Windows 10: How do I reconnect my wireless printer to laptop?

Hello. I'm new on here.
I had my HP Envy 4507 printer wirelessly linked to my Lenovo ideapad 510 (with Windows 10) and working perfectly. Now, the printer and laptop each indicate that they are actively linked to my network but when I ask the printer to print, I get the message 'cannot find printer'.
I have been on line and run full diagnostic checks on laptop, Windows 10 and the printer. Latest updates have been downloaded. All systems check out as working normally.
I should add that the printer is also linked to a Macbook Air and still works perfectly, printing every time.
I am gasping at straws! Please can anyone help? Thank you

:)

 

printer wireless to laptop

Hi Barry,

If the error message that it's a connection issue, modifying the setting on your printer, or re-creating the connection between your laptop and the printer might resolve the concern. That said, we would like to know what do you mean by " I cannot send any
from printer to l/p"? In the meantime, we suggest that you reconnect both of your laptop and printer from your wireless network.

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Brother printers - wireless connection


Yep, over the years I've contacted Brother by phone and online chat and email. They have a list of stock responses, none of which have solved the problem. Their printers work great when they're actually working. But the wireless issues are maddening. With other printer brands, my experience has been different - when the internet connection is restored, the printers automatically reconnect to the wifi SSID and work properly again, immediately. But for some reason this does not happen with Brother, even when their printers have reconnected.

 

connect Dell laptop to Epson WF-3620 printer through wireless access

Hi Anita,

For wireless printers, check the wireless connection. Make sure the printer’s wireless option is turned on and available. Many printers have a button that displays a blue wireless icon when wireless is available.

Also, try performing a wireless connectivity test on your printer. You
can read the instructions that came with the printer or check the printer manufacturer’s website for instructions on how to do this.

We also suggest running the printing troubleshooter. It can fix issues with installing and connecting to a printer. To use this:

• Go to Control Panel.
• In the search box, type troubleshooter.
• Click Troubleshooting from the list of results.
• Click Use a printer under Hardware and Sound.
• The Printer troubleshooter will begin. Select Next and follow the steps in the wizard to find and fix issues with the printer.

Let us know how it goes.
