Check Apple Support to see if your printer is compatible. There are hundreds of wireless printers already manufactured with AirPrint enablement.
How to connect a printer to your handheld devices
Once entered, your printer is prepped for all printing activity.
This may perhaps relate to the sleep/deep sleep state of the printer perhaps.If you want to connect a wireless printer, the connection process may seem more daunting, but you’ll be surprised to find how smooth the transition from wired to wireless can be. The intervals between being knocked off the wifi have varied (from recollection) between an few hours or more to just 10 minutes.
I have tried both channel 1 and Channel 6 on the first router, with no difference in the symptom This is true with two different routers, and for each of these a different wifi account has been used: the second router was the brand new one provided when I was trying to eliminate the router hardware as the root caused, clearly it is not, it may however be incompatible in some way with the wifi of the Dell C1765. Connecting the printer by wifi to the router brings the symptom on. With every other device powered up and connected, and with the printer powered up but NOT connected via wifi, then things are perfect. The workaround has been to power-cycle the router. The cabled connections continue to function.ĭevices cannot then successfully authenticate when they are forced to try to reconnect. Periodically the router drops the connection to all wifi devices (not sure if the Dell printer is or is not included in that). I have been suffering the same symptoms with the same printer, in brief Is it possible the printer wireless hardware is faulty somehow? I would hate to have to box up and RMA this 40 lb printer. Is it possible this printer is overpowering the router, and if so why doesn't it fail right away? I guess I can rearrange the office to get it further away, but it does not seem like this should be necessary. This printer is within 5 ft of the router and is the closest device in the house to it. Power cycling the printer has resolved the issue, the first time for a few days and the last time for about 12 hours before the issue reoccurred. The devices appear to be connected but do not have internet access and I can see the connection speed being renegotiated constantly. Twice in the past week I have had to power off/on the printer to correct problems other devices in the house have experienced maintaining a connection to my wireless router. My router is an inexpensive Rosewill NX-EasyN4. It's been set up for a week now, works great except. Thanks AndyH, will be happy to post it however I am at work at the moment, I have just stumbled upon several other users having the same problem on anandtech forum, sysmptoms is exactly as mine please see below, I will be happy to provide whatever settings information I can extract when I am back home.
