in windows 10 how do i turn on my wireless printer

Hi,

• What is the make and model of the printer and the computer?

As you have mentioned that “I cannot turn on my wireless printer. it says my radio is off”
which means the wireless button might not have turned ‘ON’ on your printer.

So I suggest you to check for the wireless button on the printer and turn it ‘ON’ then follow the below steps to ‘ADD’ the wireless printer on your computer and connect it, check if it helps.

• In the Search box type as ‘Device and Printers’.
• Click on ‘Add a printer’ you will find the wireless printer is displayed on your computer.
• Click on the printer and click on ‘Next’.
• Follow the onscreen instruction and connect the computer and printer.

If still you are facing issue in connecting the wireless printer then I suggest you to refer to the printer manual and check if it helps.

Please get back to us with an update on this issue, we will be happy to assist you further.

Thank you

Hello Joseph,

Your printer will display as "offline" if it can't communicate with your PC. Check to make sure the printer is turned on and connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your PC. To find out if your printer is connected to Wi-Fi, see if your printer's
built-in menu has options for checking, or check the printer's manual for specific
instructions.

To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

• Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type in
   winver.
2. Click OK.

• Were there any recent changes made prior to this issue?

Also, make sure that you've installed the latest driver of your printer and
try to download and install the Samsung Easy Wireless Setup to
help you configure and properly connect your printer wireless.

If the issue still occurs, I'd recommend checking this article

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.

Make sure the printer, router, and computer are all turned on, and that the computer is connected to the same wireless network you want to connect the printer to.
