Significance

• Wireless printing issues stop print jobs from being sent to the printer. Some common sources for the problem include incorrect router configurations, no IP address assigned to the printer, or the printer is not shared on the network.
  
  

Features

• When a router is misconfigured or an IP address is not assigned to the printer, the client computer returns an error to the machine. If the wireless printer is not working properly, such as low ink or a broken device, the print job returns malformed.
  
  

Function

• Wireless print servers contain the drivers to print to the printer. If the drivers are not installed on the server, the user is unable to send a print job. Occasionally, the printer will print the document, but the formatting is not set properly.
  
  

Considerations

• Sometimes the user does not have permission to send print jobs to the printer. Print server administrators should check permissions to ensure the user is allowed to send the print job.
  
  

Prevention/Solution

• Check the printer's IP address, the print server drivers and the wireless connection when troubleshooting wireless print server issues.
