- Inability to use the printer wirelessly on an 802.11n network.
- Only one color cartridge.
- Set-up for wireles can be confusing if your router does not have a “SecureEasySettup” or “Connect Now” capabilities.
- Plug the printer into the router and let it get an IP
- Log into your router’s web interface and figure out what the printer’s IP is (or print the setup page).
- For each computer, select start->printers and faxes->Add printer. The trick here is to choose “Local printer attached to this computer” even though it’s networked. Click “Next” and then choose “Create new port”. Click “Next” and use the wizard to set up the printer. Enter the IP of the printer from step (2). When prompted for driver, you can use the windows driver, but I had to insert the manufacturer’s CD and get the driver there. Read full review on Amazon
