I have recently bought this printer and can't get it installed.
The instructions say the 'link light' must be on to install but no matter
what I do I can't get it to stay on. Switch on the printer, it blinks for
one second and goes out and stays out. Have tried different cables, wireless
and wired connections. Nothing makes any difference. Is anyone using this
printer successfully?

Try checking out the above link. There is no mention of a "link light" in
the basic setup instructions.

The above link concerns setup for an ad hoc network.

Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. The first link doesn't really apply to this printer.
The second I have seen thanks. I am still unable to make any progress as I
just cannot get the link light to stay on.
