Greetings all,
I recently obtained a Brother HL-2270/DW Wireless laser printer and I am having a few problems perceiving how it is utilized in wireless mode. There is a video that is posted on YouTube that shows everything step by step however, I am still at a loss and I am not sure if I'm allowed to post the link here.
I think it is possibly the way I am receiving how wireless is used with this printer. In this particular instance, I have a Toshiba laptop with built in wireless which is on and functional. I have installed all the drivers, etc. for the laser printer. I can hardwire the printer to my Toshiba without any problem however, if I disconnect the hardwire and attempt to print a test Word or text/notepad document, it fails as if the printer did not exist.
Is not in some way that Toshiba or any other wireless computer here supposed to detect the existence of a wireless printer and after some light configuration be able to print to it? Everything I saw in the video on YouTube and the manufacturers website shows nothing about connecting this to any type of wireless router, etc.
So, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks for any assistance and clarification you could supply!
