Wifi Printer

[Ian4]

Thanks to all who have helped and after not giving up am today connected to my wifi
My question now is that I am also connected via an USB wire to my computer. do I still need this connected or should I unplug it and go with only wifi. .

as you can tell am still in the dark ages as all this technology is a mystery and thanks to answerbank for all the help i get on all my problems

If you are using your printer with wi fi you DONT need the USB cable as well.

VHG has answered your question. However, whilst wi fi is very useful, it can be subjected to radio interference from outside of the areas in which you are operating. Consequently, USB cable connections are more positive.

Unplug the USB cable. My link (from my 3rd post) in your previous thread shows that your printer is designed to work with EITHER a USB connection or a wireless one but NOT both. (For Hans: Ian4 needs to use the printer with an iPad, as well as his PC, so he's forced to use the wi-fi option). Leaving the USB lead plugged in will be, at best, pointless or, at worst, risk your PC sending conflicting messages to your printer.
