Can anyone please help?
My printer is wifi and constantly saying "offline" and wont print even thought he wifi button is lit.
It happened earlier on in the week and after a search around the net, someone said to uninstall and reinstall downloading the driver again, I did and it s worked fine until tonight when I have loads of documents to print!
Surely I dont have to keep unistalling / re installing?

Trying ringing Epson directly - they're quite helpful to deal with. If the problems continue, I'd just send it back!0

Have you allocated a fixed IP address to your printer rather than allowing your router to allocate a DHCP address? If DHCP the printer can be allocated a different IP address each time it is powered up. This can definitely confuse Windows no end and you can end up with several copies of the printer being installed in Windows. Problem is, Windows will always try to use the last one and if your printer has been given a different IP address it won't find it and will report it offline.0
