Wireless Printer

[Matty H]

Anybody on here good with IT? Got an Epson SX235W wireless printer and the last time I used it printed fine. Switched it on to print some invoices and can I get it to work ARGHHHHHHHH MacBook is detecting it, router on, all ok! Just keep getting printer not connected message

Not as easy as that mate. Printer in spare room and I use Mac downstairs. I got it because want it to be wireless - not stand in room next to it connected by cable. Reminds me of the old fashioned "remote control" that was connected to a VCR with a wire lol

 

[OoO]

My wifi printer does this all the time. Usually the printer loses it wifi settings.

What u meant to do mate

 

[OoO]

Well i have a HP mate, so i dont know about epsom.

Usually if the internet in ya house dropped out, the printers go all funny and decide not to connect.

Have you check all the obvious though.

Is the wifi option turned on on router,

Nobody has messed around with default printer

Im a windows guy, so mac knowledge is nil /emoticons/sad.png
