  Internet Explorer says that app won’t connect to printer at this time.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Your question falls outside the realm of the WordPress.com support community.

  Good luck!

  My printer works. Internet Explorer says that the WordPress app is not connecting to it.

  Are you referring to WordPress for iOS or WordPress for Android?

  Download Apps for WordPress.com

  Whichever comes through my lap top. iOS I believe.

  iOS only runs on Apple products (iPod, iPhone, iPad). You probably have a Windows laptop (judging from the fact that you use Internet Explorer).

  Are you trying to print your blog from viewing it in Internet Explorer? Are you able to print any other website from that browser?

  I tried printing from 2 separate computers with Internet Explorer and each one had the same negative result. I can print from other websites using internet Explorer.

  What is the exact error message you’re getting? Can you make a screenshot of it perhaps?

  Yes, this.

  Can you try printing your blog using Chrome?

  Maybe there’s something unique to the Syntax theme that doesn’t quite like Internet Explorer.

  Now I get through to the print function but I get no preview of the page which is provided in a small box in Windows 8 and it won’t print. I no longer get an error message. I double checked and printed pages from another website successfully. Somehow WordPress is not feeding images of my pages to the printer.

  I use the most basic syntax theme.
