus

Sam, thanks again. That worked perfectly. I’m going to make a note of it just in case it does it again. 

Regards

Andrew.
