Joe Bass' technology woes thread

This may come back to cloud print. Make sure that the printer you have selected is a local printer. Sometimes google tries to take over control and makes the cloud print copy the default printer (and it works poorly).

or just refill the black ink. I get at least a few refills of the black cartridge before needing a new one.
Costco (some locations) now do $10 ink refills. Gonna use that to fill the cartridges for the hp psc1200
Stopped using cloud print once I removed my old pc. That is the one that the network/ homegroup was based out of....
Now I did manage to get the hp 1200 to spit out some copies (yay!), but damn I hate the lack of speed and the laserjet is so much more clear.
And then.....
Remember when I said that I was useless at this stuff?? I'm sure many of you took for granted that I know the basics -- please don't lol
I was trying to print attachments from my gmail
My laptop doesn't have office installed, so don't have word to open files. So I opened with google docs and that's where I was trying to print with the 3030. Out of desperation I pressed the ctrl shift p to print, and lo and behold that worked!!!
Now why tf would that make a difference??
Also, did I mention you guys are all awesome and I really need to buy a round of ice cream??
Splitting headache...related ro my eye I believe. Back on the T3. No drinks tonight.

Oh look, 2 drivers for the printer. Let me delete the old one, now pick this one...and press print....
And now it prints.
Fyi, Google really SUCKED in trying to solve this for me.
It was you guys and your links. Which I know, some of which came from Google but I got a Google FU from Google U.
Thanks again.
Till we meet again. And yes. We WILL meet again.

Rogers ignite 100 or 150 internet. HiTron modem. PC connected via LAN. 3 phones, 2 tablets, and sometimes a laptop connected via WiFi.
Samsung S4 and LG G4 are losing signal intermittently. LG G5 and Samsung tablets no issues.
Tried rebooting modem (un plugged it) restared phone. Connected via 5g connection. Still losing connectivity.
Google/ YT said something about logging into the modem (is that by typing 162.etc?) and taking off auto channel select and then manually picking a channel.
Is there another fix that I should look at first?
Getting so annoying. #FirstWorldProblems

No harm in trying to change the channel. I highly recommend:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifi.analyzer&hl=en
This will tell you which channels have the least traffic.
To log in, navigate to your default gateway:
The most common are:
http://192.168.0.1
http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.100.1
http://10.10.10.1
If none of these work, start up a cmd prompt and type in:
ipconfig
look for the IP of the default gateway.
Username and password are typically on the back/bottom of the router. If not, google the model name and find the default credentials.

They will probably disconnect for a few seconds, but connection should resume as normal.
Worst case you need to turn the WiFi on the device off and on, but I highly doubt you'll need to even do it.
I was on the 2.4. Just switched to the 5 a few hours ago. Same phone I have been using for a few months. Same place in the house I am using it from. Only change that I can think of was we moved the modem from behind the printer to a shelf above the printer.

Do you have air conditioning? The hot weather can screw with your router/modem as well.
I'm assuming your modem and wifi router are a single unit? Otherwise doing anything with the modem rather than the router will have no affect on wifi signal. Only mentioning it because sometimes people are messing with the wrong piece of the puzzle.

Sorry @unL33T, I never got the notification that you posted here.
Yes to A/C
Yes to just one unit, the Rogers Hitron.
Kept having issues after trying a few suggestions here. Called Rogers tech support and they told me to switch the modem.
So I go get the gigabit modem...they tell me it is the easiest set up....I get home and of course, it doesn't set up. I call and find out that there is a known "provisioning" issue when customers swap out modems and can take 48 hours to get back online.
WTF?!
And today was a PA day, little guy freaking with no YT lol. Luckily he likes to still actually play with toys and go outside.
Bigger issue is the older boy comes back from a school trip today. He is having friends over tomorrow and they were gonna play super smash online.
What I'm ****** about is if it is a known issue, make me aware. I would have waited until Monday as the Wii and the PC are hardwired.
I really hate all this ish.
Oh, and we've burned through a gig of wireless data in 24 hours.
