OT; Canon Wireless Printer

[512taylor]

I used this wireless printer for several years under my AT&T provider. I recent y moved and AT&T assigned me a new ID and password. I'm telling you this in case you might think this is the root of my problem.

My problem is, the system does not now recognize this printer.

I am going to call AT&T, but I would rather have a root canal than talk to them.

Meanwhile, does it seem that the cause of my problem is the new ID and password?

Thanks.

I had a similar problem when I changed routers. My computer would not connect 'wirelessly' with my brother printer. Tech support had me go through the printer menu to 'delete' previous info so it would recognize the new IP. Entered the WEP password and was good to go.

Good luck. Tech stuff can be great when it works and a real pain in the a$$ when it doesn't.

So a couple of things I would check.
First, the obvious - when you changed ISPs, did your SSID change?
So if your router was broadcasting ATT123456, did it change to something else? If so, you'll need to get them on the same network.
Secondly, check to see if your printer has a static IP set. If so, try changing to dhcp and letting the router assign.
Not likely but worth a shot. Years ago I had a wireless router on Comcast, bought a new one and set my mom up with the old one.
She was on AT&T and it wouldn't work... ended up having to chance some ip settings on it, and it worked fine.

ETA:I just reread your question, and realized that perhaps you didn't change ISPs at all and that you are likely using the same router.
It may be worth just resetting printer to factory defaults and trying to start over. It is also possible, but not likely, that your router is limiting the number of devices that can connect. Worth a look.

Thank you for your assistance. Hopefully, I will get this cleared up.
