Struggling to connect your printer to Wi-Fi?

You’re not alone — printer setup can be a nightmare. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you get printing fast.

🖨️ 1. Make sure your printer is Wi-Fi enabled

Double-check that your printer supports wireless connections and that Wi-Fi is turned on.
