I was able to print from Windows before with a wireless connection, but now I can't. What should I do?

• The problem can be caused by your printer, computer, or wireless network. Do the following:
  1. To determine if the printer can print without a computer, print a nozzle check pattern from the product's control panel.
  • If you can print, go to the next step.
  • If you can't print a nozzle check pattern, check the product for error codes and clear the error displayed on the product's LCD screen, then try printing a nozzle check pattern again. If you still can't print, contact Epson support.
  2. Do one of the following:
  • Windows 8: Click the Desktop icon/tile, right-click the Start button. Select Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers. Click your product, then click document(s) in queue, click Printer, then Cancel All Documents. Click Yes to confirm deleting print jobs.
  • Windows 7: Click or Start, and select Devices and Printers. Click your product, then click document(s) in queue, click Printer, then Cancel All Documents. Click Yes to confirm deleting print jobs.
  • Windows Vista or Windows XP: Click or Start > Control Panel > Printers or Printers and Faxes. Double-click your product to open the print queue. Click Printer, then Cancel All Documents. Click Yes to confirm deleting print jobs.

  If you can print now, you are done. You don't need to continue with the steps below.

  If you can't print, check the Wi-Fi light on the product's control panel, then do one of the following:

  • If the Wi-Fi light is on, follow the instructions in the Initialize your Router and Restart your Computer section below.
  • If the Wi-Fi light is off, follow the instructions in the Reinstall the Product Software section below.

  Initialize your Router and Restart your Computer

  1. Unplug your router's power cord from the power outlet, wait a brief period, then plug it back in. Then try to print. (You may need to re-establish the connection for the other devices on your network.)
  2. If you can print, you're done. The problem was resolved by initializing your router.

     If you still can't print, try restarting your computer, then try printing again. If these steps do not resolve your problem, contact Epson support.
