Original Title: Wireless printer help

I recently changed the password on my router at home. I have a Lexmark wireless printer hooked up for my laptop and cannot print because of the password. How can I change the password on my printer to match the router password?

    I recently changed the password on my router at home. I have a Samsung printer with both wireless and cable capacity. Right now neither works. How do I fix this?

    From the Start Menu click All Programs

    Look for the Lexmark Folder. Click it. There should be a program called Wireless Configuration Utility. This allows you to change the settings in the printer. You will need to connect the printer to a computer with a USB cable at some point during the procedure.

    If you cannot find this program, go to www.lexmark.com. Select 'Support' and search for information about your printer model. You can also contact Lexmark from there.
