Just had a call from an expat in the village (never met him, the local shop gave him my number) who has an IT problem and I don't know the answer. He's just changed from Free to Orange. Free cut his land-line in advance of agreed date so Orange have provided an Airbox? to tide him over. He can make calls, connect to the Internet but can't get his printer to work. It's WiFi, the printer receives the document but won't print. Any ideas?

Connect the printer directly to the computer?

When our Orange box was upgraded our printer ceased to work through the wi-fi. Despite trying everywich way to make it work, including updating the drivers, we never could. So have reverted to plugging in the lead, which is a bit of a pain but at least it works.

We have had to change our Orange box a few times and have had an air box for two months, we couldn't connect to our printer with it either and had to go via a computer.

Anyone use such a thing? I want to print from my tablet to a non WiFi printer. I've looked at Print Sharer and it's good but not free. Others I looked at were Samsung and HP, neither of which seemed to work. I'd prefer something for nothing. Recommendations? Might as well put the two questions together. |

As I said, I've passed on the suggestions and hopefully it will work.

Oops. I thought I'd posted that I'd passed on the suggestions. Evidently not. But I have.
