I have tried most of those steps and have had no sucess. How ever i have not tried plugging directly into a USB, i usually just scan for a wireless signal. The USB option may work but unfortantly my desktop computer is a good 30 feet away from my router or printer so the option of ethernet and USB connection won't work unless i get my self a extension cable for either USB or ethernet. In any case, i think at this point this thread is resolved so I will probably just attempt to unplug my computer or get a very long ethernet or USB cable and try it that way. If i still have issues, i will create a seperate thread. Thank you.
