  I can't help but wonder if the computer is still on the same network as the printer. Even if you have no more than the computer, you may give it to someone else who uses the same network as you? I think it's weird that the printer is always to see the computer. If this computer and the printer are not on the same network, perhaps to restore the printer to the factory settings would help. To do this test, please complete the following steps;

  1. On the front panel of the printer, scroll down to the second main menu screen by sliding your finger to the right of the screen to the left
  2. Choose settings, or Setup
  3. Select printer maintenance
  4. Go to restoration
  5. Choose both restore factory default settings

  Once this operation is completed, you will need to reconfigure the printer to your wireless network. Please let me know if this is the case. Thank you.
