I see the message Printer is Offline when I try to print with a wireless connection in Windows. What should I do?

• This 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. See these instructions.
     • If you can print a nozzle check pattern, go to the next step.
     • If you can't print a nozzle check pattern, check the product for errors and clear them. See these instructions. Try printing a nozzle check pattern again. If you can print, go to the next step. Otherwise, contact Epson Support.
  2. Turn your product off and on again and try printing again. If you can print, you're done and you can skip the remaining steps. Otherwise, go to the next step.
  3. Delete any pending print jobs from the Epson print queue and try printing again. If you can print, you're done and you can skip the remaining steps. Otherwise, go to the next step.
  4. In the Epson print queue, select Printer and deselect the Use Printer Offline checkbox. If you can print, you're done. Otherwise, go to the next step.
  5. Check your product's Wi-Fi indicator and do one of the following:
     • If a wireless connection is established, unplug your router's power cord from the power outlet, wait a brief period, plug it back in, and then try to print. If you can print, you're done. The problem was resolved by restarting your router. If you can't print, restart your computer and try printing again. If these steps do not resolve your problem, contact Epson Support.

       Note: You may need to re-establish the connection for the other devices on your network after you restart your router.

     • If a wireless connection is not established, follow the instructions in the Reinstall the Product Software section below.
