Your printer supports 'WPS' so, as long as your router also does (which nearly all routers do nowadays), there's no set-up procedure required. Simply press the 'wi-fi' button on your printer and hold it down for three seconds. Then, within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router. The two devices should then automatically pair with each other.

If you find that you still need the Epson software, it's all available for download here:

I'm so sorry to be such a technophobe , but what's the WPS button ( have just upgraded to a BT infinity home hub 5 ).....

Buenchico - you're my hero! thanks to you I'm all sorted and up &
running again !!
Thank you once again...

[Spreeny]

My WiFi & scanner appear to be working ok now but not my printer - if I try
& print anything from my computer I get a message saying 'communication error. Connect the product to the computer'!!
Apart from throwing it out of the window, can anyone please help me :-(

Have you got the printer entrered in devices and printers on you computer?

[Togo]

Entered even.

[Spreeny]

Yes, the icon's there & 'ticked' as the default printer

[Togo]

Okay when you go to print does it list both the printer and scanner? Your pc recognises them as two devices. If it gives the scanner as device chosen you should be able to choose printer as the device you want to operate.

[Togo]

Also check Spreeny that he icon that you say is present is indeed the printer and not just the scanner. As I said your pc sees them as two devices.

[Togo]

If you are now sure that your printer and scanner are listed in devices, it must be that only the scanner part of your Epson is "talking" to your pc via the router. So whatever you did to get the scanner part hooked up needs replicating to get the printer part talking as well.

If you're still having problems, try reinstalling the driver:

Go to my link above.

Click on 'Support'

If it's not already selected, click on 'Drivers and Software'

Look for the most recent driver version shown. (I'm seeing v7.14 but that might be because Epson's server has seen that I've got got Windows 7. If you've got a different version of Windows you might see something different).

Click on it to download it to any convenient location on your computer.

Go to that location and double-click on the file you downloaded to run the driver installation program.

Restart your computer.

Cross your fingers ;-)
