Installing USB driver after wireless on v715w printer
When I was installing my driver, I was given a choice of how computer would communicate with printer. I chose wireless. That works fine. But I also want to be able to use USB when wireless is down. How do I go back and install that?

fschnarre,
You can install the printer, using the same drivers, choose local connection and follow the instructions. When you attach the printer, it should finish the installation. It may be called Dell V715w (1). I renamed the printer to wireless and wired
You shouldn't have a problems with the printer, unless there is a power flicker, usually during electrical storms. Then power cycling the equipment fixes it.
Power off your ISP modem/router and your wireless router(if any) for 30 seconds. Then power on the ISP modem/router. Wait 15 seconds, then power on the wireless router(if any)
Unplug the printer for 30 seconds, then plug the printer back in. Let it cycle until you see the green WiFi light.
Restart the computer.
