You may need to uninstall the printer software, re-boot the system and re-install the printer software.

Also check the firewall settings on your Dell computer.

Please reply if you have any further questions.

Ken,

Please continue with DELL-Babita S

What operating system is installed on the Inspiron N5050? 32-bit or 64-bit? Was the operatign system recently installed/reinstalled?

What virus program and firewall are you using?

Can you run Network Interface and post the results back here?

Hope this helps resolve the issue for you. Please check the wireless capability of your printer as well. In case the wireless card on the printer is defective, you would not be able to use the  printer wirelessly. There may be a Wi-Fi indicator on your printer. Please check the colour of the Wi-fi light to confirm wireless activity status.

Let me know if further help is needed.

Thanks and regards,
