NO LONGER ABLE TO PRINT WIRELESS(LY)
I have a Dell Desktop computer and two Dell Laptops which form a network. I have no problem with my network connection. I am able to access the internet and send and receive emails on both Laptops and of course the Desktop computer.Recently, my Laptop computers both stopped printing on a wireless basis. I'm not terribly saavy on these issues, I will admit, and I didn't want to do anything to endanger my wireless connection.Can someone help me with some much needed advice.Thank you.ErichSage1 person needs an answerI do too
