I successfully installed the programme to print wirelessly from my HP G70 laptop to a Canon Pixma MP495 printer and have been using it for over a year.
Recently a Vista Drivers update programme asked to be downloaded and I downloaded it and updated the print driver. The programme remained in my computer and I uninstalled it thinking that it would only uninstall the programme for installing new drivers but, since uninstalling it, my laptop does not recognise that a printer is connected wirelessly. It comes up with the message:
"The printer is offline.
Check that the printer is connected and that the printer power is on."
The printer's wireless LED is lit up, I re-ran installing using the printer wirelessly by connecting my computer to the wireless router as instructed and running the ROM disk. It re-installed everything and said that wireless printing was successful, but I am still getting the same message. Are there any settings I should be looking at? My partner shares the same printer and he is not having any proglems with printing wirelessly.
I've also run Malwarebytes in case that Vista Driver programme was a virus and there were none.
Grrrrrrrrrr!
