Are you struggling with your wireless printer? Well, there are many printers that have Wi-Fi, which means you can connect the printers without wires from your computer, laptop, mobile or other devices. You don’t need to be in the same room or in the same building to print from a wireless printer. Most of the times, the modern models have built their printers with built-in Wi-Fi technology, but sometimes you do not have this, and still, there are other ways of making your printer wireless, that is by connecting it with a router. But before starting printing, you must first connect both the devices, such as your printer and the device from which you want to print with the same wireless router or a wireless printer.

The printer has colour screen that come with step-by-step instructions for setting up the wireless connections once you turn on the printer. These steps make it easy for the users to follow them even if the screen is quite small. You can progress steps one by one. This means one step at a time.
