Hello dear friends, did you miss me?
We have resettled into our beautiful new home in Renwick.
Now I like to re install my printer, can anyone give me some step by step direction how to do this.
Much appreciated in advance.

You can google it.

Is this a new printer ? One you didn't previously have installed ?
Do you wish to print from it by having it plugged into the computer or wirelessly ?

If it's new you'll find generally very easy to follow instructions in the box. Or have you already tried to install it and got stuck ?

I have a feeling the OP knows this but possibly also knows how many annoyingly irrelevant results one might get and that it can be a very long goose chase indeed.

Hi there, its the printer I used before, is wireless connected to my laptop.
It was disconnected by the movers and don't want to stuff it up :)

Exactly, i find asking for help here way more useful than trying to go back and forth with google trying to decypher gobbledegook.

nice_lady must be at smoko.

You are wanting to use the printer wirelessly? If you plug it in via USB it might set itself up.

tygertung - 2021-07-22 15:24:00

If you previously used it with the laptop then it shouldn't be difficult. Do you have the same modem/router as before you moved or not?

nice_lady - 2021-07-22 15:39:00

Has the OP actually plugged the printer in and...tried to print?

If it was working, got packed up and then unpacked.. it should just work.

Only thing that might trip it up is the wifi SSID changing.. but then OP works have to have set up everything again anyway

My son is coming tomorrow, so hopefully he can help.

Nice lady's help is hinging on you answering her #10 post.

Yes. There's reason I've asked that.

Yes I do if that is the white oblong box like thing.

Ok so have you tried plugging the printer in to the power and seeing if you can print ?

If no, what exactly have you tried please ?

Yes plugged it in and it is working. The packers had packed the cable underneath the lid. Trust me to think it would be complicated.
Thanks for all the responses :)

omaria - 2021-07-23 16:30:00

Ok. ????

That's what I said last night.. always good to see if there is a problem before asking for help

Its also good to know there are helpful people around who are very willing to help an old(er) woman who knows very little about technology :)
And there was a problem in that I didnt know there was a cable I had to attach as the cable was hidden under the lid :) But thanks for your contribution to the original request for help :)

omaria - 2021-07-23 23:11:00

So you mean the power cable was hidden under he lid??, or are you referring to the USB cable???, or even a cat5/6 patch lead????

Yeah omaria - I'm also curious. What kind of cable?

nice_lady - 2021-07-24 10:17:00

The cable that was needed to connect it or plug it in. I thought it would need a lot of figures and codes to get it going but its working just with that cord/plug thing. Never to old to learn LOL

omaria - 2021-07-24 13:16:00

Was it a power cable?
Or did it plug the printer to the computer?

nice_lady - 2021-07-24 13:19:00

no plug from computer to printer so I guess it was a power cable, very short one, needed to put it on extention. My computer is in dining room for now and printer in guest room, yet i can print. Amazes me how that works. I push a button here and the things starts whirring in another room.

Glad you got it sorted. All electrical machines need power from somewhere.
