Wireless printer connection: network and address checks

Check the possible causes in order. If connection and device checks pass, use the exact model guide to investigate driver compatibility.

Confirm supported interfaces

A printer without wireless capability has no Wi-Fi setup. Check the model manual for Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct or Ethernet support.

Compare the networks

Check the computer and printer network and whether guest isolation blocks local access. Use the frequency bands documented for the model.

After a router change

Review printer network settings after replacing a router or SSID. Compare the new IP with the computer port, then investigate queue and driver issues.
