epson printer wont print over wifi

This is driving me crazy!

I can print over usb but not over wi-fi.

The printer states connected over wi-fi on my sky network.

The printer states connected to wi-fi.

When I try to print it just sits in the que stating error.

Thanks if anyone can help!!

  • After completion the computer states restart.

    When it is closing windows the documents print by wi-fi.

    When it restarts it loads device drivers and thats it.

    Won't print over wi-fi again.

    So it seems to drop after restart.
  • I have done a network connection test and it states..

    'A router/Access point channel conflict has been detected.'

    If you have problems printing improve you're wireless network environment.

    Any ideas anyone?

    Only thing I can think of at the moment is to maybe assign a permanent IP address to your printer's MAC address in your router, if your router has that facility.

  • Try putting the printer next to the wifi hub. If it works you probably have some interference from another network or other transmitting device. The newspapers were full of fairy lights interfering with wifi last month.
  • Wont print for toffee.

    Tried most things.

    Shows up on my sky router as enabled.

    Have to get an expert I guess.
