    I purchased this printer a 2 years ago and it worked quite well, set it up with a laptop with xp and used the installation cd and had it go in a few minutes.
    This thing has wifi and that worked fine on linux,xp and morphos.
    Somehow it lost it's settings and wifi settings are gone.
    Now I can't seem to set it up again,tried with a gresh install of xp but when the machine starts to take over the settings through a temporary usb connection it slows down and stalls at 99%....with operation took too long.
    I tried a network cable and connect it straight to the router and the ews off the printer is reachable.
    But nothing what I do seems to alter anything in the wifi setting.I can select my network and alter my wpa2 key but it just resets after selecting to choose a network?
    All I can think off that it is set to ad hoc modus but there is nowhere to set this to infrastructure?
    Strange printer,not easy to set up.
    It does print fine with usb connection though ..at least on morphos

    If your router has a WPS button (pretty common now), then setup should be a snap. Just follow the instructions in the little LCD panel for turning on the wifi, then it's a matter of pressing the WPS button on the router followed by the wifi button on the printer. The connection is made automatically. Hope this helps,
