I can connect 1 windows 8 pc with this printer but cant figure out a way to connect my other computers to it.
and individually, it takes 10 attempts to connect and after it does connect it says connection is limited and prints come really late.
Please tell me a way to connect my printer with all the office computers once and for all
(we have same wireless internet through out the office).

The WiFi needs to be 'ON', but don't mess with the WPS.
Yes, just go to each PC, and 'Add a printer'.

well the computers are not that far enough, but the one connected via cable also has connectivity issues, i never connected them through wps button.


 

and what do you mean by "go to each printer and tell this is wifi adress"?
they are pcs not humans. please specify how?

 


Control Panel, Devices and Printers, "Add a printer"
 


1. Don't use WPS. Period. Badly broken and flawed protocol.

The printer should obtain an IP address from your router. That is what you will use on each PC to get it to connect.

But if a hardwired PC also has connectivity issues, that is a problem in the printer.
 

so i dont need to press the wifi button on printer and wps button?
just directly control panel in each pc and add printer?
