Hello Neil,

I think that I must somehow remove all reference to the printer from my
computer, somehow, and start over. Now I just have to work out how to

That really shouldn't be necessary.

In CUPS, just find the printer, then select Edit Device, and proceed
from there.

Blinking wifi LED - check manual and see what that says.  But here, it
means the device is (re)starting, or searching for a device to connect
to.  It should return to steady state.  If not, ensure your router still
has wifi on.

You can also check wifi status on the printer's control panel or web
page.


Further research shows that the printer is connection via the USB cable. My previous printer had both wifi and USB, with no problem. This one may be using the USB cable and still looking for the wifi.

Perhaps I could remove the USB plug and restart the printer. See what happens. Should that be safe?
