Windows 10: Wireless IR signal to a printer

I have a HP Laserjet 5P and I'm running Windows 10. I want to be able to send a wireless signal to print. How can I do that?

Wireless printer keeps losing signal

I recently bought an epson wireless printer (L355 ecotank) for my non-wireless PC (the only one in the house, everything else is wireless) but i keep getting loss of connection to the printer.

Dunno if it has anything to do with it but another PC here (also wireless connected) suffers from net connection loss sometimes. @ 1st i thought it was firefox and i tried uninstalling / re-installing it to see if that worked but after i noticed that the very same thing happened with IE so i ruled out to source of the prob being the browser.

The reason i mention the this prob with the PC @ all is because the printer's connection behavior is very similar: it's either online for quite a while or i have trouble scanning / printing because, although the router's page says the printer is online always and has very good signal, even when the connection is lost: this is what puzzles me!

The printer is located 2.5m away from the PC, with a mirror on it's back. I know mirrors block wireless signals but since it's behind the printer and not in direct path between the printer and the router, it shouldn't affect the connection, right?

 

Wireless printer keeps losing signal

I checked but my printer can't be hooked up by network cable directly: only wireless or USB cable. This means the other PC can only connect via wireless.

I do have a question: the path between my router and the other PC has only my bedroom's wall in it's way but the path between the other PC and the printer has also the mirror that is behind the printer. Does the other PC "talk" to the router to reach the printer or does it "talk" to the printer directly?

I haven't even installed the printer in the other PC: wanted to fix the problem in the main PC 1st.

Haven't tried yet. I did check the router's page and it does in fact state that it has very good signal and yet i can't print / scan because it's "not ready".

 

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
