Hello all. My name is Jeff and I am new to the forum and have a detailed question. I have recently purchased a diagnostic scanner for trucks and autos. It is an android based scanner wich is new to our market. Most scanners are windows based. It works great however i bought a wireless printer and after following all setup and network instructions, i still cannot print from a web page. I have downloaded all apps, cloud, canon print, pdf apps and it will not,print. Shows connected to printer under wifi but when i connect to printer it drops me,off,of internet. I have even tried saving page to google drive and,reprinting from there and nothing. So i deleted everything and tried to reset up with using usb. I still cant,get it to work. Im at my wits end and ready to throw a 4000 dollar diagnostic scanner and a 50 printer in the dang trash can. Does anyone,have ideas or,experience using tablets with printers wired or wireless. Right now,i dont care as long as i can print directly from a web page. Ty
Jeff
