### When Your Printer Is Still Tethered Like It's 2005
You bought a **wireless printer** but it's still plugged in with a USB cable because setting up the WiFi bit seemed complicated. Or you set it up once, it worked for a week, then mysteriously stopped.
Printers are universally annoying. Wireless ones doubly so because they add WiFi problems to the usual paper-jam-and-ink-cartridge problems.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** The number one problem with wireless printers is they lose WiFi connection and nobody knows why. Usually it's because the printer has an IP address that conflicts with another device, or your router updated and changed settings. I set them up properly so this happens less.

Good to Know
> 🖨️ **Work from home?** Wireless printing is essential if you're hot-desking around the house. Print from kitchen table, spare room, wherever you're working that day. **Multiple computers?** No problem - wireless printers can be used by unlimited devices once they're on the network. Whole family can print. **Thick walls?** Older Exeter houses with stone/cob walls kill WiFi signal. If printer is in a different room to router, you might need WiFi extender for reliable connection. I can check signal strength and advise.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wireless printer setup in Tiverton
What's involved in wireless printer setup?
Connecting your printer to WiFi, then adding it to all your devices so everyone can print without cables. I install the necessary drivers/apps on your phones and laptops, test printing and scanning works, and show you the basics like changing ink. Most printers take 30-45 mins to set up properly.
I bought the printer ages ago but never set up the wireless bit - can you do it now?
Yes, that's really common. People plug printers in with USB cable initially, then realise wireless would be much better but can't be bothered with the faff. I'll get it on WiFi and remove the cable so you can move it wherever you want.
Can you set it up to print from phones as well as computers?
Yes - that's usually the main reason people want wireless printing. I'll install the manufacturer's app on your phones (HP Smart, Canon Print, Epson iPrint etc) so you can print photos, documents, boarding passes, whatever you need straight from your phone.
What if it stops working after you leave?
Printers are temperamental buggers, let's be honest. Most problems are paper jams, out of ink, or gone offline (which usually means they've lost WiFi connection). I'll show you how to fix the common issues, and leave instructions. If it's properly broken, you can call me back.
Do I need to buy special software?
No - printer drivers and apps are free from the manufacturer. I'll download whatever's needed. You might want ink though - printers always ship with tiny 'starter' cartridges that run out almost immediately.
