Notes:

If you are sure the printer is capable of wireless printing, try the following:

“Communication not available” message displays when printing wirelessly
These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:
MAKE SURE YOUR COMPUTER AND PRINTER HAVE VALID IP ADDRESSES FOR THE NETWORK
If you are using a laptop and have power saving settings enabled, you may see the ”Communication not available”
message on your computer screen when you attempt to print wirelessly. This can occur if the laptop hard drive
has powered down.
If you see this message, wait a few seconds and then try to print again. The laptop and printer require a few seconds
to power up again and reattach to the wireless network.
If you see this message again after you have waited long enough for the printer and the laptop to attach to the
network, there may be a problem with your wireless network.
Make sure that the laptop and printer have both received IP addresses:
1 Click , or click Start and then click Run.
