Printer & scanner setup

Printer says it's offline, or won't print from your phone? We'll get it working.

  • Says "offline" even though it's
  • Prints from one device but
  • Stopped working after a new
  • Pages sit in the queue

Most home printer problems come down to Wi-Fi, settings or the wrong printer software, not a broken printer. We set your printer up properly on your Wi-Fi so it prints from your computer, phone and tablet, and get scanning working too.

How we fix it

How we get it printing

  1. Find out why it's offline

    Wi-Fi, settings, printer software or the printer itself.

  2. Connect it to your Wi-Fi properly

    Set up so it stays connected, even after the modem restarts.

  3. Install the right printer software

    On each computer that prints, so it finds the printer every time.

  4. Set up phones and tablets

    Printing from your phone or tablet without extra fuss.

  5. Get scanning working

    Scan to your computer, or to email where your printer supports it.

  6. Test from every device

    We print and scan from each one before we finish.

What this service doesn't cover Mechanical repairs, parts and ink. If the printer itself is faulty, we'll tell you, and help you choose and set up a replacement if you need one.

Questions

Printer and scanner answered

Why does my printer keep saying it's offline?+

Usually the printer has lost its Wi-Fi connection or changed its network address, so the computer can't find it. We set it up so it stays found.

Why did my printer stop working after I got a new modem?+

The printer is still looking for the old Wi-Fi network. It needs connecting to the new one, and each computer may need to find it again.

Can you set up printing from my phone?+

Yes, for most modern wireless printers. We'll set it up and show you how.

Do you repair printers?+

We fix setup, Wi-Fi and software problems. If the printer has a mechanical fault, we'll tell you and help with a replacement.

Can this be done remotely?+

Sometimes. If the printer needs connecting to Wi-Fi from its own buttons, a home visit is usually easier.
