Hi Wolf Thanks for the link. I've now been on and downloaded updated drivers and tried a few other things but still getting 'Printer not on line', when I try to print wirelessly. The strange fact is, my other half can print wireless with no problem. When I look at printers installed on her laptop, she has Canon MP640, just like me and also same again but with 'Copy 1' after it. When she tries to print to the first one ... no go, just like me. However if she selects printer with Copy 1 after it, it prints out no problem, wirelessly. Where she got Copy 1 from I don't know, neither does she. We have had the printer for over a year and it used to run wirelesly on BT home hub from both of our laptops .... but having moved house we are now on a different router/service provider. Doesn't seem to have cocked up her print abilities ... just mine.

Canon Pixma MP640. Dell Latitude D630 running Windows XP. Thomson router. I have a Canon Pixma MP640 printer that I am trying to set up for wireless printing. I have used my laptop through a router for months for internet access, so no problem there. I followed the printer set up instructions for wireless printing and it confirms that LAN connection to router is established. It says 'Thomson router connected, wirelss connection established,' etc. However when I then go to my laptop and try to print, it says "printer is off line". If I connect via USB lead, the printer works just fine. Am I missing something simple here???
