Hi,
People usually think connecting a printer via wireless is as simple as connecting a PC. However it is not the case. A printer need to communicate with every PC in the same internal network, however each PC will not communicate with other PCs in the same network to protect it private files and also the firewall settings. Next every PC is set to get a dynamic new IP address from the DHCP server everytime when it is powered up and plug into the network. But the printer need to get the same fixed IP address when it is powered up in the LAN.
So the Printer in a LAN need to set up a fixed IP address such that everytime when it is powered up, it has the same IP address that each PC could still get communicate with this Printer. Apart from setting this in the Printer, you also need to reserve this Fixed IP address with your Printer's MAC address in your DHCP server of the router. Otherwise it will get conflict with other PC or device that could have assigned the same fixed IP address. Then you have to setup your Firewall of your PC to let communication to this Printer. Else it will be blocked.
Lastly make sure you install the printer driver correctly in your PC with the same Win OS version such that it could detect the fixed IP address of your printer. Then it should work correctly.
Please let us know any problem you may have in future.
A possible reset might solve hence remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer driver software and connect the Printer to be detected and installed. Check printer properties to see the ink levels.
Use head cleaning before a test is taken . It is possible that the head is not reacting to the need of the command , can be an issue with ink drying , can also be poor ink cartridge contacts
