I would be grateful for any pointers here.
I have set up my Canon Pixma 5200R to interact wirelessly with my
laptops and this has worked very well until I installed WEP security on
my router. Now , if I run the Canon IJ network tool, the printer is
marked "not found" and a message says "there are ports that cannot be
used with their current settings" - all a bit beyond me. Any ideas on
how to rectify this would be welcome.

You also have to activate WEP on the printer, using the same key.
