Hi Guys
lately, I have moved my laptop and desk to another room, and for some reason, I lost my wireless connection to printer, causing a nuisance as I had to carry laptop to printer for cable connection.
So I gave up, and my printer is now next to laptop and I use cable.
But this morning, I wanted to print from my Ipad, and it printed wirelessly, although laptop was still connected to printer by cable, ipad was connected to nothing?
So I thought for the moment, I had solved wireless problem, so I removed usb cable from laptop to printer, this time it did not work.
So I cant understand how/why ipad can connect wirelessly but not printer.
I followed many tips on Google to rectify connection, but their step x step advice did not always follow on my screen, advice needed, as I would like to move printer.

One last comment, if ever I want to print from my iPad, and it does not work wirelessly like today, can I connect my iPad cable to usb socket on laptop, and laptop connected to Printer?
