Q: I cannot print to my wireless printer with my Iphone5.

Jul 20, 2015 5:55 AMby rvrmom,Yes, I have turned the router and printer off and then back on. I also have a computer printing to the same printer with no problems. I have also done a reset on my Iphone5 and did a "forget this network" , then let the Iphone find the router again. Same, still won't print.

They can be on the same router, but on a different network; i.e., the printer can be on network 1, but the phone can be on the guest network, which is why they don't see each other. Please check this.

I am not tech savy at all.....I can say the IP address on the Iphone (where you check the information) is different from the printer IP address. My computer still prints to the printer, just not the Iphone.

I have no idea how to check that on your printer as I don't know what kind of printer it is. Get the manual out or look it up online as to how to get into the settings there and make sure the name of the wireless network is exactly the same. If it's not, go back to the iPhone and connect to the same wireless network that the printer is connected to and you should then be able to print.
