How I can help
Printer and email problems I can help with
Whether the printer has disappeared after a WiFi change or your email stopped working on a replacement computer, I can help trace the problem.
Practical home support
Get the computer, printer and email working together
These problems often overlap. A new router can break the printer connection; a new computer can mean email needs to be set up again; an account password change can make an email program suddenly stop receiving messages.
✓
Scanning
Set up scanning where supported and show you the simplest way to save a scan to the computer.
✓
Email setup
Add your personal email account to the computer and check that sending and receiving works.
✓
After a changeover
Reconnect email, printers and related devices after a new computer, router or WiFi password change.
Worth knowing
A printer problem may actually be a WiFi problem
If several devices are disconnecting, or the printer stopped working after changing the router, it can make more sense to check the home network as a whole rather than repeatedly reinstalling the printer.

Frequently asked questions
Printer & Email Help FAQs
Can you connect my printer to WiFi?
Yes, if the printer supports WiFi and is compatible with your network. I can also reconnect the computers that need to print to it.
Can you help me scan documents?
Yes. Where the printer or scanner supports it, I can set up scanning and show you a straightforward way to use it.
Can you set up my email on a new computer?
Yes. If you have the account password or recovery details available, I can configure the account and test sending and receiving.
What if I have forgotten my email password?
I can help you work through the legitimate account-recovery options provided by your email service. Recovery depends on the information and recovery methods already attached to the account.
My printer worked before I changed the modem. Can you fix that?
Often, yes. A router or WiFi change can leave the printer connected to the old network, so it may need to be reconnected and added back to the computer.
Do you repair broken printer hardware?
My focus is setup, connection and troubleshooting. If the printer has an internal mechanical fault, replacement or a specialist printer repairer may be the better option.
Printer or email refusing to cooperate?
