      Yeah, wireless printers can eat my refuse. I just spent a fruitless hour fixing my neighbours printer. Their crime? Restarting the router spooked the printer connection to the network. Shit system integration and poor documentation make this job needlessly painful.

      Eh, for SOHO users with a clear 2.4GHz space, probably works well enough. But for us IT people… We Know

      If anybody has issues with your printers wireless connection constantly dropping. Try setting a static IP address for the printers wifi connection. I’ve fixed 3 wireless printers by doing this. My wife’s work bought her a new wireless laser printer 2 years ago. Thing would lose its ip address every time it went into sleep mode, and it would only reacquire an IP address about half the time. Changed it to a static IP address, and now it always just works.
