I cannot understand what or why my printer disppears and cannot be found. I don’t know if I have a setting wrong or what, but I need help. I’m about to lose my mind.

I need to know which connection I should be trying - WLAN or SSID or what? I’m clearly doing something wrong.

I know I’m sorry. I was SO frustrated when I posted that, and I was being hounded by the Viasat employee on the phone because I was complaining to them about my horrible service. It’s like all my tech has gone berserk.

Anyway, my setup is just my Brother laser printer, WiFi router, and I typically send docs from my iPP to print. Typically, if I don’t find the printer when I try to send a document, I can go to the printer, click the WiFi, put in the WiFi password, then it’ll pick it up and i can print, but for some reason, right now, even after putting that in on the printer, nothing - it’s like my iPad isn’t finding it at all.

I’ve shut everything off and on, etc., but I am getting nothing.

I’m just so tired of things not working as they should. 😩
