I have a Canon Pixma MG7730 which was connected wirelessly to my NEC laptop (running Windows 10). It worked fine for a year but two weeks ago, it stopped working. I’ve tried turning the printer, router and laptop off and restarting but it didn’t help. Once I could get the printer to respond by scanning from the printer operations panel, but now it can’t find my computer that way either.
After lots of googling, I uninstalled the printer drivers and tried to reinstall using the disc but the computer can’t find the printer so I can’t get past the first stage.
Next I tried checking in the printer what IP address it is using. When I ping that, the request times out.
I’m afraid I don’t know what to do next, short of buying a new printer.
Does anyone know what to do in this situation?
