Trouble with your Wireless Scanner/Printer?



If your wireless scanner printer gives you an error message, it can usually be remedied by the following:

Unplug power cord to printer/scanner

Exit out of scanner software or app

After a few minutes, plug in printer/scanner

Open scanner software and resume commands

That's right! The simplest IT solution i.e. turn it off and turn it back on again is also the one that can get your scanner up and going again.

Another solution for a message that your printer/scanner and computer aren't communicating is to restart your router. I had success with that after I had tried the above steps.

I know it is very frustrating. In a pinch, you can scan documents with an iPad and use a scanner app to convert them to PDFs. You can print photos at discount and drugs stores, and you can print documents at office supply stores.
