1441066 2017-10-28 06:49:00 The problem wasn't anything to do with the computers or other devices OR even the printer, it was because you changed the Router. Think of it as changing the locks in your house, the old key wont work. wainuitech (129)
1441067 2017-10-28 06:55:00 Um yes I realised that nearly the whole time................ I knew what was wrong, - (edit passwrods / router ) just could not get the printer to see anything , cos the pc couldnt see the printer to change settings...

it just wouldnt accept me trying to change password, wifi settings... or give me options for a printer it couldnt see......or anything for me to see the printer or the printer to see the wifi, so the cable was the only option even tho I only needed for a very short time...... :(

Took me a while to realise tho that the printer wasnt able to be seen....- old settings.

Thank you all for your help.
