A couple of days ago I found that I could no longer print to the HP P1102W printer.
Now, it has always been on the home network via WiFi and seems the WiFi in the printer, though the blue light flashes as in seeking or making the connection, has failed.
It is no longer seen by the router (I rebooted the router in case there was a glitch) what little details I could find for resetting the printer has not helped.
FWIW and for clarity, before I rebooted the router, I tried & checked the settings on the PC (also on WiFi) in case it was a driver and/or port issue and tried again via this phone (also on WiFi) so it is not a PC or other device issue.
In general, if a device like the printer is sending out it's WiFi 'i am here' so to speak, I can see the device in the router GUI but the printer is now AWOL hence the conclusion of a failure
I have had the printer for something over 12 years and I status page report tells >50,000 pages printed in that time. It cost £90 so have had my monies worth from it including printing narrow card
I cannot recall if it even has USB connection but even if it has, we need it on the network as we both print to it and the inkjet as needed.
So, if/when I replace with another mono laser.....I need one that can handle >210gsm card A5 sized card and last time I looked there did not seem to be many that handled card...... Brother was one IIRC that did list card.
TIA for any suggestions and ideally under £200 would be great
