Well, after faffing about for the past 2 days I finally had to go buy a USB cable. Eventually I got it to work and can now print from my computer, however... When I try to convert to wireless following the instructions I don't get the message to unplug the USB and when I do I can't print as I'm offline! Don't know what to do next, may have to leave it as I can still print from my Ipad as well as computer, so that's okay.

Just been trying again and when I click on convert a USB connected printer to wireless, it's saying it can't find the printer!!

I think I read that there should be 2 printer icons showing but I've only got the one, so something has gone wrong, again.

Anyone any ideas please?

Thanks.

If the Norton Firewall is the problem, you can add the following Traffic Rule to the firewall configuration which is something like: In the Norton 360 main window, click Settings. In the Settings window, under Detailed Settings, click Firewall. On the Traffic Rules tab, click Add. Follow the instructions in the Add Rule Wizard. add port 9100 and label rule...

Hi pinky, I think it's probably best to leave well alone now. At least I can print wirelessly, which is what I wanted.

As you say I now know what to do if it goes wrong again.

I can't thank you enough for your help, you've spent a lot of time on correcting my problem.

Anyway, thank you, thank you, thank you, you're brilliant.
Ok Marje, I thought you might want to leave it as is, now that it is all working.

Probably best not to go any further as it would most likely get even more technical and probably 'messy'. It is the sort thing that needs to be carried on-site by someone that has done this sort of configuration work before.

If it was my own setup it would probably take me about 30 mins or less sort out, but it is always difficult attempting to go too deep in forums such as this and it is time consuming.

Anyway its good to know that all systems are go now!

All the best.
