I thought I had it and then the following message popped up:
"The printer was able to successfully connect to the wireless network using
the wireless credentials provided. However, this computer is unable to
communicate with the printer.
Please verify that the printer is on the same network as this computer and
try again."
Now what do I do?
So frustrating.
