V305 wireless connection

Hi,

I can understand electronic devices can create confusion when they do not work the way they are designed for.

Here are few things that we can try to fix this technical issue.

To connect the printer wireless with the computer follow the below steps:

Perform the steps below and ensure that the services required for the printer to work Wireless are started.

1. Press the “Windows + R” to launch the run window.
2. Type “Services.msc” in the run window and hit the Enter key.

Right click each service mentioned below, click properties. Set the startup type as “Automatic” from the drop down menu and click “Start”. Please click “Apply” to save the changes.

The services to be enabled are:

• Human Interface Devices (HID).
• Printer Spooler.
• RPC (Remote Procedure Call).
• RPC Locator (Remote Procedure Call Locator).
• Windows image acquisition (WIA).
• Windows Installer.

Open “Dell printer Home “application in the computer.

Click “Settings” and

Select “Wireless Setup” under settings. And follow the onscreen instructions.

Check if that helps and please reply.

Thanks for your quick response.

Try these tweaks...

Start, control panel, device manager.

Is 'device manager' (which I can't find) a folder or are you refering to the 'printers and faxes' folder?  If the latter in that folder are a number of printers including one labeled Dell V305, but then what?

In the Dell printers folder there was only one item: Dell V305 uninstall.  So presumably I need to d/l new driver software?  Can I do that from the Dell site and input the printer service tag?

balladcafe,

Make and model of your wireless router and the type of security you're using? What channel?

Check your virus program and firewall settings?

balladcafe,

Log in to your router and try chaning the channel to 1, 6 or 11 from Auto.
