Title: Wireless printing issue... need expert advice
Post by: anonposter on September 17, 2009, 08:53:20 PM

So here is a strange issue...

I have a wireless printer connecting wirelessly to the DIR-655.  I have a pc (wired) and a laptop (wireless) connecting to the DIR-655.  I have had no problems in the past printing from either pc or laptop.  I tried to print today from the laptop and it wouldn't print.  In fact, I could no longer see the printer from the laptop.  There have been no recent changes on the laptop.  I tried reinstalling the driver but it can't see the printer.  The pc has no problem printing.  The router can see all devices without issue.

Is there any setups in the router that could prevent my wireless laptop from seeing a wireless printer?

Thanks again.
