Illustrated troubleshooting workflow
Step-by-step instructions
Check the network first
Confirm your router is online and the printer is within a reliable signal range. Many printer models require a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Verify the printer’s connection
Open the printer network status screen or print a network status sheet if available. Check whether it has a valid local IP address.
Connect both devices consistently
Make sure the computer or phone and printer are on compatible local networks; guest-network isolation can prevent discovery.
Re-add the printer
Remove stale or duplicate printer entries, then add the printer again using your operating system’s printer settings.
Test before resetting
Print a small document. Reset network settings only if simpler checks fail, since resetting removes saved network details.
What to check if the problem continues
- Some Epson models only connect on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Consult your model’s specifications before changing router settings.
- Do not assume an error-code interpretation without the exact model and the official manual; different printer families may use different code tables.
- Try one small test print or scan after each change so you know which step made a difference.
- Write down any new error message and compare it with the official manual for your model.
